Five Ways To Love Life

This is what I have learned from one of The Feast that I have previously attended. It is worth sharing, too so here it goes.

1. Love Yourself.

You cannot be happy with someone else if you cannot be happy on your own.

One should be able to differentiate loving one’s self from being self-centered, though. Loving yourself does not mean prioritizing yourself over others. To put it simply, we should be able to accept our flaws and and celebrate our own goodness before we get to be able to give love and appreciation to others.

2. Love The Idea of Falling in Love

Being able to love is the gift, not the person.

Sometimes, we tend to focus on whatever it is that we will gain when we love someone. We also think that everything that we give must be reciprocated, if not being doubled. But it is now time to realize that loving in itself is what’s making the whole experience remarkable. Same goes with the saying, “happiness is not the endgame but it is the journey itself.”

3. Love God.

Pretty self-explanatory. In putting Him first, that’s the start of acceptance that life is not all about you. Being selfless is when we can give and love more. And when we are overflowing with love, that’s the time that we get motivated to show and express our acts of love towards ourselves and to others.

4. Love to Love.

A simple act of kindness can do different things to people.

It may be a simple thing to you, but to others it could be their everything. Smiling and saying good morning can boost their serotonin all day. Say, a shared knowledge could save one’s life should there come a time for emergencies or sort. A simple “how are you?” can divert one’s mind from all the worries and stress acquired throughout the day and more.

5. Love the Life You Live.

Make the best of each day. Live as if it is your last, they say. You only have one life so might as well live it to the fullest... responsibly.

Love, always.
