Seeking Love

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it" --Rumi

Rumi sets up what feels like a nearly impossible task. How are we to free ourselves from all the barriers against Love? How do we even know what they are? By the time we reach adulthood our DNA, our temperament, and our experiences create a mess of doubt, negative self-talk, and a belief that we must find in another, what we wish to be ourselves.

But, what Rumi tells us, is that once we open our minds and our hearts to receiving Love--rather than using it, denying it, or believing we don't deserve it--then Love will come.

Look inside yourself and understand what stands in your way of allowing Love in....and then simply believe in possibilities.
