"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 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/her own
happiness without expecting him/her 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 you keep in your heart. Do not let the
bitterness rare 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
something 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 becomes 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 feeling
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 lost
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 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. There are two ways to live your life. One is as
though nothing is a miracle. The other is though everything is a miracle."
- Albert Einstein
