Lessons in Love

Sometimes in our relentless efforts to find the person we love, we fail to recognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things. And simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns. Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words. For you will find rewarding happiness not w/the man you love but w/the who loves you more. The best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance, far enough to allow the other person to grow but never too far to feel the love deep w/in your being

The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on. And holding on, when you need to let go. We lose someone we love, only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves

On falling out of love, take sometimes to heal and get back. But don’t ever make the same mistakes of riding the same one that threw you the first time. To love is risk rejection. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life risking nothing. To reach for another is to risk involvement. To expose your feelings is to expose true self. To love is to risk not to be loved in return.

Now to define love:

Fall but do not stumble. Be constant but not too persistent, share and never be unfair. Understand and try not to demand. Hurt never keep the pain.
