Convenience or power, you choose.

Commitment is not a feeling; it is a choice. Commitment that comes and goes is just a preference based on convenience. Being committed doesn’t mean we don’t make mistakes; it means we practice course correcting with grace as soon as we notice we’ve begun to stray.

Unconditional love is the same. It is a choice. Love that comes and goes is not love; it is liking based on convenience. Love does not mean we can’t feel our entire spectrum of emotions; it means we practice taking responsibility for our judgments, fears, and stories as soon as we notice they’ve begun pulling us off track.

We don’t have to commit or love. Yet, these choices are where our freedom lives because they help us be who we want to be no matter what changes.

What would life be like if you chose instead of waiting to feel it?
