Episode 97 – Giving Loving Kindness
When I made a lot of money, I've discovered that it cannot buy happiness. You can't find pure joy and happiness. Money covers sadness for a minute. And you'll get miserable later. - Kellan Fluckiger

What you are about to learn:
What do I think about loving-kindness?
So when I think about loving-kindness, those two words juxtaposed means something powerful. Love is the intention and action. Love is both the intention and action to put someone else's needs before your own, put them first or put them high, or put them in a place of importance. And so love is the intentional choice of putting someone's life welfare first. Kindness is often about how we approach doing things, how we treat people.
Before you give loving-kindness to others, start with yourself first...
I know, I told you that putting the interest of others firstly to your goal is the formula to this, but how about, if you are not used in doing so? What is the first step you have to take to learn how to practice loving-kindness?
Start with yourself. - So the first place you need to look at is what your relationship with yourself is? How do you treat you? Do you give yourself a loving-kindness? Are you patient? Are you tolerant? Are you forgiving? Are you intentionally looking after your well being and your health and growth and kindness? That doesn't mean self-indulgence?
Taking care of yourself with loving-kindness means even though you've declared yourself to be a person of love and kindness, being gentle and forgiving when you fail, being tolerant and recommitting and trying again, when things don't go, all of those things are part of creating the relationship with yourself.
Next, relationship to heaven…
We quickly learned that there’s a heavenly playbook. And then we got a couple of different ways. One is, there is no God, it's pointless, stupid. Nobody's listening anyway because I pray and nothing happens. Or, better yet, we learn that the purpose of this life is to create this ultimate life and to learn selflessness, to learn to be gentle, and kind, and loving and giving, those are the very attributes we expect God to have towards us. So maybe what this means is, this love that we expect, and we want God to have toward us. He's trying to help us learn and have toward each other. And so, when you think about building relationships with Heaven, what I finally come to is, I've stopped asking for things. What I asked for are comfort and ease. What do I need to do today?
Living life….
Plan your day—every morning when you are having breakfast. Think… How will I plan my day today? How can I elevate the situation or the conversation to anyone before we start? How can I behave in that situation so that love and kindness are the fabric and framework from which interactions occur, and decisions are made? So my preparation of choosing intentionally to give loving kindness into myself to everyone I interact and in every situation has rewards all over the place, all day long.
My closing remarks
The last thing I want to say about it is, there is an unseen element. Now we know that energy and thoughts and feelings move unseen to the air, we don't have to hear everything. We can sense it when people walk into the room. We can sense emotion without seeing. We know there are unseen transmission methods that we don't understand yet. Then that means the loving kindness that you carry in your heart can also be transmitted, and that's the last piece I want to say. If you choose to live in a place loving-kindness. It will emanate out from you and affect those around you. You're not even in the room within ways that you can't understand unless you're doing it right now. And that's a beautiful thing. And as that happens more and more, you move ever faster and closer to that ultimate life.
Key Takeaways:
Running your life from a self-centered point of view, which is the opposite of running it from love, is a recipe for misery. - Kellan Fluckiger
Let's start thinking. How can I bring loving-kindness to that person so that no matter what else happens, they leave the interaction more brightly, feeling more bright, more empowered, more loved, more taking care of. How can I do that? The formula is, think about every situation and conversation ahead of time, so that you can bring and give loving-kindness. - Kellan Fluckiger
Everything that we do in life is a series of relationships. The one that we most often neglect or the two that we most often neglect actually, our relationships with ourselves and our relationship with a spiritual element or God. or heaven or the unseen or whatever you want to call it. - Kellan Fluckiger
