Patch Adams, whose real name is Hunter Doherty is a man that is changing the world by loving others with his love strategy. A love strategy is your deliberate way of how to tell someone that you love them. He is a doctor who has been working in an alternative health model to provide medical care free for humanity. He is also a clown and a social activist. Patch was portrayed by Robin Williams in the movie of the same name.
The 1998 film Patch Adams was based on Adams’ life and his views on medicine. Adams has heavily criticized the film. He said that out of all aspects of his life and activism, the film portrayed him merely as a funny doctor.
Patch’s Love Strategy
I attended one of Patch’s conferences. He was smiling and happy, joking, and possesses great energy. He told us about his lifestyle where he sleeps 3 hours a day and travels more than 10 months per year to treat patients mainly in refugee camps or war zones. Patch knows he can make a difference by just showing up and just telling others that he loves them. At the conference, he shared pictures of patients whose health improved radically just by hugging and loving them and making them smile. Also commented on his vision of the world where teachers could get better salaries, where children or women will never be exploited. A loving vision for humanity.
Tell someone that you love them with your love strategy
One of the teachings that impacted me the most was Patch’s view on love. He said we should make sure we know how to tell someone that you love them by having a love strategy. Then he challenged us by asking: “What is your love strategy?” He explained to us that it is important to have such a strategy to make sure you learn to love others, to love yourself and to show up and show that love. In other words, you need to think and decide in advance your love strategies to make sure you spread love i a way that others can feel your love. As a consequence of these strategies you will also feel great with you!. Think of ways you can readily follow to help and take care of others, to bring light and joy in other people’s lives. I found it a brilliant idea.
When we learn to love and have a clear strategy on how to tell someone that we love them, we are not afraid anymore of being loving persons and expressing that love. Letting others know that we love them can literally change lives. You don’t have to be brilliant or rich. You just have to care and show you care. When you care about others, others will be caring more about you and this will immediately position yourself in a higher vibe, a new frequency, the frequency of love.
Decide your love strategy
How are you going to spread joy, care, love and laughter in this world?. You can contribute now to this cause, at least in your circle, at your office, in your neighborhood or at your place with your family.
Your strategy might be using kind words as a habit no matter the situation. Some people remain silent when someone needs love. You can decide you will hug someone or anyone in need of a good 6-second hug even if they are not close to you. Another strategy might be to offer hours of service to people in need of your experience and knowledge i.e. pro bono coaching, blogging important information for free, visiting old people abandoned by their families. Any deed big or small you can do now to show people you care. Show people you love them. Start taking action and show to the planet that you are one of those rare, inspiring and amazing human being who has a love strategy in place just like Patch Adams. Hats off!
