Elana K. Arnold Quote: “You can’t make people love you. Love isn’t something you earn, or something you deserve. Love just is. Or it isn’t. Anyway, there are more important things than love. Like service. Being of service. With love, you’re waiting around for someone to give it to you. But service, that’s something you give. And you don’t have to give it just to people you love. It doesn’t matter who you serve. It’s the serving that matters.”
