WHAT IS LOVE? ♥️
For centuries we have been promising to love and live with complementary opposites – for better and worse, in sickness and health, richer and poorer…….
Love 💕is the fusion of complementary opposites. The opposites being (peace and war, good and bad, love and hatred, up and down, happy and sad).
▪️The principles shared here today are applicable to any relationship 👩❤️👩 whether it’s with your partner, children, friends, colleagues, customers, clients or secret lovers, or even your relationship with yourself.
Loving self 🥰 is a prerequisite to loving others. WHY??
▪️Everything you see in others (positive or negative, good or bad) is a reflection of what actually exists within you, though you may be too humble or proud to admit it.
If you love yourself 🥰 for all the (good and the bad, positive and the negative) you are more likely to love 😍 others for all that they are (the positive and the negative, the good or the bad) because you stop projecting or setting expectations on them to be the perfect individual who you have fantasied about.
You accept yourself and the others as a WHOLE 🤗 ( the good, the bad, the positive, and the negative) without wishing to change anything in yourself or them. This is TRUE LOVE.♥️
🔹Many people are stuck or entangled in the web🕸️ that ONLY HAPPINESS 🌻 makes a ‘good’ or a ‘successful’ relationship.💫
Seeking only ‘HAPPINESS’ 🌻 in a relationship is a one-sided perception that is delusional.
▪️During the infatuation 😍 phase, you only see one side of the coin- the attraction, positives, and happily ever after. This phenomenon of having a one-sided perception of only positives is called the ‘pink-lens effect’. 🤩
🔹Once the ‘pink-lens effect’ * 🤩 wears off, you see *ONLY the negatives, which is also false. This imbalanced perspective of one-sidedness is not TRUE LOVE.
To experience TRUE LOVE ♥️ you need to avoid extreme emotional charges of 🤩 infatuation and 😡resentment.
🔶This doesn’t erase the ups and downs, tick-tock of emotions but makes you more neutral, objective, and poised to react and take decisions from a balanced mindset.
