Pro tip: Take a few deep breaths before going over a virtual letter, article, story, podcast or video. It releases all the tension and enables you to receive. If you'd like to engage in deep breaths, tick-tock!
Heyyyyyyy,
I'll refer to you as Royalty. Why? It takes one to identify one.
*exhales*
I hope your week has been a good vibe so far. Mine has been alive, bright and cool. Okay, let's unpack!
Lol! This abbreviation is far more than famous.
Laughing out Loud, League of Legends but now, phrased equally memorable, "Language of Love."
I don't mean, love language.
Love language has a reputation, the magic 5: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch.
Last Saturday, the host of one of my small groups threw a question for a chat:
"If your spouse’s love language is physical touch, can you share a creative way to speak it often? And if you’re not married, what safe ways can you speak this love language without getting yourself in trouble?"
People like a good conversation so they responded. The list was set in motion with head rubs to cuddling, sipping from the same cup, pinching and tickling. It didn't end there but you can share your views, you never know who's taking notes.
Did you know that the world record holder for most spoken languages speaks around 60 languages?
But the language of love broke a record as the only language on earth that can be communicated and comprehended by anyone.
How do I know? It needs no translation or subtitles. It exhibits and delights in kindness, patience, generosity, humility, honour, abundance, goodness and rejoices with the truth.
Full disclosure: LOL is soft, peaceful, joyful, and also the only language you can articulate with other languages without biting your tongue.
Korean + language of love
Arabic + LOL, Chinese + LOL
English + LOL, Russian + LOL
French + LOL, German + LOL
Hausa + LOL, Hindi + LOL
Spanish + LOL, Swahili + LOL
Yoruba + LOL, Zulu + LOL
"Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love," says the book of 1st Corinthians.
Let love speak! Let love breeeet!
It's a relief that regardless of where you travel to in this world, there's a language you can speak and understand fluently. LOL!
P.S.: You don't have to devote days, weeks or months to learning the language of love but you need to constantly communicate it to be a better speaker.
