For a while I've been
using "Love and Success" as one of my mantras, but, for me, it feels
a little heavy. I don't know why. Maybe love for me has a dark side with often
pain associated. Oh, I know we're supposed to love one another, and everything
and all that, but love also has to do with relationships that are sometimes not
so good. Sometimes those bad experiences can have lasting effects.
Hmmm, maybe the word
"love" is connected to "supposed to." And it shouldn't. Can
I explore this avenue without it dragging me into a hole.
Guess there's some old stuff lingering here ... but that's OK for the moment. I can let it go. And perhaps, for me, it's accepting that's how I feel and not trying to figure it out or feel guilty that I might offend anyone by saying this.
It's not that I don't
love. I love lots ... maybe it's just the perceived attached strings that come
with loving somebody. Maybe it's about a price I've stopped willing to pay due
to “failed” past relationships. Hmmm,
interesting. The topic can go in so many directions. There are, after all, many
forms of love. Anyway, moving on ...
So, in striving to live whole-heartedly, I realize I feel much better when I say, "Light and Love" or "Light and Success!" The word "Light" makes me feel lighter and brighter, and in these instances, the words are in caps because this light is a God-Light. It comes from the Universe, the Great Creator, Great Spirit, the Beloved. This Light is greater than any of us, yet it is also part of us, when we open up to acknowledge it. And in saying this, I realize that it is love.
