It’s been said that the greatest pursuit of human life is to love and to be loved. We believe in love – it’s in our nature to be drawn to love stories, to long for one of our own, and to hope that true love is possible.

When we pay attention to how we feel and what choices we are making, we learn what we prioritize in life – our values. Those values steer how we make decisions. Being present and seeing your values gives you a sense of who you are, and you get to decide if that’s the person you want to be.

Any potential partner will come with a past, challenges, and possibly trauma, just as you do. You simply won’t find someone who ticks every box on your checklist.
– Jay Shetty, 8 Rules Of Love
#6
But creating something together is better than wanting the same thing. How you handle your differences is more important than finding your similarities.
– Jay Shetty, 8 Rules Of Love
#7
Sometimes, we assume trust is binary: either we trust someone, or we don’t. But trust increases gradually through actions, thoughts and words. We shouldn’t trust someone instantly just because they’re kind to us. We give them our trust little by little, day after day, we have shared more of ourselves and seen what they do with our honesty.
– Jay Shetty, 8 Rules Of Love

We think starting means doing, but it actually begins with learning. Don’t skip or avoid the learning phase. The reason we say knowledge is power is that it can help you overcome any fear of the unexpected.
– Jay Shetty, 8 Rules Of Love
#9
Dreams don’t have to be big; they just have to be yours.
– Jay Shetty, 8 Rules Of Love
#10
Conflict doesn’t have to be distressing. It doesn’t have to leave us with regret. How many times have we had to come back and say, “I didn’t mean it”? When we feel mean, we say things we don’t mean. We make permanent declarations based on a temporary emotion.
– Jay Shetty, 8 Rules Of Love
#11
Words can’t be unsaid; actions can’t be undone. Share how you feel, not what you think of the other person.
– Jay Shetty, 8 Rules Of Love
#12
You can seek love your whole life and never find it, or you can give love your whole life and experience joy. Experience it, practice it, and create it instead of waiting for it to find you.
– Jay Shetty, 8 Rules Of Love
