Love is free from Selfishness

Mother Teresa continues to teach us..."To love, it is necessary to give: to give it is necessary to be free from selfishness." (page 233,The Joy in Loving)

Most of love is achieved when we are free of selfishness. Selfishness comes from more self awareness than other-awareness. We become self absorbed, and this kills love. Love is other-aware, and thus other focused. We lose ourselves in our vision for others. We become one with what we see. They are a part of us, so loving them is easy.

Free yourself today from selfishness, and find yourself being more loving.
