Love is not love that alters when alterations find - Shakespeare
What is the truth about love anyway and why do people work so hard to find it. Honestly love is quite simple and easy to find. If you are looking in the right place. That place is your own heart.
Huh?
Yep the first place to find true love is to have a deep appreciation of ones own self. Love grows incrementally when we have the capacity to spread it to everyone we happen to be in contact with on any given day . To extend this love it must be that we feed the source of this love with love too and that is to love ourselves.
So one might say well this is nothing new and very clique. Unfortunately its seems that although this truth is available to everyone there are still many people who have not been able access the power of sharing love with others. They are discontent and still searching for the 'one'. Who is that person? I often wonder. I think I've found him. My husband is wonderful and I have figured out why.
I have known this man for near 20 years (more than half my life) and I used to believe he was or would be the things I thought in my mind. After disappointing myself terribly several times it occurred to me that I needed to evaluate the way I looked at him. I went within my soul and asked the questions that no one wants to ask right before they are considering marriage. Did I love him - I sure did but did I like him? Hmm ...did I see a lovely person within him . Could my ego and his coexist in the same space peacefully. Could we work together harmoniously to build a life together. I have enjoyed the journey thus far. Its been bumpy and lumpy we have fought disagreed and said hurtful things to each other. We apologize and laughed it off; promised to do better and allowed each other to be our natural selves. Fundamentally we like each other we are friends.
So what about you and your companion where is he/she. My advice -look in the mirror first ask yourself what you want and are these things possibly in yourself. If not address it. Ones you complete yourself you are free to seek someone you like and respect as those are the true makings of great companionship. In the meantime mindfully give a little love to those you encounter you may be surprised by what will return to you.
