“Love is the will to extend one’s self for the purpose of nurturing one’s own or another’s spiritual growth… Love is as love does. Love is an act of will — namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love.”
~M. Scott Peck~
Know thyself. This is the foundation of enlightenment. With so many lost in the grip of ego – both personal and collective – those who are awakened must define their journey in a way that is unique, authentic, compassionate, and empowered. We often find ourselves standing on the outside and that is an important aspect of the old soul experience.
When you know who you are and are deeply aligned with your purpose, nothing can sway you from it. Life then becomes an interesting place filled with opportunities to expand, teach, and live by example. When you show others the way through your breadth of thinking, you demonstrate an enlightened, unique way of being.
It’s very possible to live your truth while honoring each path as sacred. Tend to your own state of consciousness, step into Presence, and choose to be a source of light in the world.
