The experience of love is an inner state. When this is present, you are happy, alive, and free. You feel good about yourself and good about life. As you bring the experience of love into your life, life works effortlessly and great things happen.
The opposite of love is fear and upset. When this is present, you lose down inside. You lose your creativity and your ability to see clearly. You get tunnel vision and you interact in a way that almost always makes your situation worse.
Whether you live in a state of love or a state of upset depends, not on your circumstances, but on how you relate to your circumstances. A good way to see this is to look at upsets.
Upsets seem to be caused by what happens but they’re not. Upsets are caused by your fighting and resisting what happens. To see this in your life, select a recent upset, Now notice what would happen if somehow you were at peace with what happened. There would be no upset.
There would be no upset because upsets aren’t caused by what happened. Upsets are caused by fighting and resisting what happened. The moment you take away the fighting and resisting, the upset disappears.
To live the experience of love, and to create a life that works, you need to stop the fighting and resisting. You do this through a process called letting go.
Letting go is the inner action that releases the fear and upset. The moment you let go, everything seems to change. With the fear and upset gone, you see your situation very differently. You become creative and discover solutions that you could never have seen before.
To let go, you need to do the opposite of fighting and resisting. You need to let go of your demands and expectations for how life should be and make peace with the way life is.
Find what you are resisting. Then give it full permission to be there, if you have a fear of losing a relationship, be willing to be it. If you are resisting the way someone is, then give the person full permission to be that way.
