Girls Just Wanna Be Loved

In the 20th Century:
The goal is to be loved.

In the 21st Century:
The goal is to live a life of love.

Everyone wants to be loved.

But there’s something even better…

Loving.

I don’t quite remember when it occurred to me.

I was probably thinking about everyone I loved at the time, sitting in my garden, sipping coffee, feeling grateful.

I like looking after the things and people I love.

That’s what makes me happiest.

Knowing that I am loved back is wonderful, but it’s not quite as wonderful as loving.

Loving is what fills my heart with joy.

Try this…

Step 1.
Think about everything and everyone you love. From the smallest (like cute red ladybugs) to the largest (like God).

Step 2.
Think about how much your romantic partner, friends, and family love you.

Step 3.
Ask yourself: “How much did my heart expand with each step?”
