Deep Resilience

Seeking Love vs Being Love

23 Oct 2025

Description

Being Love vs. Seeking LoveWe all want love.We long for the fullness, wholeness, and peace we sense it will bring.But so often, the love we seek feels elusive, and even when we find it, it rarely satisfies us the way we hoped.Erich Fromm, in his classic book The Art of Loving, suggested that our frustration in love comes from a misunderstanding.We chase love without learning the skill of being love.In this episode, I’ll explore two very different approaches:Seeking love: the habitual, ego-driven pursuit of approval, worth, and validationBeing love: a deeper practice of embodying love as your natureYou’ll learn how the mind’s evolutionary wiring sets us up for seeking, and how you can shift from striving to standing in love, from searching to becoming it.Resources & LinksJoin Becoming Love (starts Nov 20): https://melliobrien.com/becoming-love/ Free meditations: https://melliobrien.com/free-meditations/ My book Deep Resilience: https://melliobrien.com/deep-resilience-book/
