Can’t help falling in Love...

“When one loves somebody everything is clear -- where to go, what to do -- it all takes care of itself and one doesn't have to ask anybody about anything.”

The air smells so fresh, the sky so blue and clear, leaves so green and moist and the day is so beautiful and I am in love.

Having shifted places recently I realize what I am missing and missed out on and now that I have the best I am in love with everything around me and it feels so nice. Love is the most beautiful thing to have happened to everyone and yet it is so undermined. Love reaches beyond romance and embraces us in all walks of life as we encounter one another and make choices about respecting and caring for each other. For each person love is unique and something that comes from deep within the heart and its each one’s thoughts on this matter. 

For me, love is only possible when one doesn't need others to define who you are or need others to confirm to your view of the world. It isn't a tool used for binding people to your side, it happens whenever your heart is open to receiving the beauty, wonder, awe of people, beings and happenings around you. Love happens when you embrace the wonderful awesomeness of life, as you acknowledge how incredible the world really is, how intricate and complex life is. 

I feel that we can only truly love someone else, when we love ourselves properly. But before we can love ourselves, we must know and understand ourselves profoundly. This understanding leads to an awareness of our divine essence and therefore of loving ourselves, and also every other being at that same moment because we will recognize that same divine essence in every other being. 

By loving ourselves, I don’t mean putting us before others, but loving ourselves is about having self-respect, discovering what really makes us, what we are and spending our life being true to our self. It is not about putting us down or comparing to others. Love makes us free from any sense of insecurity or threatened by other’s success. To love is not only about having the capacity to give love, but also gracefully opening our heart to receive love. To know that we deserve love.

We are worthy of love and the more we feel the love in our heart, the greater we are able to give more to others. Love is without attaching stipulations like expecting to be loved in equal measure in return. If the interest is not in the other person as such but rather in how the person can enhance our experience of life, then it is not unconditional. If we only love others for how they can ensure our well-being, we cannot know love. Love should be just for the sake of love. Realizing that someone may have another way of showing his or her love for us. Love doesn't compartmentalize but sees the person as a whole, it doesn't judge but tolerates the differences, accepting the person, their choices and everything about the person they love. Love will come only when we are willing to share love, to give it of it freely, and expect nothing in return.

 

We cannot love without accepting that there is always a chance of loss of the love or of being hurt. That is what makes love so powerful ––we risk much because the reward of love is so great. And in losing love at times in life, we learn to appreciate the love we have even more and we also learn that at times in life, it is better to let go than to force someone to love you. Most importantly, we have a choice. We have a choice to let a loss of love ruin us for all times, embittered for life, emotionally stuck at the time of the loss. Or, we can make the choice to learn from hurtful experiences, however difficult the lesson, and move on to discover the many other people who won't reject our love and who will give freely of theirs. The true expression of love is to just let people Be. 

Love is eternal. How can one stop loving someone whom they did and how can love just come by and go? 

Love means endless forgiveness, a willingness to give people second chances and a commitment to moving humanity forward, ever striving for greater harmony. In giving of the best of who we really are to others in the name of love, we transcend selfish motives and introspection, and truly seek to appreciate others. Love is a means by which we can start to see things more clearly together, to reach compromises or to collaborate, and to make room for finding a way forward that includes others, not just our ego. 

People become beautiful to you because you love them. In a society obsessed with appearance, it can often seem the other way around but the reality is that love makes a person beautiful and the imperfect perfect. 

I have seen some lovers torment themselves with groundless suspicions. If you look for trouble, you will find it every time. It surprises me why can’t we look forward to our relationships with other people growing more meaningful and precious over time. Hope, is an attitude that happily anticipates the good. It isn't being blind and denying that there are problems, but it does look beyond the problems. People who truly love others do not allow their problems to rob them of their happiness. 

Remember there is no failure in love, because once you tell somebody that you love them, then you have already succeeded in love.
