ALL ABOUT LOVE...

While I was walking, I stopped for a while and thought of things I don't have. Then I realize that the happiest moment of all people does not necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

In the gateway of my heart, I put a sign that says, "No Trespassing" but love came laughing and said, "I enter everywhere". Love knows no reasons, love no lies - love defies all reasons. Love has no eyes. But love is not blind - love sees, but it doesn't mind. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance, and you find that you still care for that person. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. It should inspire you and give you joy and strenght. But sometimes the things that give you joy and strenght can also hurt you in the end. It starts with a smile, develops with a kiss and ends with fear.

When you love, you must not expect something in return. If you do, you're not loving but investing. If you love, you must prepare to accept pain. For if you only accept happiness, you're not loving but using. Don't go for looks, it can deceive. Don't go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile 'cause only a smile makes a day seem bright.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly on them and not only to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. Never try to impress someone to make him fall in love with you, 'cause when you do, you'll have to keep that standard for the rest of your life.

A sad thing about life is that when you meet someone who means a lot to you and you'll find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let him go. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one sothat when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for the gift. We often times don't see reason why we don't always get what we want, but in the end of it all,we realize that what we wanted wasn't meant for us after all - everything happens for a reason. When you feel down because you didn't get what you wanted, just sit tight and be happy because God's thinking of something better for you.

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. It's always better to have found the courage to love even if you lose it in the end rather than never finding love because you were too afraid to face its challenge. The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we did not take. If you think something will make you happy , go for it. Remember, that you pass this way only once.

Love, no matter how hard you find it, you won't see it. No matter hard you try, you won't get it. But when you're about to give up, it comes. Sometimes, the love we are looking for is right in front of us, too close for the eyes to see. So close your eyes and let you're heart see itself. There are thing you love to hear but you can never hear it from the person who says it with his heart. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want, it doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. There are so many stars in the sky, only some radiant enough to be noticed. Among those you choose to ignore is the one who is willing to shine for you forever even if glance remains elsewhere.

God never closes the door without a window. He always gives something better when he takes something away. Heartbreaks will last as long as you want and out deep as you allow them to go. Challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but learn from them. In relationships, thank God when you're hurting or crying. There, you are given the chance to measure the importance of the relationship of the person and of yourself...when you grow...you don't become a better person because you experience suffering. We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. When God puts tear in your eyes, it's because He wants to put a rainbow in your heart.

There are things that we never want to let go of...people we never want to leave behind, but keep in mind that letting go is not the end of the world. It's the beginning of the new life. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can't go on well in life when you can't let go of your past failures and heartaches. To let go is not to deny, but to accept. To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future. To let go is fear less and love more.

Don't be afraid to break someone's heart or leave your heart broken because that's how relationship are when you are young- they are stepping stones for the main one. Follow your heart. It might not always be right but despite the pain, you'll have memories that will make you smile even once and every rare while. It is better to have the person you love right now, than have them later and lose them forever. Love has its time., season and own reasons. You can't ask it to say for you can only embrace it as it comes and be glad that for a moment ihn your life, it was yuors. Each of us is given a pocketful of time to spend however we may. We use what we will. We waste what we will. But we can never get back a day. Don't let each moment pass you by.' for within the twinkling of an eye, that moment shall go and the feeling shall die. It might be too late when you open your eyes. Don't be so busy planning the life you're going to have that you fail to appreciate the one that you've already been given. Dream what you want to dream; go where you wantgo; be what you want to be, 'cause you only have one life and one chance to do all things you want in life. We are never given dreams without the power to make it come true.

A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believe in the promise of love no matter how long the time and how far the distance is. Never say goodye when you still want to try. Never give up when you still want to take and never say you don't love the person anymore when you can't let go. True love doesn't have ending, that's because true love doesn't have an ending...

Hospital Window

A great note for all to read it will take just 37seconds to read this and possibly change your thinking....

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eyes as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed...

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you"...

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy..

"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present".

The Interview with GOD

Inspirational Videos

If you like to begin a relationsnip with God, it's easy because He already wants to know you, just the way you are right now. The're are no preconditions to knowing Him. You don't have to be a good person first, because by knowing Him, He helps us become better. You don't have to be an expert about Him either, because the best way to learn about someone is to meet them. All we need to do to know God is to say "yes" I want to Him.

The Dance of Life

There were two hearts met in a dance. That moment was magical. There was a sweet song playing, there was harmony and soon, love in the air. They feel in love and they started building castles in their dreams and promised forever with all certainty. But, somewhere in the midst of the fun, they got lost in the dance, something went wrong but they can never do anything. They were just drifting away, their fortress falling apart. There were so many questions, but no one had an answer.

The music stopped and then was a silence...

When we truly love someone, we give our best and let that person see the pureness of our intention. But sometimes that person makes us cry and hurts us for the wrong reason. That someone must have loved us but he has not loved us enough to make him stand for what he truly felt.

Now we are faced with the seemingly impossible task of forgetting. We have burdened ourselves long enough but we still can't get out of this emotional trap. Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love, the more painful letting go will become.

Sometimes we never had to take that person out of our hearts at all, for he will always be there no matter how hard we try to drive him away. It isn't his presence that makes this difficult. It is our stubbornness to accept our destiny that aligns forgetting next to impossible. We keep a cold face but deep in our hearts, there is still that lingering hope for reconciliation. Somehow, we still believe that we can rekindle small embers and relight the fire that once burned in our hearts. These thoughts give us hope but it also breeds the seeds of loneliness and despair.

The only way to forget is to accept and the only way to move on is to look ahead and let the footprints of the past be blown by the wind of time. Only then can our hearts find a partner in the dance of life and hopefully never get lost again.

Faces of Depression

Down on life?
It might not be just a case of the blues.
Could be your battling depression.

We all feel depressed sometimes, and its totally normal. But when you're feeling completely out of whack for a couple of weeks, and life's become a real drag, things are serious. So how can you tell the difference between being depressed or just being in a down mood? The first step is to understand depression. It's like an ongoing state of being totally bummed out. Many things can trigger it, like the death of someone close, unhealthy relationships, financial difficulties, or being the victim of any kind of abuse. The next step is to pay attention to your moods over a set period of time (like a week) and rate your feelings on a scale from 1 to 10. Maybe you're just a tad moody - maybe it's more. Could be a lame weather. On this type of day you're probably a 1 or a 2 in terms of feeling sad. When you have bad pre-menstrual syndrome, you maybe a 3, tops. When you get around 6 or 7, depression is real. You may have trouble getting out of bed. When your depression lasts more than two weeks, and you have four or five of the symptoms listed below, your depression's serious and you should talk to someone, like a family doctor. Whenever you have depression of 9 or 10, which is when you just don't feel like living anymore, you must get help immediately. Fortunately, depression is treatable. In most cases, you can get rid of it with medicine or possibly going to talk-therapy with a professional therapist.

Faces of Depression
> You feel sad, anxious, or guilty.
> You're not interested in doing your favorite things.
> You sleep a lot more or a lot less than usual.
> You lose your appetite or constantly eat, and gain or lose weight.
> You feel everything around you is hopeless, you view everything in a negative way.
> You cry all the time, or you're cranky.
> You have difficulty making decisions, concentrating, and remembering.
> You have headaches or stomach pains that won't go away.
> Most seriously, you have thoughts of death or suicide.

When you or someone you know talks about suicides, things are way serious. Never underestimate people who talk about ending their lives. It's not a bid to get attention; it's cry for help. Gently encouraging them to seek help is a must. If they don't, you might have to seek help for them, even if it's against their wishes, in order to save their lives.

Echoes of Our Hearts...

Sometimes we close our eyes and just listen to the echoes of our hearts. We all fall in love and there are times when we love so much that we lose ourselves in our own emotions. More often than not, we wonder why there are love that grows, and that love grows cold. We would start to search for answers and try to find where love has gone wrong. But in the end, we find ourselves where we started for we cannot question love when it has its own reasons. Love will always be as it. always has been...silent, mysterious and deeply profound.

Many of us believe that love is forever, that love never dies, only to be disillusioned in the end when we find our hands empty and our hearts longing. We mistakenly have looked at love as a need to be fulfilled. But love is only a gift given to us. We should not hold it in our hands for we may never find the strength to let it go when it decides to leave. We should only embrace its warmth and glow while it last and then freely open our arms when its time to say goodbye.

When we fall in love with someone, we don't want that feeling to end for it is everything we are, everything we wanted to be. We pray that love will stay and grow in our hearts. But, if it doesn't then we should never let our lives be taken by it, for life should not end where heartaches begin.

There is always a reason why we have to move on. When we have to say goodbye to the feelings we wanted to stay forever, let us not wave our hands with a heavy heart. For love will have to set its wings free and find the place where it belongs. We may have lost it but then again, when we close our eyes and listen to the echoes of our hearts, we will hear that feeling resounding silently forever.

Then we'll know that it has never left us, for the good that we have become because of love will always stay. It will always be there reminding us that we should be thankful and happy, not because we have lost love, but because, for once in our lives, that feeling lived in our hearts and made us happy...
