Fear or Love, Survive or Thrive...

Fear or Love, Survive or Thrive… 

I sat down to write this post not sure what it was going to be about.  I knew fear was the theme but how would I couple it, with love or vulnerability? Then I read the below Facebook post by my dear friend and Spiritual Advisor of nine years, Marla Frees and found my answer.  She wrote out the thoughts I’d been thinking so beautifully, why create more work for myself and not just share her beautiful writing and wisdom?  Enjoy!  

Life when really lived...changes.

If you are living your life invested in love you are growing, learning, moving, morphing...the essence of transforming. 

If you are living your life out of fear, you are in a loop of reaction, retaliation, denial and suffering.

We all are faced with illness sometime in our life. 

We lose the ones we love.

Our lives do not go the way we want. 

What can we do to make sure we survive the upsets and losses?

Face it all, like it is the very best gift that the Universe has given you. 

The expectations we have are silly ways our egos need to make us feel better but those expectations very well may not be the best FOR us.

There is gold in the deepest of pain. There is light in the loss of love.

We must cry and grieve, dig in and fight the greatest of fights and rest in the arms of our creator. 

May we be brave enough to accept that today we have the opportunity to live, love and find joy.

May we not just survive...but THRIVE.
