If love is the most powerful force on Earth, why is it so elusive? Or is it? Why is it so hard to find? Or are we looking in the wrong places? Why does it come and go with the blink of an eye? Or does it?
Questions to ponder, yes, but not about love, but about ourselves. It is not love that is hard to understand, it is ourselves. Love doesn’t hurt people, people hurt people. Love is and always will be pure, compassionate and gracious. It belongs to everyone so how do we find love and keep it with us always?
The answers are simple, yet profound.
The first realization you must make is that love is not “out there”, it is “in you”. You were created from love so it already runs through your veins, muscles, hands, feet, heart, brain, soul, and so on. Love is what makes you smile when you’re happy and love is what comforts you when you’re sad. Love is what makes you find your soulmate but it also heals you from heartbreaks.
The second realization is that love cannot be lost, it can only be amplified. Since you are “love”, how much you feel of it is all about what experiences you have as a human being. Get excited and the love meter gets higher. Feel betrayed and the meter gets lower. But remember, it never fades away completely. You can never lose it so hold fast and focus on why it exists within you to begin with.
The third realization about love is that its ultimate goal is to be shared. When passed to others, it can feel larger than life itself. Also, the benefits extend beyond you as the giver and impacts the person receiving it immensely. Love can show up in so many different ways: a smile, a hug, a kiss, a handshake, a look, a gift, a lending hand, a listening ear, a lick on the face (from a dog), a cat rubbing against your leg, a bird eating from your hand, feeding a homeless person, etc. There are no limits on how far its reach goes and there are no limits on how much you can have or experience.
Love lives within you and will always find a way to remind of you this. Remember to nurture your own self-love first because you are a very important person in your life. Once you are filled with love, reach out and share it with those who need it most. Those who have forgotten that they too were created from love. Don’t worry about running out of love either, you can never deplete a heart filled with love. It is self-filling and self-restoring. So go out there and touch someone else’s life with your love…because love is an extension of who you really are. 🙂
Love and Blessings,

One of the slogans I considered for my business is, “The Power to transform your life resides within YOU.” Understanding that everything we truly need has to start with us, and that includes love, is the key to any sort of happiness or success in life. Wonderful and thoughtful post. Thank you.
Such a sweet and truthful posting. I completely agree. i found it was much easier to find the right man once I learned to love myself as I was and not change for anyone.
