Aspire To Love Better Than You Are Loved...



Greetings friends,

To everyone going through issues they are beginning to consider as unbearable, there is something very important that I believe everyone in a relationship must aver his or her mind to, irrespective of what they are going through at this material time:

Let's learn to pray (and not fight) about everything
Do not ever think that the fact, that because the one you are in a relationship with is not complaining about your excesses as much as you do about his (or hers), means you are any better or perfect. He (or she) may just have found a reason and way to love and still love you despite your flaws. 

You should be thankful, and you must find a reason and a way to love and still love inspite of the excesses of the one you love, just as you have been given the privilege through love, to enjoy being loved inspite of your excesses... This will make you more understanding and accommodating.

Blessings and more, to you and yours

The Audacity of Loving And Being Loved...

The audacity of loving and being loved,


 has nothing to do with how much you can absorb pain caused by loving and being loved, 



but has everything to do with your ability/resolve to agree to continue to love and be loved, in spite of the pain that love causes you to go through.


Blessings and more, to you and yours

Don't Be Afraid To Love Or Be Loved...

Warmest African greetings to all those who believe in love and being loved; those who trust that they shall find love; and those who trust that love shall find them.

Love is an awesome privilege. It is made beautiful in a relationship, and it finds expression when we connect by allowing ourselves to love and be loved. However this wonderful experience of loving and being loved makes people afraid.

Those who are afraid of being loved appreciate what they receive but will never understand how anyone can give another so much power to hurt them and hold on to only the hope that they don't.

Those who are afraid of loving cannot understand why anyone would risk committing to another who is equally as fallible or even more fallible than they are, all they have, are and hope to be, uncertain about altering their lives for someone who might ultimately not value them.

But this is the wisdom of loving and being loved: Faith is necessary for thriving in the now... It gives audacity to hope. It stops you from being preemptive and teaches you patience, 'cause nothing destroys a beautiful relationship faster than the torments which the fear of the unknown brings.

Besides, fear is not the only thing that the unknown is capable of bringing; the unknown can also bring the palpitations of joyful hope.
 
So I ask, why choose to fear when you can hope? 

Blessings and more, to you and yours.
