Investing in LOVE.

LOVE can be a lot like water. It sustains us, nurtures us, allows us to be more flexible and shows us our own reflection. Anyone can easily get their hands wet in LOVE, but not too many people can just reach in and pick it up. To hold LOVE, one needs to find a place or create a space for it. LOVE needs a sturdy vessel to rest in. In this place, LOVE can be carried and brought anywhere, but if it’s dropped, tipped over, or the “vessel” is cracked, you may find that LOVE flows away.

Look at all the things we “invest” our time and energy into daily. Very literally, it can be money for our retirement, but it can also be the energy we put into our careers, building or buying new toys, ect… We invest in our health through diet and exercise. We invest in our minds through reading, study, the types of TV programs, movies, or documentaries we watch, our friends through social activity. But what about LOVE? What have you done for your loved one(s) today? Over a number of relationships, I’ve realized that we’re constantly brainwashing or reprogramming ourselves in some way right. So how do you want to do it?

You “fell” in love with this person, didn't you? When or what was the last thing you did to really show your appreciation? It’s the little things that count, and it’s not just doing the dishes, or making the bed. It’s the note you leave on the bed for your partner to find. It’s the way you roll over in the morning and whisper in their ear that you love them. It’s the flowers you give for no specific reason. It’s the little things that count. I decided a long time to make sure that with any lover I had, I would invest in that love daily. Some small things to show my love, and it’s always made me dive deeper into that relationship. So… What have you done to invest in your love today?
