loving-others

The rhythm of the heart...beats twice. Thump, thump. Once, first for itself and then once again for the rest of the body. It's a true metaphor for us. Like the heart we must pump life giving love and care for ourselves first, before extending that gift out to others. The heartbeat of every worthwhile relationship begins with a healthy, humble understanding and appreciation of our own personal self worth. When we do this the power to truly love and appreciate others pulsates fluidly and freely into all those we warmly choose to share our lives with.

It occurred to me that some people couldn't handle too much love. That everyone loves as they're able, but more, they are loved as they're able. Some are indomitable and open, like an ocean, but others aren't made to tread those waves, cannot stay afloat those waters. We embrace the kind of love we can manage. Less can be the right measure. But when it isn't, we must learn we cannot squeeze a mountain into a room with a glass ceiling. Or everything shatters.

Always follow your Heart; unless it's been broken, then you must lead it. Back into Love, The Universe

You will know it is love when the need can't be met by yourself or God.

Loving yourself doesn't make you selfish. When done correctly, the exact opposite occurs, because you know that selfish behaviors are negative for your mind, body and spirit.

As much as I don__ want it to be true, the reasons I don__ do something define me as a person even more so, perhaps, than the reasons I do something.

Your good deeds is an act of love.

Real popularity is taking the time to love others, reaching out, and never being afraid to be the first one dancing. REMEMBER THE GIRL IN PEARLS.

Always do your best to be loving and kind to others.

Love is donating a chunk of your life to patch up holes in the life of another.

The Christmas spirit is simply an honest spirit of love for all humanity. It is the force that moves us to give what we can, to help as we are able, and to always be of kind comfort.

Who doesn't want to know that we notice them and value them? And who might respond to us better when they feel that they matter? It probably cannot be overstated _ it matters...that people matter.

Kindness is like a warm blanket of snow, softly covering and gently touching the heart.

Often we withhold our affections, waiting first for love to be extended to us. The irony is that we are loved for loving.

It is unfortunate that for some, kindness is an unwarranted expenditure, compassion an avoidable weakness, and love an unnecessary gamble.

You can have all the titles in the world but if you cannot treat others as you would yourself, you have no love to give!

Sometimes, you will go through awful trials in your life and then a miracle happens--God heals you. Don__ be disheartened when the people you love don__ see things like you do. There will be Pharisees in your life that will laugh it off, deny that it happened, or will mock your experience based on righteousness they think you don't possess. God won't deny you a spiritual experience because you are not a spiritual leader. He loves everyone equal. The only people that really matter in life are the people that can __ee_ your heart and rejoice with you.
