I don’t know if it’s from a recent book or movie, but I’ve realized a new maxim for me (and us): live with love. Love is a choice, and putting it out into the world causes reverberations beyond what we can see.

If we reject the idea that love ‘happens’ to us, that it’s an uncontrollable condition, then we regain our greatest power. Our most impactful ability is to generate and transfer love onto other beings, and this foundational capability enables all other good we can do in this world.

Love cannot be extinguished by anything external, it’s something each of can choose to emanate. What a simple and beautiful epiphany—live with love.
