Episode 2340: Will Penney challenges the notion of self-love, arguing that it isn't about constantly feeling good about yourself but consistently acting in your long-term best interest. He extends this philosophy to loving others, emphasizing the power of showing love through actions, even when feelings of affection aren't present, and how this approach can positively impact those around you. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://bebetterstupid.com/love-is-not-a-thing/ Quotes to ponder: "You don't have to feel love for yourself, like, at all - and certainly not all the time." "Consistently doing the loving thing for yourself is vital. This makes others more open to loving you, and it trains you in how you treat others." "You can always approach someone with intent of putting them first, to think about their needs, and to move heaven and earth for them as if they're the most important person in the world."
