Make others feel loved: a gesture that changes the day

We often underestimate the power of making someone feel loved, appreciated, or simply important. Yet, it is through these gestures that we create authentic connections, transform days, and, ultimately, give meaning to our own lives.

Why it's important to make others feel loved

We live in a world that celebrates individualism and personal success, but forgets how vital it is to feel part of something, to be recognized and appreciated. As Maya Angelou said, "People will forget what you said and what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel." Giving love doesn't require grand gestures, but small daily actions that show care and attention.

How to make others feel loved

• Give your time: One of the most precious resources you can offer is your attention. Turn off your phone, listen sincerely, and ask questions that show genuine interest.

• Offer words of appreciation: Never underestimate the power of a sincere "Thank you," "I'm proud of you," or "I'm glad you're here."

• Show empathy: Sometimes, the best thing we can do is simply be there. A message, a phone call, or a hug can make a huge difference.

• Do something unexpected: Surprise someone with a small gesture: a handwritten note, a coffee brought with care, or an impromptu invitation to share a moment together.

Practical example:
Imagine a colleague who seems overwhelmed with work. A simple gesture, like offering to help or leaving them an encouraging note, can change the course of their day. Not only will it have an impact on them, but it will also strengthen your connection with that person.

The effect of loving and feeling loved

When we make someone feel loved, something extraordinary happens: not only do we improve their day, but we also feel more connected and fulfilled. Love is not a feeling that runs out; it’s an energy that multiplies. The more we give it, the more we receive it.

A call to give love today

Today, do a small gesture to make someone feel loved. It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive: a smile, a compliment, or a sincere message can be enough. Remember, you never know how much your gesture might mean to someone else. Because, in the end, the secret to a fulfilling life isn't just being loved, but making others aware of how loved they already are.
