S02 Ep86 Wordle and Agape

Ever Better Today

Have you played Wordle? It’s a game published by the New York Times where you try to identify the “word of the day” in six turns or less.

I’m taking on a challenge from my “Wordle friend” to use today’s word in a sentence. And of course, I’m taking it a step further and creating a podcast around it. Today’s word…

AGAPE

-----------------------------------------------

Welcome to Ever Better Today: the daily podcast for creating your optimal business, career, or overall life in ten minutes or less. I’m Lisa Conners Vogt, Executive and Leadership Coach and founder of Ever Better Coaching and Consulting. Let’s jump in!

What does "Agape" mean?

1. Agape love is unconcerned with the self and concerned with the greatest good of another.
2. Agape is a choice. It is a state of mind, a way of being with yourself and others, a way of being in the world.
3. Agape requires faithfulness, commitment, and sacrifice without expecting anything in return. The love that we never expect, the kind that makes us vulnerable.The love that fills our hearts with joy, happiness, and peace.

Agape can also be read as agape - as in… I was so astounded that my mouth was agape!

Agape reminds me of Agapi Stephanopoulos, a speaker, author, and facilitator with Thrive Global. Agapi, whose sister is Ariana Huffington, is Greek and I wonder if she was named after agape love. Check out her books including, Unbinding the Heart - A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity, and Unconditional Love and Wake Up to the Joy of You: 52 Meditations and Practices for a Calmer, Happier Life.

Wordle is a fun and easy way to keep your vocabulary fresh with a new set of letters to discover.

Now it’s your turn, what is your favorite word?
