Keep Love Flowing

Since love, romance, and satisfying relationships is my primary focus, I often read books on those topics. Last night I was reading Be Loved For Who You Really Are and there was a section that had a great suggestion. When things are bad, ask what’s right or good about what’s going on. If you will step back and away from the hurt you are feeling, there is always, always some lesson that can be learned. How we respond to outside influences has to do with our inner workings. A sales clerk is rude. One person will get angry at them, another might just steam quietly inside, another might just assume the sales clerk’s hemeroids are acting up and send them blessings. It’s the upsets that tend to have the good stuff buried beneath the pile of doo-doo. What can you learn about your childhood lessons about dealing with the situation that is causing you consternation? What does it tell you about what you believe about yourself? What does it tell you about what changes you need to make?

Another good question to ask is how can this make me a better person. How can this help me learn how to communicate my needs, my upset, my vulnerability in such a way that love flows instead of constricting. And what can you learn about each other. What do you each need to feel loved. If you make a plan to use the upsets to learn about each other and learn what each of you needs to feel loved, your skills at communicating will grow immeasurably and your love can’t help but flower.

With much love,
Kara
