Love Is What Really Matters

Love is what really matters in life. Everything is meant to serve that most basic of all needs, the need compelled by the heart and the soul.

But it is easy to lose track of what really matters as we get emotionally caught up in considerations of the ego: Envy, pettiness, the desire to have more things than we need or our fears and insecurities for what we think others think of us. These are just superficial matters.

We can grow beyond this superficiality. The first step is forgiveness, starting with yourself. For as you grow wiser, and understand the purpose for your existence and the existence of everyone else, you will let go of ego driven matters and concentrate on what really is important.

The foundation of your happiness, the whole purpose for your existence is love, as it is for each of us. The more love you can express by your acts of kindness and generosity, and by your hugs, handshakes and words of encouragement, the greater will be your accomplishments.

For as if by magic your family and the family that is all of mankind will be drawn to you as you serve their greatest need. And as they are drawn to you and you help to fulfill their greatest need, you will find the beauty and the meaningful life you have been seeking.
