More Love

/

Two words can solve a lot of our problems: more love.

When you aren’t sure what to do, what the next step is, or how to solve the problem, try more love.

More love for ourselves. 

More love in our relationships. 

More love for people we don’t understand. 

More love in our families.

More love in our places of work. 

More love for people in pain. 

More love in our communities. 

Where can you give more love this week? 

The kind of love that makes you think: 

  • I want the best for this person. 

  • I don’t need to be right.

  • I can let this irritation pass.

  • I know their soul is loving. 

  • Their essence is good.

  • They are worthy of love.

  • I’m grateful for them in my life. 

  • I don’t want to do harm or add to their suffering. 

You may be thinking I already am loving, but they aren’t. That might be true, but try taking your love giving up one notch more. 

People who aren’t behaving in loving ways are the most in need of love. 

Their behaviors are a cry for love. Bad behavior often stems from a lack of love for themselves or for other people. The absence of love is the root cause.

However, love doesn’t mean being a doormat for abuse. “More love” for you right now might look like loving yourself more than you ever have before and removing yourself from an abusive situation at work, home, or school. 

Whether it is more love for yourself or more love for others, try to be intentional about more love this week and see what you notice. 

I think you’ll find what you give comes back to you in profound ways. 

Smile to the person you see, wait patiently, hold the door, let them go in front, speak to the person who doesn’t get spoken to, make the donation, resist correcting someone, send the text, say the I love you, admit the mistake, apologize, be gentle, release judgement, and be the love in the room. 

If loving people like you love more, we can move the needle for humanity. 

Let’s give it a go.

More love,
