10 Ways to Love

Love

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard but must be felt with the heart.

Helen Keller

There are many ways to show your love and affection. Here are some of them: 

 1. Show your gratitude: When someone has done you a favor, send a thank you letter to show your appreciation. Always be grateful to those who help you in one way or another. 

 2. Celebrate and congratulate: You send birthday wishes to someone on his birthday. You congratulate someone who has just graduated or another friend who has just given birth. You show your jubilation to the success and happiness of others. 

 3. To teach and to educate: When you give a fish to someone it is good for one meal but when you teach him to fish it's good for his whole life. Show others what you know to enrich their lives. 

 4. To forgive: To forgive is to forget. When you pardon someone, your heart will not fill with hatred, anger, or vengeance. You will find peace in your heart and it is good for your soul. 

 5. Courage: Have the courage to fight for what is right. Fight for justice and change the world for the better. 

 6. Humor: Humor allows you to look at the world from a different perspective. Sometimes a good joke is able to get someone out of the blue instantly. 

 7. Respect: Respect means patience, sympathy, and acceptance. You acknowledge the presence of other people in a compassionate way.

 8. Loyalty and trust: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Always be with your friends through thick and thin. Offer yourself to those in need of help. Parents looking after their handicapped children is also a kind of selfless giving and love. 

 9. Compassionate: Have the heart to share the feeling of others. Share the sorrow and sadness of others to demonstrate your sympathy to them. A kind word, a warm embrace, or just your presence can work wonder. 

 10. Listen: When someone talks to you, listen to understand and get the true meaning. You care when you listen with your undivided attention. When you love every day, you will feel happier, healthier and live longer

There is only happiness in life, to love, and to be loved.
