How to be loved
Needing a bit more love in your life?
Now, you know the way things work, to get anything you're going to have to give it. If you are feeling a lack, it isn't that you aren't lovable, it is just that you need more practice!
For anything to exist in your life you need to create it. This starts with loving others more. The more you practice, the more you open yourself to the love around you and the potential to receive then grows with it.
You can practice on those around you for whom you already feel some affinity––but to earn real love, start practicing on the tougher cases around you.
Like the garbage man who picks up your trash regularly.
Like the person who cut you off on the freeway yesterday.
Like the kid who keyed your new car.
Like the homeless man who smells of sweat and urine.
Open your heart to continue to love everyone around you despite whether you feel they've earned it or not and watch the love grow in your own life. It is one of those bits of magic in this world––and it takes practice.

ReplyDeleteNatosha Davis -- first, I would would have to define what I mean by "love" in my text: this would be the willingness to have the other person be who they are, without judgement, and a willingness to wish all good things for that person, or that they have the path they've chosen without your needing to change it or feel hatred, disgust or censure that they've chosen that path in life. Love, in this sense, would be a sense of appreciation that they are human just like you.
ReplyDeleteWith that, it doesn't mean that you have to take the homeless person home with you ... ;o). I'd never recommend that a person keep someone who has a toxic personality around them. (One should only ever surround themselves with people who support them in the best way.) So, yes, if they rub you the wrong way, stay away from them; it isn't good for either of you ... but how you feel, your mood about that person should remain without hate or judgement.
At least, that is my viewpoint about it, and what I apply in my own life. It's taken away a lot of my own strife ... :o)
Very pretty!

Very Nice
ReplyDeleteYou have to get love to give love. I adored my sons and LOVED them more than life. That's as far as I could go. I think not having LOVE is SAD. I had it in high school from someone I dated forever. Then I met and married a guy in 3Months. I was not I quote not in my RIGht mind. That was the beginning of the end.
ReplyDeleteThe words are wonderful. I just lost someone and I keep thinking what's the problem with us. Now I am clear.
ReplyDeleteI care for people alot. But I'm tired of getting hurt by men. I want to be loved. For instance I would love to be held and comfort,kissed and etc. I want some romance in my life!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the words Robin. Yes, love makes life more beautiful, regardless of our past failures and pains. We don't need to search for it, just give it - freely.
