Love takes the prize

Love wins it all. It is the sole consistency throughout life. The external environment comes as it is — full of challenges, hardship and struggle, sometimes arriving with no reason.

Over time, the ease of giving into struggle is more tiring than the struggle itself. I have learned to hold strength in the depths of my struggle, to not question the reason, for it is as it comes. As I constantly tell myself: always remember you are beyond the experience — ignited by the love you have within.

To grasp opportunity from the environment, and continue to create a new reality for self, despite the experience, is easier said than done.

So how do we move through the hardest of days?

When the pain is down to the bone, the fog is thicker than the stoner’s daze, and the longing for a reason why is all the mind keeps pulling you to.

Love. That is what I hold onto.

Love for myself, love for this life I get to wake up to each day, and love for the impermanence that is life — because this too shall pass.

In the depths of the low there is still love. It never fades. It is a catalyst for us to remember to keep on pursuing self transformation.

On the days when I do not feel like myself, when my body feels like a stranger, when my strength has vanished, and when my only want is to sit within myself forever. I accept, remain unseen, and enjoy being so.

As I sit, love always come through.

I used to push it away. I ignored the truth of it. This led me to thick moments of pain — lasting days…moments…sometimes a year.

Now I don’t push it away. Now I welcome the love no matter my physical state.

Because even the slightest amount of light breaking through the storm within my mind leaves me feeling more energized — more awake. All I have to do is surrender my ego, the part of me that wants the easier route of wallowing. Then I allow all the energy to pour through because our bodies are portals to the truth, yet they are not the creators of our reality. The spirit within is what creates.

So when I sit, it is in the cushion of my mind. It rains — pours down with confusion — I still stay. Because this is my experience, and we are meant to accept our own as it comes. I circle back to the excitement of the love which is destined to tap through — the light which is bound to shine through the door of my eye and into the cushion of my mind.

Eventually the light breaks through the clouds, and I am laying in the warm sand, under the beaming rays. I remember what life is — I remember who I am. The passion for life. The love for others. The dreams to make real change. I keep on with the darkness, knowing there is nothing to fear because the light is always there.

We are limitless beings. Despite the body, environment, or state of mind, there is always room for change. To evolve is part of being human, and it is nothing to fear — even in the hardest of situations. Expand yourself past external limitations and live in the true frequency of abundance. We are all able to overcome current limits, for the truth is we are limitless. The potential is within us. It is part of the experience.

The light is always there, and love always wins.

With love and light,
