I saw this quote:

Now I know. Only love can save this world. So I stay. I fight, and I give… for the world I know can be. This is my mission, now. Forever.
— Wonder Woman

I knew there was something more. It speaks to staying in the game. Sometimes that grit and perseverance you need to stay in the game is the best self-care. Sometimes you need to power down to feel empowered. Am I right?

1 Peter 4:8 says,

“Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.”

and Thich Nhat Hanh always had something to say about loving another:

“Understanding someone’s suffering is the best gift you can give another person. Understanding is love’s other name. If you don’t understand, you can’t love.” ― Thích Nhất Hạnh, How to Love
