Daily Inspirational Quote August 19 2014
“As an intrepid traveler on the path to love, you open yourself
to whatever comes your way — hurt, fear, neediness, joy, bliss —
invite it in, observe it, make friends with it, and let it pass.
If you seek only refuge, security, and comfort, you imprison your
relationship and the vitality will wane. The commitment to staying awake
will free you from holding back and allow you to feel the roar, purr,
glow and breath of spirit rippling through you, sensuous and alive.
- Charlotte Kasl, Ph.D.
Some time ago I was speaking with a wonderful group of women. Most were unfulfilled in love: they’d either never met “the one,” or they were bored and dissatisfied with their relationships. A couple of them, however, had clearly found happiness and fulfillment, and so I paid particular attention to their stories. It became clear that those who were unhappy and unfulfilled had been looking for something “perfect” — a relationship with no fighting, frustration or irritation. Those who were happy and still in love with their partners admitted freely that their men drive them crazy a good amount of the time, but since their relationships are alive and full of passion, they’re worth it. To be blessed with all love has to offer, we must be willing to endlessly work our way through all the challenges it brings.
