Love is a decision, not just an emotion. It is selfless, and a commitment. — © Lydia McLaughlin
Love is a decision, not just an emotion. It is selfless, and a commitment.
Love is pretty much a decision anyway. Just like happiness. You can decide to either love someone or not, be happy or not. The rest is just commitment to the idea.
Love is an unconditional commitment to an imperfect person. To love somebody isn`t just a strong feeling. It is a decision, a judgment, and a promise.
True biblical love is a selfless commitment of one’s body, soul, and spirit to the betterment of the other person.
A decision is made with the brain. A commitment is made with the heart. Therefore, a commitment is much deeper and more binding than a decision
I have always believed that love is what helps you develop into the best person you are. It's a selfless emotion, but people usually follow the corrupted version.
Selfless-giving burns away the layers of the onion. Purity and humility keep meditation and selfless-giving clear. Love radiates through the entire practice because we do all of it only for love.
A pure love is a selfless love, but can desire ever be selfless?
Love is more than an emotion, it is a decision.
When no one is selfless in a relationship, there is war. When one is selfless, there is peace. When both are selfless, there is joy.
His (God) love is not a passing fancy or superficial emotion; it is a profound and unshakable commitment that seeks what is best for us.
An emotion is only an emotion. It's just a small part of your whole being. You are much more than your emotion. An emotion comes, stays for a while, and goes away, just like a storm. If you're aware of that, you won't be afraid of your emotions.
Selfless giving does not imply superiority. Selfless giving is about love.
I'm not sure there can be loving without commitment, although commitment takes all kinds of forms, and there can be commitment for the moment as well as commitment for all time. The kind that is essential for loving marriages - and love affairs, as well - is a commitment to preserving the essential quality of your partner's soul, adding to them as a person rather than taking away.
Commitment is not a barrier to freedom. Commitment is the *exercise* of freedom, the act of making a choice or decision and meaning it. The one without the other is meaningless.
For children love is a feeling; for adults, it is a decision. Children wait to learn if their love is true by seeing how long it lasts; adults make their love true by never wavering from their commitment.
The emotion, and the other aspect is that this relate to many different obstacle in life. Emotion, yes, I love emotion, for your information, very much so.
