I have a friend that is passionate in the smallest details. She either love it or hate it, no in between with her. I never could be this way, and thought I’m just happier this way. However, I understand the satisfaction one get from choosing sides and not sitting on the fence. Sitting on the fence is safe. There is no excitement in being safe. Safe is predictable.
I noticed that I no longer say I “like” something or someone. Or never noticed that I do. I either like you or I hate you. Okay, I will never hate you:) But when I really like you allot, I will say to you “I love you”. I’ve only been this way recently. I have naturally changed this way. But now that I have noticed this about me, I am choosing to be more this way. because I LOVE this about me.
By the same token, it’s better to like, because from like, you more inclined to love with time, which is also way more sustainable. What do we know for sure about time? Is that we only have the now (the present). Love who you with, love what you do OR do what you love and be with who you love. Enjoy every moment. If something does not feel right to you, trust your gut feel. Stay away from what you hate.
Love and hate are feelings and chooses, both at opposite ends. We have our heart and head to guide us in the right way. Both which is a muscle that can strengthen or weaken with the decisions we make.
