by ReadersMagnet | November 2, 2023 | Book Review | 0 Comments
The pain of life can either make us bitter or make us better. No person wishes to experience pain throughout their lives, but we cannot be ignorant that it is part of our lives. No matter what we do or how eager we are to pray for things to fall perfectly or as we planned them to be, only some things always go to our plan. Accidents happen, relationships end, war and poverty continue to exist.
How can we live through all the chaos that surrounds us? We ask ourselves where we can find Eden when we experience or witness something that resembles our idea of what hell looks or feels like. Such things make us think that this mad world cannot give us the happiness we dream of. We try to bury ourselves with things that either distract or destruct us to chase our idealized heaven on earth. Sara Spowart, PhD, believes that it is also possible for us to free ourselves by looking within and shifting our perspectives on things and the world around us.
In her book You are Love: The Discovery of Happiness, Sara leads her readers through her life journey with significant events that push her toward deeper insight and understanding. The highs and lows of her life, including many illnesses and multiple death experiences, made Sara realize that pain can be a blessing in disguise. They have pushed her perspective beyond the usual way of seeing the world and towards a more expansive understanding of reality.
Beauty from Pain
“There are ten thousand joys and ten thousand sorrows” – this is one of the ideas that has inspired Sara. She believes everything in our lives, including the so-called good and evil, serves a purpose. As we go through our journey, we can’t turn the other cheek when we experience pain. However, when we learn to let go of control, we can use everything for our growth and expansion. By focusing on meaning rather than chasing instant happiness, we can use our passion to see the beauty around us – to turn it into something beautiful and meaningful, such as compassion, purpose, and connection.
Sara shares the excellent lessons she has learned to help us begin or grow our understanding of our true nature and interconnectedness with everything and everyone around us. She tells her readers that the more a person expands and grows, the better they will feel and the better life can be. Sara didn’t mean we should ignore the sufferings in this life but face it head-on with bravery and a loving heart.
She says growth can be painful, but we always feel best when we grow, learn, and expand. This can start as we feel grateful for what life teaches us. Freeing ourselves from suffering comes from connecting to what is bigger and more significant, not from everything going right and going just the way we want. Some of the most beautiful things in life come from pain that ultimately leads to the most positive and enlightening feeling.
Inner Thoughts Brings Inner Peace
Sara guides her readers inward through a step-by-step roadmap to shift their perspective and begin living authentically. She includes reflective questions, guided mental exercises, mantras, and guided meditation prompts that anyone can do anywhere. These things encourage everyone to become more aware and mindful of how life moves with God.
As Sara discusses several stages of how readers can transform into love-centered beings and implement daily wellness practices, she motivates them to take advantage of what life offers. Her words help them embrace and present their true selves to the world.
A Life Worth Living
What is a life worth living? While we may have varying definitions of what makes our life worthy, let us remember to live it with love. There may be countless things that can bring us pain and disappointments, but no one ends up at a loss when one is willing to open himself to extraordinary love.
