Love Extravagantly

There's one sure way to kill love--measure it. Loving someone because you think it's the right thing to do, because it's "your turn" or simply for what you can get isn't love at all. It's manipulation.
Keeping records of any kind can be bothersome, but with love, it can be deadly--especially to a relationship. If it's true that the more love you give away, the more you have, do yourself a favor and love abundantly. And be sure to include those who aren't in a position to return it. Give in secret. Volunteer. Pamper your spouse or a friend without expectations of the favor being returned. These loving deeds will benefit not only you but also everyone around you.
To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own.
Don't just lend a hand, give your heart.
