Right now, the world is as far away from peace as its been for a long time. It’s like we’ve gone back in time; only, today we don’t have artists like Jimi Hendrix or The Beatles that make it worth it. I don’t think there is a more relevant or poignant quote that illustrates what is happening in this country today because we have power-hungry individuals leading us. However, what we may not see is that love of power stems from a place of fear and disconnection. This is not a political post, rather one inspired by the wisdom of the revolutionaries that came before us.
Our lives and our world thrive on connection and love; we need it. Jimi Hendrix was a genius, as were The Beatles, dedicating an entire song to the power of love. However, connection is freaking scary because it requires vulnerability and risk-taking with another human being. It may be seen as easier to love power than another person.
However, without connection and the power of love in our lives, what are we left with?
As an emotionally focused therapist, I guide my clients to a place where being vulnerable is a risk they’re willing to take. I guide them to a place where choosing love every single day is a risk they’re willing to take because it IS worth it. After all, love is all you need.
