Now that Valentines Day is over can I share some important love lessons that I’ve learned and am still learning as both a married and single adult?
1. Learn to love past your point of pain. Do the inner work to heal properly so that you don’t damage, dishonor, discard or even push away your GOD sent gifts. Never make the ones who presently love you pay for how others mishandled you in the past.
2. You must fall deeply in love with you first before anyone else will. The way in which you honor yourself will project outwardly, setting the standard and boundaries for others to come up to in their relation to you. Who you attract mirrors how you view and value your true self.
3. Tap into your playful and flirty side. Pamper yourself with indulgent self-care and dress up often, even for bed.
4. Singles: Snap out of the daydream that life starts and ends with a mate. Celebrate the love that you already have. Enjoy your children, friends, coworkers, cousins, and most importantly yourself. Travel NOW! Go to that Michelin resturant NOW! Wear that sexy scent NOW! Live, drive, and wear what you want NOW!
5. Marrieds: Stop it with the constant fault finding and cherish the love that you have. Wake up from the illusion that you alone are the prize while only giving minimal effort into the marriage. Cover your spouse in prayer, be their biggest support, keep the passion kindled, look and smell amazing, indulge them privately, and honor them publicly. Never put another before them, and whatever you did to get them do it to the 10th power to keep them. There are some real thirsty and disrespectful men and women out here looking to snatch up your blessing.
Remember to release those endorphins, smile, be positively happy and confident ; and either watch the gift that GOD has for you come your way, or witness the blessing that you currently possess evolve into an everlasting happiness.
Simply put, position and open yourself up for love. Not just on Valentine’s Day … but everyday.
