Good morning,
How can tell if you are really loved and valued by someone/people?
That’s an easy question with a very simple answer.
Take away everything you have – your money, cars, home…
Take away your status in the community (local, national or international)
Take away the job title you have
Take away the family name you have
Take away the good reputation you have
Most importantly take any value you offer the person/people. Make it such that there is nothing you can do for them. Not even make them a cup of tea.
Now ask yourself, if I took away ALL of the above will I still be treasured and loved by them?
If the degree of love and respect you give somone is based on what they have, are, do, and value they offer you – then you in the business of using people vs loving people.
I once read a quote that said, and i paraphrase “Show me how you treat a man that has nothing to offer you, and I’ll tell a story about your character. ”
Surround yourself with people that love you such that you just being present in their lives is more than they could ask for.
Love doesn’t need or desire anything. When you are valued and loved for who you are, you suddenly want to be more, do more, have more. Why? Because you are in-spired. You are in-spirit. What is spirit? Spirit is Love. So you are in-love. (wow just typed that and realised how beautiful that is). Do you see that when you are in love you can do anything? When you are in love everything seems possible. You know this is true.
You were born to love. The purpose of life is to love. You were born to be loved.
You are love.
Love,
H
