Day 35 - Love

All great texts encourage us to love our enemy. The ancients understood that creative energy comes from love. Love makes life rich by making us part of something bigger than ourselves.

Reflection
  • An enemy does not have to be life-threatening or violent; an enemy can be a thought that gets us to look at something in a different way.
  • Consider how befriending someone you previously thought of as an “enemy” can transform that relationship.
Action
  • Today, write down three things you appreciate most about the person you like the least.
  • How can you change your perspective about this person?
