You can choose to approach every situation and interaction with a mindset of kindness, compassion, and understanding. It means to see the good in people and the world, even when it’s not immediately apparent.

Now that, too, doesn’t mean that if something bad has happened, there won’t be any consequences for the crime, the issue at hand.

Of course, there will be.

But it’s how you handle the struggles and troubles that you face. When you choose to see the world through the lens of love, you open yourself up to new possibilities and opportunities.

1. Practice Gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the things in your life that you are thankful for, and express gratitude to the people who have positively impacted your life. “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
2. Be Kind: Random acts of kindness can profoundly impact the people around you. Whether holding the door open for someone, complimenting, or simply smiling at a stranger, small acts of kindness can help spread positivity and love. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” – Galatians 6:9
3. Let Go of Judgement: It’s easy to judge others based on their actions or beliefs, but when you do so, you close yourself off from the possibility of understanding and compassion. Instead, try to approach others with an open mind and heart, and seek to understand their perspective. “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” – Matthew 7:1-2
4. Focus on Love: When faced with difficult situations or negative emotions, focus on the love surrounding you. Whether it’s the love of family and friends, the beauty of nature, or the kindness of strangers, there is always love to be found if you look for it. “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” – 1 Corinthians 13:13

So create a more positive and fulfilling life for yourself and those around you. Choose to live in the light of love, no matter how tough things get.
