Loving Your Partner

Love is a journey of truly finding ourselves. Our partners truly make our greatest teachers. I learned from reading Byron Katie's Question your Thinking, Change The World that the things about our partner we don't like are really projections of things we don't like about ourselves.

Katie states, "There is no mistake about the person you are with; he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out…There's never a mistake in the universe. So if your partner is angry, good. If there are things about him you consider flaws, good, because these flaws are your own, you are projecting them…People go to India to find a guru, you don't have to, you are living with one. Your partner will give you everything you need for your own freedom…When you don't love the other person it hurts, because love is your very self." This quote alone has been truly inspirational to me in progressing deeper into my relationship with myself and my fiancée. It is truly awakening and inspirational to love without limit, and without restriction or fear because now I truly love myself. Flaws become stepping stones for learning, fears become reasons to try harder to reach goals, sadness becomes a reason to find inspiration and happiness. Once you hold the key to love in your own heart life becomes limitless. Much love to you not only this month but this lifetime. Remember you are not only what you think, but what you love.

Namaste and Much Love to You!
