Two kinds of love:
→ Easy Love:
You love your phone, your games, your snacks—because they make you happy right now.
→ Real Love:
Loving G-d, the one who created the world and every single thing you enjoy.
Here’s the issue:
→ You’re loving the gifts more than the giver.
Here’s how you fix it:
1. Notice the source:
Next time you enjoy something, think, “Who created this amazing thing?”
2. Shift your love:
Remind yourself, “I only have this joy because G-d made it possible.”
(consider saying “thank you, I appreciate what you’ve given me”)
Try this right now:
Say, “Today I’ll do good stuff because I care about G-d.”
Even something simple like staying healthy or working honestly. If aren’t going to stay healthy or work honestly then you can think instead “G-d, life is so hard for me”. You still have a relationship.
Takeaway:
“Care about the creator, not just the creation.”
It’s simple. Try it. Watch your love grow.

The blog lists all the difference patterns to study, understanding patterns is how one can develop 'Daas' [felt knowing].
Update: As awe, trust, and love deepen, they can allow greater openness and intimacy with the Creator. That intimacy can include sadness when you notice how much more of His goodness can be revealed.
