Psychology of Love
Together...
You said that you think people are born with their destinies set. To a degree, maybe, but I also believe that when we are born, in front of each of us lies a series of projects...projects we can choose, or choose not to undertake. In choosing not to work through these, we seal our fate—we live our destiny. In choosing, however, to face and complete the projects, we open doors—not only for ourselves, but for others who will follow.
Some of this work is universal—learning to love, for example; finding our Source, and therefore our connectedness to all things; taking responsibility for ourselves and our perception and experience of the world around us...these are the first steps, and ongoing, for all who wish to find happiness and live life to it’s fullest.
Other work, however, is individual—it is laid out with our names carved throughout, begging for our very personal attention. For some, this might require facing pain in its most extreme sense...others will fight to find humility and peace. Many will be caretakers of those who cannot care for themselves. Some will bring greater joy to the world by sharing an innate sense of what the majority find entertaining. Sometimes we will be aware of the projects in which we have agreed to be active, other times, we simply find ourselves working, often unable to define what we are doing or where we are.
Reactive, distractible, independent—my current project, of which I am well aware, is to find balance...to consider, while not taking responsibility for any one else’s feelings as I react; to learn to engage without running to extremes...
And so I met you. Balanced, successful, consistent, perceptive...you, in simply being and sharing your presence, bring me face to face with my self. You take things personally, when you shouldn’t, yet therefore making me more aware of my lack of awareness of another’s feelings and entirely separate perception of life. Your giving and protecting nature forces me to
