How much love can you infuse in your daily actions?

Not love in the romantic sense, but love as described by the ancient Greeks as Agape.  Agape is known as the modern concept of altruism, defined as unselfish concern for the welfare of others.

What if you could find or express love in some of your simple, almost overlooked actions throughout your day?

You could express love for an individual as you

Hold the door open for them

Let them cut in front of you in traffic

Send them an email

During a conversation

Or any other way that works for you.

As you emote the feeling of love towards another person, both you and they will begin to feel it. And your goal here is not for any other reason except you appreciate and recognize they are just like you.

The more you practice this kind of love, the more compassionate and empathetic you will become. At first this behavior might seem a little strange, but over time you’ll get to the point where if you don’t express love and respect in your action towards others, then you will feel inauthentic because it will become part of who you are.

Begin to practice your own version of agape today. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, even if it’s the smallest,  and perhaps to you irrelevant, put love in to your actions. I can almost guarantee that the more love you put in actions, the more love you will begin to feel towards you.
