The Real Thing<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Love Should Feel Good<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Often in our lives, we fall prey to the idea of a thing<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

rather than actually experiencing the thing itself. We<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

see this at play in our love lives and in the love lives<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

of our friends, our family, and even fictional characters.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The conceptualizing, depiction, and pursuit of true love<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

are multimillion-dollar industries in the modern world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, very little of what is offered actually leads us<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to an authentic experience of love. Moreover, as we grasp<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

for what we think we want and fail to find it, we may suffer<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and bring suffering to others. When this is the case, when<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we suffer more than we feel healed, we can be fairly certain<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

that what we have found is not love but something else.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When we feel anxious, excited, nervous, and thrilled,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we are probably experiencing romance, not love.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Romance can be a lot of fun as long as we do not try<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to make too much of it. If we try to make more of it<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

than it is, the romance then becomes painful.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Romance may lead to love, but it may also fade<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

without blossoming into anything more than a flirtation.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If we cling to it and try to make it more, we might find<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

ourselves pining for a fantasy, or worse, stuck in a<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

relationship that was never meant to last.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Real love is identifiable by the way it makes us feel.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Love should feel good. There is a peaceful quality<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to an authentic experience of love that penetrates<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to our core, touching a part of ourselves that has<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

always been there. True love activates this inner being,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

filling us with warmth and light. An authentic experience<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

of love does not ask us to look a certain way, drive a<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

certain car, or have a certain job. It takes us as we are,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

no changes required. When people truly love us,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

their love for us awakens our love for ourselves.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They remind us that what we seek outside of ourselves<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

is a mirror image of the lover within. In this way, true love<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

never makes us feel needy or lacking or anxious. Instead,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

true love empowers us with its implicit message that we are,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

always have been, and always will be, made of love.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
