love dare day 8

Determine to become you spouse's biggest fan and to reject any thoughts of jealousy. To help you set your heart on your spouse and focus on their achievements, take yesterday's list of negative attributes and discreetly burn it. Then share with your spouse how glad you are about a success he or she recently enjoyed.

Reflexion questions: How hard was it to destroy the list? What are some positive experiences that you can celebrate in the life of your mate? How can you encourage them toward future successes?

Well, not hard at all. Actually, I didn't burn the sheet I just deleeted it from my computer. Easily accomplished, without any hardship.

As for positive experiences, well we are going through a lot of changes in regards to our new baby and I expressed how wonderful it was that She actually left the house to go to a soccer game. Sounds pretty easy, but you get an amazingly loving mom to let go of a 8 week old baby, even if it's only for a couple of hours. So we celebrated that fact. Got to tell you, that with the positive comments I made about her last night, really set things up for an eventful night (wink, if you know what I mean... hahahaha). Man I love this book.

You know, if I work on feeling the way I feel now, full of love, passion, patience and compassion, I don't believe encouraging my wife in regards to future successes will be a problem. Hum... something just came up when saying that.

Funny thing.... it's easier for me to encourage her in her successes when I'm successful as well. WOW, ok something to look into and or be aware of. Just like the saying goes... i'M ok with your success as long as it's not bigger than mine. So I choose to work on being my wife's biggest cheerleader. LIke I said, right now i'm ok and all is perfect..... we'll see.
