I read this earlier today on love...Most of us believe that we need to be in an intimate relationship before we can be "in love" ..We think another person is necessary! In fact the opposite is true...Learning how to be "in love" by ourselves, with ourselves, will allow us to experience true love for the first time. y ou have to be in the state of love before you can have any type of meaningful relationship..

If you wait to connect with your inner love, if you wait to be in love until you meet a special someone, your going to be in trouble. why? becuase if your not in love and hes not in love and your each hoping the other person will make you feel in love, youll end up dissappointed and resentful. no one can give youlove your not already feeling. no one can fill you with anything you dont already possess.Then when someone who is also in love meets you or sees you, you can be in love together. side by side, you can celebrate the miracle of the love that is dancing within you and between you..Love is never actually exchanged---you dont give it and your partner doesnt recieve it..
Rather, both of you agree to feel your own love at the same time.
And that love resonates back and forth like a joyous bridge connecting your two hearts..
Love isnt something we can actually get from anyone else
Its a state that we are either in or one that we arent in...When you begin to have this kind of relationship with yourself, you realize that being "in love" is a state that you can experience no matter whats happening around you. If someone is there to be in love with, thats great. And id your alone, you can still be in love. And if you have a partner but he is in a bad mood, or not feeling his own love, you can still feel your own love, enjoy your own love..YOU ARE THE SOURCE OF YOUR LOVE.....
That was pretty powerful for me...The trust and security and honesty will all fall into place if that scenario ison the table..it must..i havent experienced it but i have seen it...
