Love as if You Have Nothing to Lose
If you approach relationships in fear of getting hurt, you will soon find people who will hurt you. If you approach a relationship in anger, it is certain that you will find someone that will annoy and infuriate you.
And yet, so many people do this. Why? Because they have a split within themselves.
On the one hand, they want love and don’t want to miss out on the opportunity for love. On the other hand, they are cagey about giving love. They don’t want to give love to the wrong person. They don’t want someone to have anything over them. They are afraid to shack up with someone they will grow to hate.
This internal divide isn’t going to benefit you and it certainly won’t benefit the other person. Not only will you find someone who is as fearful as you, you will both be subconsciously sabotaging the relationship and the potential for love.
Then when the dust settles, fingers are pointed, another painful relationship is recorded in the books and that inner ache for love continues to go unfulfilled.
The opportunity to show love to someone you truly value is an awesome feeling! When you listen to your favorite song or you watch your favorite scene from a movie, it sparks something inside of you.
