What is LOVE? That is a great question. I believe that love is a feeling, a state, an experience, an action, a reaction and so much more. Words are not enough to express this unique marvellous feeling.
Love is the first emotion that we feel when we are born and come into this world. We experience it even before that when we are in the womb of our mothers. Then, we feel it even deeper when we experience the first touch of our mother when we are set on her chest. We continue to feel it when we are taken into our father’s arms for the first time.
Love is felt deeply in the first days, weeks, and years of our lives when we are surrounded by all our family members and family friends. We receive so much love from everyone around us. We feel love, we breathe love and we live it daily. It is so comfortable and we love it! This is how we grow and develop beautifully. We are loved and cared for and we feel safe.
Then as time passes we experience different kinds of love. If we could only attach to the purest love, sincere and honest love.
Everything we try to accomplish in our lives is done with purpose. We do it heartily, and we pour our whole love into it.
I believe that our main purpose as human beings is to find true pure love and live it daily. It is the one feeling that makes us complete and unique.
How can we stay in that purest love that we first experienced when we started our life's journey?
Throughout our life experiences, we learn that love is not always what we learned about when we were very young. We even think if this feeling called love is what we want to feel, especially after a difficult experience we had with love.
First, we might be wronged by our friends in our childhood experiences, then during our teenage years, and then in our young adult life.
If we were loved by someone, in our first experiences with love, we believe that love is wonderful. It seems so easy to reach it, and we think that all is possible. Then, through our different experiences with love, disappointment may settle in. Once we have a disappointing experience with love, the trajectory of feeling this feeling of love is changing. We begin to believe that true love is a feeling that can be so hard to find.
This is where we start to lose hope. We come to believe that all is a deception. In some cases, it might be, but we are here to learn what love truly means.
We have to continue to be the actors of our lives and not let the disappointment settle in.
Everything starts with us and in us. If we can grasp the idea that even if disappointments come into our lives, love can be restored and made even greater than we thought possible. It just needs our trust and patience. We just have to return to the first moment we came into the world when we felt the purest love possible. We are valuable and we matter. This is what we felt through the love that we received. We are wonderfully designed and we need to hold to our uniqueness.
The human journey is not always an easy one, but this is the beauty of being human. To love, to be loved and to stay in that love always, regardless of all the hardships in our lives.
How can we manage to stay the course when "love seems to fail us"? I believe that true love never fails.
Let’s show ourselves some love and to all those around us that we can stay always in that pure love that we received when we came here. Let’s try to care for us the same way we were cared for when we were very young.
We were taken daily by our parents in nature to be refreshed and stay connected with us. We had the most nutritious meals and we moved a lot. We managed to play every day and make the most of it. We did not care about the big things, we only enjoyed the small ones. We were even overwhelmed by the big things.
We connected easily with everyone around us and we wanted to stay in touch as long as possible. We were amazed by the beautiful environment we were in. Everything seemed to be a miracle. We were attracted by the beautiful natural world and everything that belonged to it.
Let’s try to be those little children once again, especially when hope is lost in our experiences with love. Let’s always remember the parental love that we received. All was done in love, by love.
Let’s re-centre ourselves and find time for self-care, true sincere connections and simple living. Try to find love in every small intention, act or experience. This is where love comes from. When we can do all that, love will surround us. We will have enough.
When any kind of disappointment in connection with love settles in your life, question yourself if that is the real love you are in search of.
Maybe it's just an experience with what love might be and that the real love that you are searching for is inside yourself. Find your answers within your True Self and know that the sincere purest love that you can find is inside you and only you know how to feel it in the sincerest possible way.
Life is a gift! Love is your gift from the beginning. Never lose hope and always focus on the purest love you are already so familiar with from the beginning of your journey. Love your life. Love your journey. Remind yourself that your life journey is unique, and precious and should be cherished forever.
