    What is love?

    They say love makes the world go round, and in the grand symphony of existence, it takes center stage. But while everyone’s familiar with the word “love,” defining it can prove to be quite a challenge. For Vex King, love can be encapsulated in three concepts: love as an action, love as a vibration, and love as a way of life. 

    Let’s start with love as an action. Love is an action simply because relationships aren’t built on fleeting feelings, but on ongoing effort. The butterflies will fade over time, and when they do, that shouldn’t be an indication to jump ship and move on to another partner. Instead, that’s the time for you to roll up your sleeves and get working on the relationship. Accept your differences, create special bonding moments, and foster a safe space for each other’s vulnerabilities. No relationship is safe from the occasional storm, but as long as you and your partner put in the work, you can get through the rough patches stronger than before. 

    Next up, love as a vibration. Sometimes love can feel like a high frequency that comes from within you and is influenced by your thoughts and behavior. When you’re at the love frequency, you’re significantly happier, kinder, and in harmony with yourself. This brings about healthy relationships. Unfortunately, you won’t vibrate at this frequency all the time, so you need to work on staying at that level. Fill your day with positive content, boost your confidence with positive affirmations, and be on the lookout for love in your surroundings.  

    Finally, when you see love as a way of life, and begin using it as your guide in all that you do, you can create a magical world around you. Start with accepting others for who they are, looking for their best sides, and offering them genuine support. If you always act from your heart, you can never go wrong. However, this shouldn’t be a one-time thing. Make sure to do this every day until choosing love becomes a habit. Remember that as a human, you’re made to receive and give love. Act on that instinct.

    Great app. Good selection of book summaries you can read or listen to while commuting. Instead of scrolling through your social media news feed, this is a much better way to spend your spare time in my opinion.
