Well, I am glad to say that I am still on it. This has been a good week. I have made sacrifices and they have paid off. I have taken advantage of all my free time and in the midst of it all, I still made time for my wife. I planned my extra time around her schedule. I made sure when I was going to have a late night, the late night was one where she was going to have a late night as well. I didn't get up earlier than her but rather when she got up. I cancelled one of my appointments yesterday so that I could clean up the house for our guest we are having over tomorrow. I knew that if I did it ahead of time, this would ease her mind. This is what life is all about-making sacrifices for the one that you love. This is what truly makes me happy. Knowing that I have given my all and it being well worth it is what it is all about!
After I had finished cleaning the house, I sat down to talk to my wife. We starting talking and I asked her a question. I asked her, "why do we wait for things to change when we have the ability to change it and make our life better?" She paused for a minute and said, "I don't know." This question has been pondering me for a while now. The reason being is because when I talk to people and they tell me about the problems that they are having, I notice that by the end of the conversation they have told me the way that they can solve it but don't want to do it because they are waiting for the other person to make a move. Doesn't this seem to be a little confusing? If a person knew how to get a million dollars would they wait for someone to give it to them knowing that they can go get it themselves? This is the way I look at it. If you can make yourself and others happy by changing something, go ahead and change it and don't wait on someone to come change it for you.
Me and my wife had a disagreement, a bad disagreement and she was the one that was in the wrong. She and I both came to the conclusion that she was wrong. I knew she felt bad and even though she was wrong and I was hurt by it, I didn't let it stop me from making sure that her feelings were not totally destroyed by this. I sent her flowers everyday for the rest of the week. This took her off guard and she didn't understand why I would be sending her flowers when she was wrong. She figured that she should be the one sending flowers to me. In the world that we live in, she was right. But I believe in a different type of love than the love that you see on tv or see in the street. I believe in a type of love that doesn't wait on someone else to make things happen. I believe in a love that goes beyond what society thinks and make its own thoughts. I believe in true love. The love that loves regardless of what others think or say.
This is the same love that made Jesus turn the other cheek as he knew Judas would betray him. This is the same love that made Jesus asked for forgiveness of those that were trying and succeeded at killing him.
Don't wait on someone else to make you happy or make something happen for you. Let go of your pride and let love take over. You will find out that life is easier when this happens. It doesn't make any sense to be miserable when you have the ability to be happy.
