I went to teach my preschool yoga class this morning and there was a group of toddlers in the room that I hadn’t met before. Two of the little guys were sad about something…some playground mishap that preceded my arrival.
I picked up one boy and gave him a hug and he stopped crying. The other one came up and we did the same. They didn’t even know me, and my skin color was different than theirs, but none of that mattered. My hug made it all better.
…What perfect proof that love is what we really are – fear is only something we learn. Make a conscious effort today to live from a place of love. And lovingly avoid people who have an investment in making you fearful.
