Motivational Minute -- Happy Valentine's Day! (12_016)


Quote of the day:

“Life is short. Be swift to love! Make haste to be kind!”--Henri Frederic Amiel philosopher and writer (1821-1881)

Consider:

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I heard this story about someone who was always seeking a new love, but never finding one that satisfied or lasted, the reason being,  this person was always seeking to get love, to receive love, to be loved. One day, someone suggested to the seeker of love, that perhaps they needed to learn how to give love—to love unselfishly for the benefit and happiness of another. After years of searching, these words hit home as an entirely new thought that had never occurred before. And so, they decided to give it a try and set out in pursuit of someone they could “give” love to. It wasn’t long before they found what they were looking for all along—all because they went in search of someone whom they could make happy by giving love to them.

If you've been looking for someone to make you happy, why not try reversing the process—look for someone who you can make happy, and then happiness will find you!

Give no thought to whether you have a special significant other or not on this day of love for the most important thing is that you give love to others. Make the World your Valentine and be swift to love and to be kind as the quote says.

Happy Loving,

Coach Dana
