A Bucket of Love

WHAT IF WE WERE BORN WITH A BUCKET OF LOVE

As babies, the love we felt was amazing. We felt whole and complete. However, as we grew in consciousness constructing an ego, we started developing holes in our bucket, misconceptions we drew from ideas and observations. (You know how children misconstrue things….the things they hear, the meaning of events, the size of things.)

The holes, false beliefs about ourselves and the world, made holes in our bucket, and love started to drain out. As a baby and young child, our parents may have tried to keep our bucket of love full, but as we grew we developed even more holes. Especially in school, where we may have compared ourselves to others, we possibly felt inadequate, possibly shameful.

As we became adults, developing even more holes from work situations and perhaps a significant other, we looked to others to fill our bucket as we had expected as a child, but other people couldn’t fill it fast enough, didn’t fill it like we wanted or didn’t care to fill it at all.

We started to feel very depleted. And what started occupying the empty space

where the love had been? You guessed it…victim thoughts that harmed our self-worth and false ideas about the world. We lost a sense of purpose and meaning, became confused about what life was about, and projected negativity on our fellow travelers.

Some discovered rather than looking for others to fill our bucket with love, we could and needed to do that ourselves. So we engaged our willpower to fill our bucket using prayer, affirmations, goal setting, vision boards, self-help books, and courses. Yet, we were still leaking love no matter how hard we tried.

With even more consciousness, we realized we needed to plug the holes in our bucket. The puzzle pieces of our lives being so dense, they broke away, seemingly lost. So we embarked on the journey of our lifetime……realizing, uncovering, accepting, practicing……our true nature, our Being. The pieces can be found and the holes can be mended, the puzzle piece vibrations becoming clear and clean allowing us to uncover our Being of love and light. It is the hope for the world as we do this piece by piece, hole by hole, person by person, country by country, world by world.

And so it is.
