WHAT IS YOUR LOVE QUOTIENT (LQ)?
"Patience, kindness, generosity, humility, courtesy, unselfishness, good temper, guilessness, sincerity. All these make up the Supreme Gift, are there is the soul of whoever wishes to be in the world and close to God" -Henry Drummond
Where are you on the Spectrum of Love? Are you radiating at your highest capacity for Love? What do you need to magnify your brilliance? Love is supreme goodness and the highest expression of ourselves. These spiritual gifts of love are innate and our natural state of being. The Spectrum of Love, the foundation for the Love Quotient (LQ) includes nine ingredients: Patience, kindness, generosity, humility, courtesy, unselfishness, good temper, guilessness and sincerity. These ingredients are intertwined and help us thrive in our daily life. The Love Quotent (LQ) enables us to assess our capacity for authentic expression of love for ourselves and others. Like a diamond that is always shining, pure love radiates from our heart.
The Love Quotient (LQ) is regarded as the Wholistic Model of Love, the Recipe of Love, that connects us with our sovereign power and inspires us to align with the divine, know ourselves, and embody love through daily devotion. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each ingredient in addition to the attributes and antitypes. The LQ will enable you to assess where you are on the Spectrum of Love, become more aware of your thoughts, feelings and actions, and discern your readiness to implement these ingredients in your daily life.
We have the power to change. Through awareness, knowledge, committment and discipline we can hold ourselves accountable and be responsible for our actions. Character is built by ceaseless practice. Contemplate on the ingredients of love and devote yourself to daily practice. Life circumstances, challenges, and temptations are all opportunities to grow. These ingredients will change the way live and how you love. Our lives become fuller and richer and we can witness the immediate effects. Reflect love in all your endeavors and be the mirror of love in your daily life.
Our Love in Action Practice is to begin with the ingredient of love, Patience. Practice being self-composed, calm, at ease, not rushed or in a hurry. How does this make you feel? How does being patient improve the relationship with yourself and others. Journal and reflect. What are the outcomes? Next, take time to practice each ingredient of love and see where it takes you.
