What would love ask of you? 

All of us are climbing the same mountain, but we each carry a different cross. 

Working with people who are facing grief or difficulties each day, I realise that no matter who we are, we all face burdens or carry a cross at some point along our journey. 

Each of us respond to our burdens differently, but I believe that we can always ask a simple question that may help us in our pain. 

“What would love ask of you?” 

Sounds simple enough, but when we truly understand love for ourselves first and then others, it can teach us how to respond during these difficult times. 

Love may want us to speak the truth.  Love may want us to slow down and nurture ourselves. Love may want us to have courage to face another day. Love may want us to reach out and receive the support we need. Love may want us to be gentle with ourselves, letting go of our judgement and expectations. Love may want us to accept others unconditionally. Love may want us to accept this moment exactly as it is. 

No matter what love asks of you. Listen. You may find it’s exactly what you need.
