What is true love and abundance really? We live in a day and age where there is so much confusion, disconnect from our true spirit and over-commercialization happening.
Take February 14th as an example. Valentine's Day in its purity is not a bad day, at all. Traditionally it was a day to show love to your romance. It can also be a good day to extend that love and appreciation to your family, parents, children, friends and most of all - yourself.
However, the purity of the concept has been taken...
... and turned into something else. Nowadays, a lot of portals of pain and heartache can be opened up during this day due to the pressure and expectation society, the media, and others put on this day.
Of course we know why this is - in addition to Christmas, Mother's Day and a few other "inverted" holidays (meaning they've been twisted from the original sentiment), Valentine's Day is no a feast fest for over-commercialization.
The pressure is on:
Buy chocolates, buy expensive presents, go for dinner, go to a spa - do SOMETHING otherwise your love is not real. According to the mainstream.
When in reality everyone shows their love differently and the abundance of love that we have for each and everyone of us cannot be squeezed into one little day anyhow. Nor do we really need to be reminded of love like that - like sheep following an agenda. However, we are - and that is the tragedy of this day.
And when this happens a lot of portals of unfulfilled wishes, hurt and pain are created. The pressure to squeeze that love into one single day and appease the person one is with is immense.
And this is not fair towards anyone. There is no winning really - when one party gets hurt, the other one suffers, as well.
This in turn can affect an otherwise healthy relationship and put unnecessary pressure on a partner. Or really interfere with this relationship.
It can also negatively impact people...
... who are single and feel extra alone on this day. However, in most recent years the trend towards self-love has been strong and that is certainly counter-acting this time of year.
This day and weekend ahead, please be reminded that you already carry so much abundance with you. No matter what your circumstances are!
We are truly so abundant in our essence already and no material thing or "holiday" can take this away from us!
