Love has no agenda …

When partners stop competing, they can join forces and bring out the best in each other.

You might think you don’t compete, but if you’re always trying to be right, or think you are, you’re competing. You’re letting fear and ego win, instead of letting your relationship win.… More

We all have moments when we feel not just connected to the God of the Universe, but one with the God of the Universe. And in those moments, we know anything is possible. We know that we are boundless love, and that nothing can change or deter love.

But we often get scared. And when we do, we also lose our certainty, the certainty of love; because fear displaces love.

Let’s remember that nobody else, nothing else, can change our true identity. We can choose fear, which temporarily pushes love aside. But not even our fear can alter our essence.… More

Every time we tell a lie, we miss an opportunity to let the truth play out. We put love on the bench.

Love wins. But it can only win in my life when I let it in the game.… More

As we become aware of the choices, we begin to evolve beyond the fight, flight, or freeze instinct. We realize that to choose love is to be true to our spiritual self; and that to choose fear is to betray our spiritual self and love.

Fear hides behind our security blanket, our comfort zone, our ego, doubt, and any form of deception. Love beckons us to stretch, to trust the unknown, to act on faith, and to choose the truth written on our heart (regardless of the consequences). … More

We get what we want, as long as we are willing to go for it. And when we’re unwilling, maybe it’s not what we really want.

One step at a time, we learn how to work for what we want. We create a life that reflects what we have learned so far, and what we have yet to learn.

If we want to know what lesson we’re in the middle of, all we have to do is take a good look at our life.

And I love you the same way I love me–just the way we are.… More

We’re bound to wonder why somebody else — you know, the loose cannon down the street — can’t seem to commit (or break away, as the case may be) once and for all. But we don’t have to look that far to find an emotional roller coaster. Chances are there’s somebody under your own roof you adore one minute and want to blast to the moon the next.

Our emotions can be irrational and still override our intellects.

“Emotion is stronger than thought, preceding it both in evolution and in the wiring of our brain, so an emotion — frustration, rage, sadness, sexual desire, fatigue — can take on a reality independent of external circumstance,” says Henry S. Lodge, M.D., in “Younger Next Year for Women” (also true for men, but I read the women’s version of the book).

It’s no wonder we find ourselves reacting disproportionately when we get caught up in our emotions. While intellectually we know what makes sense — and manage to act on that at least occasionally — our emotions often kick in, particularly in affairs of the heart. No brainer, right?

We may act on the “reality” created by our emotions — or at least spout off about it — almost before we know it.… More
