Life is About Living Fully
The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. When fear runs our hearts and our lives, it shuts us down and it creeps into every crevice of our being. It builds up walls that trap us inside ourselves. When we allow fear and indifference to run our relationships and our life choices instead of love, it strangles us slowly and boldly until one day there is nothing left but a shell of disconnect and dis-ease. Life is about living. Living fully, boldly, courageously, openly, lovingly, embracing and drinking in new experiences and exploring the laboratory we call “life” to its fullest. Learning firsthand what you love and works for YOU and what doesn’t work. When we allow ourselves to embrace life fully, we fill our hearts with meaning and connection and allow our life force to flow by both giving and receiving interchangeably.
Ask The Expert
Q: Is it really possible to detect a brain tumour during an eye exam?
A: Yes, but only indirectly. For example, some types of brain tumours can cause changes to the optic nerve and can affect vision a certain way, and these things can be picked up during a routine eye exam. Further testing and imaging would be necessary to make a proper diagnosis in such a case, and it should be stated that many types of brain tumours do not affect the eyes at all. Come see us at Mosaic for your next eye examination!
