True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Unconditional love is the only true love. It has nothing to do with getting needs met. True love is a state of being, where giving occurs naturally with no strings attached. Love is a choice to be in that state of true giving: when you can say ‘I love you, but it is no concern of yours’. When you can genuinely not worry about what comes back, only then are you giving love. There’s an infinite supply of this kind of love, but it is rare. The more love you give, the more becomes available for you to give. It’s like being a channel for an invisible physical substance to flow through you. Love is your true inner nature, but it only flows when you choose to give and receive it for yourself first. Then you can freely give to others from the overflow of your heart.
People commonly advise that ‘love will occur when you least expect it to happen’. What this actually means is that love will occur after you have learned to satisfy your own needs rather than looking for someone else to come along and fill the gaping holes inside of you. All those children’s fairy tales were parables about joining head and heart, marrying left and right brain hemispheres, valuing both logic and feelings, and becoming a whole human being. It’s a mistake to think that someone should be your ‘other half’. Until two whole human beings are present, all that is possible is to prop each other up and barter over who gets their needs met. Because no one can ever satisfy your needs but you, invariably making someone else responsible for your happiness will end in disappointment.
Happiness depends on how well you satisfy each of the six basic needs. Where you focus your attention most will also impact your fulfillment, purpose and joy. Life can only feel meaningless when some of these needs are not addressed. So how well do you meet these six basic needs?
