Once love knocks on the door it makes you feel alive. It gives you substance, and it makes you feel centered. However, the opening to love is just the beginning, and awareness is the other half.

We all have our reasons for going into a relationship, but the main reason is to continually honor yourself while honoring another. This can be a challenge for some, if they are not grounded emotionally and rely too much on the insight of their romantic partner. The key to staying centered is to tune in to your greatest desires. When you are tuned in to your greatest desires, you can freely give yourself away without feeling so much sacrifice.

When you are not tuned in, you think too much about compensation, and that can only lead to disappointment. Another example of not being tuned in is focusing on what the other partner wants to hear rather than speaking your truth. Not speaking your truth can only result into resentment. If you can't always speak your truth, who's going to believe you?

Only can say what your greatest desires are. These can be attributes, values or goals you have set for yourself. Your greatest desire is where your treasure really is. It is your true purpose in life. When great desires are fulfilled, a mature type of love can blossom.
