Setting LOVE in Motion

LOVE IT FORWARD

LOVE IT FORWARD is a movement to set Love in Motion. When more people feel loved, able to give love, the world will be a lovelier and more peaceful place.


LOVE IT FORWARD - the spread of love like a ripple that radiates outwards - is a concept and a way of thinking, because LOVE is such a beautiful thing with such tremendous power, yet many of us tend to either forget or don't know how to express LOVE.

TO LOVE seems so simple a thing to do, yet it seems to be a difficult action to undertake. Especially for us Asians, we generally tend to be more reserved in expressing LOVE, and openly communicating our LOVE to our family members and loved ones. It is not unusual for family problems to be caused by the lack of showing of LOVE, and therefore lack of feeling of LOVE. It's an irony that while many desire so much to be loved, they are so afraid to give love.

LOVE IT FORWARD is a calling and is initiated by four friends who share a common belief in:
  1. The power of LOVE.
  2. That everyone is being deeply LOVED by someone.
  3. That everyone is worthy of being LOVED by someone.
Our mission is to set LOVE into MOTION.

We shall take the first step towards advocating LOVE IT FORWARD so that not only our own family members but friends and people around us would experience the magical touch and warmth of LOVE. When more people are reminded of and feel the LOVE in daily lives, we are certain that it will have a catalytic effect in bringing about greater joy, peace and happiness to our world today.

On the first Sunday of every month, our families and us will lead the spreading of LOVE along Orchard Road in Singapore and our message is a simple one: to remind everyone that he/she is being deeply LOVED and that he/she could go out and express LOVE to their loved ones.

Our humble target is to be able to inspire 300 people in 3 months (by Feb 2008) to join us in doing the LOVE IT FORWARD exercise every first Sunday of the month at the same time but in different parts of Singapore.

We welcome anyone who shares our ideal to join us in LOVE IT FORWARD and help set the magical power of LOVE into motion. For friends outside of Singapore, we invite you to join us in spirit and action, and do keep in touch with us through this website.

Love It Forward - 把爱传出去, 是一个理念, 一种想法. 因为, “爱”, 对我们而言, 是那么美妙, 是那么有力量, 但人们却往往忘记或不懂如何去表达”爱”.

“爱”看似简单, 却又好像是很难的行为. 尤其, 我们东方人, 总是对爱的表达比较生涩, 不敢表达我们对家人的爱, 有时甚至因此而伤害了我们的家人. 进而导至许多家庭问题, 而我们内心却是渴望着爱, 但又不敢付出爱.

Love It Forward, 是一个使命, 是由四个普通的人, 四个有共同理念的人- 我们的理念:

  1. 相信爱的力量
  2. 相信每一个人都是深深被爱着的
  3. 相信每一个人都是值得被爱
我们的使命: 把”爱”付出行动

因此, 我们愿意踏出第一步, 由我们自己开始, 提倡 Love it forward, 不仅对我们的家人,也进而对外所有人. 让所有我们可以接触到的人感受到爱, 感受到那份温暖.

我们将会在每一月的第一个礼拜天, 由我们四个家庭开始, 我们会在新加坡乌节路上, 散播我们的爱, 让每一个人都知道, 他们是深深被爱着的.

我们的目标: 希望在3个月後, 我们可以发动300个人在全新加坡同一个时间, 不同地点一起把爱传出去.

欢迎所有志同道合的朋友, 一起加入我们的行列, 让我们一起把爱传出去. 海外的朋友, 也希望您与我们共襄盛举. 您可以透过我们的网站与我们联络.


Love Forwarders
