LOVE AND BE LOVED

LOVE AND BE LOVED!

LOVE IN DIFFERENT STAGES

As children, we looked to our parents for love, for clothes and food, for an indication of who we were.

If our needs were met, we felt secure.

As developing adults, we still seek love. 

We continue yearning for security and all too often our self-definition comes through someone else.

SHOW LOVE

But a healthy sign of our growth is discovered every time we extend love to another, with no thought that love is owed us in return.

We can show our love in myriad ways- a real smile, a note of appreciation, associate surprise favor, may be flowers, or a phone call.

Warmly giving another attention in any form is an act of love, one that will be repaid in full by someone, at some time.

“The evolution of human growth is an evolution from an absolute need to be loved towards a full readiness to give love.”                                        -Dr. Karl Stern

The ease with which that we tend to genuinely love others is directly proportional to our commitment to enamored loving as a priority in our lives. To love is decision first, an action second a value next.
