“If you truly loved yourself, you could never hurt another.”
The first step in truly finding love is recognizing you need to love
yourself. When you do that, you create a strong foundation for a lasting
bond with someone, and open yourself to the possibility of being fully
present for them. When you truly love yourself, you see the reflection
of that love within someone else. This is because we’re all connected;
spiritually, we’re all one.
“Peace comes from within. Do not
seek it without.”
The idea that something or someone
outside of yourself will give you the peace and love you’ve been seeking is not
exactly correct. According to eastern philosophy, when you do that you set
yourself up for eventual disappointment. This is because everything is
fleeting; emotional happiness comes and goes like the wind. But real
happiness comes from a state of being. That is, it flows naturally from
within.
You don’t need to add anything to
it…it’s already there.
Noticing that completeness within,
you can truly offer something in a relationship.

“Love the whole world as a mother
loves her only child.”
It’s not just one person or a family
that deserves our love; the whole world does. Part of the problem we have
in the world today is the concept of “Us four and no more.” People think
that only their family is worth their time and effort. But imagine what
would happen if we viewed the entire world as our family? Suddenly, we
start to expand that circle of love, and we feel an obligation to help
others. If everyone had that ideal, the world would be a very different
place.

“Whatever words we utter should be
chosen with care, for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good
or ill.”
It’s really easy to get in a mood
and project that onto other people…especially those we love. Saying
negative or harmful things to others can seriously damage our relationship with
them, and hurt our ability to create a strong bond.

“Hatred does not cease through
hatred at any time. Hatred ceases through love. This is an unalterable law.”
If you ever find yourself in a
situation where someone is saying something hurtful or damaging, remember that
there’s always an option in how we react. Choosing to come from a place of
love rather than anger can not only save a relationship, but also help that
person understand there is a better way to go about things. Not only that,
but reacting with anger only gives more fuel to the fire.

“Happiness will never come to those
who fail to appreciate that which they already have.”
One of the most common things I see
in relationships is one or both of the partners are looking around to see if
the grass is greener on the other side. There’s a constant subconscious
desire to see if they can get something better.
In short: they’re not committed.
Not having gratitude for someone in
your life can really set things up to fail. Recognize what you
have! Sometimes it’s better than you realize.
