What is LOVE?

Someone shared this with me and it's so beautiful, I had to post!

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8          
year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper   
than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:                             


"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails 
anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all even when his hands got arthritis, 
too. That's Love."                                                               
Rebecca - age 8                                                                  


When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know   
that your name is safe in their mouth."                                          
Billy - age 4                                                                    


"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they  
go out and smell each other."                                                    
Karl - age 5                                                                     


"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French Fries      
without making them give you any of theirs."                                     
Chrissy - age 6                                                                  


"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."                                
Terri - age 4                                                                    


"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before      
giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."                                 
Danny - age 7                                                                    


"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you     
still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that.   
They look gross when they kiss."                                                 
Emily - age 8                                                                    


"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents   
and listen."                                                                     
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)                                                             


"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you     
hate."                                                                           
Nikka - age 6                                                                    


"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7                                                                   


"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even
after they know each other so well."                                             
Tommy - age 6                                                                    


"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the
people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing 
that. I wasn't scared anymore."                                                  
Cindy - age 8                                                                    


"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me to    
sleep at night."                                                                 
Clare - age 6                                                                    


"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."                      
Elaine-age 5                                                                     


"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer  
than Robert Redford."                                                            
Chris - age 7                                                                    


"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4                                                                 


"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her oldclothes and has
to go out and buy new ones."                                                     
Lauren - age 4                                                                   


"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out
of you"                                                                          
Karen - age 7                                                                    


"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."  
Mark - age 6                                                                     


"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it,   
you should say it a lot. People forget."                                         
Jessica - age 8                                                                  


And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a       
contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most   
caring child. (Now this will melt your heart.) The winner was a four year old    
child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his 
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, 
climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he had  
said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."     

Screw It . . . Live on the Edge & Follow Your Dreams

 

Who cares. Don't depend on stability. Don't worry about how it will all work out. Just go. I challenge you to live your truth. I challenge you to do what your heart calls you to do. I challenge you to make a sacrifice for today to live for tomorrow's victory. I challenge you to identify your life's purpose. Life's challenges come in various forms and if you're going to fight either way, why not fight for what truly makes you happy. Don't over think your decision or analyze the details. Take a leap of faith. Give God something to do. He wants you to trust in Him by allowing His greatness to manifest in your life.

• Jump today. Just do it.
• Stop contemplating and make a decision
• Surround yourself with those that will love and support your decision to "find your purpose"
• Work hard and pray harder
• Be proud that you are living an authentic life
• Learn how to handle challenges with faith, patience and perseverance
• Identify how you want to chase your passion by creating a well thought out plan, however leave room for flexibility and edits
• Go!

The first step in following your passion is to believe that you can do it. The second step, is to take action and never look back!
