You Can Recapture First Love

How to live full of love and confidence

We all have a story to tell...

Have you ever paused think about how opinionated we as humans can be. Everyone's got one from a-z. In a recent conversation with a CEO he made the statement "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say it all." We all would probably say amen to that. But yet we feel like we have the authority to say what we want about each other's lives. That our opinion will help someone else change, and as a bonus we expect their change to meet our expectations. Let's deconstruct that for a second. Change? We can't change another human being no matter how hard we try. Just ask a married person. Change happens when we are ready for a different experience or solution in our life. And like the old adage, "when the student is ready the teacher appears." Change happens because we start asking ourselves questions.  So what if we wouldn't share opinions unless asked. How about we take responsibility for our own life and leave it at that?  While we're on topic how about others peoples problems; maybe we think we have a more effective way of doing things, maybe someone messed up and we share our shoulda, coulda, woulda. Maybe we think we could have saved someone from going thru a painful experience. Our heart seems good. But does it really ever meet our expectations. We all have problems, and really they are opportunity for change. But an opinion won't clean up a mess, it adds to it. Like my mom used to tell all us children. If you make the bed, you're gonna have to lie in it and if you don't like how you did it you're the only one who can find the solution. A wise mom we have! .

Love treated like a business, means there are constant expectations of being repaid. Unlike Abba, who's love is relentless in affection and pursuit of relationship with no list of accounts to be paid in return.
