- Try to get all your personal needs met. Allow yourself to be content with the rest of your life. This is where the energy to love comes from.
- Let people be who they are. Accept that you can't change them, only encourage them.
- Never see another person as your enemy. The ones who hurt you just don't understand how much you need each other. Try to show them.
- Never demand respect. Earn it by showing respect for others.
- Keep your expectations for others low but your hopes high.
- Never command. Just request or suggest.
- Be patient. Once you have waited long enough, wait just a little more.
- Serve. Meet some needs of those most in need, and then work your way up. (Love doesn't trickle down, it trickles up. If the most needy in a community gets their needs met, the entire community becomes more healthy.)
- Live and work in a community that loves and serves people outside of their own group
