“…And I Mean That With All The Love In My Heart”
A fun expression we use in our house quite a bit.
.
Of course we say it when we’ve just dropped a piano on someone’s head, or at least stepped on a toe or two.
.
Supposedly, it’s to cushion the blow for whatever came before it, or is about to come.
.
I like that expression. It’s fun to say.
.
Because most of the time when our family uses it amongst each other it’s in good fun. I’ll use it on someone when I’m about to say something about their singing skills. And they’ll use it on me after a comment about my fashion sense.
.
Here’s the cool thing…there’s very little real antagonism that goes on. So if we’re having a real disagreement it can get serious, but quiet.
.
Sometimes we’ll use that expression and really mean it. “I love you. You’re magnificent. Now here’s what I hate about what you’re doing.”
.
And every once in a while I use it outside the family. It’s a great way of throwing someone off balance – getting them to hear you in a way they might not.
.
Most difficult conversations don’t have the words “with all the love in my heart” in them.
.
But when they do it forces the listener to pay closer attention than they might normally.
.
AND…I don’t use it unless there really is love in my heart.
.
Fortunately there almost always is, even when it isn’t focused on the person I’m discussing with in that moment.
.
Try this little gem of an expression when the circumstances seem right. See if it lightens things up, or puts things into a clearer and better focus.
.
Try in on yourself.
.
Because most of the negative energy you have swirling around you is for yourself.
.
That’s not true.
.
ALL of the negative energy you have swirling around you is for yourself.
.
Because if someone is doing something that bothers you, or enrages you, or anywhere in between…
.
And you get pissed off at them for doing it…
.
It’s a complete and total reflection of your core emotional state.
.
That off key singing when you’re trying to balance the checkbook?
.
That pile of dishes that didn’t get done?
.
That betrayal on a deep level?
.
None of it touches the Divine energy that’s within them…or you.
.
And the usual disclaimer…you don’t have to subscribe to any particular religion, or any religion at all to realize you are part of something that is more than your day to day experiences.
.
You do have love in your heart.
.
Nothing changes it.
.
But everything interacts with it.
.
And leading with it – with time and practice – changes the circumstances of your life.
With All The Love In My Heart,

HOW TO RECEIVE
.
It opens up the pathway to the Love in your Heart.
.
And lets you use it let go of a crappy reality.
.
And replace it with a beautiful one that has your name on it.

Five minutes of compassionate, gentle truth.
I don’t care if you’re 100 pounds overweight, $100,000 in debt, or 100% lonely.
You are beautiful, loving and loved…right now.
I see through the disappointment, frustration and desperation.
And I see it in that beautiful, morbidly obese woman at the gym.
Find your beauty.
And find someone else who has it too. Discover it in each other.
You Gorgeous Hunk O’ Woman!
I have a good number of female friends and coaching clients. At some point in our friendship/professional relationship I refer to nearly all of them as something similar to the title of this article.
There are two main reasons for my use of that statement..
1. I mean it every time I say it. I find the beauty in each person I hang out with. There’s always something. A smile, long flowing hair, a lilt in the voice. In everyone who crosses my universe there’s something that’s adorable. Even if it’s not their defining characteristic, it’s there. I’ve done this with women age 14 to 70, and sometimes with my fellow males.
2. When I point out the gorgeousness of the person I’m hanging out with it tends to elicit more of the same. I try to be careful in the way I put it out there…always respectful and playful. Usually flirty. If someone’s not open to my brand of coaching and/or friendship I probably wouldn’t attract them into my life.
If they are in alignment with me they appreciate the positive attention. It’s absolutely amazing how people (not just talking women here) need to hear good things said about them. Most of us crave it, though we’ve been socialized not to own up to that fact.
I’ve seen people absolutely conflicted in their lives…twisted up like a pretzel. They’re scared, lonely, sometimes desperate and working on what they think is a challenge of their intellect.
Then they get reintroduced to their own beauty…in a loving and playful way. And a flood of emotions come forth. Profound stuff happens. Pain they’ve been hanging onto forever comes to the surface, then gets washed away.
Energy that’s been tied up in self doubt and regret is now free to go exploring. And those seemingly impossible life problems get solved in the most amazing of ways.
Know anyone who can use some loving kindness on your part? Try giving some away.
See what happens. Most likely both of you will start feeling your inner and outer beauty…
and your POWER.

Another one of those gym moments.
When you permit a different picture of yourself to be the dominant one you carry around in your head…
And when you hang with people who are where you’d like to be…
You BECOME it.
Like my lady friend at the gym did.
Four and a half minutes of out of breath wisdom.
Enjoy,
Larry
