What Would Love Do?

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about Receivership.

Why choose to live from Love over Fear?

"Between stimulus and response - there is space.

In that space is our power.

To choose our response.

In our response, lies our growth and our freedom."

Viktor Frankl

When we choose Love, we choose growth, we choose freedom, and we choose to honour the light that's within us. 

If we truly believe we are spiritual beings, having a human experience - we wouldn't choose Fear. Love is the access to connect to our spirit - and allow spirit to guide us.

Our true-self is joy. Our true-self is light. When we live from this place - how can life not be magnificent?!

It doesn't mean that there won't be challenges or pain - it just means that we choose to see that life is working for us. Each challenge and pain is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the powerful energy of Love.

When we experience suffering - we have a choice.

To expand, or contract. 

When we meet Fear, with Fear - the Fear expands.

When we meet Fear, with Love, the Fear dissolves.

Truth is this - people who are hurting, hurt other people. And yes, people can do bad things, and mean things - and we have a choice on how to see it.

Blame, judgement, condemnation keeps us trapped. That's fear meeting fear. What if we choose compassion? Empathy?... What if we could see this circumstance as a reminder to take charge of our mind and take responsibility for the wounds that live within us?

Fear is seeking Love.

Let go of blame. There is no liberation to be found. Freedom is not found in Fear… Only Love Liberates.

 The quality of your life is based on the quality of your questions.

We don't know what we don't know. There are beliefs that live within the shadows of our minds - these beliefs create an invisible cage in which we live in. They can disrupt our relationships, they can hijack our experience of life, and they hold us back from being the master of our fate, and the captain of our soul.

How do we shine a light on these beliefs? How can we bring these beliefs out from the dark shadows? The key is asking powerful questions in the moments that we are tested. 

Our capacity to be accepting, forgiving, and learn from our mistakes impacts our courage - our courage to love, our courage to take risks, our courage to expand, our courage to live authentically.

When we are at our worst - that is when we need to feel loved the most. If our partner or child is at their worst - it is in these moments that they need to feel loved the most.

Do we show up with love or is our love conditional? 

In this episode - I reflect on 2018 and share with you my year in review and some of the reflection questions I would ask myself.
