THE HIGHEST ORDER OF LEARNING: The School of Love
PURPOSE & PERSONAL LEADERSHIPFOR CHANGEMAKERSNONPROFITS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
We live in a world that rightly celebrates education, credentials, strategy, and skill. These are essential. They teach us what to do and how to do it.
But the highest order of learning—the level that produces outcomes that actually endure—is not mastered in lecture halls alone. It is refined in what I call the School of Love.
Think about the difference between knowing how to cook and preparing a meal for someone you deeply care about. The same ingredients. The same techniques. Yet something shifts. Attention deepens. Intention sharpens. Excellence becomes personal. The goal moves from “getting it done” to “serving well.” And suddenly, the impact multiplies.
The School of Love is where knowledge becomes wisdom in motion. Where skill is guided by purpose. Where competence is governed by conscience.
This is the space where love trains us to become an extension of the presence and power of God—so our work is no longer driven by fame, gain, fear, obligation, or guilt. It’s driven by alignment.

Here, the selfish self wrestles with the highest self. And the highest self begins to win.
This is where communities change. Environments heal. Systems shift. Not because we chased success—but because success was finally accompanied by fulfillment.
This is where the peace a millionaire still searches for is found.
And perhaps this is what’s been missing from so many impressive resumes, powerful platforms, and ambitious visions: The School of Love.
Because the highest degree is not what you know, it is who you’ve become while using it and Why you are doing what you do.
