Love is not something you have. It is something you practice.
Love Letter | 16th July 2026
What if we have misunderstood Love all along?
Perhaps Love was never meant to be something we find.
Or something we lose.
Or even something we fall into.
Perhaps Love is something we choose.
Every single day.
We often speak about Love as though it were a destination.
“I’m looking for Love.”
“I’ve found the Love of my life.”
“I lost Love.”
As if Love were an object we could hold in our hands.
But what if 'Love' is much more like a verb than a noun?
What if 'love' is revealed not by what we say, but by how we live?
Love is listening when it would be easier to interrupt.
Love is forgiving when resentment feels safer.
Love is encouraging when criticism would be simpler.
Love is choosing curiosity over judgment.
Presence over distraction. Compassion over being right.
Perhaps that is why I chose the name Becoming Love.
Because becoming is always active.
It is alive.
It is a practice.
It is never finished.
The ancient Greeks understood this beautifully. They didn’t use just one word for 'love'. They recognized that LOVE has many expressions, each inviting us to grow in a different way.
Agápē reminds us of selfless and unconditional Love.
Philía speaks of friendship, loyalty and shared purpose.
Storgē reflects the quiet devotion of family.
Éros celebrates intimacy and romantic connection.
Philautía invites healthy self-love and self-respect.
Prâgma is the enduring love that grows through commitment and time.
Ludus reminds us not to lose joy, playfulness and laughter.
Xenía expresses hospitality, kindness and generosity toward those we welcome into our lives.
Together, they reveal a profound truth:
Love is not one feeling. It is many daily choices.
This is why I believe the world doesn’t simply need more people talking about Love.
It needs more people practicing it.
More people willing to embody it.
More people willing to become it.
At the Global Love Coach Academy, we believe that coaching begins not with techniques but with who we are becoming.
Every conversation. Every relationship. Every act of kindness. Every courageous decision becomes an opportunity to practice 'love in action'.
Perhaps today is not about asking,
“Who loves me?”
Perhaps today is about asking,
“How can I love more deeply?”
“How can I become more loving?”
Because when Love becomes something, we practice rather than something we pursue...everything changes.
