Love.....

The Greatest Tragedy in Love.

If you've ever thought about giving up on finding the love of your life, I want you to know you're not alone.

I've seen the faces, heard the stories and felt the heart of more women I can count who have done so.

And I get it...

This "love thing" isn't easy and many times it's not fun.

Most times it's confusing as fuck, and it might even feel heavier than pushing a boulder uphill with one arm tied behind your back and no one else to share the burden.

Other times it feels so unfair, and we fear our hearts cannot take another blow, another disappointment, another rejection or another betrayal.

And yet having had the blessing of working with women and seeing thousands of times that love destinies do change,

...and can do so in a matter of weeks, sometimes days - not years.

I want you to know that the biggest tragedy in love:

Is NOT a huge disappointment.

Is NOT a devastating betrayal.

Is NOT a rejection of your heart.

Or a man who backs out on his promises without integrity.

The biggest tragedy in love is GIVING UP.

It's choosing fear over courage when it counts and in doing so spending DECADES - not years - dying a slow and painful death.

The biggest tragedy in love is not being you and by not expressing your light, failing to let someone see you, know you, desire you and adore you.

The biggest tragedy is buying into a bullshit story that justifies never having to risk again.

The biggest tragedy is keeping your love, your gift, your passion, your joy, and the freedom you have within, locked up inside your chest - for no one to see.

Think about this...

Out of 3.5 BILLION guys, there's a worthy man out there who is craving YOU.

He may have lost hope in love and is seriously doubting if the woman he dreams about is ever going to show up.

He needs you and your capacity to love, smile, dream, inspire and heal his heart.

In other words, he is waiting for you.

So my invitation to you today is to consciously choose love over fear.

To remember who you really are and if your heart's been bruised, hurt or forgotten...

To not let it die by giving up.

Ultimately experiencing love comes down to one important decision:

The decision to get back up when you've fallen down.

Because we ALL fall down, but not all of us choose to rise again.

The love you want may be within your reach if you have the courage to claim it.
