■ Message for February 7th

"Because there is love, you can accept, and you can also forgive"

Today's theme is about "the power of love to help people grow". This is a page that reminds us
how much falling in love with someone and caring for someone can
expand a person's heart and change their actions
.

■ Overview

When you find "someone you like", such as a lover or family member,
the desire to know more and to make them happy naturally arises. It is precisely because of that feeling that

• you can learn because you like them

• you can absorb because you like them

a state is created.

Furthermore, because there is love, you can accept the other person's shortcomings and differences in values, and you can think, "I want to cherish this person even if it means changing myself."
That is why it is said that
love is a power that helps people grow.

■ Today's Points

◎ You can learn because you like them, and you can absorb because you like them

While trying to learn about a world different from your own, such as the other person's hobbies, work, or way of thinking,
your perspective naturally broadens and your own values become more flexible.

◎ Because there is love, you can accept and forgive

Being able to think "this person includes those things too" even during moments of shortcomings or irritation is
only possible because you have feelings of caring for the other person. In that, there is
the growth of your own "capacity".

◎ Love helps people grow because you cherish the other person even if it means changing yourself

Correcting how you speak, reviewing your actions, or changing your habits—the
process of slightly remaking yourself for the sake of the other person is the great energy of growth that romance and love possess.

■ Practice you can start today

• Choose one person you want to cherish right now.
  Take a little time to learn about their values and the things they like. (e.g., reading a book, listening to them talk, or looking things up) (Read a book, listen to them, look things up, etc.)
  

• When you feel annoyed with someone, ask yourself this:
  'What part of myself am I trying to grow through this person?'
  After thinking about that, try
  one action to change your own approach (such as how you speak, listen, or react).

Loving is sometimes difficult and sometimes filled with joy.
However, loving actions will always help you grow a little bit at a time. May you have a kind day today as well.
