"عشق بورز و هر چه خواهی انجام بده"

When you boil it down, this quote is really about the power of love as a guiding force in our actions. If you truly love—whether it’s a person, a project, or even yourself—then any action you take will come from a place of care, empathy, and respect. It’s like saying, "If your heart is in the right place, you can’t go wrong."

Saint Augustine originally said this back in the early 5th century. He was a theologian and philosopher, and this line is from one of his sermons. The point he was making is that love, when it’s genuine and deep, naturally aligns us with good actions. Basically, if you love, you’ll do good without needing a rulebook.

Take, for instance, the story of Fred Rogers. You know, the guy from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood." He’s a walking example of this quote. Fred Rogers loved children and wanted to create a safe, nurturing space for them. Everything he did on his show—from the way he spoke to kids to the topics he covered—was driven by that love. He tackled tough subjects like death, divorce, and even racial tension, but always with sensitivity and warmth. Rogers didn't need a manual on how to be good; his love for children and his mission guided every decision he made.

So, how can you apply this idea in your own life? Start by focusing on love in whatever you do. If you’re working on a project at your job, think about how it affects other people and try to put your heart into it. Love can be a compass, pointing you in the right direction. Next time you’re in a tough spot, ask yourself: "What would love do?" It’s a simple question, but it can lead to profound answers.

Imagine you’re having a fight with a friend. It’s easy to get caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong. But if you take a step back and think about how much you care about that person, your approach changes. Maybe instead of arguing, you listen. Maybe you find common ground or simply agree to disagree. The love you have for your friend shapes your actions in a more positive way.

Here’s a relatable story: Think about a time you saw someone drop their wallet. What did you do? Hopefully, you returned it. But why? Because, in that moment, you cared. You loved the idea of doing the right thing and helping someone out. You didn’t need a law to tell you to return the wallet—your love for doing good guided you.

In the end, it’s about trusting that love will lead you to make the best choices. Life is full of gray areas, and sometimes it’s hard to know the "right" thing to do. But if you act out of love, you’re more likely to make choices that you—and the people around you—can feel good about. So, love deeply and let that love guide what you do. You’ll find that when you lead with love, your actions naturally fall into place.
