Give Love
*This post is the fifth in the Life-Debt Series. An inside look at living your life to its fullest.
What else can help you balance your life? Is it a spreadsheet or a ten-step how-to guide? Is it a shelf full of self-help books? It can be a combination of all those things, but one component that must be in play is simple and free: love.
I fought Nathanael when he wanted to make me watch the movie “Love Actually.” It didn’t look appealing to me. Boy was I wrong. Not only is it funny, but it has great comedy! Therefore, instead of me writing a long piece about love, I thought I would post five of my favorite quotes on love.
“Keep away from people who belittle our ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that yo, too, can become great.” - Mark Twain
“What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Do all things with love.” - Og Mandino
“Love is life. And if you miss love, you miss life.” - Leo Buscaglia
“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion… love actually is all around.” - Prime Minister from “Love Actually”
