Get this right.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings
Your brother

My list is a bit like yours:
-Become happily married
-Find a fun career that I can stick with
-Learn to cook
-Travel the world
-Become a well known, respected, and kind individual
Yay me! Unlikely that I will complete half of it, but it's completely what i want to do!

i want to take out a couple of bad guys and i don't mean out to dinner;the problem is identifying someone who is truely unrelentingly bad and has no intention of mending his ways
i also want to correct a few things as my father instilled me the need to leave things a little better than when you found them;again this is a difficult problem as how to know if you are changing things for the better or worse
apart from that i want to learn about ten languages and beef up my science and get control of my mind
but really i am a miserable git who sees no point in life and yearns for the tomb

I've always had a slight problem setting goals : I'm happy with what life has brought me and I really didn't plan any of it.
I've been blessed abundantly :
I know and love God and He loves me
I have a great husband and beautiful, beautiful kids
I've traveled enough to satisfy me
I keep educating myself everyday
