Respond with Love

The New Golden Age Begins with Love

In the New Golden Age, love will be our natural response. While this sounds simple, I've found it to be one of the most challenging things to practice consistently. Yet, with awareness and intention, it is possible.

One tool that’s helped me is imagining that every person I meet is their younger self. For example, if someone cuts in front of me in a long grocery store line, I pause and picture them as a six-year-old child. I then speak—or simply hold the space for them—as if I were addressing that innocent child, with patience and compassion.

Before reacting, I set the intention to respond with love. I open my heart and allow only loving energy to guide my words, actions, and presence.

This simple shift in perspective has a ripple effect. It softens my own state of being and invites those around me into a more peaceful awareness. It’s not always easy, and I’m still learning. But even imperfect efforts can create powerful change.

Here are a few practices that help me stay anchored in love:

• Begin each day by silently sending love to everyone you see with your physical eyes.

• See beauty in everyone you encounter. Imagine their spirit shining through, no matter how they appear on the surface.

• Surrender. Let go of the need to control or fix others. Just be present, open, and kind.

If we want to make the world a better place, the change must begin within ourselves. The more we practice responding with love, the more we contribute to a collective transformation.

It starts with one intention, one breath, one loving response at a time.
