Forgetting My Greatest Source of Motivation...

Quite often I forget...
Too caught up in self-absorption and fear...
To the point I may hurt others unwittingly...

I have to remember...
My greatest source of Motivation...
It will always be "To Love"...
To truly forget self-concern, To have courage...
To act for others, for my loved ones, for strangers, for all beings that feel...

Too often I've gotten lost on my path...
Hurting many along the way...
I can only wish for self-forgiveness...
So that I can move on and do better in bettering myself...

With me being more concerned for others...
Loving others more...
In the past I've used that motivation to give up habits not in line with my ideals...
If I can remember to tap into this...

Perhaps a mantra for myself can serve as a gentle reminder...
Especially when dealing with uncomfortable actions...
"Love" as in the verb rather than the noun...
Having genuine concern for others, and acting upon it accordingly...
Even if it takes much courage...
