Sometimes, certain situations appear to worsen before they improve. Note the word ‘appear’. We believe a particular development to be negative because such developments tend to appear out of the blue and throw carefully-laid plans into chaos. We overlook the fact that the seemingly negative development is actually a progression.

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.Posted in Affection, devotion, Love, tagged Commitment, love, Risk on January 10, 2013| Leave a Comment »
If we’re certain about something before we take a risk, then are we really taking a risk? Risks tend to get taken when an element of the unknown exists or when we believe we’ve ‘nothing to lose’. We appear willing to throw caution to the wind in some way because it’s an option that hasn’t been tried as yet.
To risk ourselves we must want something very much. We must also have the courage to commit ourselves to that which we want so that in the face of difficulty, in the face of possible disappointment, we will go forward anyhow.
Commitment of the heart is the basis for risk, a commitment to something we believe in – to an ideal, a way of life, a person whom we love. Even though there are other motives that propel people into taking risks, commitment of the heart is the one that partakes of the spiritual because it bases risk-taking on what we value and on what we love.
A life of indifference, cynicism, or withdrawal will not produce risk-taking. In order to risk something, we must believe in something. We must be committed to it, whether it is a person, an idea, or God himself. To risk something large, our level of commitment must be equally large so that what drives us forward is nothing other than love itself.

Remember, to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
And always remember, life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by those moments that take our breath away.
