Be Love to Find It

Sometimes I feel like I am going on a mission, setting out to find love.  The actual realization of love, however, manifests itself when I am not thinking about finding love but am, in fact, showing love myself.  Love is what I am, it's what made me, and it's what will bring meaning to my life.  Every experience I have and every person I encounter is the result of the decisions I've made in the past and the goals I have for the future.  For example, if I have recently given a part of me to someone else and I continue to have the goal of giving, I will unexpectedly receive things from others that make me happier.  In order to receive, however, I must understand the feeling of giving so that I can genuinely respond to everything I receive.  Giving itself is a happy experience, so essentially, having a goal of happiness is manifested by the act and value of giving out of a place of happiness.  I like to constantly remind myself of the love and happiness I want so that I remember to show love and give to others first.
