"The best definition of love I’ve heard came from my experience at The Hoffman Process: love is what overflows from your cup when you decide to fill your cup first. ![]()
![]()
This identifies two important principles of love. First, you have to fill yourself whole with self-love.

Second, the outward expression of your love is a reflection of how you love and treat yourself. When you authentically and wholeheartedly love yourself, you will do the same for others. You will do so from a place of abundance, needing nothing in return..."![]()

So remember to fill up your own cup of love every day and enjoy sharing the love with others. ![]()
