In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies me to speak about love? My childhood experience of the opposite of love. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside me, I searched for and eventually created a method that transformed my life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became my preferred love style, only because of the regularity. I could almost count on it. It was consistent. I came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, I knew that was a twisted belief. I wanted a better life for myself, which is why I created a paradigm shift that works. In this book, you’ll find what helped me move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. This is truly the role of love. I hope you join me. In This Episode: - Transforming from anger to love using the principles of love languages. - The role of the five love languages. - How practicing love languages can break the cycle of anger and negativity and foster positive relationships. - Paul’s practical application of the love languages helps individuals practice a different love language each day. - Implementing the love language method in schools can promote a loving and compassionate environment.  Get in Touch with Paul Zolman: - http://www.roleoflove.com/  Get in Touch with Nancy O: - https://nancyocares.com/ - https://n-o3.juiceplus.com/us/en - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCz-q95hT7H9ocBZ4ju1BQoQ - https://www.facebook.com/inspirationsbynancy - https://nancyocares.com   Audio and show notes byhttp://premierpodcastpromotions.com/
