Take some time today to show your love to others. We sometimes get caught up in our own lives that we forget to show others in our lives that we love them. This is not showing them in ways that you would want someone to show you love - that's the Golden Rule. If you are a follower you know that I don't agree with the Golden Rule, instead we need to practice the Platinum Rule (Why We Should NOT follow the Golden Rule).
Today, pay attention to what the other person wants and treat them how THEY want to be treated. If you are not sure how that person defines love then watch how they treat others (or you). If they listen to you intently then they perceive this as a loving act so you should listen to them intently. If they want to spend time with the people they love then that is how they will feel loved.
The key is to focus on the other person's needs from the other person's perspective - NOT your perspective! Think about what this cartoon shows:
This is not a sign of love but a sign of egocentric thinking.
So, today, please focus on the needs of someone else as a sign of love but do not do it with the expectation of getting something in return. Show love to just show love and no other reason. It will make your life better!
Here's one of my favorite quotes! Everyone deserves to love and be loved. Have a great Sunday my Dragonfly Friends!
