LOVE is not IRRITABLE

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! Love will lead you to forgive instead of holding a grudge. To be grateful instead of greedy. To be content rather that rushing into more debt. Love encourages you to be happy when someone else succeeds rather that lying awake at night in envy. Love syas "share the inheritance" rather than "fight with your relatives". It reminds you to prioritize your family rather than sacrifice them for a promotion at work. In each decision, love ultimately lowers your stress and helps you to release the venom that can build up inside. It then sets up your heart to respond to the people around you with patience and encouragement rather that anger and exasperation.

"He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city." - Proverbs 16:32

From the book The Love Dare
