How does your relationships play a part in choosing love over fear?
If you’re brave enough, you will tackle your Ego mind through your current primary relationship. I use the word bravery because you have to be willing to look at all that dark stuff we don’t like to admit is in us.
I’m always excited at what a relationship teaches me about myself. It shows me where my limits are, where I am holding back love because of fear. In a relationship, we get to explore our woundedness, and it’s not always pretty! But when we shine light on the darkness, we can shift it. If we pretend it isn’t there, we can’t see it, and therefore, we can’t change it. Ignoring it is basically lying to ourselves and causes us to be out of alignment. It takes courage to hold yourself accountable for your actions.
Even when a relationship ends, there is a lot to look at. The main thing is to look at the part we played and to move away from what they did. It’s important to stay away from fear and to stay with your learning. This may be difficult, but it’s a great tool in helping to learn how to stop listening to the Ego mind.
Every time we choose to stay out of our little girl or Ego mind, we are capable of being with Love. If we are acting out of our little girl or Ego, we can only come from fear, and if we are coming from fear, we block the flow of love. Love can’t come to us or through us, and this is such a shame because all we really want in life is to love and be loved, to be connected to the whole, and to be a part of something greater than oneself.
If I am living in the spiritual realm instead of the physical, it’s easy to give and receive love. If my Ego mind is hard at it, I am full of fear. And if fear is present, love isn’t. So it is my daily practice to always observe where fear is present in me so I can shift it to love.
Utilize your current situation, whether you are in a relationship or not, to look at your limits around love and how you are acting out of your Ego.
