~~ Thoughts ~~
We
receive love when we give love, with no strings attached.
Bargaining for love is sure to disappoint us. It's human nature,
when bargaining for anything, to hope to pay only half of what
something is worth. Expressing this attitude in our relationships
guarantees that we'll be shortchanged.
No one of us is free from the need for love. And most of us
search for reassurances of that love from the significant people
in our lives. However, the search will be unending until we come
to love ourselves.
Love of self is assured when we understand our worth, our actual
necessity in the larger picture of the events that touch us all.
When we realize our value and see that life's mysteries have
reasons, we'll no longer doubt ourselves and we'll be free to
love and understand another's value too.
We need never grasp for love when we sense the real meaning of
the lives that surround us.
