Today’s Motivation I LOVE

I LOVE

Love is your behavior towards others. Love has many
meanings. It can mean an intense feeling of affection,
an emotion or emotional state.

“Conquer the angry man by love. ~ Buddha

"In love, one and one are one." ~ Jean-Paul Sartre

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
~ Mother Teresa

"Whenever you are confronted with an opponent,
conquer him with love." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

In daily use, love usually refers to interpersonal love.

Interpersonal love is love between human beings, and is
more sympathetic than the notion of very much liking for
another. Although feelings are usually reciprocal, there
can also be unrequited love. Interpersonal love is usually
found in an interpersonal relationship, such as between
family members, friends, and couples. However, people
often express love for other people outside of these relation-
ships through compassionate outreach and volunteering.

Some elements that are often present in interpersonal love:

    *      Affection: appreciation of other
    *      Attachment: satisfying basic emotional needs
    *      Reciprocation: if love is mutual
    *      Commitment: a desire to maintain love
    *      Emotional intimacy: sharing emotions and feelings
    *      Kinship: family bonds
    *      Passion: desire
    *      Physical intimacy: sharing of personal space
    *      Self-interest: desiring rewards
    *      Service: desire to help

Successful people win because they love what they do. All
of them have a very strong desire to succeed. They have
passion for their field, their business.

Passion is the single fastest way to spur yourself to massive
success. It is something you love. Something you're excited
about. Something you get up early to work on or to stay up
late.

What is Love?
The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real. If you focus on
the name, you lose the substance.
So, can Love be defined?
No, if we live it.
And yes, for all other purposes.
~ Lao Tzu.
