Perfection
- © Roger Cempaka, Photographer
To
surrender to love, you will need to pay attention
to any of
your own emotions, moods, or thoughts
that might
lead you to act in less than loving ways.
You may
need to surrender pride, a sense of self-importance,
or the
need to have your way, to feel superior to,
or to have
power over others.
You will
want to let go of those emotions
that make
you feel less than, inferior,
or
doubtful of your worth.
You will want to train yourself to
think about others in positive ways,
even if
you feel they have hurt you.
You will
want to bring about harmonious conditions
through
your speech, actions, and thoughts.
Discover any reactions to
others that may contain
even the
slightest desire to hurt them.
Watch your
moods and feelings so you can still be loving to others
even when
you are experiencing negative emotions yourself.
Surrender
to love, and respond to those around you with kindness.
Acknowledge yourself every time you choose to respond
with love
even when others act in unloving ways.
In
addition, forgive yourself for those times when you could not
or did not
want to act lovingly.
