Always, Always, Always Go Where The Love Is

 

Someone I love says there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who want love and those who’ve already found it. Whether or not that’s true, it’s pretty easy to figure out which boat we’re in.

The paradox of love is that we can’t give what we don’t have. That’s why we put the oxygen mask on ourselves first, with self-love and self-care. We can’t pour from an empty cup, but we can fill it up by taking our daily meds:

  • Meditation

  • Exercise

  • Diet

  • Sleep

We take our M-E-D-S by making time to reflect and recharge, getting and staying in better shape, eating nutritious food, and getting the good night’s sleep our body needs. Loving ourselves is the first big step to loving others and being loved in return. We get love by giving it away and gain even more love in return. We can’t keep it unless we give it away, and we give it away by doing things like:

  • Volunteering

  • Complimenting others

  • Being kind to strangers

  • Donating to charities

  • Calling people just to tell them we love them

  • Praying for others

  • Appreciating the little things and everyone and everything in our lives

Remember, we can’t get love unless we give love. Give love to ourselves first and then let it spill over onto our neighbors, friends, family, and the people we care most about. Do that, and we might just find that a certain special someone we care for cares about us even more.

It’s one reason I always end every TV show with the simple saying: “Always, always, always go where the love is.” If you haven’t watched my television shows, feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.Susan Foxley's YouTube Channel
