"Elizabeth, you're going to have to sacrifice something."
What did that mean? I thought that when you're in alignment you can have your cake and eat it too. I thought that maybe guilt and the idea of sacrifice were the same thing.
"It's about making a choice so that you can *focus*. Without focus, you cannot channel all of your energy in the way that you need to to truly succeed."
"This is how creation works. Look at a tree. It had to be a tree - not a tree/horse/cow thing. When you paint a picture you can never paint color and non-color at the same time...it's one or the other. You're brain will only perceive one thing at a time. If you look at a window and see your reflection but behind see a tree - you must focus on either the tree or your reflection while the other one blurs out."
That's what sacrifice meant to me, to focus. You must let go of some things to fully receive something else. That doesn't mean you can't do one passion as a hobby and put most of your time into whatever you are focusing on but there is still a sacrifice there.
My mother and father sacrificed a life of career to raise me.
But it gave my brother and I the opportunity to become who we are today...It gave us the the opportunity to be courageous, confident and wise. Their support was pivotal in our growth. And now, I can give back to them and I want to. I want to help them in all of their endeavors to succeed. Love doesn't just take or give - it's a constant cycle of both...neither being forced.
My father once said to me that I'd do things that would scare even him and the first time that I did was when I went up on stage. I didn't want to be the one in the spotlight - even though I've been told I am talented...I have always enjoyed being the side-kick. But, I see now that I can truly help...I can give back all the love that's been given to me. It asks courage for me to step out onto the spiritual stage of life.
Here I am world. This is me. This is what I believe. I know that together, we can change things for the better. Love is in the air and I want to share that with you. Maybe I've fallen in love and I've gone so deep that I can't imagine a world where anyone thinks it isn't possible. Love is here for us.
I am here to love you. God gave me you. I've not felt closer to anything that makes me care more than when I've loved another or loved myself. Together, we can make it through anything.
I have been given this reoccurring choice - shall I step out and truly make a difference on this planet or shall I pursue something simply for me? Than I make someone smile or someone tells me that my belief in them has changed their life and I feel the decision was already made all along. I made someone feel loved. What an honor - how grateful I am.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." I no longer can live a guilty life...a cowardly life. I want to choose the sacrifice of a life only of selfishness...I want to CHOOSE a life of love. How could I possibly enjoy heaven while the whole world suffers in their own hell? I want to share what I've gained with everyone...anyone who wishes to hear and wishes for something more.
