Love is powerful. This month, we often celebrate the romantic aspect of love with the popular gifts of flowers and chocolates. Perhaps even an engagement ring! But love is so much more, isn’t it?
People confuse love with an emotion, especially those euphoric feelings when one falls in love with that special someone. But love is found in every relationship. It is widely considered that humans are “wired for love” as our brains, inner circuits, and hormones drive us toward connection. It is a fundamental need of ours, not a luxury
In truth, love is a way of being. When we move beyond love as a fleeting emotion to a conscious choice and mindset, our entire approach to life changes. Our focus turns to kindness, compassion, and presence, which then cultivates openness, honesty, and trust.
We do this in our ordinary lives. We can show up with love in the way we speak to others, how we listen, in the kindness we offer when no one is watching. It’s the text that says, “How are you?” Or arriving with a hot coffee and a helping hand. These are the little things that make a huge difference.
Each of us has the power to change someone’s day, an outlook, a situation . . . Not because we’re extraordinary, but by being compassionate, present, and loving in the ways we can.
So, let’s celebrate love in our lives as we share it with one another. Just don’t forget to shower that love on yourself, too!
