Love is a choice

I am grateful for my life. It may not be perfect, however today is a great day, as any day, to feel so blessed. It’s not because of anything grand.  I didn’t win Lotto and I don’t own a Lamborghini. I don’t have a bank account to draw upon to fly around the world, and my life circumstances are not always smooth.

However my life is everything it needs to be in this moment. I have love, love in my heart so that I can see my world through eyes of possibility and abundance.  I see life before me blooming, breathing, in all its magnificence. I love every person that comes into my life, as each soul offers a gift of their unique and beautiful self. Not perfection - but their authenticity, their experiences and their learnings.

It has been through the pain of my own self-induced suffering that I now see what an utter waste of my life it is to live that way.  We can choose to see the world and ourself through eyes of judgment, cynicism and fear, which conditions us to only see failure and lack. Or, we can choose to see life through eyes of love, possibility and gratitude. Either way, it’s a choice.

It’s not about having rose-tinted glasses. It’s about seeing life as a gift. Every moment, pleasant or not, expected or unexpected, is a gift. I choose the gift of love, because no matter my circumstances, love will gift me with greater wisdom, opportunities to grow, and even more love than I can imagine.

Love starts with me, and it is a gift I can give myself any day. 

What about you? Are you ready to let go of misery and see life differently?
Are you ready to choose love?
