“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The transformative power of love is not fully embraced in our society because we often wrongly believe that torment and anguish are our ‘natural’ condition.” -bell hooks
In all that you do, in all your relationships, be transformational. Not transactional.
Wondering how to do so?
Love. (Not the feeling. The active verb.)
When you love, when you “will the good of the other as other” per Aquinas, you can transform everyone you come into contact with.
