Our planet is embroiled in the throes of Large Change. The Oxford dictionary definition for throes is this: "Intense struggle, especially accompanying birth, death, or great change." Wow, all of those circumstances apply to our current situation! We are all present and moving together with this change.
In the midst of this we always have a choice: Love or Fear? It's hard to believe that everything really breaks down to this simple and basic choice. For me, I know that the decisions of my life have been guided by the quality and quantity of energy I am expending. Does this particular endeavor give me energy or does it drain my energy? My choice for Love has come from that consideration.
Early in my life I had no awareness of this choice. I allowed much of my life force energy to be drained out of me by situations that didn't really align with who I was. Over time I have learned that my life improves -- situations get better -- if I make choices for the things that I am energized by, not the things that will ultimately empty my fuel tank. These are the choices that show me that I am on my path of purpose. In addition, by making these choices to maintain my energy I am gifting myself, my life, and my involvements with more Love and positive feelings. My choice for Love has been made in my lifetime through a thousand different decisions about energy expenditures. Even though I may feel fear, I have come to know that choosing in favor of my best energy will bring me Love and satisfaction on my life path. Fear easily falls away.
As we all continue to make our way through this transformative time we can stand in our own strength and make choices that will contribute toward bringing more Love into the world. I wish you joy and well-being as you move through your life choices and changes.
"Every day we're given a choice: we can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it. If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us... if we resist the river, we will feel rankled and tired as we tread water, stuck in the same place."
