Love Is a Decision

Love is patient. Love is kind. Love keeps no record of wrongs. I strive to live within the circle of Love.

But last week, on two consecutive days, I had challenges. People were not giving me what I thought I deserved. The first time it happened, I forced the issue and got what I wanted, with a few ruffled feathers from those I accosted. I didn't call anyone any names, but my forceful energy was clear, and I felt that I needed to make amends, which I did.

The second time it happened, on the very next day, I remembered how bad it had made me feel the day before to accost others. So I made a decision to accept what is and be gracious. Before I left that office, everyone was thanking me for my patience. No amends were needed.

Love is a decision.

You write it: When have you made a decision to stay in love instead of venting your frustration?
