Each February as Valentine’s Day approaches I think of the words of Leo Buscaglia who said that if we are waiting for the one and only, we will wait forever.
There is no right person. We become the right person! Leo Buscaglia Quotes
In the hustle and bustle of our overly committed lives, do we ever remember to take time to listen for love instead of waiting for the “one and only” love ?
Sometimes we need to clear our heads and hearts so that we can hear love. Perhaps this Valentine’s Day, those wishing for love might want to make a promise to make some changes in your life. Take a stand on clearing the path for love.
Here are seven steps to help you.
- Let go of worn out friendships and relationships.
- Break old patterns that really hinder your happiness.
- Take a chance on an out of character relationship.
- Break away from relationships that are boundary violations with piles of baggage.
- Be more forgiving of others without losing your sense of self or your values.
- Laugh at yourself and who you really are by accepting yourself.
- Forgive your love mistakes of the past and move forward with a renewed sense of self and spirit.
What will love sound like? Not a crackling fire. An old saying goes something like this: Starts hot, burns out fast. Starts slow, lasts long.
The sound of love? It is a still small voice in our heart that comes with contentment and commitment.
