It's Time Presents Valentine Special on 12th February, 4:30 pm AEDT at the "i--the being" Online Spiritual Book Cafe | Bonus Article: Loving the All and the Everything…
11 February 2022
Register here: tiny.cc/iBeing2022
The Big Love Day encourages us to love, but to only have love for one… How about using the day to LOVE ALL? How about just emerging all the love in our hearts and sharing it with all the people in the world, to the Earth, the animal kingdom, yourself and God. Why not let us be unlimited in our love? When we put all our eggs in one basket we can become disappointed. But, when we create for ourselves a love garden, the scent is very fragrant, it spreads all around and gives happiness to everyone.
There is no point you waiting for that exclusive Valentine to come riding along! You know because even when he/she does turn up, they will be expecting the same from you! That you should make them happy! In fact, when we are feeling full from inside, we do not wait for anyone… to make us complete and happy. Sure enough, it’s nice to have company and friends come our way, but let it not be a co-dependent relationship where we are needy love.
From my own experience, people are so happy to be with you when you don’t want anything from them. The moment you show you want or need something, they run a mile! It is the clinginess that kills our relationships, that forever wanting, we know not what we seek ourselves, and yet we trap others with our expectations to deliver the ‘unknown something’ to us to make us happy! Then what does the other party feel? They feel trapped, guilty and probably used too! What does that tell us about our relationships? That when the going gets tough, then the people get going out of our lives too!
