Love is always a choice.

Love is about choosing to build.

Love doesn’t just happen.

You don’t fall in love, you build love.

When you build the right way though, it can feel like falling.

A planned, steady, decisive reaction is often better and more useful than an instant reaction.

Action is always good.

Calculated action is better.

While not every wants to be helped,

or will accept your help,

you can still help.

You do this by providing encouragement.

Forced, violent control is actually weak.

Forced, violent control doesn’t last.

Gentle control is strong.

Gentle control is lasting.

Patience is a mental superpower rooted in confidence and expressed in strength.

Holding on to our past pain allows us to explain away our victimhood.

The past pain continues to hurt us the more we hold on to it.

Our pain holds us back, our pain holds us down.

Once we let go, we have nothing to fall back on.

Once we let go, the only place we can go is up.

Stress is a response.

We choose our responses to every situation.

We choose our stress.

The will to continue on, to keep trying, to keep fighting for a right and just purpose is courage.

This spirit of resilience no matter the grief or pain is the ultimate example of courage

In order to find peace, we must get over, go through, go around, or get past anger, jealousy, resentment, pride, pain, hate, and control.

If you are willing to suffer for it, to endure pain for it, to die for it, then it is worth protecting, it is worth doing, it is worth loving.

If not, then you are wasting your time.

Find what/who is worth it and support that.
