How to Give and Receive Love
Life is all about loving each other and there is no use wasting time in hatred. There are numerous ways in which you can give love to others and once you do, you will get the same in return. However, it is important not to expect anything from people you love. This way, you will always remain satisfied.
Although the definition of love varies from one person to another, it can be shared with people around you by doing the simplest of things. You don’t have to plan something special to be affectionate towards others.

How to give love:
Love yourself
If you have decided to start spreading compassion, the first step you need to take is to love yourself. It doesn’t mean that you have to put yourself above others, but maintain some self respect. -
2
Show love in words
The best way of expressing love is by saying it in words. It does not matter if you are dealing with your spouse, parents, children or colleagues; you should tell them how much you value a relationship with them. -
3
Love unconditionally
There should be no conditions attached to your love towards others. When you are putting any condition or expecting something in return, then you are not sincere in your efforts. -
4
Be tolerant
Tolerance is the key to having a good relationship with others. Even if you are not happy with the behaviour of the other person, you should be patient and allow them to realise his/her mistakes. -

How to receive love:
Trust people
In order to receive love, you have to trust what others say. If you think negatively, you will be unable to enjoy the affection of others towards you. Therefore, believe the other person, if he/she expresses love for you. -
6
Stop fearing
Even if you have had a bad experience with someone in the past, it doesn’t mean that you should look at everyone in the same way. The fear of losing someone will always keep you from receiving love, no matter how much you need it. -
7
Don’t block love
Sometimes, your ego puts you in a difficult situation, which results in a lot of problems for you. However, you have to get rid of it, as it blocks the love you deserve. -

Show love
Showing love is another way of receiving it. When you are concerned about others, they will react in the same way.
