Moving closer

When a rug gets pulled from under us, things fall apart.  This is when we see the entirety of ourselves - in a million pieces.  During these moments, we have a choice - we can either move closer to or move away from ourselves.  I chose to expand the edges and meet myself, as if for the first time.  It is an arduous process, yet a truly rewarding one.  This is a time when we begin to ask all the questions that pertain to our life's purpose and realize that the answer can't be found in an instant.  The answer lies in our moment-to-moment experience.  Pain can have such a transformative power - the choice is always ours.  The journey begins when we come back to ourselves.

We are sent to earth for love, with love, and by love.  When life throws a curveball, we have a tendency to turn to stress, frustration, and sometimes depression.  this can take our love away from us, and if we let it, then we actually become prisoners of ourselves.  Love is to love yourself first, and then the world.
