The Golden Door: Commitment

Feelings are powerful but fickle. They can send us into the stratosphere, or land us on the curb outside the hospital. ;-) They can teach us, but they can't lead us. What can? Commitment.
Living fearlessly and with intention puts commitment at the forefront of your life. What are you committed to? Are you committed to a person, or to a job, or to something larger? Are you committed to a way of life? An attitude? A way of being?
You must be committed if you want to love fearlessly. Committed to staying true to yourself. Committed to accepting yourself as is. Committed to satnding up for what you believe in. Committed to expressing your essential nature so that all of you comes shining through. And once you have found that person and made the choice to love, you must stay committed to the relationship...
Being committed doesn't mean you can't end a relationship if it becomes unsalvageable or abusive. You can and should end any relationship that might harm you. Commitment is not a blind vow, it is an act of faith made with your eyes wide open. Loving fearlessly, you make a commitment like this only with someone who seed and loves you for who you are, someone whom you desire to know better any other being on the planet, whom you want to practice accepting and loving unconditionally. As long as your committment with this person stands, there is no room fro questioning, doubling abck, or maneuvering. THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER, " LET'S WORK IT OUT"...

TRUTH #1: LOVE IS UP TO YOU

Love is messy. It is rarely what we think it should be, and we are rarely what we would like to be when we are in love. On one hand we want love to be enough. Yet, on the other hand, we rarely satisfied with the love we have. So fear and love battle it out. We become silent when we desperately want to connect. We jump in too afst when we know we must slow down. We act cool when we feel hot. We wake up in the middle of the night to snuggle next to the one we love, yet we barely touch each other during the day. We shout in anger as we pray for patience. We put on an act, then worry we won't be loved for who we really are. We reach out. We shut down. We cry. We run. We doubt. Yet we can't live without it. Love is messy. it won't be confined 2 our preconceived ideas. we want love 2 just happen but love isn't convenient. its highs are higher and its lows are lower than we are ever prepared for.
