“All doubt, despair and fear become insignificant once the intention of life becomes love.” –Rumi

Love is the answer.  Doubt, despair, and fear have power when we are focused on getting, changing, or keeping.  We might covet something and doubt we will get it.  We might dislike our situation and despair that it will not change.  We might have something and feel fear about losing it.  Love, however, is about giving unconditionally.  When the intenion of our lives become love, the energy we put into getting, changing, and keeping drops away.

When have I focused on getting, changing, or keeping?  Has this made me happy?  What gifts await me as I open myself to giving unconditionally from a place of love?
