What's the only four-letter word you can't hear enough
of? Love. We all want to feel it, hear it, and experience
it. We search the world looking for it. We hope and
pray to find it. We go to psychics, seminars, dating
services, church, and therapy; read books; and have
countless dates trying to find it or the map that leads
to it. We'd be only so thrilled if the Home Shopping
Network could package it and sell it and UPS could deliver
it to our door.
Everyone knows why we take risk after risk searching
for it. There's no greater feeling in the world than
being in love. Love is the most potent natural aphrodisiac.
Food, alcohol, or drugs can't replace it. It's a healer.
It's our connection to the universal forces of life,
or God.
Love is the gatekeeper that allows us to experience
all other emotions. Without love we surround our hearts
with a stonewall and eventually can't feel anything,
until the wall is torn down. Love is what allows us
to feel joy and sorrow; it gives us laughter and tears,
provides strength for others and the need to be held.
Love is a state of being that allows us to experience
all things. It's not something that you find; it's a
way of life.
Someone looking for the love of their life must have
a clear understanding of what love is in their life.
Think of love as a house. Self-love is the foundation
of your house. If you have a weak love foundation, the
house will be shaky. On the other hand, if you have
a solid, strong love foundation, you have the opportunity
to build a house full of more love in your life than
you can imagine. The fact that you have self-love doesn't
mean that you won't have to say no to some of the people
trying to put inferior-quality materials in your house
of love. There are always con artists out there testing
us to see if we'll put things in our house of love that
aren't healthy or don't match our requirements. However,
if you have a strong foundation you'll have less to
rebuild or will be able to recover more quickly if you
accidentally put inferior products in your house.
Fortunately, you can always improve or change your foundation.
In fact, keeping your foundation strong is a lifelong
job. Different parts of your foundation may be weak
at different times in your life. Sometimes you may have
to work more on the foundation that supports your family;
other times, on taking care of yourself; and yet other
times, on the foundation of your relationship with your
significant other. It seems some rooms of a house are
used more than others, and the foundation that supports
them may need more maintenance. But by constantly maintaining
your foundation you'll get to spend most of your moments
living in the flow of love.
When you're living in a state of love, life is an adventure.
Each day life offers experiences that are full of opportunities
to enjoy living on Earth. Living in love is about living
in the moment. With rare exceptions, when you're focusing
on the moment you're living in, not on the past or future,
you can be happy and in a state of love. Love is the
most abundant natural resource we have.
When you're living in a state of love, it's difficult
to be angry, resentful, and bitter. Unfortunately, we
live in a culture that likes to take inventories of
people's actions and keep debits and credits. Some good
deeds get a credit, and every offense receives a debit.
At some point in our relationship we look at the balance
sheet and see if we think everything has been fair.
In a perfect world, debits and credits would always
be balanced. However, we live on planet Earth. Everyone
here is participating in a human experience and has
to learn their individual spiritual lessons, so we create
relationships in which the debits and the credits aren't
always equal.
Even when you feel your debits and credits aren't equal,
you can still access your infinite supply of love. It
heals you so you can move forward. Of course, it's easier
to access your infinite supply of love when you're living
in a state of self-love.
