I surrender..

I strongly believe that it's better to lose your pride to the one you love than to lose the one you love because of pride.We spend too much time looking for the right person to love & finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.When you truly care for someone,you don't look for faults,you don't look for answers,& you don't look for mistakes.Instead, you fight the mistakes,you accept the faults,& you overlook the excuses.To me loving someone is putting everything else in the world that makes them happy before you & giving yourself completely in the process.Life is full of risks why not take them allowing yourself to love someone unconditionally.To give love unconditionally requires that you close your eyes,see with your heart,touch with your soul & trust with your life." You can't fail if you don't give up. Another important point to remember is that the root of selfishness is fear. Fear is what motivates you to protect yourself. That is why a selfish person is constantly in self–preservation mode. The way to get rid of selfishness is to get rid of fear. Perfected love casts out fear. Fear is dangerous. It opens the door for the Enemy to come in and wreck havoc in your life. It also produces negative forces like offense, strife and unforgiveness. However, love empowers you to the point that you will be slow to take offense and quick to forgive. Keep in mind that when you fail to develop in love, you fail to develop in character, which means you perpetuate a lifestyle of selfishness. The Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, & Wisdom to know the difference." This is a bleeding heart & an exhausted tongue laying it out there..dripping with brutal truth & honesty: Sometimes the people you hold so dearly in this life are the ones that you hurt the most..life is too short to keep loved ones away..(love will tear us apart) to hold grudges, to judge someone by their looks, or age..as humans we are interesting creatures, we are the only ones with the capacity to love someone genuinely, the willingness to put someone else before ourselves, & the commitment it takes to truly be with someone, but sadly we also possess an innate propensity to betray & hurt the people most important to us..we turn our backs on our friends..sometimes our own family..even our lovers..we say things we don't mean, & we do things we don't mean to do..with so much going on at times..it's often hard to find the right way, the right things to say, the right way of doing things, but the only thing we can do to get by is seize each & every day. We can't keep turning our backs on what we should truly cherish in this life, because there truly is absolutely nothing worth regretting...& certainly nothing worth going over the deep end for. Even when we find ourselves in hell..we must breathe, we must take the time to let the dust settle, & we must accept the events that transpire..(hold still) no matter how bad the sting, how hard the fall, or how severe the pain..there's always a way & a reason to carry on in a harsh world like today..friends & family are all you have. They are all you can count on. Cherish them. There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and nobody knows; and we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it." In this big game that we play, life, it's not what you hope for, it's not what you deserve, it's what you take.  Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
