How to Know the Difference between Love and Relationship

We can learn how to recognize the differences between love and relationship. They are the intention, desire, negotiation, the deal, and the awakening. This is what love is. This is what love is not.

Intention

An intention precedes the decision to a course of action. Desire is a hunger for a person, place, or thing. Intention requires the desire to achieve a hoped-for experience that will end in profit and feel good. A deal is the result of an agreement of an individual with herself or himself or with another or others. Awakening is the result of an inward grace of enlightenment to love without conditions and prejudice.

Relationship

Relationship results from the discovery of shared interests with another or others. Individuals reveal the details of their hopes and dreams. Negotiation begins to what each will contribute to the achievement of considered goals. A proposal follows each participant must consider before a covenant agreement reached. If the agreement becomes formal, a mission statement with standards for activity goes into effect. Each may now immediately begin to share in the works and the benefits of their covenant relationship.

Love

An awakening is the result of an inward grace of enlightenment to love without conditions and prejudice. Love is an intense and awakened awareness of the needs and privileges to demonstrate care and appreciation for self, others, and life. Love calls us to our highest level of conscious awareness to give of ourselves to the people liberation and empowerment. Our internal worlds, our hearts enlarge.

Quality of relationship is possible among individuals, couples, or groups sharing common interests, established standards for activity, and agreement to manage responsibilities contributing to defined goals. Desired outcomes prompt highest-level performance of responsibilities. Success requires the highest-level contribution of all participants in the established sequence of activities and events.

Love is a consciousness of caring for self, others, and all of life without judgment. This is what love is. Love is not transactional. Love does not negotiate for a quid pro quo. This is what love is not. Love is the desired intention to love without condition in ways that care for self, others, and life. Love knows no other way.

Pray you experience the relationship of shared awakened love. It will liberate you, empower you, give to you, and share the joys of the good times with you and the not so good times with you.

Center your hopes on living the awakened love as the foundation of all your relationships. May awakened love be the energy of your coupled and shared love from moment to moment all of your life. Live in it with all your consciousness and be happy. Be happy.
