Abstract: Happiness and love are the two primary aspects of life that most people yearn for. The combination of the two sets us up for true joy and the ability to increase our tolerance when things get rough. They go hand-in-hand and have commonalities such as the release of similar neurotransmitters and the enhancement of our sense of self. Love does not have to pertain to a romantic relationship; it can be focused on loving family, friends, pets, yourself, or a way of being.
Happiness and Love have 4 Things in Common
By Diane Wing. M.A.
Happiness and love are the two primary aspects of life that most people yearn for. The combination of the two sets us up for true joy and the ability to increase our tolerance when things get rough. They go hand-in-hand and have commonalities such as the release of similar neurotransmitters and the enhancement of our sense of self.
Love does not have to pertain to a romantic relationship; it can be focused on loving family, friends, pets, yourself, or a way of being. It can be triggered by a love of doing a particular activity such as creating, fishing, or walking in nature. The sensation and feeling are ultimately the same as in a romantic relationship.
Those who feel that these are not the same as having a significant other are missing out on types of love that are just as powerful yet may go unexplored as a result of this belief. Intimacy is the keynote of significant relationships and means to have a sense of belonging together and feeling close. This can be achieved through healthy contact with like-minded others who have a deep sense of caring for each other.
The need to feel loved is what draws us into relationships; to have that one person who is trusted above all others and who has our highest good at heart. That one person who makes us feel safe and who we can be ourselves with. And many say that when we find that person, then we will be happy. Yet the commonalities between love and happiness are so profound that one need not exist without the other and the definition of significant relationships does not need to be so rigid.
It is time to move away from compartmentalizing love and happiness and see the links between them and the conditions under which they can coexist. Find ways to put these ideas into play in your own life and experience a profound combination of love and happiness that will help tap into the best life has to offer.
