Let’s examine the relationship between Love and Happiness. Will love bring you happiness? This is not a question to be taken lightly, but one which requires a great deal of reflection on your part. I can honestly say, however, that the moments you spend pondering this query will be time well spent.
Love is a very powerful emotion, which can bring about feelings of happiness yet at times, can cause pain and sorrow as well. Still, one of the most famous quotations on the subject comes from Saint Augustine, “’Tis better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.” A bit corny perhaps, but quite astute!
The precursor to experiencing healthy, loving relationships with others is to have the ability to love yourself first and foremost. It is particularly important to be able to love yourself and realize that you alone are a truly unique individual. There is no one else alive that is exactly like you. Once you begin to appreciate that for the very essence of what it means, it will be easier to experience love and happiness.
Once you are comfortable with who you are, it is time to venture out and find meaningful relationships with others. Building lasting friendships and finding a significant other or possible soul mate can significantly add to your own life’s happiness. However, it is important to ultimately understand that you alone are responsible for your own happiness. Once you depend on, or expect someone or something else to make you happy, you are setting yourself up for a major disappointment. These days, there are endless venues for meeting, interacting with, and getting to know people both online and off. All of which may contribute to love and happiness. Gone are the days of the shallow singles bars where the deepest of conversations began with the all important question, “Hey, what’s your sign?”
You can meet others in a variety of places and settings from your local Church or Temple, to classes or seminars offered by your local Community College, to the latest "Speed Dating" events that are held all across the Country, where you can meet many different people in one evening and decide right on the spot, who you would like to get to know better. Additionally, there are many online forums available where you can choose people that have interests that are directly in line with your own. There is no limit to the amount of screening you can do before you decide to take the leap and decide to meet someone in person. I have assembled some of the best resources for finding and screening others who share your values and beliefs. Additionally, I have listed some books on the subject as well. Enjoy these resources, and remember, your feedback is always greatly appreciated! For instance, one of my visitors pointed out that she had a less than pleasant experience with someone she met at one particular online dating site. That site is not listed below, however, you always need to be careful when getting to know someone online. These sites can be the beginning of a wonderful adventure, but like with anything else in life, they also get their share of undesirable characters. Just be cautious and have fun!
