#7 Intimacy & Vulnerability

Vulnerability comes from trust. Trust grows from friendship. Are you seeking gratification or longing for bliss? if you choose bliss, practice friendship. Enjoy making friends and the joys of bliss from exploring your shared values and sharing experiences.

Love Day 7 Tip for the day: Be committed to getting to know many friends. Use this time to practice fun and enjoy the getting-to-know-you process before getting serious.

“Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”

#4 Love is a full-time job!

Finding a loving relationship is a full-time occupation. A loving mate is our most important objective. It is a goal we enter life with. The love experience of our parents shapes us. It’s where we learn love either fills us with hope or hopelessness. It is on our minds and what motivates us!

Tip of the day: Be honest with yourself and admit that you are looking for love. Let your family, friends and co-workers know. If you are looking for a mate tackle it in the same way you would look for a new job. If you are looking to improve your love experience, tackle it in the same way that you pursued important milestones!

“The art of love is largely the art of persistence.”

Albert Ellis

#2 One plus one equals two

If your inner landscape yearns for love, have you decorated your outer landscape for romance?

Does your personal space display your relationship’s intentions?

Tip for today: Notice your outer landscape. Walk with fresh eyes around your home and notice what dominates the story. Kids? Work? School? Hobbies? T.V.? If you want more, what can you remove to make more space?

“Love does not dominate; it cultivates.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Turning our focus towards ‘love’ in February!

Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you.’ Mature love says ‘I need you because I love you.’

Erich Fromm

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

Ann Landers

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Henry David Thoreau

We can only learn to love by loving.

Iris Murdoch

The first duty of love is to listen.

Paul Tillich

How is it for others if you are not flowing in and out of being both leader and follower
