"the secret" ... to being in love?

im glad some people still get that kilig feeling over romantic love songs! sarap talaga ng pakiramdam (mcvie, no i am not addicted to the feeling!)

but its also sad that some people feel that romantic love is lacking in their lives. and some complain of being lonely, lonesome, alone...

hmmm. let's apply 'the secret' here...

perhaps some of these people focus too much on what they don't have, i.e. no love in their lives. and whining about it just makes the thought expand. always mentioning this will just reinforce it further, a vicious cycle.

so turn it around. stop thinking you don't have love. stop focusing on what is lacking in your life. start by recognizing that there are so many people around us who love us and whom we can love back! family, friends, people we work with... then you become thankful sincerely of what you already have: this wonderful people around.

Then start loving. It's an action word. start focusing your energies on making people you love happy: your father and mother, especially your parents (joke)... your grandparents, your officemates, your friends and barkada. spend time with them, make them laugh, make them feel appreciated. then extend to other people in dire need of loving: the poor, the elderly, the abandoned, the orphans and widows. just keep on loving and loving.

this way, you stop focusing on what you don't have and you start focusing on loving people around. you end up sending signals of love to the universe. and that is what the universe will give back to you. love, in all its forms, perhaps including romantic love.

but the beautiful part about this is that i loving in itself is very gratifying. you will come to realize you arent looking for love anymore... but love will find you anyway...

this, i believe, is my secret... i never have imagined a time when i won't encounter love. i have always felt an abundance of love all around. and i try my best to love the people around.... of course it gets me into trouble (when i love more than i should be loving. hehehe) but seriously, love always comes my way! im not scared of being alone, even in my old age. because i know i wont be...
