You can see everything with the eyes of love. You can be aware that there is love all around you.
--- Don Miguel Ruiz ---
In popular culture, this day is typically reserved for people to share their love and compassion with one another. Is love even possible to define? Love comes in many forms: there is romantic love, unconditional love, platonic love. Kids exchange valentines in school, friends, relatives, and partners exchange gifts, but I believe that the best gift you can give yourself this Valentines day is to remember to see with eyes of love. I believe it's true that there is love all around, all we have to do is look for it, or open our eyes to it. One way to start seeing with eyes of love, is to think about all the things you appreciate and are grateful for in this lifetime. The more you list, the more you feel. It's hard to feel fear, anger, frustration, disappointment, when you are listing the things in life for which you are most grateful. At times, it's necessary to acknowledge the difficulties in life on a personal and global level - but despite how easy or how challenging things may be, seeing with the eyes of love can be an extremely powerful process. Happy valentines day!
