How to Stop Running in Circles and Live From the Heart

When it comes to heartbreak, conflict, and isolation, I’ve realized there is usually one root cause: disconnection from love.

It is truly the answer to every single question.

We overcomplicate life and we overcomplicate the situations presented to us.

Why doesn’t this person see things MY way?

Why am I not getting what I want?

Why doesn’t the world revolve around my needs?

When we are growing up, we think of life in terms of what we can GET. We want to bend reality to our will and we want to get what we want WHEN we want it.

But as we grow older, we come to realize the fundamental truth that what we all REALLY want is LOVE. Love is the basic desire behind every other desire.

We realize how our obsession with achievement and external manifestation was toxic and misguided. We realize that we are not as far from our goal as we think. And most importantly, we realize that EVERY SINGLE SITUATION is an opportunity to bring us closer to love.

When we meet life with maturity, humility, and grace, the blessings and medicine in all of life’s situations can be revealed.

The beauty about God and this world is that we will always be presented with one of two things:

1. Love

2. An opportunity to unblock our access to love

When we remember that our true purpose here is to become love and give and receive love, everything in life becomes simple.

Lots of people spend years “searching” for their purpose, but if they only knew how simple it was, they would save themselves years of heartache, self-shaming, and feeling lost.

It always comes back to love. Every time we are lost, all we have to do is ask ourselves: “How is this situation guiding me deeper into love?”

Keep loving,
