You don’t receive love by trying to attract it. It doesn’t come with a new outfit, a new haircut, a new fancy job or car, a revision to the text you were about to send, or a selfie posted to your social media. If you keep thinking that way, you’re going to start thinking poorly of your outfit, your hair, your job, your car, your words, and your photos when love doesn’t arrive from that effort.

You receive love by *being* the love want to receive. You receive love by opening your heart up and giving out the love you have to everyone who crosses your path. To the homeless person who needs a cigarette, to your neighbor who needs a helping hand, to your coworker who needs instructions, to your friends who need a listening ear, to your family who needs your commitment. They all need your love. So give it away and it will return in abundance.
