LOVE

The surveys keep getting filled, and the data gets more and more robust! Thank you all for forwarding out the link, every survey filled is helpful!

I have also been excited to see the traffic that has been finding its way to The Personal Vision Workbook publication page!

This week I wanted to focus a bit upon the top virtue on the list thus far. That Virtue is:

LOVE

It is not surprising to me that love is the top virtue of the 140+ survey takers so far. It has been amazing to read how important this virtue is to people. Here are some great examples of how the virtue of love is expressed:

Love one another as yourself--we are all part of the same collective so love is what it is all about

An indefinable, immensely spiritual, and marrow-deep "feeling" that causes an almost irrational need to be around, protect, and elevate someone to a pedestal in my soul.

Giving 100% of my heart to those most important and at least 50% to everyone else. If I don't have love of/for my parents, husband, children etc. I can't live. It's what more of this world should thrive on instead of hate etc.

I believe love is the basis of being. It is important to me to love and be loved by my family.

Without it, the world is empty. I like feeling full

Love is something you get when you are surrounded by people that care and respect you. It is something that is very important to people and without us we would not be Humans.

Love is patient and kind. It is not boastful, envious, or prideful. It keeps no record of wrongs. It always trusts, hopes, and perseveres: love never fails (1 Cor 13). Jesus said to Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength; and, Love your neighbor as yourself (Mt 22:37-39). We were made to love and be loved.

Love: The deep, soul-born attraction towards another soul, idea or cause

Love: Caring for, appreciating, valuing, and cherishing each soul. I believe the reason why we exist is to learn to love each other.

Love, deep emotional connection with the people around you, because it keeps me focused on what is really important

Unconditional Love - all people and life forms by opening my heart, sharing my passion, and being real.

Love, in any form, seems to be the impetus of positive human interaction. To me it's the backbone of virtues for it drives us to truly live and to connect.
