Tip #35: Learn to Love

I must learn to love the fool in me; the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.”
-Theodore Isaac Rubin

Love is an action. It’s not simply a thought or a feeling – it’s something that we can consciously do. It’s a way of life.

It’s important to remember that we need to love ourselves before we are capable of loving someone else. By loving ourselves we accept that we are worthy of loving another and we are prepared to share ourselves with them. This is self-acceptance at its best – appreciating who we are and being comfortable with giving a part of that to others.

Because love is an action we can live our lives within that state and according to its role – what a beautiful place to be, every moment of the day.
