Daily Gratitude: Use this affirmation as we head toward the end of the year. Perhaps it’s time to redefine our love – what is is and what it’s not.

Love is not meant to have any strings attached. There should be no fear, no sense of obligation and love, of all things, should not be bound by survival. So many people are forced to love someone (can you really force yourself or someone else to love) in order to survive.

Use this affirmation to cleanse your heart….and maybe even your mind. Start fresh. Don’t force anything. Allow God or the universe to bless you with love.

After releasing this altered love, make it a point to live your life giving love. Everywhere you go you should look for an opportunity to give that love. It really is much better to give than to receive. The emotions generated when giving to others far outweigh those of getting a gift. It feels so much better!

Give love. That plus the cleansing actions of this affirmation will enrich your life in 2026 more than you can imagine.
