True Love, No Strings Attached

Have you experienced that "playing real good for free" you always receive more than you give?

"Just for today, I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out; if anybody knows about it, it will not count."   

Let me use this small exercise to help me break free of my need to get something back when I give. For as today's CTC author says, "Only when I perform a loving act with no expectations will I reap the true reward of giving."

When I am able to give with no expectations..... so many more people benefit. "Every good and loving gesture soothes my soul and contributes to a healthier world."  

Let me be anonymous and generous... knowing each action contributes to a flourishing spiritual well-being.  I too am more at peace, knowing that  I am engaged in worthwhile pursuits.  This action step creates the motion of unconditional love. 

"I was created in love. For that reason nothing can express my beauty nor liberate me except love alone."  Mechtild of Magdeburg
