This last weekend I was at a conference. One day one of the speakers spoke on love. I was moved to desire to love more deeply. Here's some of the commitments I made:
I relinquish all control of others, and commit to the liberation all people.
I choose to be kind, even to the meanest.
I celebrate the success of others, even my enemies.
I refuse to protect, secure or improve my reputation.
I renounce pride, and consider others as better than I.
I decline making demands, even when it would be expected and accepted.
I forsake irritation, even with the most irritating.
I quit resentment, and keep no record of any wrongs done against me.
I work for and celebrate justice for others.
I propagate the truth of unconditional love, confident that it will win the day.
I will not give up on, lose faith in, or cease hoping for anyone.
I choose a love that endures through all circumstances.
That should keep me occupied. At least for today.
