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 with the man you love
but the man who loves you more.
The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance far
enough to allow the person to grow, but never too far to feel the love
deep within your being. TO LET GO OF SOMEONE DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO STOP LOVING, IT ONLY MEANS THAT YOU ALLOW THAT PERSON TO FIND HIS OWN HAPPINESS WITHOUT EXPECTING HIM TO COME BACK. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but it is also setting yourself free from all bitterness, hatred, and anger that keep in your heart. Do not let the
bitterness scare away your strength and weaken your faith, and never
allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let yourself grow with wisdom in
bearing it. You may find peace in just loving someone from a distance
not expecting anything in return.
But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give
enough room for us to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful memories
of the past but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance
of what reality is today. There comes a time in our lives when we chance
upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves getting so
intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon become a part of
our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The
sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing
more for us than just a friendship. We start our desperate attempt to get
noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded
and we end up being sorry for ourselves. You don't have to forget someone
you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality
without being bitter or sorry for yourself.
Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and
love to someone more deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be
sensible and let your mind speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings
but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it
means that someone better is coming tomorrow: If you lose love that doesn't
mean that you failed in love. Cry if you have to, but make it sure that the
tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with
you. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And
when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a
lifetime. |
