ON WALKING THE ROCKY ROAD TO LOVE

I wonder if the road to love isn't rocky because it so often originates with surrender, a hot-button word that translates to our ego as loser. In fact, surrender of our wants is the path to love. We begin to feel we are on the right track when our resistance evolves within our very being to acceptance. From there it's an easy...make that easier...transition to love. 

Resisting others only cements their resistance to us. The key here is remembering that what we see is always ourself only works for us when applied to ourself alone...as opposed to remembering it for application to the other so s/he will see their error and change.

We must loose our resistance and let it go. Releasing our resistance, or changing our mind, is literally turning our very thoughts upside down. So, we go to God for God who can and will intervene in our life in our benefit...our mind set to I am right is thus reset to we are right. And we know love.

Thank you.

P.S. To quote Cicero, I have always been of the opinion that unpopularity earned by doing what is right is not unpopularity at all...but glory. (Which quote I got from the comic strip Candorville, 2/23/19.)
