Hello everyone and welcome to my blog at this hour. Today is the first day of the month of August and it doubles as the start of a new week. It is amazing to look back and see how time flies because sooner or later we'd come to the end of 2022 and start a brand new year 2023. In all of our dealings with people throughout the year there are moments when it is quite easy to show love but other times we have numerous options and love isn't one of them.

We may have passed through painful experiences that hurt us badly especially when it is from people that we hold dear to our heart like close friends and family. The pain may have been to the extreme point where all we seek is vengeance and every attempt to make us handle the issue with love will be futile. No matter how the urge to let love prevail comes up we'd never give it a chance.
Also, we do not only resist the urge to show love to people around us, we sometimes withhold love from ourselves which is often birthed as a result of guilt and regret. There are some times when we make bad decisions or mistakes that we feel like we will never forgive ourself. For instance, when you say bad words to someone to the point that their self-esteem became so low and they did something bad to themselves, you may feel guilty for being the cause of their downfall and decide not to love yourself anymore. The spirit of guilt can be very powerful.

However, even in those moments when we think that love cannot prevail, love can always be an option. It is not entirely impossible to give love a chance. Well, it may be a tough decision to make but with time you'd see that their is no benefits in handling issues with vengeance or hate. Choosing love is more satisfying and rewarding at the end of the day. There are many benefits that choosing love offers which include healing and moving on with life as quick as possible instead of wallowing in self-pity and guilt.
Love will help you to feel a lot better from within yourself and propel you to be at your best rather than hate that will make you spend your quality time plotting evil/revenge towards your fellow man who wronged you. Hate will only complicate issues and even leave a lasting negative impression. It is more profitable to embrace love and stand against every form of negativity.
Most people think that when they choose to handle situations without love that it is only the other party involved that will feel it. Whereas in actual fact you will also feel it because it will leave a mark in your life which may sometimes come to light in form of a guilty conscience. Guilty conscience have made so many people lose their purpose in life because they can't just forget the bad things they've done to others.

Take it up as a challenge to treat people the way you'd like others to treat you, which is mostly with love. Show love to others even in the toughest of the moments. Resist the urge to say something hurtful to people even when they hurt you. Take some moment to breathe and say something nice that you would not regret afterwards and this is that which lies in love.
