According to Gina LaRoche and Jennifer Cohen, ‘Love is a discipline, a practice, a conferring of trust before it is earned.
Love is being there when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, and when you are not in the mood. It’s the recognition and acceptance of everyone’s enoughness, regardless of the circumstances.
Love is a verb, a place to stand, a choice, a call from deep within. Love is letting go of how we thought it was supposed to be.
Love is seeing yourself and another clearly.
Love is knowing what you hold most dear and being willing to fight for it.
Love is the welling up of gratitude that comes when you feel yourself truly connected to all things.
Love is someone standing for you when you don’t know how stand for yourself.
Love is acceptance- the ability to be with it all: the parts we like, the parts we hate, the parts we wish would just disappear.
Love is finding out that none of it deserves to be discarded, that it all has a place, that all of it belongs, that all of you belongs.
Love is having the courage to forgive those who will harm you. It is a willingness to see their humanness, their frailty, their fear, and to choose not to condemn them for it.
Love is being able to forgive all your failings and to grant them equal space at the table with your greatest successes.
Love is a beckoning voice, calling you deeply to yourself, deeply to your truth, to your path, to your own dance between nothing and everything, to the creation that will be your life.
Love is simple but not easy. Loving can feel dangerous because it opens us to vulnerability and hurt.”
When you have love in your life, you have everything. If you want to create a powerful life, you must first love yourself.
