No One Can Give You Any More Love Than You Already Have
Have you ever thought everything was fine in your relationship, only to have your partner state that he has been upset with you, or unhappy about something for
a while? You didn't know that they were feeling this way, you were walking around happy and in love. Yet, this person was already not loving you as much, but
since you weren't aware of it, you were still giving yourself permission to feel the love. You weren't in love because he or she was loving you. You were in love
because you gave yourself permission to be in love.
Imagine your partner does something to show you his love - he puts his arm around you, or kisses you and says something sweet, or gives you a thoughtful
present. Feel this rush of love in your heart? Ask yourself, did he just give you an injection of love into your body? Did he pour a glass of love down your throat?
Did he put love inside of you? What did he actually give you?
Why are you feeling more love in that moment? Because he gave you something that you are using as an opportunity to feel good about yourself, to feel more
of your own love, that you already have. Nothing he did actually added to the volume of your love, you did that all by yourself.
No one can ever add to your love, no one can ever subtract from your love. You already have an infinite supply.
Stop Giving Other People Credit for Your Own Love
A major personal breakthrough you will make is when you recognise how you may be giving other people credit for the love you are feeling, rather than realising
it is your own love.
Imagine you are taking a walk on the beach with your beloved, gazing out at the beautiful ocean, feeling the sun's warmth on your skin. Joy and love rise up
within your heart and in your state of euphoria and love, you turn to your partner and say "You are so wonderful. I love you. I love being here with you. You
make me so happy."
What are you really feeling in that moment? You are feeling the surge of your own love, joy, and gratitude for life. Was your partner "making" you happy, making
you feel loved? No – you are assigning your own happiness and love to them. It's not that you don’t adore being there with them, that it doesn't add to your fulfilment,
it’s just the fact that the source of your love is within you.
I'm not saying you should like everything a partner does, but to turn the love off and on because he didn't fulfil your expectations is just a game your mind is
playing with itself. "I will let my own love rise up under these conditions, but not under these." I’m not saying that this awakening will remove the sense of loss
when a person leaves your life, what I am saying is that once you realise that the source of your love, joy and happiness is within you, it will help the healing
process dramatically.
Now, take another step in your journey to happiness. Apply the same principles mentioned above to the happiness that exists in your life. Pretty soon you will
realise that happiness, just like your love, is sourced within you and the feelings you assigned to them. Stop assigning happiness and love to others and you will Page397
see happiness and love magically reappear in your life.
