It's like forgiveness. You may have years of therapy, you may pray like mad or meditate with a live guru or participate in seminars; you may try and try and try to forgive. And then there is a moment when you simply choose to forgive. All of that therapy, the guru, the seminars.... they're not what had you forgiving -- you didn't need all that in order to be able to forgive. Maybe you thought you needed it, but really it was just your way of loosening up your choosing muscles -- your way of feeling like you'd earned being forgiving. And you could skip all the preamble and go straight to forgiving, if you choose it.
Same with love -- just choose it.
