But when we act out of anxiety, haste, fear, or pressure from others, when we respond to action through anything except our true source, love, a situation can quickly escalate into what may become a chronic problem. To approach a situation with love means to first give that divine love to yourself. Be alone, make a time and a space for that loving energy to be heard and felt. This is the first, most solid step to approaching all areas of life. You will see clearly that you are a miracle, and that all of life is a miracle, and you will find that by giving spiritual attention to all areas of your life, you are turning your daily existence into a meditation.
Life then becomes a prayer, infused with gratitude and joy, and at the deepest level, peace.
Only when we stop focusing on the problems in our lives can we allow this peace to flow through us. A favorite story of mine has to do with a very successful businessman in New York. He was almost too successful in one way, because his success had also created a dissonance in his life. Because of all the events and tensions that were going on with his business, this man had tremendous stress. He was so caught up in his business problems that the stress level had built to the point where he found himself with a migraine headache that was just tearing him apart.
