What happens with disappointment?




There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
--Martin Luther King Jr.

Isn't love amazing? I love that I love so deeply. I love my kids in a way that words can't describe. They are with me 24 hours a day, in a waking state and a dreaming state. I feel as if I protect them even while I sleep. But what happens when they and other relationships feel what you give is not enough? What emotion comes up? Anger, frustration, disgust, sadness? Can you really give all and expect so much in return?

I think in order to truly love and trust, you begin with love, deep love. There are people in our lives that are not at the level to accept the type of unconditional love we are capable of. We want to give it, we want to share it but it sometimes gets rejected, misused, abused, even torn apart. Then what? Do we punish ourselves and say, "how stupid was I to trust her/him?" or do we breathe in and visualize our true greatness. We are willing to give, to love, to trust, to do, and for someone to reject it, well, it's their loss. Truly, it is THEIR loss.

Anytime we offer ourselves to someone else, we are giving a gift, an amazing gift. The lost and wounded souls of this world may think they want the gift but are unable to truly accept it. I hope they find their way. I hope you stay away from people like this.

Take inventory of those around you. It is so important to surround yourself with people who appreciate, love, admire, respect and ACCEPT you for YOU! Feel it, know it. I know I do and although it is painful to say goodbye to relationships you believed were right at one time, intuition and the present makes sure you are on the right path! The time is now!
