Offering love to others

 
"We believe we are hurt when we don't receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain
comes when we do not give love. We were born to love... The world has led us to believe
that our well-being is dependent on other people loving us. But this kind of upside down
thinking has caused so many of our problems. The truth is - our well being is dependent on
our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out. - Alan Cohen

So true! We must give the love we desire to have. Energetically, what we put
out comes back to us. Lack creates more lack...love creates more love. It sounds incredibly
simple and it is...but it may not be the way we've used to doing it so it will require practice.

Try it for one day. Bless everyone you come in contact with. Be kind and loving, even to
the slow, old man who held up traffic and made you late for work. I promise you that by the
end of the day you will feel the love flowing back to you. It may not come from the same
source you sent it to. That doesn't matter. It will come... Give from your heart freely.

The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn

is unconditional love, which includes not only

others but ourselves as well.
