More love please

This post  is all about the meaning of love and hate. Why are these two words so interesting? Find out here!

Hey hey my lovely entrepreneurs,

Why is love important?

Ok - so I wanted to address the fact that Valentine's Day has passed and because this is, again, another BIG celebration of something that many are still trying to, either find, or keep, or just maintain.

And that is the L word.

We often associate love and hate together. Obviously both words are antonyms and I wanted us to think about the latter more than the former.

Of course, love is much more pleasant to talk about, to experience, to share ...

But hate is also an interesting topic and one that I find highly interesting.

I questioned my team about those 2 words and how they affected their daily lives, or had affected it in the past. 

Why is hate important ?

Even saying the word hate is harsh. It starts further down the throat and when it finally comes out, it truly is ugly - sound wise. 

The sound even has a finality to it, like you were spitting something out of your mouth quickly, because it was awful to say.

However, this word is of interest to me because without some form of hate, my life wouldn't be where it is today.

Let me explain myself. 

Hate is by no means an attractive word, and its connotation even less, however, without it, would I have figured out what I didn't want in my life?

Would I have known who I wouldn't want to associate with? Would I have understood that love is more powerful and stronger than hate? 

Like I have written in previous posts, my childhood was filled with so much love, compassion, and safety, that hate wasn't something I understood and experienced until later in life.

When I understood that it could destroy people, I wanted nothing to do with it and even less with the people who would portray and live up to its definition. 

Yesterday, people celebrated love and what that implied - to them.

There shouldn't be a day that goes by, where you don't feel loved and beautiful, just by being you.

What does love mean to you?

What does love mean to you? 

I hope you can answer that question, and if you have then don't forget to share it with others and make it be felt around you.
