The opposites being (peace and war, good and bad, love and hatred, up and down, happy and sad).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25aa\ufe0fThe principles shared here today are applicable to any relationship \ud83d\udc69\u200d\u2764\ufe0f\u200d\ud83d\udc69 whether it\u2019s with your partner, children, friends, colleagues, customers, clients or secret lovers, or even your relationship with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loving self \ud83e\udd70 is a prerequisite to loving others. WHY??<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25aa\ufe0fEverything 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love yourself \ud83e\udd70 for all the (good and the bad, positive and the negative) you are more likely to love \ud83d\ude0d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You accept yourself and the others as a WHOLE \ud83e\udd17 ( the good, the bad, the positive, and the negative) without wishing to change anything in yourself or them. This is TRUE LOVE.\u2665\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd39Many people are stuck or entangled in the web\ud83d\udd78\ufe0f that ONLY HAPPINESS \ud83c\udf3b makes a \u2018good\u2019 or a \u2018successful\u2019 relationship.\ud83d\udcab<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeking only \u2018HAPPINESS\u2019 \ud83c\udf3b in a relationship is a one-sided perception that is delusional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25aa\ufe0fDuring the infatuation \ud83d\ude0d 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 \u2018pink-lens effect\u2019. \ud83e\udd29<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd39Once the \u2018pink-lens effect\u2019 * \ud83e\udd29 wears off, you see *ONLY the negatives, which is also false. This imbalanced perspective of one-sidedness is not TRUE LOVE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To experience TRUE LOVE \u2665\ufe0f you need to avoid extreme emotional charges of \ud83e\udd29 infatuation and \ud83d\ude21resentment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd36This doesn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taken from the teachings of Dr. John Demartini<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wishing you an Inspiring and fulfilling week ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHAT IS LOVE? \u2665\ufe0f For centuries we have been promising to love and live with complementary opposites \u2013 for better and worse, in sickness and health, richer and poorer\u2026\u2026.
