LOVE CONQUERS ALL!
By, Kelli Patterson
I'M LOVE, YOUR LOVE, HE'S LOVE, SHE'S LOVE....EVERYBODYS LOVE LOVE <3
Love is not a feeling, thought or action. Love is not a category, symbol, or label. LOVE IS THE TITLE….THE BASIS TO WHICH THE STORY WAS WRITTEN! MAKTUB!
What is love? This is a question that I have heard a thousand times, and
probably had or heard nearly as many answers or responses. I have never thought
of myself as a master or “super skilled” at any one thing, but I must admit, I
think I have mastered one thing in my life, and that is LOVE!!
I know what some of you may be thinking, “How does this girl know
anything? At 34, she has never been married, has no kids, and is single. How
can you consider yourself a master of love?” Simple, I master love because it
is the very essence of my being, the core of my soul that I have taken the time
to connect with and allow to prevail. I think it was the dominant energy force
field that reached far beyond the creation and expansion of the universe.
Written in my DNA, in all of our DNA, in fact, too bad many choose to attach
love to everything except them. Cars, jobs, houses, significant others,
friendships, materialistic goods, a certain food, friends, family, a new shirt
or pair of shoes, a trip or place to visit, these are all things that people
love, when really, when true happiness comes from right inside of each one of
us, love, that many times, people choose to ignore unless they can attach a
symbol, person, place, or thing to which all seem irrelevant when you compare
it to everything that makes you who you are, and how the love within you
chooses to manifest itself in the world around you. No love that can be
attached to anything will ever equate to the process of connecting with, living
upon, and expressing the love that you feel for yourself. It is this love that
will make every relationship and experience spectacular and take it to a level
that could never have been achieved without connecting with the very core of
our being. It changes everything, how you view the world, your ability to
understand and interact with others, how you feel about yourself, your ability
to achieve great things, and how you choose to reflect upon your life, your
passions, and the purpose you were meant to live.
Just because a couple has been
married for a ton of years, people are in healthy relationships, and they are
fully content with the “love” in their lives, does not mean, necessarily, that
they are experts on the topic of “love.” In fact, most of the time, when I ask
others to define love, they cannot even come up a definite answer, or put it
into words or expressions; therefore, just because one is in a successful
relationship doesn’t mean that they are fully aware of what love is or that
they know how to love unconditionally.
Love is not something that you think or show towards someone or something. Love is not an act, deed, or expression that one shows another individual or thing. Love is not the feelings that arise in your body when you are intimate or close with someone. Love is not a bond that two individuals feel. Love is not a reason for enduring pain or seeking fulfillment for something. Love is not a behavior that exhibits itself upon certain situations or experiences. All of these things are the consequences or manifestations that come about through love, but they are not LOVE itself, just meaning, labels, and perceptions that people have attached to it as a way to justify or rationalize their thoughts, feelings, or actions and take ownership over something or to place something in a category, that they call love. I hate to break it to all of you, love should never be used to exhibit ownership, possession, or preference over something, nor should it be used as a way to identify something. All too often, I see people use love as a label for something, or as a type of category to place things in, sad really!
Love is SIMPLE and LOVE is EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING! Love is the core of our very being, the very thought and energy that God used to create the very essence of who we are. When a person truly loves, every word, every action, every thought, and every way that a person chooses to reason and processes thoughts and information is unconsciously fueled by love, a love which is pure, true, free, honest, open, and sincere because real love knows no boundaries and has no borders. Real love is shown in every way that we encounter with the world and others around us, not because we necessarily love our surroundings, but because it is who we are. Love is such a dominant force/drive in our lives, that, to view, act or perceive anything or anyone out of anything but love, would feel uncomfortable, unnatural, and unhealthy because love, acceptance, and compassion are normal, natural, and healthy. When connected with our inner love, we ARE LOVE, we see it, taste it, feel it, and experience it and it shows in everything we do. When one is connected to the love within their core, they are so grateful for every opportunity and experience and feel extremely blessed for have been given the time and life in which to do so and it shows in every way that they react with the world around them. To connect with our essence, our love from which we were created, allows us to view the world in a totally different way. Where some may see difficulty, madness, problems, challenges, crime, poverty, murder, hate, greed, or other negative things, lovers will see and focus on the good in all things, forgive easily, love our enemies as much as our family, and feel a very strong connection with the things/people who share the home we call Earth. These individuals, while feeling confident and secure because of their goodwill and benevolent intentions, and powered by the unstoppable force, known as love, become servant leaders who do everything within their power to serve others, stand up for what is right, and try to leave any place, situation, group, team, family, or community in a better state than which they entered it. Seeing the world through loving eyes will give you the hope, passion, drive, and motivation needed to encourage, inspire, and support others, producing a reality that matches their perception and contributing to the wellbeing of humanity and being a creator of the masterpiece that we will someday know as “WORLD PEACE!”
Love should not only show its face or become known to others when we
feel happy, at ease, or pleasantly surprised or excited about something, on the
contrary, love should radiate and become much more intense when we are faced
with hardships, such as, rejection, fear, trauma, obstacles, war, threat from
others or our environment, economic and political turmoil, and other major
threats to our wellbeing or stability.
God knew this when creating us, with love at the core, because he knew that there would be evil, temptations, disagreements, differences in opinions, fight for power, government collapse, etc. and he knew that it would be the ONE antidote that would cure or solve all of the world’s problems. We must realize this in times of crisis, and in those times, be sure to always act upon this inner and complete essence within us because those individuals, who have not connected with their essence, will fail to look out for anyone but themselves. Powerful people will tempt people with money, resources, or unrealistic and deceitful and misleading ideologies, in order to gain their trust and commitment. Those individuals who are out of that “inner circle” could possibly succumb to fear and give into a “survival of the fittest” mentality, causing them to lookout for number one (or possibly their immediate family/loved ones) and do things that they feel that they “must” in order to be safe and free of harm. This will only lead people further away from the love God has placed within us, and cause more separation of people, fights and war being fought for resources needed for survival, and cause chaos and crisis in this world. For those who seek power and dominance or to be superior over others, our fears will allow them to gain ultimate wealth and cause others to suffer. We MUST connect with our core, inner love and not just think it, act on it, or be it sometimes; we must give into it and allow it to flow. No matter what our emotions, perceptions, reasoning, or environments may tell us, we must love freely, unconditionally, and break down any and all barriers that could separate us from others. No matter what religion, political party, race, financial bracket, status/title, education level, past, etc. we are….all of it is irrelevant if we stop focusing on those issues and just LOVE all people, both, those we consider good and those we may view as bad. This will allow us to unite, build trust, and prove that we care just as much for others as we do ourselves. In doing so, even those who may be critical of our kindness and not have faith in our words and actions, will come to realize that we can do this, all of us, healthy and happy, but only through love and unity. The governments, people, nations, groups, and individuals around the world who seek power or dominance over others for their own selfish and greedy reasons will, no matter how rich or powerful, not be able to measure up to the good intentions, visions of happiness, health, equality, and everyone on this Earth being healthy and nurtured.
If there are individuals who wish to do you harm, conquer you, gain your
acceptance, give false promises, or display power over you rather than
empowering you, it is crucial that you step back and be sure that you have
connected to your fully encompassing and complete loving essence and trusting
in its ability to be strong and prevalent, especially in those trying times. When
one has mastered connecting with their core; temptations, other’s actions, and
threats of harm will seize to have any affect upon you because your good
intentions, altruistic actions, and your vision of a loving and peaceful future
are worth risking everything for, even your own life. No longer does anything
or anyone stand in the way or veer you off course from a world that you know
will exist someday, and you will do whatever it takes to be the change, hope,
and person that you wish to see in others. No matter what one could say or do
to you, you realize that the most important thing in this world is to love
yourself, which, in order to do so, must include loving others as much as
yourself. It is not possible to have one without the other. As you give into
the flow of love, no longer does anyone control your actions or choose your
path, because you, whether win or lose, die or live, or pass or fail, you know
that your essence and love will follow you on whatever journey your life (or
afterlife) could send you sailing upon. Eventually, discovering and staying
true to your core will lead you back to where your story began when you were
nothing more than a vision in God’s mind. A vision in which God chose to give
us the ability to discover and live a life fueled on natural energy, love that
he has engrained in every part of our very existence.
Pretty awesome when you consider the fact that, at one point in time, we
were just a thought, an idea, and a vision, in God’s mind. It was God’s faith
in his vision for the future than gave him the confidence to act upon his
vision and to create a loving environment for us to thrive, together, in peace.
The same drive and motivation that God had when envisioning and creating us, we
must replicate in our visions of a brighter future. We must reach deep down and
take the love that lives within each of us and use it as building blocks to
build something beautiful in this world. I mean, isn’t this the reason God has placed
it within us in the first place? The same faith that God had in mankind, we
must also have in our fellow humans, and learn to appreciate the gift of life
that he has blessed us with.
Give away your power by loving all people, even those who have wronged you because love is unconditional and cannot be turned off like a light switch. When your love is pure and true, it is relevant in every aspect of your life. We do not choose when, what, or who to love, but rather, love chooses us as soon as we let down our guard and face our fears. You can always trust in love, so go ahead, hand over the keys and let it take you on the wildest, most passionate, incredible, and magical ride that your mind could ever conceive. By succumbing to love and allowing it to flow freely and steadily, love gives us the strength to overcome anything that could normally defeat, discourage, or condemn us and will allow us to remain on our path that God had intended for us, a path of complete passion, purpose, and fulfillment.
So love like never before, love all people, love all animals, love
plants and our beautiful earth, love the spiritual world, love others unique
qualities and traits, and most importantly, love YOURSELF because you will
never truly love anyone else if you don’t connect with your core being, and
love and accept all that makes you who you are. Love is forgiving, love is
enduring, love is unconditional, love is the protector, and love is everything
that is good in this world. Never allow others actions cause you to show them
anything but love because, in doing so, would cause you to distance yourself
from the love inside of yourself and disconnect you with the Divine beings who
are waiting there to gently guide you towards a life where magic does happen,
dreams do come true, and life filled with limitless possibilities for
adventure, growth, and wisdom. One thing is for sure, I may be single, but I
love like no other and I don’t just show, think, talk about, or display love…I LIVE
LOVE, I AM LOVE!
. Eventually, it will be proven, LOVE TRULY DOES CONQUER ALL!
Love is not a feeling, thought or action. Love is not a category, symbol, or label. LOVE IS THE TITLE….THE BASIS TO WHICH THE STORY WAS WRITTEN! MAKTUB!

We must realize this in times of crisis, and be sure to always
center ourselves and act upon this inner and complete essence within us .Eventually, as we begin to change the culture of our world, those individuals,
who have not connected with their essence and who fail to look out for anyone but
themselves, will someday have to choose to change for the better because they will lose thier power and privelige when they do not have meaningful, respectful, and trusting relationships, clients to buy thier products because they have other choices, people begin to care less about the materialistic world and more about the spiritual and inner world, and people find that they do not have to follow a leader, a government, rules, laws, or a society that they do not believe in or feel as if it is in EVERYONES best interests. Powerful people will tempt others with money, resources, or unrealistic
and deceitful and misleading ideologies, in order to gain their trust, loyalty, and
commitment, even when the person knows, in thier heart, that what they are doing is morally wrong. Those individuals who are out of that “inner circle” of the priveliged few or do not have access to food, shelter, money, gas, water, etc. could possibly
succumb to fear and give into a “survival of the fittest” mentality, causing
them to lookout for number one (or possibly their immediate family/loved ones)
and do things that they feel that they “must” in order to survive.
We, as citizens, must realize this now, with these extreme times of policical changes and new rules, laws, and UNJUSTIFIED actions of our governement, and work together to come up with solutions that will empower individuals and create peace and harmony, through nurturing, advocacy, mental health resources, involving ourselves by paying attention to warning signs and not being afraid to become involved, rehabiitation, contribution, education, mentoring, and compassion and whit, not by taking away guns, forcing people to get/have health insurance, telling or forcing people to do things, or abusing the power that was given to you. We must lead, role model, and peacefully protest for the things we believe in and stand up for ourselves, not allow ourselves to be pushed around or intimidated by individuals, society, or government or authority.
If we choose to allow the actions of others and the demands of life, society, and the governement determine our moods, actions, thoughts, and behaviors, we have lost the trust, in ourselves and in them. This will only lead people further away from the love God has placed
within us, and cause more separation of people, fights and war being fought for
resources needed for survival, and cause chaos and crisis in this world. For
those who seek power and dominance or to be superior over others, our fears
will allow them to gain ultimate wealth and cause others to suffer.
