The One Thing You
Should Never Save
Whitney
Houston sang about it and so did the Jackson Five. I’m not a big fan of
guessing games, so I’ll just tell you that the one thing you should never save
is love.
Love cannot be quantified nor can it
be forced in to a system or sold on a love stock exchange. Love can be
withheld, stopped, shut down; and still Love will never cease.
Love can
never be made into a pie and then thought of in terms of a zero sum power where
if you give up some to one person, everyone else gets less.
Love never
fails.
The more
love you give, the more you get, so why are we so stingy with love?
This week
and every week that follows, I’d like you to join me on an experiment. Every
morning, make a list of ways to be more loving.
Send a note
to someone you’ve been thinking of, compliment a stranger. Say “I love you” to
folks who would not expect it and make a note of the reactions.
Make
observations on how you feel when you extend love. Is the reaction immediate?
How long does it last? Are some folks more receptive than others?
Love is the one thing that should
never be kept, saved or stored away; love must be lived, shared and renewed.
Join me in
love and share your observations with others.
I love you.
Be you, be well, be
loving.
