What is your “Love is…”?

Love that lasts is love that is chosen. Love may begin with a feeling, but it is expressed through our choice to take action. Love that never fails is love that never stops trying. If you don’t fall in love, you will not fall out of love. When you choose to “go there” in love, that is human … when you choose to “stay there” in love, that is divine.

What is your “Love is…”?  Until you decide what “Love is …” to you, you will always be looking for someone to make you FEEL what love is. Your “Love is…” will determine not only how you give love, but how you receive love.  Once you know what your “Love is…” is, you can love yourself that way and in turn love others.

Love is a God-gift and to work it must be given and received. People who don’t know how to be loved are people who have made love about themselves. Great lovers don’t love people how they naturally show love. Rather, they intentionally find what says, “I love you” to others and then strategically and intentionally love others in that way. Great lovers love others they way that THEY need to be loved.

So, what does love have to do with leadership?

The more you love, the more you learn. The more you learn, the better you will lead. The better you lead, the better your life becomes!
