[00:00:00.040]
You’re looking for love.
[00:00:01.420]
Everybody’s looking for love.
[00:00:02.960]
And by the end of this video,
[00:00:04.110]
I’ll show you a simple way to connect to a deeper love and a deeper,
[00:00:08.550]
even spiritual connection than you’ve ever experienced.
[00:00:20.960]
It’s crazy how a stranger could become the most important person in your life.
[00:00:25.840]
I think about my wife.
[00:00:26.690]
At one point, my wife was just someone I’d never met than someone that I
[00:00:30.570]
saw, and an acquaintance, and a good friend, and now the most important person
[00:00:35.720]
in my life that I cannot imagine life without her.
[00:00:37.800]
And as I think about relationships in my life, the ones that I’m close
[00:00:41.090]
to, I realize there are five common things that make that relationship what it is.
[00:00:45.670]
First, it’s time.
[00:00:47.200]
Think about somebody that you’re
[00:00:48.470]
the closest with, someone you feel really connected with.
[00:00:51.400]
How much quality time have you spent with them?
[00:00:53.560]
A lot of times we feel like we’re too busy for something.
[00:00:55.920]
What busy means, it’s a matter of priorities.
[00:00:57.840]
It means that something else is more important than this.
[00:01:00.370]
Second one is communication.
[00:01:02.640]
Think about that person that’s close to you.
[00:01:04.470]
What communication do you have?
[00:01:06.270]
Is it authentic? Is it deep?
[00:01:08.200]
Which conversations have you had that have brought you closer?
[00:01:10.600]
Were those really real? Were those open?
[00:01:12.340]
Were those honest?
[00:01:13.270]
The type of communication we have with somebody determines
[00:01:16.200]
the closest of that relationship and how close we will become.
[00:01:19.030]
Number three is sharing space.
[00:01:21.280]
Think about places that you’ve gone
[00:01:22.800]
and shared space with that person that you’re close with.
[00:01:25.070]
What moments, what experiences did you have with them?
[00:01:28.200]
You’re like, oh, that was a day
[00:01:29.600]
or a moment, an experience that we had that brought us closer.
[00:01:32.320]
Sharing space with someone is so important in relationship.
[00:01:35.160]
Number four is service. There are two different types of service.
[00:01:37.810]
First is giving service.
[00:01:39.240]
The second one is receiving service.
[00:01:41.190]
Think of a moment that you
[00:01:42.690]
gave them something, you served them, you gave them something that they wanted.
[00:01:46.680]
And how much closer did they feel to you?
[00:01:48.320]
The moment that they stepped up in your life, they served you at a moment when you
[00:01:51.310]
needed it or just because they wanted to show their affection to you.
[00:01:54.770]
How did you feel about them after that?
[00:01:57.050]
And number five is love.
[00:01:59.290]
And for this one, I want you to think of a time when
[00:02:02.170]
maybe you did something that wasn’t the smartest thing to do
[00:02:05.410]
in that relationship or in your life, and they still showed up for you.
[00:02:09.200]
They were still there for you in that moment, how much closer did you
[00:02:12.810]
feel knowing that they cared for you in those moments you needed them.
[00:02:18.970]
I want you to take those things
[00:02:20.960]
and I want you to copy paste it to your relationship with God, with the divine,
[00:02:23.960]
with the universe, whatever you want to call it.
[00:02:26.190]
The cool thing is wherever you are, if you apply these principles
[00:02:29.530]
consistently, your relationship will get stronger.
[00:02:32.330]
What quality time could you spend and make for that connection that you have?
[00:02:37.080]
When you make time for something that will
[00:02:39.010]
connect you, that will align you to more peace, to more love, to more
[00:02:42.570]
presence, that will affect every other of your life.
[00:02:46.520]
What if you just were able to have
[00:02:47.720]
that communication, whether it’s prayer or meditation or just sitting in nature or
[00:02:51.760]
chanting or singing, whatever that is for you?
[00:02:53.600]
To me, when I first started communicating with God, it was for me, right?
[00:02:56.800]
I felt like I was talking to myself.
[00:02:58.150]
But when I did it consistently
[00:02:59.840]
and I just started listening and I started to experience a different
[00:03:03.890]
experience the more I did it, just like you do in relationships.
[00:03:07.690]
Where do you feel closest to the divine, to God?
[00:03:10.880]
What do you feel the closest? Is it nature?
[00:03:12.560]
Is it church? Is it a temple?
[00:03:13.870]
Go back to a moment where you felt the most connected?
[00:03:16.760]
Or maybe somewhere you think you could feel connected.
[00:03:18.510]
How could you make time to be there
[00:03:20.890]
and when you’re there, connect and communicate authentically.
[00:03:24.240]
As you’ve done it unto the least of these, you’ve done it unto me.
[00:03:26.680]
That’s God saying,
[00:03:27.200]
if you’ve done it to other people, it’s like you’re doing it to me.
[00:03:29.810]
And so if I can give love to people
[00:03:32.210]
and I can give them this beautiful source of healing and also receiving.
[00:03:36.760]
Allowing yourself to receive
[00:03:38.170]
love or receive service and receive it with gratitude
[00:03:42.360]
because science and spirituality all say when you’re in the feeling of
[00:03:46.090]
gratitude, you’re in tune, you’re the most intuitive and that connects you.
[00:03:52.040]
What if you allowed yourself to know that right now, no matter what you’ve done
[00:03:55.110]
in the past, no matter where you’ve been, that you’re loved right now as you are,
[00:03:59.600]
and that God loves you, the universe, whatever you want to call it.
[00:04:02.230]
I say that because I want to leave it open to you.
[00:04:05.370]
God loves you where you are and loves you enough not to keep you where you are.
[00:04:09.560]
It changed my perspective because some of us grew up in these
[00:04:12.410]
cultures that teach us like, you have to earn this love or you have to be
[00:04:16.160]
this thing, because maybe that’s how we grew up in our families or life.
[00:04:20.090]
But the beautiful part about the divine and God is you’re loved right now.
[00:04:25.960]
You.
