Love cannot be forced. Love is elusive because you cannot force yourself to love someone or something. The closest we can come to manipulating love is to allow ourselves to feel love by putting our fears and low self esteem on the shelf. When you feel love for yourself and another, physically you change, emotionally you change, mentally you change, and spiritually you change. Life seems worth living, your energy is high, and you have so much more to give.
Love is fearless.
When we are in love, or feel self love, things that used to intimidate us, irritate us, or baffle us, seem insignificant. If there is a battle to be fought, you will gladly walk into dangerous situations, all in the name of love. Wars have been fought for love of country, battles have been fought for ideals, murder, treachery, larceny, and imprisonment have all been suffered in the name of love. There was no greater truth. Love would shine radiantly within, then it would extend outward to each person we meet.
