When Does Love Become a Setback?

Just because you do not “have” a special someone to love, it does not mean that you have no one to love nor does it mean that you don’t have love to give. Love is not seen or measured so why would it be that we don’t have it to giveaway without a counterpart? We always have love, it is not created because of a thought or because we force it to be, it just is and if we let it be it will come.

Some people see love as a setback, a “human condition”, an evolutionary flaw, however, is it not with love, that great things are achieved? Just because you are “without” that special someone does not mean that you cannot achieve anything, it is a love or respect for yourself and those you encounter everyday which aids you in your goals. If you are waiting for the right person to give meaning to your life they will never come. We cannot wait for love, but be love and give love. Love can also be in the form of friendship and kindness to others, a helping hand, a grateful attitude or respect. Love comes in many forms and on many levels.

If you are waiting for love and think that it has not come, than your belief is correct, it hasn’t. Yet if you open your eyes to what is in front of you and inside you, you will see a truth. Love is within and without, in many forms. It is in form and formless. It is not our thoughts that give rise to love, but the ability to see that it has been in us this whole time. Love is not about creating it or finding it, but seeing it and letting it in and out.

Love is not a plague or a prize that gives fulfillment. It is fulfillment which we already have. It is not something that we believe we have a potential for, but something that we realize our innate potential with. When realized it turns our belief of “potential” into the knowledge of “kinetic”, dynamic, empowered action.

Love is only a setback when it’s “absents” is believed and dwelt upon. It is no longer a setback when we realize and acknowledge the truth that it has always existed in our grasp. It can only truly be shared and received when it is seen in the light of awareness. An awareness that we were born with love so that we could use it, spread it, and empower others with it.
