“Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism”
— Erich Fromm

Simplified Meaning:
Love doesn't come easily or automatically. Just like learning a new skill, it needs practice and effort. Imagine learning to play a musical instrument; you can't master it overnight. It takes time, patience, and a lot of dedication. Similarly, loving someone deeply and genuinely involves being disciplined and focusing on the relationship. You also need to be patient when things don't go perfectly and trust the person you love. It's important to put their needs and feelings before your own sometimes, instead of always thinking about yourself. Following these steps helps you build a strong, lasting love.
