Why is love our greatest pleasure and deepest pain? In this episode of Today I Am Alive! Margaret dives into the five types of love and why re-programming your mind and harnessing the magical power of self-love will lead to greater happiness and well-being. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

• There are five types of love. Number one, sexual love, is based on desires and attractions only. Number two is family love between the mother, father, brothers and sisters. Number three is friendship, kingship and what some might call bloody love. 

 

• Love type number four is spiritual love, what we might call unconditional love for everyone and love type number five is arguably the most important, it is self-love.

 

• It's time to harness the power of self-love within and the magic of its existence. Our outside programming conditions have us believe self-love is vain, selfish, self-centred, egotistical and an excess of self-interest.

 

• There is a clear underlying message, we are conditioned to love, but we haven't been conditioned to love ourselves. Self-love is not selfish, it’s selfless with self-care and self-interest. 

 

BEST MOMENTS 

“Programmed beliefs are reinforced by our family, society, religion, education and our culture.” 

“We are also conditioned to feel guilty if we don't stick to those patterns of behaviour.”

“Reprogramming your mind begins with self-love.”

“Growing up, I was one of many who thought there was only one kind of love. There was a concept that has been deeply entwined within us to love others.”

“I have learned that the myths and illusions about love aren’t true. The fabrication that was told to us at a young age, that’s programmed in our mind is a lie.”

A few years ago, Margaret underwent several life-threatening traumas, including domestic abuse, and almost killed by her ex-partner, kidney and brain cancer, mental health issues, and a near-death experience. Her life was encapsulated in darkness, and she welcome the thought of dying. From a breakdown to a breakthrough, these words from Viktor Frankl’s book, Man's Search For Meaning, changed her life forever: “The existence of life is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in suffering.” Once she came aware of this, her life changed, and choose to live each day like it's her last…
