When we get feel pressured to “Do it my way”, we are attached to how things should be.

Yes, of course there are rules of loving taught by family systems and our religious beliefs.
There are rules of conduct to maintain honesty and respect, responsibility and cooperation.
When one follows the rules, we feel open, honest, confident, and trusting.
Consider creating rules that you prefer and inviting those you love to share their own.
Do you love with or without conditions?
Do you expect people to be and do as you wish?
Do you trust people are always doing what they really want?
Do you want the same for yourself?
Treat others, as you want to be treated.
Love others, as you want to be loved.
Respect others choices and changes, as you respect your own.
Agree to what is highest and best for both parties.
When we are choosing what is highest and best for both, everyone is at peace.
When we are asking others to choose what we want, we may be causing resentment.
When we are demanding that others follow our rules, we may set them up to lie or cheat.
When we invite others to express their own preferences, we are creating an environment of mutual respect.
I love you and trust you to do what is right and true for you.
I want you to create your life to work for you without causing harm to either of us.
I trust you to do what is right for you.
I free you to learn from your own life choices.
Let us remember to love ourselves with independence, confidence and respect.
As we truly love ourselves, we can love others as well.
And so I am fulfilled with my love for Self and for others,
Betty Lue
