Loving people is easy when they're doing everything exactly the way we want them to. But how do we respond when people disappoint us, hurt us, or just when life doesn't go the way we thought it would? This episode tackles those tough questions and paves a path for us to find peace as we seek to love the people around us.

"When we quiet the fear, insecurity, and blame—which is a natural part of our human experience—what is leftover is love. Love is us at our most pure state."

Top Takeaways from this episode!

• Our lovability doesn't change! We can't become more or less worthy of love. We are all children of heavenly parents and that can't be changed.
• We have a divine ability to create love. Our thoughts create our emotions, we get to choose! We don't have to be dependent on other's actions to give us permission to feel the way we want to feel.
• When we pretend to be something we are not in order to be loved, or ask others to do the same, we are only able to make surface-level connections. Deeper connections and healthy relationships are born from authenticity.
• Choosing love creates a better experience for us AND others.
• When we are in a place of love we are our most true selves. We feel expansive and are more open to inspiration!

Something to think about: When thinking about a difficult situation you are navigating right now, try asking –"What if nothing is wrong here? What if everything is as it should be?" What new feelings and ideas come up?

Small and simple challenge: One time this week when you are out in public notice someone who is struggling and write a compassionate story about them in your head. Find a new path to love!
