What Is Love?

Here’s a question for you…

What is love?

Ask any ten people and you’ll get ten different answers, but only one really matters: Yours.

Think about it.

A close friend tells me there are only two kinds of people: Those still looking for love and those who already have it.

Is love a feeling or an action?

Can love be conditional?

Is love a loaded word? 

I don’t have the answers for you. Only you know the real answer. 

But for me:

-Love is a verb.

-Love is giving without expecting anything in return.

-Love is not keeping score.

-Love is non-judgmental.

-Love means accepting someone for who they are.

-Love does not need to fix, change or control.

-Love is never giving up on love.

So many people say, “I guess I was just meant to be single.” Or “I’ll never love again,” or “I’m through with love.”

Don’t believe it. It’s not true. One of the best acronyms I’ve ever heard for love is:

Let

Others

Voluntarily

Evolve.

Trying to control or change someone is not love. Giving people the dignity of their own path and letting them bloom in their own time, is. We don’t want people telling us who to love or how to love, so why would we try to do that with others?

Someone else’s love is not up for you or me or anyone to decide.

I saw this quote once and it has always stayed with me…

“That love is all we know, is all we know of love.”

Give love, but never give up on love.

Be the love the world needs now.

And always, always, go where the love is.
