About Love: Showing Love to Strangers

Its not easy showing love to strangers. In fact, it's out right have at times. That's one thing about love that is mighty strange, although we have it in our hearts to show love to others, especially those in need, we choke and freeze up. How often have you pulled up to a stop light and not shown love to the beggar in the center divide by just giving him/her a few coins. Something about love tells us we should, but because we don't know the person, it is so hard to open up and connect with that person. Often, psychologically, I believe that we think they are contagious and whatever landed them in the situation that they are in will happen to us. We are embarrassed at time even associating with strangers that look different than us.

However, it's foolish. It's not how to show love. Instead, showing love may only take 3 seconds and not cost more than a quarter. The same quarter that buys the sandwich that saves the life. What is love all about? It's about sometimes doing, when you are uncomfortable doing. It's about giving, even when you don't have the time to give. Love is about being able to show love to strangers despite what others might think. And when we are able to show love to strangers, we have begun to learn how to love unconditionally, making us the most powerful weapon on the face of the planet.

About Love: How to Love When You Are Afraid To Love?

We can spend our entire lives learning about love and how to love one another. But learning what love is and how to love isn't always easy. One of the many things that is difficult to grasp in life about love is How to Love When You Are Afraid to Love. It may seem silly that a person might be afraid to give and receive love to and from others, but I am of the opinion that it happens much more than we realize. The reasons are many, but often we have a difficult time giving and receiving love because of a fear that the love we give may not be enough, or we that we may not be able to appropriately handle the love we are given. Fear is often hard to overcome. I'm sure that you have an adult acquaintance or two that have a fear of clowns because of some experience as a child, and in all this time that have been unable to shake this fear. Love is so grand that fear of it can be just as long lasting. As a result, understanding How to Love When You Are Afraid to Love is not easy to do. Despite our natural tendency to want to seek and provide love, to know more about love and what is love, some people go through life never being able to shake this fear.

One thing that is important to realize is that despite fear of loving, the love that you provide those around you can be a gift. And the love that those around you provide you is a gift. Our daily interactions allow us to recycle this gift. What love is, in part, is a social emotional present that is exchanged by small and tremendous gestures and behaviors towards each other on a nearly minute by minute basis. And I don't know about you, but I like receiving gifts. And in the same, I like the joy that the gifts that I give provide those I show love to on a minute by minute basis. You let go of our fear by facing the clown head on. Don't let the clown hinder you from what love is all about. Instead, try with just one person to give the gift of love today. And bask in the feeling when the love is returned. And you will find something wonderful about love; it can make your fear about it go away because love is just that powerful.

How to Love

It is my opinion that most people become uncomfortable when they have to share about love. This may be because there are so many opinions on how to love that people are afraid they their opinion is the wrong opinion. As a result, people often clam up when it comes to giving advice or opinions about what love is. Consequently, some of the golden nuggets about love and how to love have gone unnoticed and unclaimed. The purpose of this blog is to notice and reclaim those nuggets.

Expressions of love can be simple and easy. Sometimes we get caught up in making an expression of love overly grand. Twelve dozens of roses is a wonderful thing, but it's neither simple nor easy necessarily. Sometimes, a small note to a loved one will cause the same stir of emotions. Often stating the positive things that you admire about a significant other is what helps them through a difficult day. And often, oh so often, the gift of a single piece of chocolate does the trick. We can learn how to love through simple and effective expressions. And the smiles, hugs, and kisses we receive in return keep the cycle of love turning.
