Your Ticket to Peace: Love Your Enemies

Today, we’re diving into a topic that is both challenging and incredibly transformative: loving your enemies and praying for those who persecute you. I know, I know—this sounds like a tall order. But trust me, embracing this mindset can be your golden ticket out of a life filled with hate, fear, and chaos. And what awaits you on the other side? Unprecedented peace.

Why Love Your Enemies?

1. **Inner Peace**

When you harbor feelings of hate or resentment, you’re the one who suffers. These negative emotions can weigh heavily on your heart and mind, casting a shadow over your daily life. By choosing to love your enemies, you free yourself from this burden. It’s a liberating experience that brings a sense of inner peace you never thought possible.

 2. **Emotional Growth**

Love is a powerful force for overcoming adversity. When you choose to love those who hurt you, you gain emotional resilience and strength. You also become better equipped to handle life’s many challenges. It’s like exercising a muscle—the more you practice, the stronger you become.

3. **Better Relationships**

This practice doesn’t just impact your relationship with your enemies; it transforms your entire social landscape. When you cultivate love over hate, you become more empathetic and compassionate, traits that enrich all your relationships.

 How to Love Your Enemies

 1. **Empathy**

Put yourself in their shoes. Understand that people often hurt others because they are hurting themselves. This awareness can turn your anger into compassion.

2. **Forgiveness**

Forgiveness is not about letting others off the hook but rather freeing yourself from the prison of resentment. When you forgive, you reclaim your energy and peace.

3. **Pray for Them**

It may seem counterintuitive, but praying for those who persecute you can have profound effects. It shifts your focus from their faults to their need for healing and love, which in turn softens your heart.

 4. **Set Boundaries**

Loving your enemies doesn’t mean you become a doormat. It’s crucial to set boundaries and protect your well-being while still holding space for love and compassion in your heart.

How I started to Live Differently

 
I was at a crossroad in my life when I learned to Live Differently.

It was several years ago that I was an investment advisor for a large regional bank.  I loved my position, my clients, the work. I was sure I was going to retire from this position.  Then one day the bank changed it's business model, didn't need as many investment advisors and my position was cut.  I was let go!

I did not have a plan B and felt like I was stuck in the muck.  What was I going to do now?  I knew that I didn't want to stay in the financial industry.  I didn't want to have my friends, income and career taken from me again.  I wanted to Live Differently.

For many years I was interested in natural products and how nature can help to support my bodily systems.  I completed a master herbalist certificate. I completed several master Reiki certificates and I knew that this was a direction I wanted to go in.

That's when I discover the essential oils of Young Living and their Seed to Seal promise.  Knowing about herbs and natural products I was thrilled to finally find a company that got it!  The products are only as good as the way the plants are grown, treated and processed to get the best results.  That is what Young Living does.  I also was very impressed with the way they combine essential oils into a wide variety of products for home, personal care, immune system, and event pets!  I had never discovered a company that does all of this and give you the opportunity to create an income simply by sharing the products.  I was hooked!

But that just started my journey to Live Differently.  I knew I wanted to get my Reiki practice started and there were so many internal stories I was telling myself about why this was not going to work!  I felt defeated until my good friend handed me the Aroma Freedom Technique book and asked me to join the certification class.  This technique blew me out of the water!  It helped me to turn around my internal narrative and self doubt I had to changing the way I saw myself and the world around me.  It showed me a way to use the essential oils I loved to improve my overall mental state.

So I was on my way.  Still I felt like I didn't have enough traction to really make a difference and that is when I found Oola.
Finding balance in an unbalanced world is exactly how I felt and that is what the Oola book talked about.  It showed me a simple framework to change the lifestyle I had to the life I really wanted to live.  It also is a whole community of like minded people that want to continually improve themselves and the world they live in. Now I had all the pieces that I needed to Live Differently.   

The best part is I get to share this with everyone who wants to Live Differently.
