May 15, 2008This Week in the World ~ For the love of…people, work, ideas…

Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

A friend apologized to me for talking so much about how wonderful his new sweetheart is. I enjoyed hearing him sing her praises. He was talking about one of my favorite things. He was talking about love.

It’s inspiring to hear anyone talk about the people, projects and things that are close to their hearts. Sweethearts, kids, dogs, cats, communities, books, knowledge, principles, causes – anything that sets people on fire can light a fire in you too, if you listen. Take inspiration from other’s inspiration.

When I travel to speak to Meeting Professionals International groups, people who work in the various Visitor and Conventions Bureaus are often the ones to show me around. It’s always clear how much they love their cities.

My son likes to show me his new web designs. His creations light him up.

A friend told me about her new brand for her business. She bubbled with joy about her ideas.

My love-smitten friend gave a gift when he shared the sweetness in his heart for his new lady. We all give a gift when let the light of our love shine. Love has many faces – including business ones. Don’t apologize for your love, passion and interest. Share it. And when someone else talks about something they love, listen. They will appreciate your interest, and their enthusiasm could be contagious.
