Living out of Love

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. 

We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

This quote really resonates with me. Sometimes I struggle with fear, loneliness and sadness... but when I take a step back and live my life with gratitude, the beauty comes through. All the things I absolutely adore about my life, big and small, become impossible to ignore.

What are you grateful for this week? 

Have you experienced the difference between living life out of fear and living it out of love? May this little post be a reminder of the love I have for all of you, readers :)

Namaste!
