February 14: Be Love

I’ve been listening to Wayne Dyer’s How to Be a No-Limit Person on Audible, and one thing that really stuck with me is his teaching of choosing to be love rather than insisting on being right.

In our everyday lives, we often find ourselves caught up in being “right,” and it can get in the way of connecting with others on a deeper level. It's important for us to shift away from ego-driven arguments and instead focus on understanding. Recently, this has become a motto for me, especially when I catch myself feeling frustrated or negative toward my husband: "Be Love, not right."

When we prioritize being right, we put up walls in our relationships, creating space for resentment and conflict. When we remember to BE love, this allows us to see beyond differences and have more compassion, empathy, and forgiveness. This shift not only strengthens our relationships but also helps us grow as individuals. Accepting people for who they are, without trying to change them or prove a point, can pave the way for genuine connection. For me, it’s helped me let go of seeking validation (especailly from my husband) and instead focus on cultivating inner peace and understanding.

Love is a choice we can make every single day. And with today being Valentine’s Day, let’s make the conscious decision to be love rather than be right. Keeping this motto front and center can enrich our lives, improve our relationships, and make a positive impact on the world around us.
