The Love of the Other is Not a Favor
Today I came to tell you that when the other loves you, he is not doing you a favor. Many people regard receiving love from each other as a favor.
If you react this way, that energy goes to the other. Soon the other thinks he’s doing you a favor. Soon the other thinks that paying attention is doing you a favor. And if he does not pay attention, he’s not doing anything too much. Soon the other thinks that if he treats himself with affection he is doing something great. And if he treats you badly, he’s not doing anything too much.
Have you noticed? Because? Because sometimes you feel so small and so undeserving that you start to think it’s a great thing what the other does when he loves you. When he does a kindness, when he expresses this love. See if it happens in your life and do not let it be so. It is not the favor the other to love you. It is not! It is your merit, conquest yours.
Receive, know how to receive and create a balance of exchange. You know how we do it? We do not thank each other for their love, we love them as well. We give it back, we exchange it, that’s how we do to keep the relationship in balance. Equilibrium of exchange. Love is a two-way street. Position yourself, recognize your worth. Learn to receive love.
“Oh good that you did it for me” “Oh I need you.” Do not need! Do not beg, do not. You do not need. You need you. You need you. If you fill with your love you will see if you need someone’s love.
