I invite you to act like a person who’s in love.
Even if you’re not currently in the throes of passion for a special someone,
simulate that state.
Everywhere you go, exude the charismatic blend of shell-shocked contentment and blissful turmoil
that comes over you when you’re infatuated.
Let everyone you meet soak up the delicious wisdom you exude.
Wield compassion like a performance artist who exults in carving up pessimism
and cynicism.
Dispense free blessings and extra slack like a rich saint high on natural endorphins.
Without straining, direct your perceptions to discern the most noble and
attractive qualities in each creature you encounter.
