I heard a statement the other day that made me stop in my tracks. I've heard this kind of statement many times before. But for some reason, I felt the impact of it. Here it is:

Let go of everything that doesn't feel like love.

In a world that seems increasingly complicated and entangled; in a world where we're trying so hard to create much needed new laws and policies; in a world where our personal problems seem so intense and intertwined with other people - how simple if we were all able to just...

let go of everything that doesn't feel like love.

In the past, I would spend so much of my time talking about my issues - trying to figure out why someone acted the way they did to me; why I was always feeling stuck; why I always felt insecure and full of self-doubt. I was always trying to get to the bottom of it all. Only to find that there was no bottom to get to.

When all I really had to do was...

Let go of everything that doesn't feel like love.

You may call me naive. And I'm not for once suggesting we don't speak out, disagree or take a stand - we need to do these things.

AND

While we do them, let go of everything that doesn't feel like love.

The truth is simple and powerful.
