If you take a look at the lives of the people around you, and really open your heart to seeing what is true for them, it becomes obvious that while all of us want to be happy and fulfilled, most of us are suffering and unhappy because of a ongoing lack of being loved and being able to give love.
Harvard University has conducted an 85 year long study to discover the most important element of life that determines if we have a long healthy, happy and fulfilled life or not. They followed generations of families and documented everything from diet, environment, work and other factors which were thought to be vital…and were shocked to discover that though these things made a difference, the most important factor by far was having great, close, stable loving relationships.
Those who didn’t have them, or had difficulties forming close loving connection with others were found to be the most unhealthy, unhappy and prone to an early demise.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe because the hearts of all living beings long to share, to give and receive Love, and need it to thrive and be fully alive. There is nothing else in the world which satisfies this longing and need other than sharing Love in a close, open hearted relationship.
Nothing…not being famous, or being a billionaire; not having the house, or car or any other material thing we may believe will make us happy…or even having all our desires met, or having all the pleasure we think we gotta have…
It’s a fact…our hearts, souls and higher minds long to be fully expressing, giving and receiving Love.
Real Love is unaffected by time, distance or circumstance when our souls share Love, unite together and rise up towards the One.
If you want to live in Love and be loved for who you really are, you must learn to put your attention on your beloveds and make it your priority focus to love them as they need to be loved.
If you want to live in love, be loving towards everyone and all living beings.
Being Love is the highest form of spiritual practice that you do consciously…
The only way to live in love and learn the skills of being loving is to practice love all the time.

Its vital to understand that you must develop a deep true love relationship with yourself first…you cannot love another until you love yourself. Others can love you only to the degree that you love yourself!
If you want to have a life you love—full of love, joy and bliss, you must become your own best friend and beloved.
Be loving towards yourself…don’t listen to any more negative self talk…forgive yourself for even the worst things you’ve said and done to others under the influence of anger or any other poisonous emotion…treat yourself the way you want the one who loves, respects and cares for you the most to treat you.
There is nothing more important than learning how to open your heart and make being Love unconditionally in this hurting world your life’s purpose and mission.
The truth is we all long for empathy and sharing pure unconditional love…and though to our doubting wounded mundane mind it may seem like a mirage or a fairy tale in this world of pain and suffering…

The beautiful reality is that ONLY LOVE IS TRUE, ONLY LOVE CAN HEAL OUR WOUNDS AND SAVE THE WORLD…and it can be done, it must be done, and will be done because we all know in our hearts that LOVE IS OUR GREATEST NEED, our purpose, our salvation and guiding light.

Thanks, dear one, for your insightful comment!
Yes, I agree totally…I spent many years trying to find the love from others I longed for, so that i would feel worthy of being loved…only to go through disappointment and heart break.
But then, in going through so much suffering, I discovered that the key to the mysteries of love is found in learning how to love, appreciate, respect and care for myself…and in that process, I have seen how beautiful, precious, special and worthy I am and have always been from childhood all they way through to this moment.
Now I stand in the light of that love for myself, free from the longing and desperate need for getting love from others. Instead, because I have learned to love myself, I am free to love those who come into my life to share love with me, and give my love without any fear of being hurt.
Its a beautiful thing to be free of so much shit from my past that others projected on me. Now, because I know and believe in myself, I am unaffected when people are hurtful. Instead, i am sad that they cannot see me well enough to love me for who I am…Its their loss and a damn shame.
