Love is not about attachment, ownership or control.
Love is about the time we spend with each other.
The moment we make it about “us” or our own personal gain, our own needs, or controlling another, it’s no longer love.
It then becomes about ego, fear, and our own unresolved issues.
A mindful, compassionate, kind being wishes for happiness, joy, and love for others.
Which means we have to be mindful of ourselves and continually be willing to do the work to allow others to just “be”.
The work is not the easy path…
Love for others is setting them free from our ideas of who we wish them to be and accepting them for who they are.
Sometimes love looks like letting go….
And sometimes Love is allowing them to pass us by.
But it’s all in the name of love 💕
