But it still takes Courage...

Each morning, I get an Esther Hicks quote sent to my inbox. Admittedly, much of it is a bit over my head – but some of it really resonates. And today was one of those day. The quote, in part, read as follows:

"Being in love is so good for you. Often when people are newly in love, things that have been bothering them for a long time get better. Something wonderful is calling the majority of their attention."

There are a lot of things that are good for you. Like eating your veggies, flossing and wearing your seat belt. But love certainly trumps them all. To be in love is to fill your heart with the best stuff the universe has to offer. And that can only do wonderful things for you and your life.

What you’ll put your attention on is always your choice. You can spend countless hours bemoaning this or that, expressing regret or cultivating spite. You can be a person that brings others down through your words, actions or energy. Or, you can make the choice to put your attention on something more much more deserving. And you can become that ray of sunshine that brightens up the world by your very presence. When we’re in love, it’s a whole lot easier to do that.

So please, fall in love. If not with another person, fall in love with yourself and the world around you. The world needs more sunshine.
