When it comes to LOVE, we all have different ideas and thoughts about what LOVE IS. Thats the beauty of love, it can mean different things to different people all based on their own understanding and experience. But, although we might all have different definitions of LOVE, one thing remains common in all our interpretations and that is “Love is Ever Present”.
The fact that Love IS always there, everywhere and in everything in and around us, is the most binding factor for us as Human(e) race. Just accepting this fact can lead to that positive shift within us and within this Lovely Loving Universe.
Love being Ever Present just goes to show that we are all LOVE, We are all ONE! No you, no me, just LOVE.
HAPPY VALENTINES Day to You all! I love Valentine’s Day, cause its sole focus is LOVE. I hope with all our understanding and our experiences we can come to the Universal conclusion to make Everyday LOVE DAY! Why celebrate love only on one day of the year..right?
Have I got you all warm and love fuzzy as yet?? I hope so…cause what you are going to read further will surely put you in the mood for LOVE.
Here are some of the most beautiful people, Loving friends, Bloggers and Writers from around the world sharing their “Love is…” Definitions. Go Love Fuzzy today and everyday!! (in no particular order, cause I love them all so much!)
Nadia @ Happy Lotus says:
“Love is what life is all about. Everything around us is an embodiment of love. Many times people talk about wanting to be loved but actually the ability to give love is far greater and when all has been said and done, the amount of love you gave in/to life is what ultimately matters. For every thing and every action, at its core, is love.”
***********************************************
Joy @ Unfolding Your Path to Joy says:
“Love is: opening my heart to the moment as it is. No expectation, no label. When I open my heart to the moment, miracles may be worked in me and through me. Love is the most power filled, peace filled, beauty filled force. We do not have to earn it, we can do nothing to lose it, we just have to open our hearts to it.”
***********************************************
Katie @ Momentum Gathering says:
“Love is looking into your daughter’s eyes when she’s speaking to you, holding a door for a stranger, and recycling a tin can. It is all those things. It is extending compassion and kindness not only to those who love you, but to all your fellow human beings and to your world. Love is powerful and simple.”
***********************************************
Jen @ Everyday Bright says:
“LOVE IS…where two people work as hard as they can to make each other happy. One’s dreams cannot be subjugate to the other.
Only mutual generosity brings true and lasting fulfillment.”
***********************************************
Dia @ 2Achieve Your Goals says:
“Love is unconditional. Love is about giving others unconditional love and support without expecting anything in return. We love them for who they are, not because of what they do for us. Love is about wishing others more prosperity, success, health, and peace of mind.”
***********************************************
Preeti AKA ZenGirl @ Happy Heart and Mind says:
“Love is bliss, Love make you complete, Love make you beautiful, Love is feeling that only can be felt. Rise in love, not fall in love.”
***********************************************
Evita @ Evolving Beings says:
“Love is treating oneself, and all other living beings on this planet and in this Universe with respect, care and compassion. Love is not discriminating against or causing intentional harm, through our direct or indirect thoughts, words and actions to any animal, plant or human being. Love is being honest with yourself about who you are, and tuning in to the Universal energy which connects us all as one.”
***********************************************
Arvind @ Make it Happen says:
“Love is the most amazing thing in our lives. It is what makes us human and what makes life worth living. Nothing else truly matters.The size of our homes, bank balances, the beauty of our spouse, the speed of our car – all these things pale into insignificance when we face the splendour of what it is that makes us tick. Love does not make the world go around – it simply makes the ride worthwhile!”
***********************************************
Annabelle @ Get In the Hot Spot says:
“Love is universal. It binds people of all ages and nationalities together and makes the world whole. Love starts with you, the individual, and once you start learning to love yourself you can also begin to share your love with other people. The more love you send out the more you’ll get back. Without love life would be empty and hopeless. Love makes life full of joy and gives it meaning.”
***********************************************
Andrea @ Brite Talk Says:
“Love is a huge river that runs inside all of us; it’s who we truly are. No need to look for love or search for it; we already have it. Love in this pure form is unconditional and has no agenda. It flows from us into the world and returns to us in a beautiful dance. Love is everywhere and in everyone’s face. When you open into the awareness of this love you notice that love is all there is!”
***********************************************
Angela @ Powered By Intuition says:
“Love is forgiving. As I’ve matured I have come to realize that the romantic notion of love is a myth and that there is no perfect person, nor perfect love. More than ever, I now understand why, “To love is human, but to forgive is divine.”
***********************************************
Anastasiya @ Balance In Me says:
“Love is a beautiful feeling that makes you a better person than you could ever imagine to be. Love completes you in the ways that you never thought of. Love gives you courage and support even when nobody else does. It is the pathway to the ultimate gratitude, compassion, understanding and joy. Everything is possible if you open your heart to unconditional love and give yourself away to your loved ones. True love (not passion or affection) purifies you, clarifies your vision of the world and brings you in the state of ultimate balance.”
***********************************************
Farnoosh @ Prolific living says:
“Love is in the emptiness of your heart as you miss your spouse (or your life partner) even after a heated argument.Love is in the tears you fight back when you watch the happiness of a loved one unfold before you.Love is in the butterflies in your stomach right before meeting your soul mate after a separation.”
***********************************************
M @ The Exception says:
“Love is – the beauty of the caterpillar and the butterfly. The courage of the caterpillar to transform and to risk the only life it knows for the unknown – and then to learn to fly. it is love that allows one to listen, to follow one’s heart, and to take the risks…and it is love that embraces and supports – internally and externally. Love is the detachment, the appreciation, the acceptance, the compassion… Love is everything!”
***********************************************
Robin @ Naked In Eden says:
“Love is not something we fall into, love is who we ARE. Love is all of creation, from the tiniest, most delicate cell in our bodies to the most distant star in the universe. Love simply IS.”
***********************************************
AbuBakar @ Self Improvement Blog says:
“Love is what makes us human and humane. Love is what differentiates us from other life forms. Love is what motivates us to give priority to the well being and happiness of the people we love, over our own. Love is the only reason, why we humans are still surviving and thriving, in spite of all the hate, hostility, prejudice and selfishness that surrounds us. Without love, the World, will end in a matter of minutes.”
***********************************************
Suzie @ Suzie Cheel says:
“Love is what comes from within, loves know no boundaries, love opens the doors to freedom and joy. Love conquers our fears. Love opens ones soul to a higher place where sharing love openly allows us to shine. Love ask nothing in return. Love allows me to be at peace, Namaste.”
***********************************************
Lisis @ Quest for Balance says:
“Love is one-sided, because it makes no difference if the other person loves us or not. If they reciprocate, we have a special relationship (romantic, familial, or friendly). If not, we still Love them and truly want what is best for them.”
***********************************************
Sherri @ Serene Journey says:
“Love is being secure and allowing yourself and others to BE without judgement. Love is never hurtful. Love is standing in and standing up for those most dear to you.”
***********************************************
Sandra @ Always Well Within says:
“The Buddhist View of Love-Love is the wish for all beings to have happiness and the causes of happiness. It is the antidote to anger because anger and love cannot coexist. It is the first of the Four Immeasurables: love, compassion, joy, and equanimity. Compassion is the wish for others to be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. Joy is to rejoice in whatever happiness others have. Equanimity means extending our love to all. By practicing these four qualities, you will become a refreshing source of happiness for others.”
***********************************************
Nea @ Self Improvement Saga says:
“Love is the core of everything pure, wholesome and right in the world. Love is the glue that holds together families, friends, communities, lives. Love is the one thing without which everything else falls apart.”
***********************************************
Rosemary @ Offbeat Woman says:
“Love is the invisible transferring of all that we are to support others in their time of need. It’s that precious moment when our own ego ceases to exist as we reach out to salve distress in another sentient being. It’s also that moment when two hearts seep into each other on an enchanted wave of fusion and transcendence.”
***********************************************
Sara @ A Sharing Connection says:
“Love is connecting…With the Universe through the river of sacredness that flows through us all.With other people at the soul level that knows no boundaries of time or place.With the wisdom that lies deep inside each of us, ready to ignite our spirits.”
***********************************************
Adrinne @ Experience Life Fully says :
“Love is a feeling, Love is an expression, Love is a language, But above all, love is an action. Love is something you do, Something you become, Something you are. It’s a commodity many search for, But often never find, But when you go through the motions, Love is never far behind. Thinking about love Is a good place to start. But true love, Lives always in your heart.”

I’m overflowing with emotion right now as I read all the beautiful and soul-filled responses to your question: Love is…..
Love is everything – and yet it is so personal and individualized too.
When we say: Love is all there is – it is so true.
Thank you so much for including me in your brilliant post and with all these other brilliant bloggers.

HI TiTi,

Thank you for your loving comment here.
Much love~
Love is an ache to connect, to succor, to heal. Love is universal, beating deeply within our core. I must love you, because you are me. Take my hand, and dance with me, love.
Hi Jeanie,
Ohhh what a beautiful definition of love!
Oh lets do the love dance….you and me hand in hand…so beautiful! You’re making me smile wide girl!
Thank you for your amazing comment here..and welcome to the Positive Provocations community.
Much love~
Hi Zeenat:
Wow, these are some great definitions of love. Here in the U.S. there’s a cartoon comic that has been popular in our local newspaper for as long as I can remember called “Love Is…” Back when I was in high school, all the girls would cut out these one panel comics that showed different examples of love.
Your post today and all the different responses you’ve received makes me realize that love means so many different things for each of us. But I also know that all of us are really also looking for the same thing. I hope that doesn’t sound too contradicting. Anyhow, thanks for another very insightful post!
Hi Tim,
Ohh that Love is comic is still my favorite. They now have an online site 🙂 Ohh I cant believe I’m so girly 🙂 And here I thought I had matured…but hey, love is love right….it grows it matures with us. And youre right it can mean different things to different people…and yes we are all looking for LOVE in some way or form, hence making us really look fro the same thing. So no contradiction 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this post tim. Thank you fro your lovely thoughts on love too!
Much Love~
Hi Zeenat,
What a fabulous compilation of what love is! It makes me think of how many ways there are to perceive this world, life and reality, as even when we are talking about love, there are so many explanations and definitions. We all think we are talking about the same thing…. but the truth is, we seldom are.
This is beautiful, but even more so….it is giving me something deeper to think about… thank you for doing this 🙂
Hi Evita,
You know my hubby always says “Its all a matter of perception” and your comment really means that too. Each of us with our own unique perception, thought patterns etc….the result is different, yet satisfying..and it all boils down to LOVE…in whatever shape or form.Its the necessity of the hour and the healing balm we all need.
So glad you liked this and that you are thinking deep deep beautiful thoughts…which can only mean one thing-another awesome post coming from you soon 😉
Thank you fro your contribution here Evita. Loved it!
SO Much Love to you~
Love is a key for every lock.
Love is an opening through all roads blocked.
You can’t live without it.
You can’t get enough.
It adapts to each need,
and becomes soft or tough.
Love lives within us, but outside us too.
The repair for despair is to say,
“I love you.”
(It’s quite unusual for me to attempt even simple verse, so I KNOW I’m getting good energy from your posts, Zeenat. Thank you.)
Hi Mikey,
Oh what gorgeous Love prose!!! I bow to thee 🙂
I’m so so happy that my blog is providin you with just the right energy to attempt such brilliant prose. I would love to take credit fro it all, but its your heart that shares these wonderful wonderful words…and hey thy heart deserves all the credit 🙂
Lovely to see you here and read your words..thank you!
So Much Love~
Zeenat,
I smiled through this entire post. Yes, you got me fuzzy. This is the goal and the path expressed so simply in your article: “No you, no me, just LOVE.” Thanks for all the love and joy you spread everyday.
HI Sandra,
Fuzzy wuzzy love crazy hmmmm 🙂
We are all so divinely connected with love cause we are love……I’m glad you liked this article and thank you for your loving definition 🙂
Lots of love~
Dear lovely Zeenat,
This just gives me chills!! Thanks so much for the opportunity to contribute to something so beautiful. This is one of those posts that I will save and come back to again and again. Like Evita said, it really does give me so much more perspective…and so much more to ponder. Even if Valentine’s Day can be seen as a cheesy Hallmark holiday, this just goes to show how much good can come out of all that silliness. 😉 Thanks for sharing the love!
Dear sweet Adrienne,
I am just so ecstatic that you were able to send me your beautiful words. Isnt all this love just out of this world…and the perspectives are like wow! I think if we can take the wisdom in all these definitions we will have material to write articles for the rest of our life.
And yes love is love…hallmark has just well “cashed in” on the occasion 😉
Thank you for your lovely comment here and for your beautiful words!
Much Love~
