Who do you know has a carefree life?
Probably no one! Everyone has issues, some greater, some lesser. How we deal with them is learned from our parents, our extended families, our neighbors, our communities, our heritage, our religions, and then our own trials and errors or successes teach us how to be in the world.
Yet there is more… a perspective that we come in with, that we are born with.
We either choose to view our life circumstances through the lenses of love or fear. Our perspective is often learned. Fear is the most prominently taught in the school of life.
If we choose Fear:
The glass is half empty. We do not trust. We rarely give of our true selves to others. We attract more fear through our innate vulnerability and anger. We feel less than and act this out by being a victim or an oppressor.
If we choose Love:
The glass is half full. We trust that all will be well. We attract more love, peace, joy, and beauty for we become the embodiment of love.
It’s not that by choosing Love, we feel more than. It’s not in choosing Love that we never experience fear, never have bad stuff happen to us. It’s just that by choosing Love, we receive the gifts of all life events. We recognize our fear and fear in others as the absence of love. We shine the Light of Love into the darkness of fear and find our way through the veil. We rapidly learn our soul lessons, striving to progress, yet grateful for every opportunity — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Life doesn’t hold us down but lifts us up with opportunities to experience love everywhere.
In choosing Love, we know oneness, yet seek the Divine in everything. The Divine is Love. And the Divine is in everything we touch, everything we experience, everything we are. For We are Love.
Love is a choice. To face every situation with eyes of beauty, with the voice of compassion, with ears of empathy, with a heart of love is a choice.
We could choose fear.
The world is chaotic. Life keeps happening. We strive and strive for more fretting over not having enough, not being enough, regretting what was, anxious over what will be.
Fear manifests as worry, anger, disappointment.
Love manifests as hope, joy, acceptance.
It’s simple. Each time we respond to life in fear or in love we train our brains to be in fear or in love.
It’s a choice.
So choose Love.
May you always choose Love
Love and Light,
