"All you need is
L O V E."
How to feel, find, and foster genuine and lasting LOVE.
1. LOVE yourself!

2. Seek Safe Relationships

3. Investing and Maintaining Healthy Relationships
A) Make time
B) Express admiration, appreciation, and affection

("How to Win Friends and Influence People" -Dale Carnegie)
C) Capitalize on a good fortune
D) Manage conflict

E) Share an inner life
Do not f e a r. Be healthy yourself, seek healthy people and a positive relationship that make you and the other person happier and better, and CONSISTENTLY work on bettering yourself and your relationship with the other person so you are able to inspire one another to become stronger, happier, and healthier people. When you remember these three steps and apply the material in each one, you will fill up your soul, mind, and heart with true and lasting love. It is out there, it is real, and it is for you. Just remind yourself those things and never think that you can live in dysfunctional, uneven, love patterns that is forcing you to believe that you are accepting a "love" that you deserve. Remember... In true LOVE, there is NO fear.
