Like the Beattles say “All you need is love.” It can have
other meanings and not just a day for people who have a spouse. Love can mean
what you do that brings you joy and happiness, it can also mean a favorite
thing to do among anything else and it can also mean how you share it with
other people in a variety of ways. If you’re a strongman and you have love for
strength, go lift something heavy today, bend some steel, rip a few decks of cards, have fun with what you want to do. If you’re a movie fan, go to a
favorite movie or watch your favorites at home and enjoy yourself. Like I said,
love has other meanings.
My personal
view of Valentines Day is not one always shares because today is suppose to be
a celebration of love, hearts, candies, flowers and other things with couples.
My way of looking at it is, it isn't really necessary; you don’t need one
little day to share love for your spouse or whatever because love comes and
goes everyday but it’s how you keep a special love for something or someone in
a state of mind. I like to treat it any other day but just a tad different. I
like to treat it as a day where I give thanks for the love I have for others,
even when certain circumstances come into play and I do things I love to do
like train and share my love for fitness to each and every one of you because
it is my passion and my heart runs deep with it.
If you have
a spouse and you spend this day together; make it count and be happy and share
things together. Are you by yourself? No problem, go out and do something that
makes you happy, perk up just a little bit and smile for no apparent reason.
Forget the roses, candies, box of chocolates, balloons or whatever; love what
you have and do and grab a hold of it a little extra hard and be happy with
yourself. Let your heart run a little more than usual. You don’t always need
one day to share love; it’s a state of mind.
I believe
in self-love. If you can’t love who you are, then you haven’t really lived.
Some people look at self-love as being selfish and don’t care about anyone
else; I believe that’s called Narcissism. Granted some people are downright
loathing of others and only care about themselves but real self-love is where
you appreciate and enjoy life with who you are from the inside and bring
universal strength and love for yourself. You can always love others or hate
others that’s your choice but there’s only one of you and that makes you unique
and something special. This isn't bragging about loving yourself and talking
down to people, it’s about being true to who you are and spreading that energy
to others in a beautiful and productive way.
Happy
Valentine’s Day guys and share the love you have with your loved ones or just
with yourself and have fun with what you love to do. Be strong, smile and be a
loving person.
