Never be too busy to show love.

Have you thought about your foundational pillars going into the new year? Instead of setting up a an age old? I'm going to lose weight this year? How about if we focused on a pillar? How about if we declared a pillar for the new year? And how about if we made that pillar, gratitude, being grateful for everything that is in your life now, looking around you and practicing gratitude for what's already present.

Practicing gratitude can change your life it will change your life It will radically improve everything. When you focus on what you're grateful for. I feel so strongly about this, that I created my 30 day guide to gratitude journal. I challenge you for the year 2021. Grab a copy of this journal for yourself and everyone in your household your friends do it together. Why not embrace gratitude in a whole new way and make 2021 your best year ever? I dare you. Link is in the show notes.

It's just you and me hanging out on coffee and tea with Gary Vee today. You and me talking about never being too busy, to show love.

Never being so judgmental, that we fail to see others through a filter of love.

Never being so judgmental, that we fail to see that others are worthy of love.

This really hit me in the last couple of weeks. Just being very mindful of the things that I hear around myself. And sometimes I just want to ask, ask others.

It must be exhausting. Do you ever get exhausted, judging others so much? And then I realize, wait a minute, that's me judging them. I'm being just as judgmental.

But what if I put my love glasses on? What if I decided to wear my love glasses, where every time I look at someone, I see them through a filter of love. I see them as being worthy of love.

You see, love isn't something we do. It is who we are. We become love. And when we become love, it is so easy to see others through a filter of love, through a filter of them being worthy of love. We get so caught up in judging each other that we forget to be kind.

Never be too busy. To show love. Never be so caught up in your self judgment that you can't show others love and the time to grab hold of this is now Valentine's Day is coming up very soon. It's the day we're all supposed to love each other. We give each other candy hearts with chocolates, and we send each other mushy cards and we tell each other We love you. We we love we tell each other We love you, I love you.

And then the next day, we're having an argument again or we let go of the kindness or not even the next day maybe it's in the next moment.

We don't have to wait for a day to show kindness and love. But it is very hard to show each other and to show others love

If you don't love yourself, and if you're so busy judging other people that you can't ever see who they really are, we don't always have to agree with everyone around us.

But disagreeing with someone does not mean we don't love them. disagreeing just means we're people. It just means we have different viewpoints, different opinions, but it's not a gateway to hate or judgment.

Understanding others seeing past a facade, a wall that they have up so that you see their sorrow and their pain, their grief, will on lock your filter of love. When you really take the time to understand what someone else has been through where they are coming from.

You are, you are able then to put on your love glasses and see them through the eyes of love to see that they are truly are worthy of love.

Imagine standing in your kitchen, and you're looking out the window or your office or you're looking out a window somewhere where you can look through a window.

And that window is covered with dirt and grime and mud and years of EQ. And every time you look through that window, all you see is the grime and the dirt. So right now I'm sitting in my office and I am looking out my window, the sun is shining a little bit it's still there's still snow on the ground, but this The sun is sparkling on the snow, it's beautiful.

If I took that same window and covered it with mud on the other side, all I would see is the dirt and the grime and I wouldn't see the beauty beyond it.

Pick up a pair of glasses and put them on Have you ever put on a pair of glasses and they're filled. They can be sunglasses, reading glasses, your regular glasses, whatever they are. But there's there's fingerprints, and they're just filthy dirty and you see spots everywhere. It's annoying, right? And we take them off and we clean them off so that we can have clear vision. When you put your love glasses on your love filter, that's what you're doing. You're taking off your judgment glasses.

You're, you're you're you're taking all that judgment, you're wiping it off the lens, so that your filter now is a filter of love. You can see clearly you clean your windows in your house, everything looks brighter and clearer. you clear your you clean your eyeglasses, everything is brighter and clearer.

But when you when you refuse to clean them off when you refuse to take the judgment off your lenses.

Everything you look at is skewed everything looks bad. You're argumentative. You lose your sense of kindness. But when you tap into love, and you let that become who you are.

The glasses and the windows stay clear. When you embody love, and you seek to see each other through a filter of love us you seek to see others through that filter of love as worthy of love. When you show kindness, sparks of kindness, reignite love, hope and determination.

Imagine being that person who reignites that in other people. You're kind word reignites their hope in the future. You're kind word reignites their determination to move forward your kind word reignites love.

Imagine the world if we all did that, if we all decided to see each other through a filter of love, rather than that filter of judgment, or hate, or you don't agree with me, so I'm just not going to be nice to you. I'm Imagine if we all cleared our lenses. And we decided to embrace this love filter where we see each other as people that are worthy of our understanding and our respect and our love.

Where we see each other as worthy of being embraced worthy of being kind, worthy of reigniting love, hope and determination. Imagine the world if we did that.

So Valentine's Day is coming. And I'm going to challenge you to embrace your love filter, your love glasses, your

Letting go of any judgment of others. and embrace and embody love, let it be who you are. But then don't let it go. Don't let it go. Keep embracing and embodying that person.

And whether anyone else in your immediate circle comes along with you. That's okay. You set your standard for yourself. You set your standard for others, and you live your life as the amazing, amazing human being. That I know you are. It's why you're here. Because, because you are amazing, because you want to know how to be the most amazing you that you can be.

Step one, embody love, become that love. Drop the judgment and see each other's sorrows, pain, grief.

Take the time to really listen, take the time to show kindness. Never be too busy to show love. Never be too busy to show love.
