Actively show love. Love doesn't just reveal itself
through good vibes. It's an active emotion that needs constant input,
stoking and tending. It blossoms with attention and shows through the
things we do and say to other people each day. Ultimately, you are the
one who must take action in order to discover love. Show your devotion
to others by being considerate, respectful and thoughtful of their
needs, by doing little acts of random kindness and by showing them that
you care about their well-being.
- Tell people you love that you love them, as often as possible.
Regularly say "I love you" to your child, your parents, your lover, your
spouse, your friend, etc. And there are other ways to express love
where "I love you" doesn't seem appropriate or lacks clarity on the
breadth of your love for the person, such as "You mean a great deal to
me", "You inspire me", "You are the most amazing person I've ever
known", "I am a better person for having known you", and so forth.

When you say the words "I Love You", say them with real conviction.
When you say the words "I Love You", say them with real conviction. You're not telling a person that you love them just because you want to feel good––you're saying it because you want the other person to feel good! - Don't be ashamed to tell anyone that you love your friends as much as you love anyone else in your life.
