Finding 
Who Said What About Love – Part 4
Author: Gayla Wick
In searching for love quotes I’ve encountered several I really like although they’re from lesser known sources. I decided to share this one today from someone you may not be familiar with, but I found worthy of quoting. You may be inspired as I am to read one of his books. The words I’ve chosen to present in today’s post feel true in ways that penetrate through layers of fluff and abstract ideas about love. I hope you too sense the universal truth in these words and consider how they might be an inspiration for your love choices.
Paulo Coelho (born August 24, 1947) is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He spent much of his career as a songwriter, but left that behind in favor of penning two books. He is best known as the author of The Alchemist – a book recommended to me several times. I must put it on my reading list soon. I hope you enjoy the following quotes:
“Love is not to be found in someone else, but in ourselves; we simply awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person. The universe only makes sense when we have someone to share our feelings with.” And “When we love we always strive to become better than we are.”
Humans are not wired to live life alone in isolation from others. While there may be exceptions to this, I believe it to be almost universally true. Sometimes people become discouraged after many failed attempts to find a loving and compatible life partner. Some even feel it’s better to be alone than suffer through the struggle. And on this point I agree. What you say? How can I agree with that sentiment after what I just said about people needing other people? Let me explain. I do believe it’s better to be alone than to be connected to the wrong person. Anyone married or in a long term relationship with the wrong partner will readily agree. But when the love of our life walks in we sense it to our very core. We are awakened in ways that defy description. This love connection goes straight to the soul level and yes we automatically step into our best selves.
I’ve seen this in action hundreds of times as I continue to talk to singles and couples about love. Most often it’s the man who finally steps up to become the person he knows is required to sustain the love relationship he’s found that awakens his emotional self. At the deepest level he knows this woman and this relationship is worth all of his best behavior. Women, you hold the key to ensuring this highest and best behavior continues as the relationship moves through all of its stages. Accept nothing less. Sustainable relationships require both partners to operate at this level.
Until next time remember: Your special love connection is there for you. Open the channel by loving yourself deeply and completely.
