Committed to Love

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:

1. I relinquish all control of others, and commit to the liberation all people.
2. I choose to be kind, even to the meanest.
3. I celebrate the success of others, even my enemies.
4. I refuse to protect, secure or improve my reputation.
5. I renounce pride, and consider others as better than I.
6. I decline making demands, even when it would be expected and accepted.
7. I forsake irritation, even with the most irritating.
8. I quit resentment, and keep no record of any wrongs done against me.
9. I work for and celebrate justice for others.
10. I propagate the truth of unconditional love, confident that it will win the day.
11. I will not give up on, lose faith in, or cease hoping for anyone.
12. I choose a love that endures through all circumstances.

That should keep me occupied. At least for today.
