Love as a verb, not a noun
Many of us spend our lives seeking love - the magical feeling, the perfect relationship, the ideal partner. We daydream about love as some blissful destination just over the horizon. But what if love is not just a noun, but a verb - something we do rather than acquire?
When we practice love in action, we transcend chasing the idea of love. We shift from being loved to giving love through understanding, patience, forgiveness and service.
Love as a daily practice is smiling at strangers and listening generously. It's providing support without expectation. It's extending kindness to those who are unkind. Practicing love transforms each encounter into a chance to heal and connect.
Love as a verb is not dependent on how we feel or whether love is returned. It's a choice we make moment to moment. It means seeing beyond surface personalities to our shared essence.
When love becomes how you live rather than what you seek, your world transforms. You realize your capacity to uplift others is limitless. People feel valued in your presence. You have become love's embodiment.
So be love in action - be understanding, empathic, compassionate. Don't look for love - become the source. For when you practice love the verb instead of chasing love the noun, you'll find that you're already surrounded by it.
