Five Ways to Be a Conduit of Love

A conduit is a channel through which something flows. Being a conduit of love means that you are using your talents, abilities, and personal qualities for love. Love of yourself, love of others, and love of the world.

Here are five ways to be a conduit, love, and inspire change in the world.

#1 Use Your Strengths and Talents

To be a conduit of love, you must understand the intersection of your strengths and talents and your life purpose.

Being deeply aligned with your strengths and talents allows you to make meaningful contributions and create value in the world.

You must be intentional with how you use your talents and time and choose to use them for the betterment of society.

“The purpose of life is to discover your gifts, and the meaning of life is to give them away” -David Viscott

#2 Open Yourself Up

Becoming a conduit of love means pushing yourself to be vulnerable, especially when it’s easier not to.

You must be open to putting yourself at risk for disappointment and loss, knowing that the potential reward outweighs that risk.

This also means that you have to have the willingness to be the first one to take the step in opening up, especially in a relationship of any kind.

From a stranger to a lover, opening yourself up to others breeds love within yourself and within society.

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known…” -Brené Brown

#3 Learn to Love Yourself

Learning how to be a conduit of love is not just about being kind to and loving others- it’s also about cultivating a deeper sense of self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-love.

By nurturing our own capacity for love, we can become more empowered to make a positive impact in the world around us.

Our personal capacity for love grows tenfold when we love ourselves. The greater the capacity our ability to love is, the more love we have to spread to those around us.

“If you don’t love yourself, nobody else will. Not only that, you won’t be good at loving anyone else” -Maya Angelou

#4 Practice Forgiveness

Fostering love and being a conduit of such is deeply intertwined with forgiveness.

Forgiveness allows us to let go of grudges and resentments that can otherwise poison our relationships and our own mental health and emotional well-being.

Practicing forgiveness promotes understanding, empathy, and compassion in our relationships with others.

It also endorses humility, as it requires us to let go of our pride and be open to change and growth.

“Forgiveness is the final form of love” -Reinhold Niebuhr

#5 Be Generous with Your Time

Time is one of our most valuable commodities. When you give someone your time, you are showing them that they are important to you.

Being generous with your time also allows you to be present with others and shows that you prioritize building a healthy relationship with them.

Time is the physical embodiment of love. It is an investment in not only someone else but also in their future.

Time is a powerful way to demonstrate your commitment to others.

“The best use of time is to spend it on something that outlasts it” -William James.
