Love as a Path of Awakening

Sometimes things fall apart because something new is seeking expression. The truth of our being is eternal, but we do fall off the rails sometimes. We fall into the trap of looking outside ourselves for happiness, for God, or for someone to change the world. It is not outside us; it is within. We create happiness within. God is within. And only within will we find the power to change the world. Our thought is creative, but in our ignorance, we use it destructively. Do we consider the existence of evil, or is it simply the misuse of good? Love overcomes both hate and fear. Celebration of life is in youth, to be undaunted by the challenges of life, to live in the wonder and the joy. We are as young as our faith and as old as our doubt, as young as our confidence and as old as our fear, as young as our hopes and as old as our despair. The challenge is to be true to ourselves. Stop trying to be somebody else. Be you. Don't change so others like you. Be your true self, so the right ones will celebrate the true you. Love yourself as a divine expression of love.
