The Smallest Choices Hold the Greatest Love
My week started with two lessons that reverberated through my being.
The first? The truth will always reveal itself when you're ready to see it.
The second? Love is not in the grand gestures, it’s in the smallest, simplest choices.
One week ago, I made a decision that wasn’t easy, but was clear. I left a space that wasn’t mine. A space where I could have stayed, could have played the part, could have convinced myself there was something there for me.
But there wasn’t.
And for the first time, I didn’t stay out of obligation. I didn’t fight to earn something I didn’t need. I didn’t question my knowing.
I walked away.
And when I stepped back into my life, into my home, into my family, the lesson was waiting for me.
Love is presence. Love is noticing. Love is choosing, again and again, what actually matters.
For years, I fought battles that didn’t belong to me. I resisted things that didn’t need to be resisted. I carried weight that wasn’t mine, because I believed that was the cost of love.
But real love? The kind that lasts, the kind that transforms, the kind that actually builds something?
That love is in the simple, daily choices.
This week, I let go of a resistance I had carried for years. Over what? Things that, in the grand scheme of life, seem so small.
But they weren’t small to her.
They weren’t small to my wife, to the woman who has built this life with me.
And if they weren’t small to her, then they weren’t small at all.
Men, this week’s blog is for you.
Not the version of you that thinks love is about winning. Not the version of you that believes sacrifice is the same as leadership. Not the version of you that is still holding onto battles that don’t need to be fought.
This is for the version of you that is ready to make the simplest, most powerful choice of all:
To love the woman in front of you the way she actually needs to be loved.
