This is a response to a response to my last video
which is about the power of love and marriage. This guy commented and said
"true love? It's not modern".
What's he saying that true love is old-fashioned? We don't need it anymore? We outgrew it?
When I saw l those words, "true love is not modern"
I want to cry. A lot of people are selling out of love.
People are giving up on the belief that they will ever create
a lasting, loving relationship. Often
it's because we've been hurt. Beliefs are powerful.
They are like self-fulfilling prophecies. If we believe we can't love
we are not going to be able to. If we believe we can
were already halfway there and we can.
You see there is one thing that's never going to change ever
that is our need for love. Our need to be loved,
our need to be able to love someone else. Just like our body needs water to
to live, we need love to live. We'll always need the real deal -
Long lasting love. To get back on our feet
we have got to start believing in forever again. Have you noticed that the word forever has become a
bad word?
People say to me "Really? Do you think I could be with one person
forever? That sounds so boring". Well at least Hollywood movies are
still into forever. And we still go we keep going to to those movies.
Why? Because deep down inside
we all want "forever" but so many of us are afraid of "forever"
because we don't see its benefits. "Forever"
means when you mess up and we all will,
you are going to get a chance to fix it. You are going to have an awesome security.
Forever means someone's always got your back.
Forever means whatever life throws at you
someone's in there with you. Forever means
you don't grow old alone. Lately I have been interviewing people about why they are getting
married in an
anti-marriage society. This one guy, a performer on West End in London told me
marriage beautifies what you are.
"I did want to be with my girlfriend for the rest of my life not just until
I got fed up".
I think marriage proves how seriously you are about being together - forever.
"Forever" is not about your grandparents,
it's about you, now. Hollywood is still
pushing "forever" but it never tells us how to get there.
So here's a tip to get you started. #1:
Never stop dating - your spouse I mean.
Keep going out and having fun together. #2:
A relationship needs to be dynamic to keep growing
and discover new inspiring things about each other,
especially how you complete and balance each other.
#3: Remember love is a verb.
Keep giving. What goes around comes around and finally,
never stop believing in forever. Only If you
really believe in it can become your reality.
And by the way true love is modern.
