We can yield our ego to love …

Dear Friends …
If we want peace, we must trust love.
Love is brilliant, exacting, responsible, diligent. Love counts the cost, but has no fear of the consequences. It has no agenda and no political ties. It is unwavering, fearless, unifying, compassionate, and healing.
But love can’t be handed out. It can’t be put on or feigned. Love has to start within you and within me. We have to trust love enough to let go of our fear. Then, love can come from the inside out. And it can ignite the love in others.
It’s simple. It’s not easy. Many would rather take a pill, donate some money, or blame somebody else, somebody in a position of authority. But nobody has the authority to dictate love. Each one of us is given the privilege and the responsibility of choice.
We don’t have to play a big part, just our part. But we can trust that to be enough.
Truly, love is enough.… More
Don’t look for somebody who’s more impressed than you are …
If you’re looking for a partner to spend the rest of your life with and frequently find yourself disenchanted, consider raising the standard. I know, somebody else might suggest you lower it. Somebody else might tell you that you’re being too picky. But you wouldn’t really expect that from me, right?
We like the idea of wowing somebody in a relationship. It feels good! There’s an inherent problem in wowing somebody, though. It’s disenchantment. If he’s stunned by your brilliance, are you going to feel stimulated by his?
And, is he going to help you reach the next level — or encourage complacency? If he’s amazed by your incredible muscle tone, he might not be the rigorous workout partner you’re looking for. If she’s in awe of your pure heart, she’s not apt to discern a weak moment and help you get back on track.
If somebody is too impressed with who you are, beware of his standards. Consider her ability to keep your attention.
Of course, somebody can be wowed, without being wowed across the board. Maybe he’s wowed with your spirit but not your mind. Maybe she’s wowed with your mind but not your body. You might ask yourself what area is most important to you.… More
