Loving kindness?

Self-esteem must be earned! When you dare to dream, dare to follow that dream, dare to suffer through the pain, sacrifice, self-doubts, and friction from the world, you will genuinely impress yourself.
- Quote of the Day

Have you ever thought about the love? aspect of Love? How we express love and its level of intensity? Everyone has the capacity to love in their hearts. The question is if and how we actualize and express it.

Ask Yourself:
What is my capacity to love another person? Do I have problems with giving? Am I stingy or selfish? Is it difficult for me to let someone else into my life? Do I have room for someone else? Am I afraid of my vulnerability, of opening up and getting hurt?

How do I express Love?
Am I able to communicate my true feelings? Do I withhold expressing love out of fear of another's reaction? Or on the contrary: Do I often express too much too early? Do others misunderstand my intentions?

Whom do I love?
Do I only love those whom I relate to and who relate to me? Do I have the capacity to love a stranger; to lend a helping hand to someone I don't know? Do I express love only when it's comfortable?

By considering all its aspects, love will not be distorted and can be truly realized. Try to find a new way to express your love to a dear one today.
