Love Means Freedom (from THE POWER by Rhonda Byrne)

Lately i come across one really good book named THE POWER. For those who read THE SECRET before, i am sure you will be interested in this book as well. Let me share with you some parts of this book which capture my attention.

The Power and Relationship: Love Means Freedom

Now here is the tricky bit with giving love in relationships, and it's the one thing that has prevented many from receiving the life they deserve. It is only tricky because people have misunderstood what it means to give love to others. To be very clear about what it means to give love to others, you need to understand what it means not to give love to others.
              
                    Trying to change another person is not giving love! Thinking you know what is best for another person is not giving love! Thinking you are right and anotherr person is wrong is not giving love! Criticizing, blaming, complaining, nagging, or finding fault with another person is not giving love!

"Hate is not conquered by hate. Hate is conquered by love. This is a law eternal"

Gautama Buddha

                   

 You cannot deny someone else's right to choose what they want, because that is not giving love. It is a bitter ill to swallow when your heart is breaking, but you must respect everyone's freedom and right to choose. What you give to another person you receive it yourself, and when you deny another person's feedom to choose, you will attract negative things that deny your own freedom. Maybe the flow of money to you decreases, or your health weakens, or maybe your job takes a downturn, because all of these things would affect your freedom. There is no other person for the law of attraction. What you give out to others, you give to yourself.

                    Giving love to other person does not mean you let people walk all over you or abuse you in any way, because that 's not giving love either. Allowing another person to use you does not help that person, and it surely does not help you. Love is tough, and we learn and grow through its law, and as part of that learning we experience consequences. So it is not love to allow another person to use or abuse you. The answer is, get yourself onto the highest frequency of good feelings that you can, and the force of love will resolve the situation for you.
