Love is a respon­si­ble choice to whom you want to spent the rest of your life with. It involves two dif­fer­ent indi­vid­ual with unique atti­tude and char­ac­ter but is directed with pro­found love to lasts for­ever. Spir­i­tu­al­ity is involved as the cen­ter of the rela­tion­ship. Under­stand­ing, respect, trust, faith­ful­ness, har­mony, for­giv­ing, joy, open­ness and a sense of humor are the most impor­tant ways to live with life.…But there’s no per­fect relationship…Expect con­flict but through mis­takes we learn to for­give and for­get and learn our mis­takes as we face the chal­lenges in love and life.

gracie says

love is hap­pines. We can’t explain why this things grow in our heart and it is always there will­ing to feel the hap­pi­ness and joy­full­ness. Some­times love bring trou­ble in our life but in a con­trary it is a lessons for every­body and it will help us to be wise in the next chap­ter of our life.

Chaitali says

i have expe­ri­enced love at many times. It is just love the uncon­di­tional love. it is pure magic abd state of bliss­full ness. if we attach words like pos­s­esive­ness or expec­ta­tion to it, it will loose its fra­grance and fly way. love is your being love is the thread that ties the universe

Kaissar says

Love is get­ting to be aware that you and the whole cre­ation share the same energy. Once you real­ize that you and the other have this divine energy how can you hurt him?It is as if you are hurt­ing your­self if you do.Love is also he energy that binds you to all that is from one cell beings to the biggest of plan­ets. It is this force that sus­tains and keeps.The prob­lem is, how­ever, how can we change our awareness?

Catalin says

Love … is some­thing that I haven’t experienced…yet. This is what I believe.
On the other hand Love is what we are made of. This is not to be con­fused with what we have cre­ated our selves, our ego. We trans­formed Love in ego and now ego needs to be cleared from our Heart.
Love is not com­pli­cated, it seems com­pli­cated because we are wounded, and look­ing through our wounds is never authen­tic. And so I am a war­rior of Light.

Love and Light, Cat

Kin says

Love” is that con­di­tion in which the hap­pi­ness of another per­son is essen­tial to your own… Jeal­ousy is a dis­ease, love is a healthy con­di­tion. The imma­ture mind often mis­takes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jeal­ousy.
~~Robert A. Heinlein

Noth­ing on earth makes me hap­pier than to see joy in the eyes of my beloved because of some act of mine! I ‘love’ watch­ing him respond to the vis­i­ble signs of my love for him.

How­ever, it is impor­tant for me to remem­ber to love *myself* first, for *I* must be healthy and happy enough to rec­og­nize and ‘give’ the lit­tle gifts that show my love to him. Some­times, another per­son has a gift that gives my beloved some joy and how can I begrudge that, sim­ply because another per­son pro­vides it? I thank ‘that’ person…no jeal­ousy, just a bit more joy that I can give him, hap­pily and with trust­ing love.

This man, my beloved, shares this life­time with me by choice, to teach and be taught by me. *I* am the blessed one, that he shares him­self with me and accepts my love.
>smile<

First and fore­most, we are play­ful friends who rec­og­nize how very for­tu­nate we are to be allowed to ‘rec­og­nize’ each other in this life­time and in these bod­ies which we enjoy in every way!

Oh my!! I sound like a teenager with her first crush. I am in fact 56 years old, have known him for 35 years and oh oh oh, how won­der­ful to still feel so very much for and from him!

I do hope that YOU smile as you read this: I would like to feel that some­thing in here has made *you* happy ..and why??

Because I love YOU!!!

Peta Heskell says

love is the recog­nis­ing of the god­like spirit inside us and res­onat­ing that to the world. It has to come from within first.

Most of us seek love out­side our­selves… we seek some­one to make us feel bet­ter, good etc…

I have worked for ten years under the ban­ner of help­ing peo­ple find love and am now dis­il­lu­sioned because they THINK it comes from out­side… and they THINK it fills a hole…

Love is a divine concept…

with love

Janu says

Beng in love”( as in are­la­tion­ship) is that intense state of mind where your atti­tude is so pos­i­tive towards your beloved that you are ready to accept him for what he is and give more than you get and just feel happy to see him happy…very self­less at first but how long does it last ? Slowly the desire to keep it in a par­tic­u­lar way, to elicit the same responses every­time and be in a con­stant high can lead to obses­sive behaviour.

Instead when we work on our atti­tude alone and try to remain pos­i­tive no mat­ter what to no mat­ter who, we don’t need to “be in love” or look to be in a state of high at all. We take respos­ni­bil­ity for all our actions and become “lov­ing” which is awon­der­ful feelig that lasts forever…

Our atti­tude can­make all the difference…

Lotus says

you are absoul­tely right on the spot — Yes!
LOVE is a Positve View­point!
So sim­ple and yet so Accurate!

Ines says

Excel­lent videos, i found that one of my biggest prob­lems is low self steem , low self con­fi­dence, i have never told any one because my ego is soo high that even to me kept it hid­ding that i am always com­par­ing myself to peo­ple spe­cially to peo­ple that i feel they are smater than me, hap­pier than me , suc­cess­ful than me, and the list goes on and on, so i real­ized that i have to change this atti­tud can you help me,

Teodoro says

I do enjoy it.
I can see some changes in my all ready.
Look’s like I’am about to get a great job.
If I get it.
Count on me buy­ing your pro­gram.
I like it!

Joy says

Love is a decision.

If I decide to love, I then begin to see and admire the good things about some­one and I tend to ignore or at least, not let bother me, the things I dis­like. Love grows.

I spend time with the per­son, I find ways to do things that please them because it makes me feel good. Love grows.

I could go on, maybe make a poem out of this but what does it all come down to?

Atti­tude.

You are right on the money, Burt.

Joy

than aw says

love is a reac­tion to some­thing or someone.
