In the long road in my life from being a child feeling disconnected to the world, to now, spending much time free falling in happiness, I realize that there is so much to be happy about, and so much of this has to do with opening to love.
I have a few sayings, as you know, "What you look for you will find", "What you focus on expands", and "We create our own reality."
We have so many opportunities throughout every day to choose our attitude, and to really closely examine what our minds/inner child/whatever part of us it may be do to us. Even in the relationship I am in, I would find my mind going one way, which was not the direction my heart and intuition was going. Upon examination, I would find remnants of beliefs from childhood or prior relationships seeping into the current one. With my children, I used to get down on myself because of my beliefs and expectations I thought I was not fulfilling, until I examined the root of those, so that I could clear that out to make more time and space to open to love, and be easier on myself thus creating an atmosphere and energy of more peace for my children.
Our lives present so many opportunities to open to love, to choose between love and fear, between being tethered to the ground or to a prior belief to cutting that cord with fearlessness and flying without knowing what is coming next.
In that space, we must rely on faith in ourselves, in faith in that in the long run, nothing really matters or is real. We spend a blink of an eye on a planet speeding through the universe. If we pull back and look at the Earth, we are an invisible speck on the planet from that distance, and what dramas or beliefs or remnants from the past, or part in our current plays are we involved in? Or, are we willing to let go, and start from a point of love, from a point of opening our hearts and just willing to BE, to enjoy the sun, the breeze, the water, and just BE here NOW (as my friend would encourage me to do years ago), just be here now, not in the past, not in the future, not in fear, not in the drama, but stop. Stop and clear the mind, the chit chat, and know that in that moment, when you clear and stop, that is ALL there is. Nothing more. It is so easy. There is nothing more than that exact moment. If that feels ok, take that moment and extend it. Really, there is nothing more. All else is up to you - you create your own reality. You can extend that moment of love and peace, or you can get back into the illusion, the drama, the stress, the deadlines, with seriousness, or you can get back into that to some degree if you are in the mainstream like most of us, but knowing that you are creating or staying in the reality you are in.
Open to love. Pull back from your life and look at the whole thing from a distance. I am sure you are doing great. We all have so much love and we are trying to find ways to express it, whether it seems like it or not. If I can encourage you in any way, or assist you in seeing the maya/illusion you are tethered to that is holding you back from freedom, love, or peace, please contact me. The feeling of free falling in faith and pleasure is, to me, so preferable to being tied to something that is surface level and not rooted in love. xo
