“Love” by Roy Croft
I love you,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.
I love you,
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me.
I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can’t help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done
To make me good
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign.
You have done it
By being yourself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

Print this and draw a dot where you feel you exist today. Make a dot where you want to be.
Draw a line between the two dots.
Where your line crosses any border, make a new dot.
These new dots are your steps on your lifestyle goal.
Pin this map to your desktop.
Then write down answers to these 3 questions (everyday):
I. What 3 things do you need to shift one spot closer to where you want to be?
II. Which 3 people could you consult to help you manifest one or more of those 3 things?
III. Which 1 person could you reach out to today, and/or what 1 actionable step could you take right now on those 3 things.
Revisit this every morning for 15 minutes.

Never let a man make you feel weak or inferior because you are an emotional being.
Emotion is good; it is nothing to be ashamed of. Emotion makes us better – so long as it remains in its proper place: subject to truth and reason.

"Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you."
