Liking, learning, and loving

People are not supposed to like everything you do. You are not even supposed to like everything you think, feel, and do. However, we have been trained to create lives around avoiding what we don’t like when, really, our relationship with things that we don’t like or that other people don’t like holds our greatest opportunity to learn to love.

We become fixated on what we don’t like when we forget that we can have love regardless. What if in the moments you didn’t like what you were experiencing, or someone else didn’t like what you said or did, you could just let that happen and focus on love instead?

Our small personalities will always dislike things. This doesn’t mean that the truth, which is love, goes away. Would you be willing to stop wasting your energy resisting what is meant to happen and harness it to focus on what is steady and true instead?
