Love is a beautiful yet mind-boggling act. Learning how to really receive it and soften into its care tends to surface our most tender, internal bruises. Today is no exception. Remember: Any difficulty that’s activated is also a powerful teacher. It is only through love that you can get to know the hurting parts of yourself, after all. And it is only by tending to what aches that you learn to love even more deeply, bravely, and honestly. The greatest risk brings the greatest reward. Love courageously.
