Intentionally Choose Love

When we look honestly at our lives, we recognize that much of our action is driven by fear. Fear of missing out, fear of suffering, fear of being disliked, fear of being misunderstood, fear of chasing the wrong thing. But in every scenario, we can choose to intentionally let another aspect drive us. Love. Love isn’t some soft Hollywood romance movie emotion. Love is the thing that keeps us going, that makes moments worthwhile and lives worthwhile. At every moment we have the option to choose between being driven by fear, or love. 

THIS WEEK: Reflect on the following… What are you afraid of right now? How is this driving your decision-making and behavior? Is it creating the results you want?

All the best,

Steve Lawson - Monk Manual Founder
