Be the Love summary

Was there a moment in your life when everything seemed clear? Maybe you were a teenager, and one day it just clicked: you suddenly knew exactly what you wanted to do with your life. Or it wasn’t specific, but you knew you definitely wanted to do something with animals – or pursue something creative or be some kind of journalist. 

We all have the capability to be intuitive, especially when it comes to our own lives. We know what’s right or wrong for us, even if we can’t always explain the reasons why. If we’re being truthful with ourselves, we also know when we’re on the right path and when we’ve gotten totally off track. So it’s important to keep a clear and open channel of communication with our intuition at all times.

There’s a good reason so many of us get stuck in a rut. Change is scary – we’re better at adapting. When something bad happens, we can easily convince ourselves it’s the new normal. We get used to it, even if our intuition is screaming that this is not how it should be. We latch on to false narratives that neatly explain how we deserve to be stuck.

Even the idea of change can be scary. Change implies the unknown. It raises so many questions. But it’s in those questions – in that area outside of your comfort zone – that the magic and transformation happen. And that’s why going outside your comfort zone is the third way of manifesting happiness.

We’ve arrived at the fourth way to manifest happiness. And like the previous ones, this is a call for empowerment. This time the message is, You are not broken.

Thinking you’re broken is another roadblock on the path to transformation. Maybe there’s a false narrative you’ve been told or have made for yourself to justify your current situation. Maybe you’ve experienced horrific trauma in your past, or gone through a difficult ordeal. These experiences can leave deep wounds. But never forget: You are not broken. You are whole. You can still manifest the happiness you deserve.

Speaking of unprocessed emotions, the fifth way of manifesting happiness is all about letting go. We all have baggage of one size or another that we’ve been carrying around with us. But to move forward and create a new, happier future for yourself, you need to let go of it. This means making sure you’ve fully processed your suppressed emotions from past events.

Prout has experienced multiple miscarriages in her life, which were painful in more ways than one. So she’s especially grateful for the kids that she does have. In 2020, her oldest son, Thomas, was finally old enough to be left on his own when Prout and her husband decided to move from Nevada to New York. He had a job, he was enrolled in school, and he wanted to stay close to his friends – so it seemed like a sensible idea. 

It’s time to pick up a thread that’s been weaving through a lot of what we’ve explored so far: intention. Intention is integral to being the love you wish to receive. There’s an intention to everything that deals with the law of attraction. If you’re intent on transforming your life – of manifesting happiness – everything you put into the universe is in alignment with that intention.

Let’s specifically focus on the intention of words.

There’s a variety of different names out there for the thing that connects us all. It’s personal, and it can change from culture to culture. There’s God, the Universe, the Source. For Prout, it’s Love. The universe is the frequency of love, but it’s love that makes up the energy that drives each and every living thing.

There’s no shortage of love. Sometimes we feel like we’re lacking it, and our energy is depleted. But that doesn’t mean it’s not all around us – it’s just a matter of tapping back into it. And this is always within your power. No one can stop you from taking a moment, grounding yourself in the present, and accepting the energetic flow of life and love that is always available to you.
