Love is the Only Side We're Taking

Will you take a slow, deep breath with me?

Let your shoulders drop, your body soften,

and your heart open to receive these words. 🌿

With all the division happening in our world today,

have you noticed yourself taking sides?

I want to offer another option

and invite us all to root ourselves in compassion,

no matter how hard the world is trying to divide us.

Because at the heart of it all,

there are no good people or bad people,

there is no right or wrong side to take.

And somewhere in your soul, you know that to be true.

We are all human beings —

some walking through the world with deep, unhealed wounds,

others in the process of healing at various stages —

and all of us shift along that spectrum throughout our lives.

I've noticed that the more I practice Self-Love,

the more I’ve learned to meet myself with compassion,

the more I understand the roots of my own trauma-shaped wrongdoings.

And in this space of deep Self-Love,

it's become instinctive for me to extend compassion to others,

even when their actions are painful or destructive.

I can share my opinions and beliefs respectfully,

without pointing fingers or condemning others.

Because there's unseen truths and wounded souls on all sides.

Please don’t misunderstand me…

We never condone behaviors that harm anyone in any way.

And if you find yourself in a toxic or unsafe situation,

I encourage you to remove yourself — no one deserves mistreatment.

But hate and blame only deepen the division between us,

and division makes us easier to control.

This lesson for humanity will continue to circle back around until we learn it.

It’s time to choose a different way…

✨ Love opens the doorway to compassion ~ for ourselves, and for one another.

Imagine being so rooted in the love for yourself,

that you approach those who think, believe, speak, or behave differently

with curiosity, empathy, understanding, and compassion.

We know that hurt people, hurt people.

But it’s equally just as true that

free people, free people.

True freedom cannot be given or taken away by anything or anyone external.

Real freedom comes from being so centered and connected to your own heart,

to your own soul,

that you carry a deep sense of trust within yourself.

When you move from this space of safety and security within,

no matter what’s happening in the world around you,

then you're naturally more curious and open with those who differ from you,

and you naturally create loving ripples for those you interact with.

What would our world be like if we chose to show up this way ~

in love, compassion, and understanding for our shared humanness?

Let’s lead a quiet Revolution of returning to Love as the only option.

 “Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” ~ Pema Chödrön

💕 Let’s close our eyes, place a hand on our hearts,

take an intentional deep breath,

and say these words together:

“I am free when I am rooted in love.

We are free when we are rooted in love.”

Now let that truth ripple through your body... it will soften and strengthen you.
