Real(IZE) Love

Some years ago Laura and I got into a conversation that changed both of our lives. We talked about how we can give and receive love in a way that will leave those we love with an authentic feeling of being loved. We also talked about what we could do to help people with this quintessential conundrum.

Upon further conversation we came up with this list of beliefs about the quality and nature of True (or what I might call Absolute or Ideal) Love.

1.

 LOVE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT HUMAN EXPERIENCE. LOVE IS AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE.

2.

LOVE IS SOMETHING YOU CREATE NOT DISCOVER.

3.

SELF-LOVE IS THE ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT IN EVERY GREAT RELATIONSHIP, WHETHER WITH YOURSELF, YOUR SPOUSE, YOUR PARENTS, YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR LOVER, OR YOUR FRIENDS. 

4.

THE HEART HAS A NATURAL DESIRE TO OPEN, EXPAND AND RECEIVE MORE LOVE EVERYDAY.

5.

THE HUMAN SPIRIT HAS AN INFINITE CAPACITY TO LOVE REGARDLESS OF PRIOR TRAUMA, PAIN OR LOSS.

6.

MOST PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO EXPERIENCE LOVE BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED THEIR OWN STYLE OF LOVE.

7.

WE CAN HELP YOU.
