Love is the Key to Realizing Your Dreams
Hello, Dear Reader,
Last week, I shared my dreams with you and some of my clients' dreams for their lives. (If you missed it, you can catch up and read it here: https://bit.ly/dreamsandthelifeyouwant.)
In that message, I wrote about the persistent, unwanted thoughts about ourselves, others, the world, or our current situation—that can hold us back from realizing our dreams.
Today, I want to talk about how LOVE is the medicine.
That may sound strange. "What does LOVE have to do with realizing a dream?" you might ask.
Well, LOVE is a shortcut to reconnecting with your true self—who you are beneath all the noise. Your life's dreams unfold much more effortlessly when you act from that place.
Let’s dive in …
I was recently on a weekly call with the Homa Bay Friendship Orphanage in Kenya. Harry Derbitsky, one of my coachees, Martha Moraa, and her Grandfather were there.
Martha's Grandfather, Nashon Aluoch, is 80 and a few years old and a church bishop. He’s among the kindest, most caring people you’ll ever meet. When it was his turn to speak, he shared that LOVE is the answer—the simple answer to life.
I’d have difficulty paraphrasing, let alone repeating, what he said, but it left me with a profoundly transformative feeling. I felt the Truth of love deep in my soul—the truth that LOVE is the answer to all problems and difficulties and to realizing one's life's dream.
As Bishop Aluoch spoke, I reflected on all my relationships and how they thrive when I come from LOVE.
I thought about my coaching business and my cherished work in Africa and how both thrive when I approach them with LOVE.
I also thought about my physical body and how vital it is to love myself in my journey to restore or maintain my health.
Every possible outcome looks brighter when it comes from the LOVE within us.
But, of course, we’re human.
We sometimes disconnect from LOVE. We get caught up in the compelling stories that our personal minds create. We get bogged down in repetitive, negative thinking.
(Yes, even I do this!)
In those moments, we end up sharing our problems—with ourselves and others. Let that sink in: we share our problems, not our love.
The result? A drop in our consciousness. We become sadder, more fearful, and less clear-minded. Or, as Harry would say, “We become stupid.” It’s harsh but true.
No wonder our dreams get derailed for a while. When we're trapped inside our own minds, with no distance from our thoughts, what else can happen?
But remember, LOVE is the medicine. There is hope!!
All you need to see is that sharing LOVE with yourself and others is the answer. Even though our intellectual mind may try to complicate things, it's that simple. Let that sink in.
Whatever you desire—a smoother transition to a new country, a fresh wave of clients for your practice, more moments of living with a quiet mind, employees aligning more with your goals and less with what you don't want—LOVE is the answer.
LOVE, also called WISDOM, or the ENERGY of all LIFE (It’s all the same vibe!)—I’m pointing you, and often myself, to who you are beyond your thinking and to the place before FORM.
LOVE is a kind of metaphor for that, but it’s also a very practical way of returning to your true self. It’s a shortcut.
Let’s experiment together …
Please focus on whatever it is you're dreaming about.
You may want to feel happier in your marriage. Perhaps you’re seeking your purpose or simply trying to get through the first 100 days of a new job.
Maybe you've lost a sense of lightness in your life and want to reclaim it—to feel secure and relaxed in your skin and the world, no matter how chaotic it all may seem.
Whatever it is, let your thoughts be what they are. There is no point in trying to shift or change them; let them be so they can naturally move through you.
Start sharing LOVE with yourself and others. Trust the LOVE in your heart. When you release it without thinking, it grows.
Trust that the energy is expanding. Observe as your Spirit comes alive to support you. Watch your dream start to unfold!!
Maybe what you’ve read so far has sparked something in you. I genuinely hope so. Perhaps it was the perfect reminder you needed—and you’re all set.
Congrats!! If that’s the case, I’m so happy for you!
But if you’d like some support …
If you're ready to reconnect with the LOVE and Spirit within you and use it as the powerful force to bring your dreams into reality, I’d love to help.
