What will your legacy of love be?

One of the things which damages relationships — between friends, lovers, family, partners, marriages, colleagues — isn’t having a misunderstanding or disagreement, it’s the amount of time that we take to recover after them.
To resolve things completely. To reconnect.
Leaving the issue can ruin hours of a day, days, weeks, months or longer!
And we don’t have enough time on this planet to spend them unhappy.

Our failures, our mistakes, our problems, our heartbreaks and past hurts are all opportunities to create workability in the future. We can use these to say hmmmm well that didn’t feel good, and that wasn’t workable, so what could work? The highest expression of ourselves doesn’t need to be right — right or wrong doesn’t matter. Any breakdown IS our access to a breakthrough — our access to life changing and being a better way.

Love matters. Connection matters. Workability matters. Saying sorry matters. Trying stuff matters, not giving up matters.
Our daily actions make up the daily fabric of our life.
We are what we do & say. Daily. In life, and in love.

Our legacy isn’t what we say it is — we don’t get to choose it. It is what others say about us. It is how we leave others feeling after each encounter with us.

Bust-ups happen. We all disagree at some point.
Sh*t happens.
What we choose to make things mean after these, matters.
And it is what we do next that really counts, and will lead to our personal love legacy…
Who do you want to be remembered as?
