Surprisingly, the word ‘Love’ has shown up at the last two conferences that I have spoken at. And, that has caused me to reflect.
For so much of my life, I didn’t believe I was someone worth loving.
When you carry that feeling long enough, it quietly shapes everything around you.
I am still learning to love myself. I am learning to be kinder to the person in the mirror, forgiving myself for old mistakes, and realizing I didn’t have to be perfect to be worthy of love.
Somewhere along this wild journey, I was fortunate to find someone who truly loves me. And, instead of questioning it or pushing it away like I did for years, I was finally able to receive it.
Early this morning as I prepared to quietly leave the house, I smiled when I looked down to see a tiny note that my wife placed in my shoe.
Just a few simple words wishing me a good trip and reminding me she loves me.
In a world that can feel loud, chaotic, and uncertain, I am learning that love becomes one of the most powerful choices we have.
My hope is that today you choose love, both for yourself and for others. ❤️
