1) Love is when your wife throws your clothes out of the house because you used the wrong utenstil to make Maggi but you still say sorry to her because you know it’s not her, it’s the hormonal imbalances because of her postnatal depression.

2) Love is when your husband binge drinks every night but you relate to that because you understand that that’s his present way of dealing with the helplessness of his life.

3) Love is when your father didn’t give you time when you were a child but you empathize with that and know he kept working late hours only for securing your own future.

4) Love is when your mother has an affair with some man but you still accept her because you understand whatever she’s doing is to fill some void in her life.

5) Love is when your best friend has cut off from you for 10 years but you don’t hold any anger because you understand why he is so mad at you.

Love is unconditional acceptance.
Love is understanding.
Love is empathy.
Love is forgiveness.

You know.. there are two kinds of people in our lives.
Those who matter.
And those who don’t.

I often tell clients – when someone matters to you, think twice before saying you love them.
Because what is love really?
Love is a lifelong commitment.

If someone really drives you nuts, take a break from them, go on a long drive, binge watch a web series, eat some ice cream, get yourself a kitten.. I mean do whatever. But never let the emotion of love leave your heart. It is what makes us human beings so special.

P.S. Dedicated to all my extraordinary clients who make me believe in love. (BTW ALL the examples in this post are from my clients.. you guys rock.. may the power be with you.)
