One of the strongest emotions humans have is LOVE. I am sure you know all about love and its deeper meanings, or do you? Let’s talk to about where love comes from and the many kinds of love.

Our parents and more specifically, our Mother, is the first person to teach us how to love someone in a pure and honest way. Let’s explore each kind of love and learn how to celebrate more than just romantic love every day of the year.

Start by loving yourself in a kind and grateful way rather than an egotistical or narcissistic way. Really care about your life by living with intention and consideration for yourself.

Next, learn to love “learning” for the joy of understanding something new or trying a new skill. The passionate pursuit of knowledge and wisdom that fulfills us is so vital to our happiness and success in life.

Loving people like you and different from you is also an essential kind of love. The awareness of how many similarities we have with different cultures across the world should inspire love in you. Truly accepting our common humanity and successful co-existence on this planet creates loving and caring communities.

Another kind of essential love is the pursuit of personal development and personal growth. This is a loving journey to becoming the best version of yourself.

Finally, we come to loving life itself and the blessing of being alive to see the wonders of the world. Appreciating the gift of existence and the opportunity to do so much good in life should be like a halo we wear throughout life.

Go beyond the commercialized celebrations of February 14th and express sincere gratitude to those who instructed you on the many kinds of LOVE in the world!
