Grow The Courage to Love

Why do you act as if love is scarce?
As if love isn't the very fabric of reality itself.
How could there ever be a shortage?
Can you learn to give your love away without expecting anything in return?
When you love a small child, do you demand that they earn your affection? Or is the joy found simply in loving them?
When you love a dog or a cat, do you keep score? Do you expect repayment? Or are you fulfilled by caring for them simply because you can?
Can you meet every person this way?
Can you experience a moment without needing more from it?
Can you enjoy what is here as though nothing is missing?
If there is an endless stream of divine love flowing from the Source of Life, why are you so afraid to share it?
It is not something you possess.
It is what you are.
Learn to recklessly give your love away.
The fountain does not run dry by flowing. It is replenished by the very act of giving. And as it pours, the basin widens. Your capacity to love becomes deeper, stronger, and more effortless.
Why must someone earn what already exists within you?
Why must they prove themselves worthy before you allow your heart to open?
I meet people every day and tell them, "I love you."
Not because I know their story.
Not because I expect anything in return.
But because I recognize myself in them.
For one brief moment, I choose to see them through the eyes of a mother instead of through the eyes of judgment.
And in that moment, something changes.
Maybe they smile.
Maybe they soften.
Maybe they remember, if only for a second, that they belong here.
Simple kindness has the power to alter the trajectory of an entire day—and sometimes an entire life.
People treat love as something to hoard, as though giving it away somehow leaves them with less.
But love does not work that way.
Possession is not love.
Control is not love.
Attachment is not love.
Love asks for nothing.
It simply shines.
When you remember that love is not something you have but something you are, your entire perception changes.
There is no game to win.
There is no shortage.
No waiting.
No bargaining.
No fear of loss.
No holding back
You no longer spend your strength avoiding life by merely enduring it.
Now, you surrender into the endless current of Divine experience, allowing love to move through you as freely as light moves through the morning sky.
You stop asking, "Who deserves my love?"
And you begin asking,
"How fully can I embody what I already am?"

Love you,
Aja
