When I am looking to fill the love hole in myself am I looking outside of myself? Where does love come from? Does it come from sex, sugar or medication? Do I need to be validated by someone? The real question is, am I loving myself? Am I validating myself? I look at people that enjoy a loving partnership with their spouse and often really want what they have; and perhaps they are looking at me and really wanting what I have. The magic partner is not going to fix me. The girlfriend is just another teacher, the relationship another lesson. If it is a lesson in love, then what a truly wonderful lesson it is, but it is still a lesson, hard fought, requiring patience, discipline and sacrifice. It requires love, unconditional, not romantic; patient, not passionate. The passion ebbs, yet the love must grow. It is the same in the love that I have for myself, a far more important love if any other love is to be genuine and true.
