Who do you love?

This may be perhaps the easiest of all our self awareness questions, but surprisingly few of us ever stop to consider this question in depth. Beyond the obvious answers that would include your immediate family, have you ever attempted to list all the people in your life that you truly care for?

Taking the time to ponder this question is important because it reminds us of the most important assets we have, the people we love. In the chaos of daily modern life, this is easy to forget. Or when we’re depressed we also forget that we have people around us that we care for and need us. The opposite is also true in the era of social media, where we may wrongly believe that we have more people in our lives than we truly do.

So take the time to write down the names of all the people you love. Skip the casual acquaintances or the fake online friends. Think of the people that would be there for you if you call for help, or the ones that have already gone the extra mile for you at some point in your life. Use this list to reconnect with those you have lost touch with and remind them why they are important to you. Tomorrow may be too late.
