I recognize that love is an art that requires patience, confidence, discipline, concentration, faith, and practice daily, as Erich Fromm told us in his book, The Art of Loving. I have learned that life and the lives of the ones you love are happening now and today. Live it with love now. For so many years, my priorities were wrong. This caused bad choices and unhappiness for me and for those I loved.
Priorities are a key component to a more fulfilling, loving life.
In my opinion, this has to remain constant to experience true love of oneself, which allows one to share a journey of rising love with a partner, which, in turn, is the example partners must set for their children and for all people they encounter in life. Love is an action. Treat it as such. Actions speak louder than words when it comes to love. I judge no other man or woman in this world.
