Three. Flow

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus

Okay, here’s the revolution. I think the best way to live is:

• loving yourself and knowing who you are
• (identity)
• developing something amazing with your life
• (creativity)
• consistently giving this amazingness away to other people
• (generosity)
• allowing the love you give to move through you, meeting your own needs
• (flow)

The power of unconditional love is this: As you love others for their sake, it creates this incredible flow through your own life. When you love, provide for, and encourage others, your needs for love, provision, and value are fulfilled. If people respond (which they mostly do), then that’s icing on the cake, but the giving is adequate in itself.
