Give love. Get love.

When I saw this on my tea tag, I thought...  what a great saying since it was Valentine's day...  but I also thought, it is so much more than Valentine's Day, it is so much more than simply a day, or even a month...  it goes far deeper than that.   So I held off posting until today,  March 1st.   Let's call it a great Spring post.  A great way to begin a new Season!!   A season of change.  With Spring comes new beginnings. 
We've all heard of The Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. I have posted on this before.  Something I believe very strongly in.  With that said, I had a discussion with friends the other day that involved the controversy on whether or not you could create your own destiny.  There were some who thought that yes we are in charge of our own reality and then others thought that everything was based on fate and everything is already scheduled in your life to happen one way, no choice - no change. 

Interestingly enough there are people who still feel there is no option to change the path you are on.  Dare I be so bold to tell you that life is full of choices.  We make choices everyday.  We make a choice to get up in the morning, eat breakfast, go to the office, work at a job. We make a choice to go out for dinner with friends or family. We make a choice not to.  We make a choice to drive safely, go home, maybe watch a little TV, play with the kids and then go to bed. The next day could either look the exact same way, or it could look completely different. It is a choice. 

Now sometimes, folks could argue that we have to work a job... We need to get paid...  Of course, however there is a choice on how you choose to live your life, your lifestyle, how much does it cost you to live that said lifestyle?  You can change what you require. If you change what you require, your salary requirements could also change.  You could maybe take on a less stressful job, work part-time, retire early. The possibilities are truly endless, you just need to plan, prepare and decide to make the changes. 

I think that sometimes life goes along its path and I understand that there are bumps and curves in the road and I also believe strongly that things happen exactly the way they are supposed to - good, bad or indifferent, with those bumps and curves; but I also think that there is a malleable part of choice, a section that we can manipulate in order to alter results. I do believe this to be true.  When I first started the article I stated - Give Love. Get love.  This is referring to the 'like attracts like' thought process.  It is indeed that you want to surround yourself with certain things, certain types of people. And it is a choice.  I saw a saying the other day that said if you want to fly release everything in your life that is weighing you down. 

What a great saying.  It is so true, there are so many things in our lives that can weigh us down. These are the things we can choose to not keep so close by.  Some things may be necessary - but just choose not to keep them too close to you as to feel the negative effects.  If we give love, we get love.  If we remain positive, positive finds its way back to us.  Just as if we remain negative, we draw more negative to our every action, our every thought, every cell of our very being.  Every once in a while we need to purge, shed a layer or two, not everything, not everyone, but...  those things, those people that may weigh us down.  Some things, some people will still make their way to the surface again.  Be mindful, be kind, but do not be afraid to cut too much away.  Think of it as an emotional and energetic diet.  We want to feel light, airy, free. Free to do what we want.  Free to do what we've dreamed of.  Free to make the changes to make it so. Give love, get love-  it is indeed a choice - a choice to feel free enough to fly, fly to new heights.  

Enjoy the soar.
