Can You Feel It?

Can you feel it? It’s all around us. It created, sustains, and connects us. It is all that really exists. It is Love.

Only love can soften a hard heart. Only love can renew trust after it has been shattered. Only love can inspire acts of genuine self-sacrifice. Only love can free us from the tyrannizing effects of fear. There is nothing more important in life than learning to love and be loved.

Love is seen in how we treat people. Let’s not make others feel like something is wrong with them just because they don’t do things our way. We don’t need great malice to cause great harm—the absence of empathy and understanding is enough.

Encourage someone—life is short. The world already has plenty of critics. Be the person who breaks the cycle. If you were judged, choose understanding. If you were rejected, choose acceptance. If you were shamed, choose compassion. Be the person you needed when you were hurting, not the one who hurt you.

Vow to be better than what broke you. Heal instead of becoming bitter, so you can act from your heart—not your pain. If we could spread love as quickly as we spread hate and negativity, what an amazing world this would be!
