Feeling The Power Of Your Love

Posted on 01/07/2010

Our weaknesses and strengths are all part of the same trait. Which side we show is mostly a reflection of how lovable we feel. Love gives us the courage to be our best. When we doubt our lovability we are always less. Love inspires us to realize our potential .

With love a dependent person can become independent, a controlling person can become free, and a competitive person can learn to nurture others. Our partner’s love is a reminder that we are lovable even when we are not our best, but it cannot replace self love.

Love is a support, but although it is freely given it is not a permanent loan Love is a flow of feeling. To keep it moving in both directions the partners have to be worthy of the love bestowed on them. The most satisfying part of loving another person is seeing your love make a change for the better.

There is nothing more dismaying than loving someone who never seems to grow, who stays trapped in the same fears, nurtures the same negativity, and so invalidates the worth of your love. Such a person does not love himself enough to return the love he receives.

It is tempting to point out your partner’s failings under times of stress. And you will be prompted by frustration and bitterness to do so. Just remember you always have a choice. Decide to look for the good without being blind to your partner’s faults.

• Be encouraging, but not unrealistic.
• Be truthful, but don’t use the truth as a way to punish.
• Be consoling, but still allow your partner to feel the pain of his or her disappointment.

Love to support not to dominate If your partner becomes dependent on your love neither of you is free. Love needs to be returned. Take the love you are given and allow it to show. Love gives you the courage to be yourself in the presence of the person who loves you.

Use this courage to be your best.
