8 Rules of Love

by Jay Shetty

“When you like a flower, you pluck it. When you love a flower, you water it daily.”

And we prepare for love by learning how to love ourselves in solitude.

I define the deepest love as when you like someone’s personality, respect their values, and help them toward their goals in a long-term, committed relationship.

Love is not about staging the perfect proposal or creating a perfect relationship. It’s about learning to navigate the imperfections that are intrinsic to ourselves, our partners, and life itself.
