Love makes a difference

by Karen Lang, posted in Making a difference

“It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.”  – Mahatma Gandhi

How can we make a difference in our own life or another’s?  How often do we say “Somebody, should do something about that, only to realise, we are that somebody?

“I am Enough”

by Karen Lang, posted in Discovering your Destiny

“We cultivate love,  when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection, our love can survive these injuries and heal.”   – Brene Brown

I loved this video of Brene Brown because from a deep understanding of self, she is able to help us connect and know that no matter where we are on this journey, no matter how painful or lonely it seems, “We are enough” and we are always “Worthy of love and connection.”

Spaciousness

“Empty out the heaviness that we have collected overtime and allow the spaciousness of love and peace to flow through you.” – Sa Silvano

When I fill up my life with busyness, resentment, anger or pain, I leave no room for spaciousness which allows me to receive the limitless joy and love available.  I have experienced this a lot over the years and I have discovered, the less I accumulate in my mind, the more I allow myself to receive and feel.

Obligation

“If you are living out of a sense of obligation, you are a slave.” – Wayne Dyer

How many times have you said to yourself “But I feel so obligated?” It’s a familiar line to me and one that has definitely caused me to be a slave in some aspects of my life.

My sister called me to share how she is letting go of the obligations that have bound her over the years and it challenged me to find the areas in my life where I feel obligated out of fear.
