Acting Out Of Love

Acting out of love feels right and, in addition, has a true power or force to it, as opposed to the false or hollow power of acting out of ego.  Having done both, I can feel the difference.  I now prefer acting out of love, though several years ago, that was not possible, it simply was not part of my consciousness, I had never been exposed to the idea.  At that time, I criticized, judged and manipulated others, forcing them to follow my lead.  At present, acting out of love seems to spontaneously influence the behavior of those around me, an example of true power.
