Is It Real Love? Here’s How To Tell
You don’t “fall” in love, you build it.
Here’s the truth about love: It’s something that two people choose to come together and build between them. It’s not some magical and mystical cloud that descends upon chosen couples while they’re strolling in the park, fusing them together forever — though, that would be nice.
I think that a lot of people, though, are waiting for that divine moment when they know for sure that this is the feeling they’ve been waiting their entire life for…
And, yes, much of love is rooted in those strong emotions, bonds, and connections we feel with another person. That is the very essence of love itself, how it feels to us.
But, feelings are the result of actions, and can quickly fade over time if those actions are not present.
I’m writing this article because of a recent conversation with a private client who’s working through the decision of whether or not he wants to build a life with the woman he is currently dating. Is it love? Is this the right decision? Is he ready for this level of commitment?
It really got me thinking — how do we define love and what it looks like? What actions represent it, and how it shows up in our life?
