Have you noticed the amount of Valentine’s Day advertising around you? Quick fact: Valentine’s Day is the second most popular card-sending holiday after Christmas.
It is wonderful we have a day reminding us to express our love but do not let this be confined to one day. Also, DO NOT FORGET ABOUT YOURSELF. We do not need to rely on others to feel loved. Compassion, respect, and positivity increase in our lives when we treat ourselves and others with love. There is enough negativity in the world – let us focus on adding positivity.
“Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.”
– Malcolm S. Forbes
