You Deserve Your Very Own Love Story

Rumi, the poet-philosopher, gave us wise counsel on love when he said:

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Each of us has a desire to love and to be loved. We all dream of having that special feeling that comes when you give all of your heart and soul to someone and you know that in return they are giving just as much right back. Love is among the most basic, and most fulfilling, of all the human needs.  It brings us the greatest satisfaction in life, but it can also bring us the most heartache….

Have you had that experience before? Can you remember meeting Mr or Mrs “Right” and knowing that they were the one? Things were amazing… you were both in love, you had hopes & dreams together, and everyone saw the glow that naturally came from within. It was real, and you knew it was right.

Then, over time, some things came up. The passion seemed to die down, and the love that once existed slowly became a fading memory. What happened?

Stephen Chbosky teaches us that “we accept the love we think we deserve.”  Perhaps it is also true that we accept the love that we are prepared for.

They say that love takes work. It doesn’t take HARD work though, it takes SMART work.  In love, like in anything, success leaves clues. There are so many people out there that are willing to give you answers for problems they haven’t solved themselves… but if you want a successful relationship, you have to take counsel from those who have done it. As opposed to opinions or theories from those who haven’t, proven strategies & skills from people who emulate what it is that you are seeking will be your quickest route to having your own success story in love.

“Don’t lose your love over your pride, but its okay to lose your pride over your love.”

Without the skills & virtues of communication, patience, compassion, empathy, kindness, understanding and so on, it becomes very easy to let our barriers take over, and be a blockade to our receiving love.  Not having the proper skills to deal with stress that is natural in relationships, our true nature can very easily become clouded with insecurity, judgement, envy, blame, intolerance or expectation.

The purpose of this site is provide tools & resources to help us all learn the essential skills to keep our love relationships (with ourselves and others) burning brightly.  Each day, a new video and article will be posted from a leading expert in the area of relationships.  Every person who contributes to this site not only teaches it, but lives it. In the coming days you will hear from Dr. John Gray, Gay & Katie Hendricks, Dr. John Gottman, Byron Katie, Anthony Robbins, Greg Baer and many more!

Are you ready to create the love relationship that you have wished for all your life? You deserve it, and this site will give you the tools you need to receive it!

“He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved.” ~ Emerson

    What a great article! YES…learning proven strategies that have been field tested and applied in a variety of setting and conditions is FAR more powerful-and intelligent-than simply accepting the “wisdom” handed down through family or friends; “wisdom”, by the way, that as it often turns out, didn't work so well for those who are passing it on. I look forward to future posts, here! We all talk of love, but how many of us truly understand what it is we are speaking of? I can't wait to have my mind stretched in this area.

    Wonderful! Yes, “skills & virtues of communication, patience, compassion, empathy, kindness, understanding” are so important. I whole-heartedly agree. I believe that when we can listen to what the other person’s heart is saying, rather than focusing on their literal words, people can come together. Beautiful things happen in our relationships. Thanks for the positive post!
