Here’s some life advice from the ancient Greeks:

Instead of simply having one concept of love, the ancient Greeks believed there were SIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOVE, all equally important:

EROS, the fiery, passionate love you feel toward a lover;
PHILIA, the platonic love between friends and family;
LUDUS, the playfulness found among new lovers and children;
PRAGMA, the deep understanding between partners that grows over time;
AGAPE, the selfless, charitable love for our fellow humans; and
PHILAUTIA, the love of the self.

Rather than relying on ONE partner to satisfy all these needs, the ancient Greeks believed each role could be played by DIFFERENT people in your life. This allowed them to spread their emotional needs across a wide range of people, making it easier for them to find happiness in love.

I so often notice when I coach people that we do the opposite (i.e. expect a handful of people in our life to satisfy ALL our love needs).. and that often leads to disappointment.

SMART TIP OF THE DAY (courtesy the ancient Greeks): There are more than 7 billion people on this planet.. each of whom is a source of love! 💙💛❤️
Love is all around us. We just need to go out and SEEK it. “I don’t feel loved enough” shouldn’t exist in our vocabulary..
P.S. If your love needs are still unmet, go get yourself a pet!
