Just a Little Willingness to Love
Author: Rhoberta Shaler, PhD

What is love? A ticklish sensation around the heart that can't be scratched? Something I earn when I do things right? Something I give to get something back? My definition is that love is a willingness to choose to see and respond to the best in another person, even when they are not experiencing or expressing it themselves at the moment. This gives you the opportunity to be loving, no matter what the other is doing! It also requires that you decide to give up petty (and not-so-petty) judgments of others and replace that with the willingness to see them in their best light. Quite a tall order!

Now, how do you recognize love in your life? Do you have a well-defined way of recognizing love coming to you? Is it "it has to look, sound, feel like this or it isn't love"? Or, are you open to seeing, hearing and feeling love in many forms? You can miss a lot of love in your life if you have a narrow, restricting perception of which form is acceptable to you.

How do you express love in your life? Familiar quotes worthy of bringing into application are "Work is love made visible." "Works, not words, are proof of love." and "Service is nothing more than love in work clothes." Consider your expressions of love. Do your words match your actions? Do you say you'll do something for another but "forget" regularly? Are you willing to match your walk with your talk? It seems to me to be a waste of energy to spend much valuable time talking about what I'm going to do, or what I think I should do, when I could be using that time for doing it!

Love also looks a lot like time. When we say we love someone, or, for that matter, that we love to do something, the proof is often in the time we spend with the person or the time we spend doing the activity, isn't it? When I was seeing many couples in my counselling practice, I would often hear the pain as one partner expressed their loneliness, saying, "You do not spend time with me." The demonstration of love means spending time with those you say you love, doesn't it? We've all seen or heard stories about parents who were too busy and missed their children's childhoods. Regretting it later is not nearly as effective as doing it now!

Remember, too, that you cannot give a gift you do not have. Be loving to yourself. Spend time with yourself. Know what you enjoy and do it! It is also important to have good communication skills so that you can communicate to others clearly when you think they are being unloving to you. I think it is unloving to allow others to be unloving to you. We are responsible for teaching people how to treat us! If you do not say anything, you are telling them it is all right with you.

IMPORTANT: If love makes the world go round, we'd better do our bit because the world is turning at 2,000 miles per hour, and we'd get quite a jolt if it stopped.
