We Have ONE Job

Our ONLY job as moms is to LOVE our children. That's it. Nothing more. If we just do that, our every word and our every action will fall into place. We can't hurt them from that place. Every negative emotion has a basis in fear. It's impossible to feel fear and love at the same time. We confuse those two emotions but they are not the same. Fear kills love. When we act from fear, we can damage. If we act from love, we CAN'T hurt them. Sometimes, we can't stop them from hurting themselves. Sometimes, all we can do is love them right where they are. When they're hurting themselves, we become so fearful and we act from that fear at a time when they most need us to act from love. We can't say we love them but. Love has no but. There is no ambiguity. We have to love them, not so they get better, but because we just do.
