Choose to Love / Wähle zu Lieben / Escolhe Amar / Escoge Amar

Love is like the air. It may be hard to see – but it is in you and all around you and it is always available for you. It is easy to lose sight of Love, and feel you can not place your faith in it.

But in fact, daily life is saturated with moments of Love. Love is a series of choices. Love is making a choice every day, either to love or not to love. That is it.

You either continue the process or you do not. We fall in and out of Love.

There is a difference between feeling Love for someone (caring about a person) and loving someone (choosing to love that person). You may have Love for someone forever.

But that does not mean you choose to love that person forever. The choice to love is not a feeling; it is an action. That is why it is so difficult.

Love requires you to do something. Like chemistry, the ability to love is not a constant; it is a variable. It fluctuates, depending on where you are in your life and what you are struggling with.

Sometimes it is easy to love; sometimes it is extremely difficult. But at the end of the day, it is always a choice.

‘How do you know if it is Love?’ That is not the question. The question is, ‘Do you choose to love this person or not?’

Right now. Not tomorrow, but today. Make a choice: Yes or no. If the answer is yes, love as hard as you can.

Love with everything you have got – that is, your capacity right now at this point in your life. If the answer is no, let the fall make you stronger.
