Lesson 1

Expanding Your Capacity to Love and Be Loved

If you want to learn to love, then you must start the process of finding out what it is, what qualities make up a loving person and how these are developed. Each person has the potential for love. But potential is never realized without work. —Leo Buscaglia

One reason so many of us do not have the love we are longing for is that we’ve not yet become the people we will need to be in order to attract and sustain that kind of love. Most of us have dramatically elevated our standards of what we expect from a romantic partner far beyond what our parents or grandparents ever expected from their relationships.
