For years, I thought Life was trying to teach me lessons. That my experiences, especially the painful ones, were things that happened to try and get me to grow, to evolve. And then I realized, Life, in its purest form, just wanted to love me. Sometimes I would see shadow parts reflected back to me, but it wasn’t to teach me… it was just to show me where I blocked love from myself.
I’ve invested hours upon hours of my time trying to learn more, trying to heal, while still hiding behind stories of lack and limitation. Again and again, the only thing my soul ever had to say to me was “Love yourself more.”
All the times I’ve cried looking at my dog or found myself in a state of awe at an alpine lake, I was simply being reminded of who I really am. Love.
The only great lesson, the only true purpose, is to love. To remember you are Love. That we are all love. Everything else is just an illusion, a dream that will eventually fade, and all your blocks to love proven unsubstantial to the truth of what already lies within you.
This is the lesson of life. The answer to your problems. The secret to remember who you are. Love.
