mushy yet so true...

This is written by Albert Einstein. Read it carefully and try to reflect.

Sometimes in our relentless effort to find the person we love, we fail torecognize and appreciate the people who love us. We miss out on so manybeautiful things and simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved byour own selfish concerns.

Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words, for you will findrewarding happinesss not with man you love but the man who loves you more.The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance far enough toallow the person to grow but never too far to feel the love within yourbeing.

To let go of someone ! doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only meansthat you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting himto come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but isalso setting yourself free from all the bitterness, hatred, and anger thatkeep in your heart.

Do not let the bitterness rare you away your strength and weaken yourfaith, and never allow pain to dishearten you, but rather let yourselfgrow with wisdom in bearing it. You may find peace in loving someone from adistance not expecting something in return. But be careful, for this cansustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can allsurvive with just beautiful memories of the past, but real peace andhappiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today.

There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice andbeautiful and we just find ourselves so intensely attracted to thatperson. This feeling soon become a part of our everyday lives and eventuallyconsumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin torealize 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 theendour efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry forourselves.

You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is howto accept the evrdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself.Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love tosomeone more deserving. Don't let your heart run your life, be sensibleand let your mind speak for itself.

Listen not only to your ! feelings but to reason as well. Always rememberthat if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is comingtomorrow. If you lose love that doesn't mean you failed in love. Cry if you have to,but make it sure that tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that thepast has left with you. Let go of yesterday and love will find its wayback to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay andlast a lifetime.

There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is amiracle. The other is though everything is a miracle.

"Make your own destiny. Don't wait for it to come to you. Life is not a rehearsal!"
