Motivation Mondays: LOVE

“A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love.” Max Muller

Motivation Mondays: LOVE - Paul Gauguin, When Will You Marry?

Motivation Mondays: LOVE – Paul Gauguin, When Will You Marry?

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. Barbara de Angelis

So what are you doing for Valentine’s Day? This is the mantra we will hear and repeat till the 14th comes and goes. If you have great romantic plans with loved ones, go out and enjoy yourself. Carry that feeling into the rest of the year and beyond your inner circle of family and friends. To those of you who don’t celebrate it, for whatever reason, I say bravo. I hope it means you have conquered the commercialization of this formidable emotion we call LOVE. I hope it means your loved ones know, implicitly, that you are the love god/goddess of your household; you don’t need one day of the year to prove it. Awesome!

On the other hand, if you aren’t celebrating because you don’t believe in love or you think it’s overrated, I say… think again! Did you miss the memo on Self-Love? Or were you busy beating yourself up over that long-lost relationship that coulda-woulda-shoulda? Please get off the pity couch and hug yourself. If nothing else, folks, build your own fantasy valentine, take the day off to pamper yourself, and build castles in the sky. Why must we all celebrate it the same way?

“Where there is love, there is life.” Mahatma Gandhi

Motivation Mondays: LOVE – Barney, Miss Beazley and Kitty; the White House pets.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death. Robert Fulghum

There’s a Story Here: When Will You Marry?
Did you know that the first painting above is by Paul Gauguin and it is called When Will You Marry? Yep. Now think back to Gauguin’s travels and creative expressions. They had to have been inspired by something, someplace in the world, right? In 1891, he traveled to Tahiti for the first time. He imagined a beautiful paradise, with gorgeous women dancing with exotic flowers in their hair. Historians say he created this fantasy in his head and chose to believe that the [Tahitian] natives lived “to sing and to make love.” Gauguin finagled large sums of money from his friends and brought some public attention to the tiny Island. But the truth was that the natives of Tahiti had been ravaged by diseases brought to their land by Europeans who created an international, westernized community.

The women Gauguin portrayed were beautiful, alright, but they had earthly issues like the rest of us. Gauguin tried to reinvent their lives in a romanticized vision of his own making. As Gandhiji said,  where there is love, there is life, right? So while the gorgeous painting above, which, by the way, sold for $300 million in 2015, shows two lovely ladies looking as if they are waiting for their suitors to come and propose, it might all be smoke and mirrors. The backstory might have been that When Will You Marry? was more of a swansong warning the ladies to procreate before they perish… On fanciful occasions like Valentine’s Day, take charge and celebrate your health and freedoms. Keep in mind that those huge bouquets of expensive flowers delivered to Rosa at the office might have come from Rosa. I applaud her! Treat yourself with love, so when love comes calling, you’ll be filled with your own bliss and not be a love vampire. What are you waiting for?

“We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving.” Friedrich Nietzsche

Motivation Mondays: LOVE - Lovebug and Chocolates

Motivation Mondays: LOVE – Lovebug and Chocolates

We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone. Orson Welles

Are you still with me? Paul Tillich, the great philosopher/theologian, once said, “The first duty of love is to listen.” If you want love, you’ve got to become loving,g and it starts with loving YOU. Do you know enough about Valentine’s Day? If you stopped scarfing those truffles for a moment, we can pay homage to the many Christian martyrs named Valentine. Yes, martyrs means they were murdered for various reasons. But the two for whom this venerable holiday is celebrated are Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. Legend has it that Valentine of Rome was jailed because he performed weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry. He was also accused of proselytizing his faith, which was a no-go zone back in the day. Of course, the candy and cookie marketing mavens won’t mention that … they are busy selling you rocks and chocolate blocks. It’s all good, but see the smoke and mirrors for what they are—feeling better now?

Isn’t it ironic? We turn a martyr moment into a merrymaking party. But that is why we must not let ourselves get depressed over this one-day show. Keep in mind that the mantra young men and women hear from their families when they reach a certain age is: When Will You Marry? Of course, in this case, it’s not a swan song like it was for the Gauguin ladies. Our parents want us to be happy, so we attach great romance and fantasy to the idea of marrying. Valentine’s Day reminds those of us who say “Stuff It!” that there might be something more to this gifting, eating, loving, and merrymaking day. The something more is Love thyseDay. Still don’t get it? Have no fear! I shared these stories to let you know that behind every downer is a dance. It’s Motivation Monday. Remember? I mean, if you’re alone, what do you do? I say, get out there and love the heck out of yourself. Celebrate your version of love. Celebrate your accomplishments, your friendships, and your struggles. Love yourself and treat yourself to that piece of jewelry. Go out with friends and celebrate. I know you can do it. You are worthy.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Have a great week!

    It is funny but I was just telling my daughter this weekend that in order to respect others you have to respect yourself, and the same goes for love. We can not expect to get it, if we are not willing to receive it. And to do that you have to be able to listen and accept. Happy Hearts Day!

    There’s a saying: No one is an island.
    No one could be alone. I believe that.

    But love today often seems to be a commodity and an option.
    Loving oneself can be described as just taking care of ourself correctly, everyone can survive with just air, food and water and maybe some exercise.
    It’s true that without such love, one cannot survive.

    Yet that love itself cannot sustain a life alone.

    But then again, yes, it’s all a matter of perspective. People only become victims when we allow ourselves to be victimised. So yeah, get out there and celebrate life and love. 🙂

    Oh boy I am not looking forward to valentines day, it’s not because of failed past relationships, which were a few, it’s not about self love, because I love myself enough to see when things are right for me, and to not allow anyone to tell me otherwise, it’s probably just the constant questions, why don’t you go out on a date with someone, just how long has it been since your last relationship, etc. It’s kinda a drag, I still believe in love, but I just don+t want to be with someone just for the sake of not being alone, I want something fulfilling and meaningful.
