Loving others begins with respect.
So many books have been written on how to love that many of us assume we don't know how and maybe will never learn. We can simplify the process, however, by focusing on the Golden Rule.
For starters, we can treat others as respectfully as we'd like to be treated. People respond well to respect, and they often pay us respect in return.
Next, let's put the needs of at least one other person ahead of our own today. It's imperative that we do it willingly, not resentfully.
We'll discover an unexpected benefit--not being self-absorbed, for a change, is really quite refreshing. Finally, we can clear our minds from the thinking that keeps us from loving others.
Each person who enters our circle of experience today can be loved by us if we are willing.
Loving others is easier if we keep it simple.
