Return To Love – Part 1

The Self

Love by definition: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person. The bible says Love is Patient, Love is Kind and it also commands that we love our neighbor as we do ourselves. We live in a world where love is more of a battlefield than a peace of mind. Today’s love comes with mountains of stipulations and unnecessary conditions, ultimatums and other attachments. Love is not respected, it’s not properly nourished, and for the most part it’s not sough after with the right intentions.

I’m not a counselor, or speaker, or even a relationship expert. But one thing I know is love is a necessity. I hear from my friends and family on a weekly basis regarding relationship issues and love questions. There’s a world of people who have been abused emotionally from chasing an ideal of love, and I’m very empathetic toward those who no longer believe in love and have simply given up. This is a horrible state-of-mind to be bound under and if you’re not careful it can and most likely will kill your spirit.

How can you love with a dead spirit? You Can’t!
How can you loose the stronghold of disbelief of love ? It takes time!
How do I do it? It starts with learning how to love yourself.

The Return to Love Begins with the Self - look in the mirror and point at the person you see…that’s who it begins with. I find that most people I speak with, regarding love and relationships, carry a mountain of regret, insecurities, failures and unnecessary pressures everywhere they go. It’s kind of hard to feel good about yourself with all these negatives guiding your subconscious. You need a renewed spirit, heart and mind – you also need a willing attitude toward openness to love. Do you truly love yourself? When no one is around, there’s no one to try to please, the environment is just you and your thoughts…do you truly love the person you are? The main key to finding love with another person is first discovering true love within yourself.

I’m very passionate about the love that I have for my wife and with my wife. She was my return to love… she gave me the hope that love was indeed possible, the hope to believe again and to experience again. She helped me to discover the love within myself because there was no way I could have ever loved her if I had not first loved me. My inner person was in a world of trouble and agony from just dealing with the cares of life. I was lost and thought I was craving love, but what I really needed was direction in finding myself. I had to take a look at my personal situation and take a stand for inner person. I had to really examine the kind of person I was at that moment in time and make some changes for me in order to really be open to love again…for that I love who I am and I especially love who I am with the love of my life by my side.
