Recently a friend said to me that we see love on display everywhere.
It is on television, it is in songs, it is movies and even tied into many things that we purchase..from the mundane to the luxurious.
Love is all that we need. Love is right there waiting for us. Love is out there and all around us. We become intoxicated with the idea of having it and receiving it.
However, the reality is that few people are willing to give love, to trust love, to share real passionate and caring love to one another. Perhaps it is from all the wounds and damage that we suffer along the way in life? Perhaps we just get too traumatized and damaged to trust someone else. Or perhaps we ourselves don't truly believe in love and therefore can't really give it in the first place.
When we are 16 and in love, and we say to someone we love "I need you." How does the power of such a simple statement change as we grow older? By the time we are 26 years old, are we more or less likely to say "I need you"? What about when we are 36 or 46, or even 56?
Time and the damages of life does influence us.
We need to keep a fresh mind about life. We should try not to allow negative thoughts and stereotypes to influence our opinions of an individual. We need to always learn to assume nothing about them. Instead, we should try to explore who they are as an individual and work with their energy.
When two flames are placed on one candle, the candle burns twice as bright, but only lasts half as long.
When one candle burns midway into the other candle, you shorten the life of one candle and could possibly extinguish the life of the second candle with the spill over.
However, when two flames from two candles are brought together they burn a brighter light and last a normal lifetime.
These examples of working together to become better works this way in all of our relationships. With family, friends, coworkers...and especially the person we're in love with.
When you first allow yourself to give love, and then allow yourself to receive Mind, Body and Soul love...the two people become like that third example of candles. You burn together a flame twice as bright as all others and are able to live a normal life span.
All of this starts with just two words. Trust and Effort. You have to see the person in front of you for all the right reasons and realities.
It could all start with a simple hello, or a look, or a feeling. It could start from a mere passing by. In the end it will be the effort of words and deeds together that will build that trust. That trust will build a future. That future of everlasting Mind, Body and Soul love.
