Without a shadow of a doubt, we were all born to be loved. Love is one of the most powerful energies in our universe and it’s there for all of us to make and take. The thing is, nothing enters into this world except through the process of giving. If each of us don’t generate and pass this love energy along there won’t be much to take from. Right?
It’s really quite straight forward…if we want more love to come into our life, we must let more love come out of ourselves! We are God’s divine love generators, and so it’s up to each of us to generate it for those around us.
What is true love? I absolutely love how the Dalai Lama answered this question:
❤️True love is the capacity to make yourself suffer less, and help the other person suffer less. There is an art of suffering. If you know how to suffer, you suffer much, much less.
❤️True love and kindness have the power to create happiness. When you are able to develop feelings of joy and happiness in yourself, that’s true love, offered to yourself. If you can generate these feelings, and help the other person generate these feelings, that’s true love. So, if you are a source of joy and happiness for another, that is true love. If love does not generate joy, it’s not love. If love makes the other person cry every day, it’s not love.
I couldn’t have said it any better than that. What I know for sure is that learning to love and honor my own self, my soul…gave me such clarity in knowing true love was something I deserved to have in my life. This was the first step in attracting the love that I had always wanted. So with this clarity, I refused to continue to settle for anything less than true love.
What my heart truly craved was a deep soul connection, unconditional acceptance, never ending love and kindness. I wanted that euphoric feeling that happens when my skin touches his, when our energies combine. That feeling of exclusivity that comes from knowing his heart belongs to me and only me. That security in knowing he craves to be around me and fully present. That feeling of wanting to give him my love more than to receive his love…to look into his eyes and experience his joy, his successes his grief & sorrow.
I wanted to be the rock he relies on when his own strength is weakened and for him to be the rock that I need. I wanted to know I am his sex goddess and in the same breath be appreciated for being the girl who doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty rolling sod in the yard with him.
I wanted that feeling of being close and inseparable even when we’re thousands of miles apart. To share and marvel in the little moments and recognize those are the big moments of our lives. I wanted someone who wiped my tears away even when he knew he was the one that caused them.
I wanted freedom in exposing our bare souls to one another, without an ounce of judgement. I wanted that unwavering commitment that is strongly grounded in raw truth. The never ending forgiveness and mercy that’s much bigger than our mistakes. I wanted someone with whom I can kindly & peacefully navigate the lows, transforming pain & sorrow into growth. I wanted that explosive, yet comforting feeling of having it all…all that money can’t buy! To share views, ideas, thoughts, dreams and most of all to share God…but yet remain a full version of ourselves.
I wanted someone who could love me for being the perfectly imperfect me. I wanted true love and he, my precious loving husband gives me all of this and more! What more is there? Can’t wait to see!
For now I feel eternally blessed & grateful for him, a true gift from God…a chance at life and love. We feel so proud & satisfied to leave this legacy of love for our children to carry forward.
That loving someone shows up only when we’re truly ready…when we can open our own hearts wide open to surrender to the love God wanted us all to experience. That someone may already be there now, ready for the resistance to love to dissipate. I will close with a beautiful quote from Rumi:
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Have a wonderful weekend everyone❣
Much love to all,
Dee
P.S. – I love you baby! I’m the most blessed woman in the world❣
