the power of love

The Power of Love

Love isn’t just a fuzzy concept dating sites talk about

It’s the fundamental motive force behind every great human accomplishment…

and all of humanity.

Every human being needs love

We have the capacity to move mountains to help other people

And yet, we forget to love ourselves all the time

Loving yourself means having dignity

You’re not willing to lie, cheat, steal, take advantage of, or hurt other people

Because you respect yourself too much

Imagine a world where every single human being truly loved themselves…

There would be no war.

There would be no poverty.

There would be no violence.

There would be creativity.

There would be sharing.

There would be community.

There would be compassion.

There would be peace.

Our basic goodness shines through even in the worst situations.

It starts with finding it in your heart to love yourself.

Thank you for being you.
