They say our actions and our words are a result of where our hearts are. We make sure those who we love are remembered. We call them. We remember them in Facebook posts – Facebook even helps us with “Facebook memories”! We reminisce with them. We make plans to climb the highest mountains with them when our bodies are healed and ready for the “next” adventure. Why? Because we love them. And we want everyone to know we love them.
Most everyone needs love. And you can give that love! Whether it is a person who needs food, or a person who needs kind words, or a person who needs a break because life is tough, or a friend who you make plans to see in the future, or to climb that next mountain together. These are the ways we demonstrate our love.
But sometimes it is exhausting, to give love to people. They aren’t in the same place in their lives, or maybe they are busy loving other people more than recharging you. Sure you can love them, but then somehow you need to find a way to get recharged yourself.
So love everyone as best you can, and especially love your person. Today might be the last day of your life, or it might be the last day of their life. Love today. Fill your life with people who make it clear they deserve your love. Those people are not exhausting. Together, you will be able to love others more than you can do so alone.
Find your person. Let go of your past. Let go of your fear. Let go of your plans. Let go of your life. And find your rhythm together … with your person.
