Showing/Getting Love & Compassion

Hi everyone! It's been a while... How have you been lately? I'm doing very well at the moment.

Today, I'm going to talk about the benefits of showing/getting love and compassion.

First of all, I think the world needs more love and compassion in order to melt the ice. Communicating about our needs, feelings and thoughts, and listening to other people without any judgements are very important qualities. The majority of us didn't develop those qualities very well and that's why there are misunderstandings and prejudices. 

Love and compassion are aspects that make us humane. Even animals can show those qualities because they don't judge. If animals can show those qualities, so do we. We call that unconditional love. 

- Love without any prejudices -

The biggest benefits about love and compassion are: having a longer life span and a happier life.

I know many of us know about this saying: Love hurts.

And that's not true; love is the purest feeling in the world. Being betrayed/hit/rejected/... hurts. 

I love to give love to other people by listening to their problems, spoiling them with a manicure, hugging them, ... But most importantly, you have to love yourself first before loving other people. Or else, that love wouldn't be genuine. (That's what I think, and if you don't agree. I understand.)

The benefits of showing love is that people will appreciate it. I know some of those people will take things for granted, but that's okay. Just focus on those that do appreciate your gestures. And that's what I do. Being satisfied with your actions without expecting things in return is one of the best feelings ever. You won't be worried about  the disappointments. If you expect too much to get something in return, then you'll indeed be disappointed. 

Remember, love yourself first, show love & compassion, and don't expect things in return.

That's it folks!

Wish you good luck!
