Yet, love has an essence that resists defining in any single way — it encompasses compassion, determination, tolerance, endurance, support, faith, and much more. If you're in the dark about how to love, this article should give you some food for thought, and perhaps teach you a little bit about how to love yourself, love the world, and love other people just a little bit more. EPISODE 1 What Love Looks Like 1. Acknowledge the breadth of love . Love isn't simply about romance — to define it so narrowly is to deprive yourself of the beauty and full extent of love. Love is a feeling, drive, or emotion that we experience usually with people, but also with pursuits, other animals, and nature in general. If you're looking for it, love can be found in many places, situations and relationships. * Love is shared between people — our parents and children, siblings, spouses and partners, dates, friends, neighbors, community members and humanity. *It's found in the passion for the things you do in your life, including work, hobbies, volunteering and the like; it can be found when you're at your most creative, or "in the flow." * Love happens when you embrace the wonderful awesomeness of life, as you acknowledge how incredible this world really is, how intricate and complex life is. *Love is found in observing nature, in spending time with companion animals, and in learning about other living beings in the world. *Love is at its most giving when it is altruistic, shown to a stranger we may never meet again. * Love cannot be pigeonholed — it's never just or only one thing; it happens whenever your heart is open to receiving beauty and wonder of people, things and events around you. 2. Begin to recognize what love isn't . Because love can't be pigeonholed, it's sometimes hard to say it is one things and it isn't another. But in general, people agree that love is selfless, lasting, and larger than yourself. In general, people also agree that love isn't the same as: - Feelings of lust (e.g., purely sexual interest) -Ownership or control (co-dependency or manipulation) -Obsessive worrying (over-involved parenting or a spouse always checking up) - Neediness (insecurity or low self-esteem) and so forth. - Love isn't a tool for using people or binding them to your side; if you find yourself calling these actions "love," it may be a good idea to investigate what other people mean by love. 6Like · · Share Blessing Onuorah, Funmi Ayandosu and Eddiecuteboy Jostified Ezenyinwa like this.
