How can I take a higher road of love, acceptance, forgiveness, kindness?

A higher road towards love, acceptance, forgiveness, and kindness starts with the willingness to be open. It is sparked by the ability to be confident in one’s beliefs while simultaneously having an objective view when listening to others. Listening is the key word. We have to depride ourselves and listen to our opposing sides. Understanding each other is the heart of solving disagreements. If there is no mutual willingness to be open to the other sides opinion and understand it, misunderstanding, hate, and rejection unfortunately results. We also should take in mind that time is fleeting; as we cannot be stepped on or be a pushover by constantly forgiving, we have to recognize that life is short and holding grudges does not only take the toll on our relationships but our own happiness. Another way to achieve more love and acceptance of others is finding love of yourself- making yourself be the best person that you can be- whatever that is for you. This creates happiness in one’s own self which then can be transmitted onto others. Like the Beatles once said, “Love is all you need”. It is very true. What makes something extremely enjoyable is the company we share it with, whether if it is at a party, work, or any activity. Love and peace is what we need to spread, and this comes with honesty, openness, compromise, self-love, and a desire to have bot of these entities.
