Love is the Map to your Destination

Scientists tell us that without the presence of the cohesive force amongst atoms that compromise the globe of ours, it would crumble to pieces and we would cease to exist; and even as there is a cohesive force in blind matter, so must there be in all things animate, and that name for that cohesive force among animate beings is love.

— MK Gandhi

As gas fuels the car, love fuels our passions. Behind every passion is a deep reservoir of love. I’m truly convinced that love is the stickiest glue in the world. It keeps us going, even when times get hard. It holds us together when we feel like we’ve shattered into a million pieces. It gets us up in the morning when our bodies would rather sleep for a few more hours. Yes, love is the vital ingredient in any recipe of success.

To love each other. To love the work we’re doing. To love our job. Our business. Our opportunities. Families. Even the jerk who does everything in the world to make our day a living hell… yes, to love him too!

Love isn’t the stamp, but the whole letter. And I don’t think that one can love one thing and hate another. Or hate one thing and love another. It’s just love. Loving the things you hate and even hating the things you love. That’s the whole thing.

The more I experience this unfettered love, the more passionate I become about everything. The less annoyed I become about the things that bother me. And the more I harmonize with life’s rhythm.

A lot of people who read Mind Petals are entrepreneurs, creatives, and intellectuals. Many of you are also on a path of going deeper into yourself and connecting with the Source. And I would also dare to presume that everyone reading this is on the journey of Truth.

So I will say that no matter what your journey is, I am wholeheartedly convinced that love is absolutely the map to your destination.
