Love is an "Ability."

8/14/2020

 
Sharon Salzberg reminds us that love is an ability. If you want to strengthen your ability to love, try online counseling in FL with Amy Rose.
I recently read these wise words from Sharon Salzberg, "Love is an ability," and I've been contemplating them ever since.  The word ability means to possess the skill or an innate capability to do something. I like thinking of Love as an innate capability that all of us have.  This means we can't lose love and no one can take it from us either, and this  can be both a comforting and challenging idea at the same time!

I believe that our ability to give and receive love is always a  choice, and that slowing down, taking a deep breath and becoming aware of your heart, is the practice that will connect you to the world inside of you, where you can access this ability to love. The good news is, this ability isn't dependent on circumstances and events in the world outside of you!

If you are feeling lonely or disconnected with the pandemic swirling all around us, this may be a hard idea to accept. That's why I like to think of  Love as an ability.   Just like any other ability we possess, the more we practice using it, the more skillful we become. What a wonderful desire to aspire to -  becoming more skillful in love!    

If you are struggling with how to give and receive love in your relationships, I would love to help you with this.  You can click on my Services page to learn more about online counseling with me, anywhere in Florida.  If you want to read more posts - you can click on my Blog.

    I’ve always loved the word Delight! To me it means “of the light” and with all the darkness and fear in the world today, I wanted to create a place where we can gather together, restore our connection to the light and help one another to Delight The World with love, kindness, gentleness, beauty, compassion and grace. —Amy Rose, LCSW
