I have only been reading this book for a short time but I want to comment on how much it is helping. I notice myself constantly changing the negative things i am thinking and have them come out in a more positive way. Jason has noticed too!!! I am so happy I got this book and since starting it, I have also noticed that I am more positive in everyday life as well! Its a great feeling and I'm so glad i get to continue this journey!!!
My last dare was to not be selfish. The chapter teachers that we are all taught from childhood to be selfish and look out for ourselves. I was happy to realize that while I have my selfish moments, I am also a very giving person and I give for the joy of it, not to receive!
Yesterday Jason was very sick, so I took time from work to go to the store and get him some meds and chicken noodle soup. I really wanted to make the soup for him, but since I was without a car for the day, and Jason is impatient when it comes to his food, I just got him the canned stuff instead. I didn't go out and spend a bunch of money, I just got something that would show him that I was thinking of him and I hope he gets better. Of course he didn't eat it, but I didn't stress over it. He appreciated it and it was the thought that counted.
Lesson 4:
Love is thoughtful
The Dare:
Contact your spouse sometime during the business of the day. Have no agenda other than asking how he or she is doing and if there is anything you could do for them.
I really like this one and I cant wait to call Jason. I know this will put a smile on his face!!!! I realize that most of these dares are things I should be doing in the first place. We both did them when we started courting each other so why dont we do them now? I dont know the answer to that, but i plan on changing that!!
