Let go Love has You

… Be your own Shaman.

Dive Deep into your Heart.

Swim in your shadow.

Be willing to sit in the discomfort.

Embrace the Joy and Grace.

Step out of your comfort zone ,

again and again and again.

Recognize your projections

and be responsible for you.

Choose to wake up,

even when it doesn’t feel good,

even when it’s hard,

even when it’s absolute and utter bliss.

Let your mind be shaken and rattled out of the box you’ve believed for so long.

Let it be ok to Let Go.

Let go of right/wrong, black/white, me/them.

Look squarely at your own Reflection

and Choose to see

the Truth about yourself,

no matter how Beautiful it is.

The school of life

The emotionally intelligent person knows that love is a skill, not a feeling, and will require trust, vulnerability, generosity, humor, sexual understanding, and selective resignation. The emotionally intelligent person awards themselves the time to determine what gives their working life meaning and has the confidence and tenacity to try to find an accommodation between their inner priorities and the demands of the world. The emotionally intelligent person knows how to hope and be grateful, while remaining steadfast before the essentially tragic structure of existence. The emotionally intelligent person knows that they will only ever be mentally healthy in a few areas and at certain moments, but is committed to fathoming their inadequacies and warning others of them in good time, with apology and charm… There are few catastrophes, in our own lives or in those of nations, that do not ultimately have their origins in emotional ignorance. ~Alain de Botton

Love not Lost

Nothing you love is lost.

Not really.

Things, people , they always go away, sooner or later.

You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight.

But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours.

The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart ..

Inspiring Love

“How can you love without pain?” she asked.

“Love, my dear, is not about ownership, but appreciation.

The secret of love may be found in this rose.
To love the rose
is not to possess it or to pluck it
but to savour its beauty
and witness its magnificence
and in the process,
to be made more beautiful.

This is how you may love even when the one you love is not near you, even when the one you love is no longer with you and even when the one you love knows not of you. Because love is not found outside of you, but is found within you, for it is a way of seeing and engaging with the world.

To love
is to be inspired
and to be transformed for the better.

And so there is no pain in loving, because to love is not to lose anything, but to gain everything.”

Note to the masculine – Cody Bret

This generation doesn’t understand.

Most men in this generation doesn’t understand its not about giving her the world, but it’s actually about making her feel like she’s a priority in yours.

It’s about surprising her with a sweet text throughout the day to remind her you’re thinking about her.

It’s about coming home from work and asking about her day because you genuinely care about the answer.

It’s about going to the refrigerator to get yourself a drink, and you get her one without even asking.

It’s about driving down a backroad and you pull off to the side to pick her some beautiful wild flowers.

It’s about cuddling on the couch in sweatpants and binge watching your favorite show on Netflix together.

It’s about taking her to her favorite restaurant unannounced.

It’s about slow dancing with her in the rain to a song that was written by George Strait.

It’s about calling her randomly and asking how she is doing because you care about her mental health.

It’s about laying her favorite dress on the bed with a note that says “put this on and be ready by 7pm”.

It’s about knowing the smallest details about her, like the way she likes her coffee in the morning, or her favorite smell, or what movies make her cry.

It’s about going to a local ice cream parlor on a Saturday afternoon to talk about your life goals together over a couple hot fudge sundaes.

Take my advice and remember…… it doesn’t always have to cost much money, it just needs to catch her off guard.
