The Puzzle of Love - Day 5

At the beginning of this year, we talked about going on a treasure hunt and looking for values.

Some of them would be gained the hard way. Some handed to us by a friend. Some would be worked out in us as a result of going through tough, sometimes painful circumstances in our lives. We also talked about how important it is to remember that once we get handed a value, it’s because we’re going to need to use it, probably all our lives. We talked about how important it is to actually practice these values. Just reading about them is like reading a book about exercise. It doesn’t do any good until we apply the ideas in our lives.Action: It’s hard to work on the value of love. It’s tougher yet to open your heart.

But doing your best to work on—and live by—your values is something you can do.
