When we pin our hope of happiness on others we set ourselves up for disappointment and miss the opportunity to do our own inner work and find within ourselves enough reasons to celebrate who we are and enjoy that.

Happiness is a temporary experiences linked to external events, while joy flows from within on the basis of how we are being with ourselves.

When we have gotten used to what is out there that makes us happy, we often don't want that to change, so we experience a roller coaster of experience that includes anger, disappointment and a sense of loss.

The key is to become aware of what we are experiencing and why and remind ourselves that despite the external events no longer meeting our expectations, we are still okay inside.

We are to hold events we enjoy lightly and not get attached to it staying the same always for us to be okay, but recognising that things have changed. Other things can be just as enjoyable.

What are you pinning your hope of happiness on?

When we go in search of more when we thing who we are is not enough, we end up feeling like less of who we are. The harder we chase more, the less we feel. It is like a roundabout with no exit. Until we discover there is no more to chase, it is all already here, then we can exit the unhelpful cycle and experience more contentment and fulfilment.

Feeling that more is required for us to feel good about ourselves can lead to us discounting what we have already and make us feel less. If we are able to change perspective and reflect on what we have, then gratitude become a more natural response that allows us to experience who we already are with joy.

What is now, is often what serves us best until it isn't, at which point we have the grace to be with what comes next. We are equipped to deal with what is , until more is drawn out of us and we step into another phase of life.

Contentment at every stage focuses us on enjoying what is here now and not lost in story about what used to or could be. The latter leads to a sub-optimal experience of our current experience.

Love is permission to embrace who you already are permit you superpower (your flavour of love manifested) to be more expressed and not lessen it, in a bid for more acceptance. Not to make yourself wrong for being more you because it raises discomfort in others.

We are all VIPs. We are People of Value, our Identity is love and our Purpose is to manifest love in our own unique way.

What opportunities to experience love are you missing?

There are no boundaries to love.

Love is the foundation that makes you safe to hold power and not do harm with it. If you try and use power to validate the notion that you are enough, you are prone to abuse it. 

Love is everywhere and in everything, but not necessarily experienced as such by everyone. When love is who we are being, we stop trying to reach for it in our doing, but rather our actions become a natural outflow of being love. This is the context for unconditional love. 

Why do we pedestal others for worship if we are all manifestations of the same love? 

Success is who we already are, manifest as love and not any stories about future events or experiences that we seek before we give ourselves the permission to manifest the love that we already are. 

There is nothing I can do to be more loved by the divine than I am now. The invitation is to celebrate and enjoy who I am already in Him. 

What have you done to get more love?

Love is heaven here on earth. The place of complete acceptance.  

Return to our birthplace, where there is no shame through the inner work that strips away the stories about what should be and what would be needed for us to be what we already are, if only we look through the eyes of love. 

You don't get any deeper than love. When we touch on love in its purest form, it touches our very depths and beyond the realm of pretence into the truth of who we are at our core. 

The divine expressed love in all our different forms, taking our own journeys which, once in a while, intersect to create experiences for us to enjoy. 

Love is experiencing itself in us all. Love is wise, regardless of age. Wisdom flows to where it is needed as long as there is humility to receive it.   

How do you feel when you know you are Love?

Love is universally accepted as the one thing we owe each other by most world religions.

We are the first portal of love, we can't control how we are loved but we can decide to love.

The portrayal of 'romantic' love creates the narrative that only the 'true' love of another can make us complete, selling the notion that we do not already possess the love we need. When we abdicate love to others, we put pressure on them to deliver to us that which we have failed to give ourselves.

If you don't love yourself, you can frustrate others' efforts to do so by discounting it through a sense of unworthiness.

Enjoying and loving who you are here on earth and sharing it with others is an expression of love that is open to everyone, and the significance of this cannot be discounted.

There is a lasting impact when you encounter love that accepts you for who you already are, communicating that you are seen and heard. Love says that you are enough.

Love does not require you to do a daring deed of extraordinary significance. Instead, it recognises the significance of the fact that you are already here. We are living proof of love, the proof that love exists. Love is the essence of the stuff we are made of.

Love can show up in many forms; there is no one monolith. Sometimes if feels like an unpleasant prod that invites you to take a deeper look within and create an opportunity to heal things you have previously avoided.

How does it feel when you experience unconditional love?
