What is Love?

I believe the answer to that questions will be different to everyone, yet similar in some fundamental ways. I looked up a couple of opinions about love and found some differing opinions.

Andrew Furmanczyk wrote that, "Love is a lot of things, but in it's most simplest definition I believe it is simply a great overpowering PASSION to have that person/thing stay in your life." I believe that this is very true on a basal level. He went on to say talk about how love is a measure of respect and the more you respect someone, the greater the love is. Respect and disrespect is "getting to know that person's qualities/character and agreeing/disagreeing with how they behave."

had a little article on romance which said, "Love is looking at the person you married when he is greying and sick and thinking you want to wrap your arms around him. Love wants the person you are with to do what makes him happy even when this takes him away from you. Love is sitting across from the person you married and not understanding who they are but wanting to keep finding out. Love is hearing that your loved one has betrayed you but not wanting to run away. Love is a lot of things, but it is not easy and it is not free. It takes time and effort and devotion beyond all expectations. Love is worth the work." I agree with the gist of what this woman is saying. Love is about sharing your life with else's. It is a partnership that comes with devotion and a bit of work.

Yet another person on the Love forum for Powerful Intentions said, "Love is a lot of things, but rarely is it easy. It's easy to think on the fun times, but devotion (in my opinion) is about loving someone when it isn't necessarily fun or easy. That's when it counts."

It is true that love is a lot of things. Each person has a different view on what it is because it means a whole different thing to them. Each experience we have with love brings us closer to the understanding of what it is exactly. I don't know if any of us will know exactly what love is, but I'm sure that we will all know when we are in it.

Relationships and Decisions

There comes a point in our lives where we are faced with a tough decision to make. On the one hand, there is the decision that makes sense. It is the decision that is realistic. Then there is the decision that is based on feelings. This one may be skewed either way depending on other factors in the game. The realistic decision is based on fact. If all the facts add up, or if the realistic decision and the decision based on feelings are the same then the answer is easy.

Where it gets complicated is when the feeling and emotion towards a decision is confounded by wants. This can debase the whole decision making process and cause some major confusion. Take, for instance, a relationship. A partner leaving. The partner may have had a just and sound reason for doing so. Perhaps even to the point of it being the best decision for both people involved. However, when the person that has been left ends up wanting their partner back it clouds any sort of decision-making. The person who has been left is absolutely determined to somehow get that person back, even though the best course of action is to let them go. It doesn't happen with just relationships. It happens whenever there is someone who is determined in wanting some particular thing. The difference between wanting a person and wanting a particular thing is "free will".

What if this person wants their partner back and is willing to use everything in their power to get them back into their lives. I've perused the Law of Attraction forums and there are so many people who want to know how to use The Secret to get someone that broke up with them back. To me, this is almost silly. Most of the people who want their partners back admit that they were not perfect for each other. There is usually some fatal flaw in the relationship that has caused the other person to leave it. Wanting to have this person back and using the Secret for it is not the right thing to do. If you believe that everything happens for a purpose, then you must believe that they left you for a purpose. This 'purpose' is not just their reasons for it, it goes deeper than that. It comes down to some lesson that your soul or non-physical self believed that you needed to learn.

Trying to attract a certain person into your life is almost morally wrong. It's like forcing someone to do something that they don't want to do. They left, and then are forced to come back? No, that doesn't sound right. Instead, it would be a good idea to make a list of the qualities that are wanted in a perfect partner - write them down or make a mental list. Then the universe knows exactly what to create for you. Now, this person who left may pop back into your life again because it is the exact person that you asked the universe for, but if it isn't, then you can expect that someone even better will come along. Just trust it.


I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about a recent break-up and I find that if I just write it all down, it helps me gain some clarity on the situation. Hopefully, reading this post will help others gain some clarity as well if they are in the same situation.

Some thoughts for the New Year

Every time you praise something,
Every time you appreciate something,
Every time you feel good about something,
You are telling the Universe,
"More of this please. More of this please."
You need never again make a verbal statement of this intent,
And if you were allowing your cork to float - all good things would flow to you.

-Abraham thru Esther Hicks

As I read this little excerpt today that was posted in the Love forum on the Powerful Intentions website I realized that it can apply to every aspect of our lives. What we put out into the Universe is that which we attract. This is the theory about using the Law of Attraction and the Science of Getting Rich program that I have a link to at the top of this page. By using this simple Law, it is possible to attract wealth and anything else that you want into your life. This is what this blog is all about. I am attracting readers like you to read this blog and to see what I have to say at the same time you have been attracted to this blog because you want to either learn about The Secret, or you want to learn about the SGR program or making some money online. It's as simple as that.

"Allowing your cork to float" is such a good analogy. It simply means that our natural state of being is happy and positive. When we are being true to ourselves and letting our joy and happiness flow through us we are letting our cork float. When we bog ourselves down with negative thoughts and feelings we are pushing that cork under the water. If we let go of those negative feelings our corks will simple float to the surface on their own because that is what they do naturally.

Don't hold yourself down. Don't say that you're 'broke' because that's what you'll be attracting. Money is something that everyone has the right to have and there's more than enough of it in the world for everyone to have their million. Feel good about money and money will feel good about you. Why would it want to line your pockets when you're always putting it down and complaining that you never have any of it? That's not what it likes! Money wants to be loved and appreciated; it wants people to feel good about using it for good things! What would you do with $1000 a day for the next 40 years? What if you couldn't keep any of it and had to spend it? What would you do with it?

Stop and think about how you've been thinking about money (or anything else for that matter) and see if it has successfully stayed in your life. Are there big differences in your attitude towards something good that has stuck around in your life and the things that you always want but never quite get or never hold onto for long? If you can say that there are differences, perhaps it's time to start the new year off with a little adjustment in that department?
