So LOVE.
We can (and do) spend a lot of time navigating around fear. Walking around in an attempt to avoid imaginary ‘bumps in the road’, jumping almost randomly through high-up hoops to bypass fictional pitfalls, and staying stock-still for fear that if we move even an inch in to the unknown, that we may somehow just crumble.
We can (and do) spend a lot of time being dictated to by fear … Pulled this way and that, bumped from this pillar to that post, and all too often tucking ourselves away in the blind hope that ‘The Fear‘ won’t find us ……… This is a choice. One choice.
We are so very ‘good‘ at navigating around fear, that we forget that this is simply an over-familiar habitual choice … We are so very ‘good‘ at navigating around fear, that we forget to choose again, and re-familiarise ourselves IN LOVE.
We can CHOOSE to no longer be ‘entertained‘ by the imagined fears. We can CHOOSE to no longer fall asleep to the dictates of fear. And we can CHOOSE, to PAUSE, and with a willing openness, ask ::
HOW CAN I LOVE MORE IN THIS MOMENT?
When circumstances become apparently sticky and challenging. When relationships ‘push our buttons‘, or ‘test our boundaries‘. When things appear to conspire around us, stopping us quite literally in our tracks … Our task, is not to run around in circles again at the dictates of fear. Our task, is not to blame another, creating more story. Our task, quite simply, is to PAUSE and LOVE.
So allow it to be simple : :
How can I love more in this moment?
How can I see more love in this moment?
How can I be more love in this moment?
And …
How can I love myself more in this moment?
See beyond the apparent circumstances, beyond the seeming challenges, beyond the surface stories, and LOVE. Whatever seems to be going on right now, see beyond, and LOVE. Beyond the details, beyond the thoughts, beyond the knee-jerk reactions …
PAUSE and see the love that is ALWAYS present. Always was, always IS, and always will be.
May you LOVE yourself more in this moment, and may you re-familiarise yourself IN LOVE as you recognise its forever presence.
