Remember the Promise

Once we find acceptance to our pain, develop a commitment to stand with our pain and suffering, we find our voice. There is an emotional openness — we are going to feel what there is to be felt, even when it’s hard to do so.

When we are capable of looking at our thoughts, connections, and seeing something of importance, we will be better prepared to look and steer ourselves towards these. We present this gift in love and self-compassion as we walk through the trials of the life we chose, the life we were born into, and the new life we create.

We hurt where we care and we care where we hurt.

To this end, we then can feel and participate fully in life. The powerful concept is known as Psychological Flexibility. Our participation builds on what the seed is, what the seed is within us; it is Love.

When you stand with yourself, in a self-compassionate kind of way, life opens up as we know it, and then you can turn towards true meaning and purpose. Someone planted the seed of love in us at some point, whether we believe in a Higher Power or some other source. Once we focus on the seed, it begins to sprout, fully growing as we water it with kindness.

Now the words and the promise, shall be the promise you are to hold dear:

Never again will I push you (me) away from our (my) purpose, I want you here, I need you here. You soften me.

When we bring Love to our self, we bring Love to the world. The beauty is in the deeply spiritual part of us. We are able to direct our attention with flexibility and fluidity on what we focus upon. By all measures, we find love and becoming the love we are, for ourselves and for the world around us. Creating an energy of empathy and building the wall of compassion around the center of the world in which we engage.

Our participation builds on what the seed is, what the seed is within us; it is Love.

We build the world of love within and without while we consistently seek to find the places inside where we need the healing touch of love. The promise we remember is the promise of hope, of love, of engendered kindness to the self and to the world.

Only you can find your inner love, and yet, you can reach outside of you to see how others have gathered love. They have shown love in places, in sayings, and in heartfelt actions. When we see the love so shown, we then can shine a light on the inside, locating our lost love. Our psychological flexibility will be felt, seen, and remembered.

We hurt where we care and we care where we hurt.
