Let’s set the stage for this podcast discussion by explaining what we mean by Proactive vs Reactive Love. When we say Proactive Love, we are discussing AccountableLove. This is a love built from setting a foundation with principles your relationships are built on. The agreements (principle) allow two or more people to walk towards each other, even when they are not at their best. Proactive Love is signing a contract with words and making them a reality with daily actions. It’s the acknowledgment, I am not perfect, but that will not stop me from striving for excellence; Love.
Reactive Love is the Love we always hear people promoting. The entitlement of secrets, yet the promise of loyalty. The “if you love me, you will accept that I will think selfishly.” Yet, this Love expects people, honorable people, to be there to help dishonorable people through selfish decisions. Reactive Love is “I said it in the heat of the moment,” “the professional apologizers,” “the I feel worst than you feel for something I did to you,” Love. The idea that Love is accepting people coming up short. What type of Love do you want, Proactive vs Reactive Love? The choice is still ours!
The LoveSnobs decided to Vodcast on Facebook Live for the first time. It was a different experience, but we were excited to try it.
