“Anything that is of value in life only multiplies when it is given.”
-Deepak Chopra
Indian-American author and speaker Deepak Chopra is one that is known for his wisdom and mindfulness practices. Today’s quote by him serves as an important reminder that whatever we give value to in this life can only multiply when we give it to others. We must look beyond our own lens and adhere to the thoughts, feelings and emotions of others. It is important to empathize with whatever they may be going through and in doing so this will show what one of the greatest values you can bestow on someone else: love towards one another.
Valuing love is a priceless commodity that in this day and age is needed now more than ever. It can create a much needed domino effect that you yourself can start and through this spread a positive light to counteract any darkness that someone may be experiencing. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the problems of the world as it has happened for far too long. Let us make strides to do our part and make sure we truly value one another by gaining a deeper understanding of them and the problems they may be facing. Just think of the wonderful outcomes this could cause in the long run to make this world a better place. Remember as the old saying goes “You get out of something, what you put into it.”
