Love
Love. Everyone is looking for it in one form or another. From the minute we are born, we start to look for that warm loving hand of our mother till the day we die. Some are lucky to find it between those two time periods. But others waste so much of their lives in the search that they fail to realize that love has to start from within. We came from Love and have an abundance of it in ourselves, but are blinded by the false notion that someone else has to come and gift us with it. During our childhood, our parents teach us how to love. We practice those lessons once we enter society by the means of an institution called school. The problem with this process is that we always depend on love from others and never really learn to love ourselves. As we enter adulthood, it's essential to take time to really figure out who we are and what we need. Self relfection is the healthiest way to reach self love and self acceptance. Once that happens, then the flood gates of love opens up in our lives and we no longer depend or cling on to the scraps that others had been feeding us until that point. We easily find nourishing love all around us and are able to reflect that back into the universe. I see so many men and women running around now a days looking so desperately in any hole and crevice that might shimmer a sliver of the light of love that they never take the time to really look within and realize their own true worth. It really saddens me to see so many being disrespected and shamed in the name of love when true love itself only demands the highest of honor and nothing less. Respect yourself. Love yourself. Then wait and see the beauty that your life turns into. #onelove #oneGod
