Beyond Romance: 5 Hidden Ways Love Shapes Your Journey
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. –Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The things we love shape us, inside and out.
Ever wonder what truly makes you, you? The legendary writer Goethe had a powerful answer: love. His famous quote, “We are shaped and fashioned by what we love,” suggests that our deepest passions leave an undeniable mark.
Think about it. Did your love for music lead you to pick up an instrument? Does your wanderlust fuel your language learning? The things we love become like guiding stars, shaping our choices, skills, and even who we are at our core.
But it’s not only about having big passions. The people we love, the hobbies we enjoy, even the books we read that make us curious – they all make up who we are. When we choose to spend time with inspiring people or do things that make us happy, it adds to our unique selves.
It is about being best version of who you are and not about figuring about who you are. Do things that makes you feel alive and kicking. Remember, we never stop learning and growing, and you know what helps with that? Love! As Goethe said, it’s not just about who we are right now, but who we’re becoming, and love helps us unlock our potential.
