LOVE Is A Fact, NOT A Feeling

LOVE: A FACT,
FEELINGS FOLLOW

[VALENTINES DAY]

---Love is a fact. To get the most from it, it must be understood that one to loving, to be loved. Any feelings that may be involved are ‘’second-in-line.’’ If you are waiting to feel loved first, you may be waiting a long time. Being loving always is first.

---We have all heard many times that, ‘’All We Need Is Love,'' etc., from many different people, from many walks of life, from many different disciplines…that it is ALL about LOVE. I’d even go so far as to say, most of us are sick of hearing this. ‘’It’s a nice thought and all, a nice sentiment but let’s move on. I think most of us are tired of it.’’

---I will say here, is that the only reason we want to do something else, is because we are looking to ‘’feel’’ loved, instead of being loving. It is the same dynamic as, ‘’To Have A Friend, Be A Friend.’’ We have to love, to feel love. If it is Love on the feelings level we are looking for.

---Do you see the distinction? You are LOVED UNCONDITIONALLY, no matter what you may say or do on God’s great, green Earth. But, if you want to feel this fact, you must LOVE. And that is the bottom-line.

---This is why we have ALL heard ad finitum I’m sure, ‘’Love and you will be Loved,’’ or the ever-popular, ‘’God helps those who help themselves.’’ [Which I Will Bet We Have Heard USED Wrongly And In The Wrong Context, As Many Times As Right.]

LOVE is like the SUN that Shines. We are NOT tanned in the shade.

---Love is like the sun that shines. We are tanned, if we are in it. We are NOT tanned, if we stay in the shade.

---As I said earlier-if we are waiting around until we ‘’feel’’ Loved, we may be waiting and waiting and waiting ad finitum. [A Long, Long Time.] Be Well.

Meaning Of Life: To LOVE - A Fact, NOT Necessarily Feeling

''We Seek To Be LOVED, LOVING And LOVEABLE, In All That We Think And Do''

APPRECIATION:

A Process Of LOVE

Everyone LIKES To Be APPRECIATED

This Is Something We Can Agree Upon

KNOWING ONE APPRECIATES DURING The

APPRECIATION PROCESS

Is A GOOD THING

(But Not Necessary)

.

When We APPRECIATE

We UNDERSTAND, We ACCEPT

We ''GET'' Or Are ''GOTTEN'' By

Someone Else

ANOTHER PERSON

.

We Do A FAVOR To Those

We APPRECIATE

And Vice - Versa

Then, They GROW, We GROW

There's APPRECIATION

There's GROWTH

A FACT

APPRECIATION Is A

Win - Win

SITUATION

In ''GIVING'' And ''RECEIVING''

There Is NO ONE Who

DOES NOT COME OUT ON TOP

Honest COMMUNICATION - a poem.

The LEVELS Of COMMUNICATION

A POEM

The FIRST LEVEL Of COMMUNICATION.
NOT Knowing WHAT To SAY,
Nor WHERE To BEGIN.

Each Level Gets EASIER,
As One Opens - Up
And Tells The TRUTH
About ONESELF,
NOT Looking Back To See
HOW WE'RE DOING.

SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS

GETS IN THE WAY Of
Telling The TRUTH.
We WORRY If
We LOOK GOOD,
INSTEAD Of ''Staying On Track.''

If We ''Stay On Track,''
We Will See That
The GLOBE ITSELF Will
SHRINK DOWN And
We Will Be Telling
The ''TRUTH -TRUTH.''
And, We ''FEEL'' It.

THAT IS A VERY GOOD THING!!!

The HOUSE with FAULTY WIRING

CONSIDER THIS...
''The HOUSE With FAULTY WIRING.''

---There was once a House that had faulty wiring. ALL we ever did was to replace the ''fuse,'' to make the electricity come back on. But, it was well-known, that someday, the ''faulty'' wiring would have to be replaced.
