“Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything.
And between the two, my life flows.”
—Nisargadatta Maharaj
Leaving a legacy of love begins with positive energy and a healthy optimism for your future and the future of your world. When you channel love and create what you want in alignment with what is best for yourself and others, this flow becomes a spiritual path that leads to living joyfully, abundantly, and well. Leaving a legacy of love is the path of seeing life as a challenge, an adventure―and, most of all, a gift. Being and expressing love is your soul legacy and your purpose in being here on earth.
People who leave a legacy of love wherever they go are love ambassadors. You don’t have to be a saint or guru maintaining an austere and monastic lifestyle. Quite the opposite, you usually go unnoticed. You are happy, joyful, and peaceful, even in the midst of life’s messiness. You are positive and present compared to most people living at lower levels of spiritual awareness.
Here’s how you can be a love ambassador, leaving a legacy of love:
You are connected to a field of divine energy that emanates from you. You consciously plug into this energy source through prayer or meditation, being in nature, or simple mindfulness. Through your connection to source, you are in touch with your infinite nature as love and live each day as a sacred meditation.
You are committed to your personal transformation. Secure in your trust in yourself and your source, you let go of trying to control your life, and instead allow it to unfold. You acknowledge the divine order that exists within you and in everything around you. You surrender any expectations of how life should be, and focus your intentions on what you want it to be.
You live in a constant stream of gratitude. You wake up every morning with a sense of appreciation and a healthy anticipation for what the universe has in store for you. Before your feet even touch the floor, you open your heart and give thanks for the day in front of you.
Life comes at you too; yet, you trust that your spirit is stronger than any problems you can possibly face. You embrace every situation as an opportunity for transformation, even when that situation unravels the fabric of your life. You focus on the light in darkness and affirm your strength in handling whatever comes your way.
As co-creators, you guide their intentions into reality by collaborating with your source. Visualizing yourself out in front of your intention, you imagine how your manifested intention would look and feel in your life. As you go about your day, you think and act as if your intention has already manifested.
You are whole and complete within yourself, and therefore abundant. You take great pleasure in giving and receiving; this keeps your abundance flowing and in circulation. You “pay it forward” by buying coffee for someone in line behind you or giving gifts on a whim, simply to make someone feel good.
You continuously express your intention to love yourself and your fellow beings. When you interact with others, you acknowledge them through eye contact and a smile. You feel completely seen and heard in your presence.
You have a high vibrational energy that overrides negativity with love. You are highly aware of the level of energy you bring to any moment. You trust that the simple act of putting your attention on your heart center and emitting love energy raises your vibration.
You are, however, aware of your need to love and care for yourself, and so you take regular breaks to restore and recharge your energies. You take quiet time throughout the day, and only selectively tune into mainstream media outlets. Much time is spent in meditation, in nature, and in healing practices such as yoga, massage, acupuncture, and alternative healing modes.
Living in the flow of love, you cultivate soul-hearted relationships by surrounding yourself with people who love, support, and care for you unconditionally. You create an energetic support team that listens to you without judging, enabling, or commiserating, and encourages you to trust yourself, follow your hearts, and embrace your vulnerabilities.
You spend time playing, simply having fun, and celebrating being, alone or with your partner, family, or friends. You are a sensuous being and take pleasure in the simple things in life that make your hearts sing with joyful abandon. You say yes to new situations that make you laugh, force you to explore outside your comfort zone, or prompt you to view your life from a new perspective.
You take responsibility for your vibrational footprint on the planet. You are humanly and environmentally conscious by making choices that sustain the well-being of the planet and all its inhabitants. You live consciously through making enlightened choices that serve yourself as well as others highest and greatest good.
