unloved.” I agree and add that there’s nothing worse than being
unloved
because it means we are being unloving. People are starved for
genuine
love. We’re attracted to it and we’re able to share this blessing.
I’m a fan of the romantic poet Robert Browning. The marriage
between him and his beloved wife Elizabeth Barrett is a love story that
has been well documented in their poems. Not all of us are poets, but
we
can strongly believe in the transforming power of love. Nothing is
more
wonderful or feels better than pure, unconditional love.
You should always be able to be yourself in a loving relationship.
The sociologist and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm, the author of The Art
of Loving, wrote, “Love is union with somebody, or something, outside
oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and
integrity
of one’s own self.” The love we generate and increase will help us to
understand ourselves and others better. The depth of our wisdom is
measured by how openly and profoundly we love ourselves, our lives,
and
others. When we are loving, we give our best to everything we do
because
our hearts and souls are our truest guides.
Love heals us. The cancer doctor and author Bernie Siegel
understands:
“When you affirm your life, you give everyone who comes in contact
with
you a gift, and you fi nd your immortality in the love you leave
behind.”
Try to do everything in the spirit of love that will activate and bring out
all
the bright forces within you. We are made more beautiful, more
lovable,
when we smile. Every kind and tender thought we have will help our
heart to sing.
Choose to be more loving to yourself and others. This is the wisest
choice you can make because joy and happiness will be your spirit-
energy.
As I said in my book Living in Love, love is both sublime and divine.
