Love, A Good Reflection

"Love, A Good Reflection"

When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you
find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love, it
doesn't really matter who won or who lost. What is important is you know
when to hold on and when to let go! You know you really love someone when
you want him or her to be happy, even if their happiness means that you're
not part of it.

Everything happens for the best. If the person you love doesn't love you
back, don't be afraid to love someone else again, for you'll never know
unless you give it a try. You'll never love a person you love unless you
risk for love.

Love strives in hurting. If you don't get hurt, you don't learn how to love.
Love doesn't hurt all the time. Though the hurting is still there to test
you, to help you grow. Don't find love, let love find you. That's why it's
called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall. You just
fall. You cannot finish a book without closing it's chapters. If you want to
go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages.

Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress. It is a
lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering and growing.
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 some time to heal and then get back
on the horse. But don't ever make the same mistake of riding the same one
that threw you the first time.

To love is to 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 is risk
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. How 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 but never
keep the pain.

Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images
into the soul that always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed to be the
most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you and give you joy and strength.

But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end.
Loving people means giving them the freedom who they choose to be and where
they choose to be. For all the heartaches and the tears, for gloomy days and
fruitless years, you should give thanks, for you know, that there were the
things that helped you grow.

Loving someone means giving him the freedom to find his way, whether it
leads towards you or away from you. Love is a painful risk to take but the
risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then you'll
experience the fullness of humanity and that is love. Only love can hurt
your heart, fill you with desire and tear you apart.

Only love can make you cry and only love knows why. If you're not ready to
cry, if you're not ready to take the risk, if you're not ready to feel the
pain, then you're not ready to fall in love.

There was a time in our lives when we became afraid to fall in love because
every time we do, we get hurt, then I figured that's why it's called falling
in love.

Whatever happened, don't give up! It is just a trial.

After all, G~d will not give you trial that you can't tackle. Have faith in
yourself and cheer up.
