Every human interaction is an opportunity for giving love.
All of us are either offering love or expressing our big need to be loved. There's nothing else.
Both situations give us the opportunity to share love with the other.
If love is what we are, then every human interaction in an opportunity to express ourselves.
Human relationships are binary: They are complete and fully loving (when both people are authentic, open hearted and completely honest) or they are not at all. A relationship is about recognizing (re-cognizing, or re-knowing) the other as the beautiful soul that he or she is. When we see in them something else that is not love, we are actually not seeing the other. We are talking to an image in our mind that we made about the other. We are literally talking to nobody.
We've all been through friendships, romantic relationships, work or family relations in which we knew that we were not authentic, not comfortable to have an open heart and fully express ourselves truthfully. If we don't express who we really are, if we don't express truth and love in relationships, they simply become a state of isolation with somebody (some body) still around. This state of isolation seems like a relationship but it's not. Relationships exist only in truth and love, not in mental images. Think about it.

HuffPost's GPS for the Soul app is based on two truths about human beings. First: We all have a centered place of wisdom, harmony and balance within us. Second: We're all going to veer away from that place, again and again and again. What we need is a great course-correcting mechanism -- a GPS for the Soul -- to help us find our way back to that centered place, from which everything is possible.
Because no one knows better than you what helps you de-stress and tap into that place of peace inside yourself, it's important for you to create your very own GPS guide -- a personalized collection of whatever helps you course-correct. Email us at GPS@huffingtonpost.com and we'll set you up with your very own HuffPost blogger account to share your guide on the site. If you're already a blogger, we encourage you to upload your personal guide today. We can't wait to see what you have to share.
