I have a great marriage.
People ask me, “Bo, what’s your secret? If there’s one thing that I can
do to have a great marriage, what would it be?”
I tell them my secret.
It’s very simple, really.
Every day in my marriage, I face a choice: To be right or to be loving.
And I always choose to be loving.
There are times when I’m totally convinced that I’m right and my wife
is wrong.
But I’ve long decided never to insist that I’m right. I just love her.
Believe me, this decision has made my marriage—and my life—so enjoyable.
And my body is healthier too!
I heard Deepak Chopra once talk about this. He said if you want to be
healed, you have to lose your need to defend your point of view.
War is the defense of a point of view.
But war has never worked. Just look at the history of the world. No
one wins in a war!
Hey, it’s great to have a point of view. (It’s healthy.)
But don’t be attached to it.
Because no two people will experience reality in the same way.
Repeat: When you lose your rigid need to be right, you experience healing.
Do you want to be healthy?
Here’s my prescription: Don’t judge. Don’t label.
Also, if you want to be healthy, choose the people you hang out
with—those who don’t add to your stress.
Have cheerful friends. Proverbs
22:24 says, Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate
with one easily angered…
Friend, God wants to heal you.
God wants you to be healthy.
This is His great desire for you.
And the only way to be healthy is to live in love.
In the same way that fish need to live in the water, you too need to
live in love. Move towards connection with my four prescriptions.
? Open up more.
? Touch more.
? Serve more.
Fill your life with love!
And you will be healed.
Have an amazing 2024.
