I can’t imagine anything easier than saying the words “I love you.”  But for whatever reasons, many people just don’t do it.  Maybe we believe that our loved ones don’t need to hear it, that they don’t want to, or that they won’t believe it.  Maybe our parents seldom said it to us.  I Love You

Maybe we’re too stubborn or too shy.  Whatever the reason, it’s not good enough.  There are just too many important reasons to tell the people in your life that you love them.

Whether or not you heard these words enough in your life is not at issue here.  At issue here is the fact that saying “I love you” makes people feel good.  It reminds them that they are not alone and that you care.  It raises their and makes you feel good too.   It is simple, painless, and free.

Saying “I love you” is one of the most powerful sentences in the world.  People who know they are loved (because they have been told) are able to offer the world their love in return.  They have a quiet confidence and a sense of inner peace.

One of my firmest beliefs is that when you have what you want, your natural inclination is to give back to others.  So by saying “I love you” to a single person, you are, indirectly, helping the world at large. 

Genuinely saying the words “I love you” can erase a myriad of mistakes in the eyes of your loved ones.  This has many personal benefits as well.  It feels good.  Since giving and receiving are two sides of the same coin, it’s absolutely true that giving is it’s own reward.  Saying these loving words is one of the most basic and simple forms of giving.

There are so many opportunities to express your love in this manner: When you get home, when you leave, when you awake in the morning and before you go to bed.  Develop the habit of saying “I love you” before hanging up when talking on the telephone.  Love Note

Your opportunities are unlimited.  This will be one of the easiest things you ever do, one of the most important, and one of the most rewarding.
