The Power of “Positude”

One of my friends posted on Facebook that he couldn’t bring himself to take down the Christmas tree so now it’s a Valentines tree! We all want to love and be loved just the way we are. So, how’s your Lovetude, are there strings attached, or terms to be met? Let’s take a look at this little thing called love.

Love is a gift that is greatly desired but not easily understood. Relationships are built on trust, Positude helps us to focus on the best of who and what we are. Love is not self-centered or self-motivated. Love is more concerned about the needs of the beloved than its own needs. Love asks how can I help? How can I serve?

Every gift, talent, and ability given to mankind is improved with love. When people love what they do, it is easy to love who they are. Agape is perfect love without restrictions. Agape empowers us to be fearless in a world that is fearful. I can because I think I can. Love is the gift that keeps on giving!

Be well my beloved friends.

Always Agape,

Sylvia
