When these words “I love you” aren’t enough

Reframing Love Through the Lens of You Quotient…
“Those three words are said too much, they’re not enough” – Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars
I’ve heard this song more times than I can count, but I never truly felt the weight of them – until my search for a reference point to write this, about our interpretation of Love when we possess a deep sense of self, our “You Quotient”.
Valentine’s Day has come and gone for 2025. For some, it was a day of celebration, for others, a reminder of what’s missing. A commercial success built around passion and love for each other. The origins of this time-honoured tradition are not even remotely romantic and speak of sacrifice and martyrdom.

Martyrdom was a sought-after and popular status once – now we are discouraged from being martyrs… Or at least, I should clarify, that’s what my Mom told me – to “stop being a martyr”… 

As often tends to happen, I have once again digressed…😆! 

So back to Love, and those three words not being enough…
One of the core foundations of “You Quotient” centres around helping You discover and nurture your own unique place of Love.

To my mind, I visualise this process in terms of energy – the idea being that if I am able to collapse everything within me, centre myself and focus my feelings on the energy source within and surrounding me, I am able to get connected with a pure place of Love – that has no agenda or expectations, and seeks only to nurture, guide and sustain an environment of peace.

When we move through life anchored in this place, we make a conscious choice to then act or react to people and situations from this place of Love, or not to. Simply put, we respond from a space of calm, kindness, and clarity.

This Love – with a capital L – insulates you. You become calm and centred, developing an innate ability to seek out solutions that serve everyone, and resonate with an energy that is tangible, warm and reassuring.

This place of Love has always been within you – it is only your connection to it that strengthens and weakens, and this is the key to determining who you become, and how you behave.

Those three words become enough when we apply them to everyone and everything…

What do you think? How do you define Love? I’d love to hear from you.
