What the World Needs Now Is LOVE

Why oh why, do we do things that we know won't lift up those we love? Or why do we say things that bother those we love? We sometimes treat strangers more politely, more compassionately than the ones we live with. I know that the ones we live with make us feel comfortable enough that we can be ourselves. But sometimes being ourselves is unleashing our worst.

Feeling loved helps people to feel safe. When we feel safe, we can risk being open and vulnerable enough to share our deepest thoughts. I recently heard someone say they only feel 50% safe to share their thoughts. I know that it's a journey. It sometimes takes years for a couple to really be open with each other, to find that feeling of safeness.

However I think there is a simple solution that can speed that up. It requires a person to see the other person with their spiritual eyes not their human eyes. Human eyes are judgemental and find fault. Spiritual eyes see a person's wonder and inner beauty.

So here it is... it's simple. If you want a wonderful relationship, I suggest:
you tell your partner over and over HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM
you tell your partner over and over HOW INCREDIBLE THEY ARE.
You do this with your words, your kind actions, your eyes, you write a note, you give hugs .. you get the idea.

This isn't difficult and the rewards for both you and your partner are tremendous. If you say you love the person...act like it. I'm thinking if you do this it will feel like you've found the fountain of youth.

Pic.. These are my feet. I was standing on a glass floor in Calgary. I was very frightened, even though my mind told me I was safe, my eyes were seeing something else. You can tell someone they are safe but if they don't feel it there's some work to do.
