vision

A few days ago I read a quote on Anne's blog, and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind.

"Love conforms to our vision. You'll always get what you want, so have the desire for the highest love you can imagine." - Deepak Chopra

These words have rocked my world.

They have made me realize how low my aspirations have been. I tend to expect very little from others. That way, if they fail me, I am not totally crushed, because I really wasn't expecting them to come through in a big way. And if they happen to exceed my expectations (obviously not all that difficult to do), I am pleasantly surprised.

Evidently, it has been more important to protect myself from disappointment than to dream big. What is the highest love I can imagine? I don't know -- I haven't allowed myself to even imagine it. But I think I need to give up my cherished invulnerability. I need a new vision.
