TODAY'sQUOTES
"Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must be first overcome."
- Samuel Johnson,was an English author. "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt, was the twenty-sixth President of the United States. "The only man who behaved sensibly was my tailor; he took my measurement anew every time he saw me, while all the rest went on with their old measurements and expected them to fit me." - George Bernard Shaw, was an Oscar winning & Nobel prize winning Irish playwright. |

 Many folks think that being Loving and being a push over are the same thing. But they aren't. Being Loving doesn't mean that you just let people walk all over you and be "nice" all the time - far from it. Being Loving means having boundaries, standing up for what you believe in and not letting people walk all over you. There is a fine line between standing up for yourself and being a jerk. And it takes some time and some mistakes to understand the difference.
Being a Loving person doesn't mean you are a wet noodle. It doesn't mean you acquiesce to the demands of others. Love has many faces. Some of them are kindness, beauty, compassion and patience and sometimes the face of Love is bold, firm and brave. Every moment is different, but if you ask the question "What would Love do now?" you'll get the answer.
There are times when Love takes to the streets in protest. There are times when Love says, "this far and no further". There are times when Love says, "I'm not going to let you treat me this way anymore". And there are times when Love says, "Enough is enough!"
Many times we think that to be Loving means that we have to let other people walk all over us. And that's just not true. I used to think that being Loving meant that I could never rock the boat. But I've come to understand that sometimes we HAVE to rock the boat in order to fulfill our purpose of being the Presence of Love on the planet.
Being Loving does not mean you are weak - au contraire! Being Loving means that you are STRONG! Strong in your conviction, strong in your compassion, strong in your vulnerability and strong in your forgiveness.
This is also not a hall pass to be a jerk! It's actually a call to be strong - to stand up for what you believe in and to know that you are worthy of having the life that your heart desires. This is not at the expense of being mean to others, no, but it also is not at the expense of tolerating injustice and foul play.
We were sent to be the Presence of Love on the planet, with an open heart, with high standards and with infinite compassion. There is a balance between the stern and the soft, but know that far more than a wishbone, we simply just need a back bone!
Love,
Mastin
