Consider the Consequences of Your Actions. Our actions affect others. Remember that the ends do not justify the means. How we get to our goal is just as important as getting there. If this wasn’t so, we could rationalize abusing others in the name of achieving an end.

Finding the time to do things you both enjoy as a couple is a great way to spend time together, break routines and re-energize your relationship. If Valentine’s Day seems stressful or stupid to you because you are either single and don’t want to be forced to spend time with other singles, or you just can’t stand the idea of love, don’t treat the day as a “Valentine’s Day.” Treat it as a “Treat Yo Self” Day. Spread love and positivity regardless! :)

Have you ever ridden on a Ferris wheel? It seems like you get seated and then wait forever to get to the top. When you reach the top, you know there is someone at the bottom. Then we’re off. Around we go. Up and down. Up, then down. Up, down. It’s like experiencing joy in the journey of life with all the highs and lows.
