The Idea of Love

Love is always a choice. Love is proven in action. 

We love ideas, which help us create more ideas and then we act on those ideas. 

Love is not an action we do “to someone”, but rather love is something we do “for someone”.

Often, we think we need to prove our love or show our love, but those actions are usually just selfish, or done to be seen as loving. True actions of love are doing what the other person needs and wants, not what we think is needed or wanted. 

 

How To Build True Belief

Doing these three things builds, saves, restores, and strengthens true belief: 

  1. Show Up – Do what you are supposed to do. 
  2. Show Gratitude & Ask For Help – Practice sincere meditation, prayer, and communication. 
  3. Study Truth – Study what you need to study. 

When done: go back to #1. 

Taking these actions makes it impossible to not have true faith. 

Conflict and Contention

Conflict is not contention. 

All contention includes conflict, but conflict does not have to include contention. 

The intention and motivation behind the individual in a conflict determines if there is contention. 

Conflict is a difference in idea and perspective. 

Contention is contempt or anger mixed with the need to be right.
