7 Ways to Live a Beautiful Life

My grandmother is about to die. He had good health, a family, a loving man, dancing and singing, growing things, running a business.

There are some cabinet bones though; His early life was filled with some harrowing ordeals that frightened and could not have prevented him. In balance, good health, but there were challenges.

Right now, he has entered a dream world and is often there when his eyes are open. There are logical moments but his temporary memory is no more. He wakes up and wonders who he is.

But if you don't push her to be in your period, she's happy to be held by the hand, singing old songs, laughing, telling you what. His personality has not changed.

What he does, we think, is to sort through the various stages of his life, which come with conditions that need to be understood by the heart. He seems to be burning old memories, old feelings.

Maybe he's also looking forward to joining my grandfather in the dance, as they always do. They meet at the dance.

I don’t really know what it’s like for him but I see him returning to the innocent kind, burning the bars of love. I see her life and all our lives as a gift to learn to love.

This makes me think: How can we remove the barriers of love now? How can we burn out the useless and let our good shine?

1. Practice forgiving.

Release the poison of hatred. Let them bathe in the cool meditation of the mountain. Simply put, I forgive NAME and I forgive myself. I send love to both of us.

2. Try to understand.

Play the action with someone else. What could move them to do what they did? Are they also in pain? Were they irrational and unreasonable?

3. Change your beliefs.

Limitations and obstacles in love (and anything else we want in life) are about the beliefs we have. The past is no more; only our beliefs live to affect our present life. What belief prevents you from feeling love? Is this belief true? Can you believe otherwise?

4. Change your story.

Change the way you see it and tell it. What did you learn

Your story might be: "I feel lonely because I was treated badly as a child and I can't trust others." You can turn this into: “My early life taught me to desire and seek healthy communication.”

If you lived in fear as a child, did it teach you courage? Your story could be: "Fear has taught me to stand up for what I believe in." Change your story if you need to. Your previous story is running your life now, and now that is the most important thing.

5. Create darkness.

Play with health resources. Art transforms experience. Write, draw, paint, record, bake, cartoon, collage, or just laugh at hard things with a good friend. Take it out.

In the movie Something’s Gotta Give, the tragic playwright (Diane Keaton) writes about insanity, sometimes crying and laughing happily as she “barks” a beautiful comedy scene. Sometimes, a bad truth can be a joke. Make art.

6. Give love to feel love.

Love lives in my heart when I give it. Giving love makes us feel loved. How do you bestow love? What is your loved one most? Do they like hugs, talking, delicious food, flowers, car movies? Feel the love in the act of giving. You may not need to watch car movies.

7. Appreciate this wonderful life.

Make a list of your thanks. Write down your little and simple pleasures. They are proud of them. For all darkness and light, life is a wonderful gift.

I want to talk about that last point. Often, the person approaching the end is reluctant to let go of this life. I can feel that feeling looking at my grandmother now. Whatever life holds, we want more of it, or it's time to say goodbye.

Years ago, I saw a beautiful modern dance game called Fallen Angels. At the last moment, the stage is filled with a thin layer of water. All but one had ascended to heaven. One dancer was left scrambling and fighting like a fish in shallow water, clinging firmly to a difficult and beautiful life.

In that case, giving up life was a real struggle. Despite all this confusion and confusion, heartache and grief, this last dancer did not want to leave, not even in heaven.

In all its comparisons, life is good. At the end of our lives, I think we may want to hold on to everything, good and bad. I feel that our souls will not change anything.

Let us embrace beauty as much as possible now and burn the barriers of love. We can do our best, learn to love as we go along, live it and love it all
