LOVE AS THE REAL THING

I firmly believe that without love being cultivated within first, then any act of kindness or respect is an imitation albeit a good imitation. An artificial diamond can be lovely but it pales when compared to the real thing.

If LOVE is not the cause of an action, that action will lack the most important ingredient. It won't hold up during challenges. It won't be able to extend as far into the world and it won't be able to accomplish all that is possible with the real thing.

When real Love becomes the motivator for all actions, then it leads to real actions that lead to more real love. We can’t wait around to hope for actions that may or may not be real that give us an experience of love. We must learn to find that love within, to nourish and cultivate it so that we have it regardless of the kinds of interactions we have with others. They are not the source of our happiness. Love is the source. Real love leads to real actions and real actions lead to more real love.

That's one to ponder and meditate upon.

If we come to understand and recognize that love within and how to cultivate it, to nourish it and to grow it, then what needed to be done has been done. Our purpose has been fulfilled.

We are "pregnant" with Love. Talk about something to celebrate!
