On Love
13-05-2005 16:17
There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable.
Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken.
If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart
to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round
with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements;
Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness.
But in that casket – safe, dark, motionless, airless – it will change.
It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
....by C.S. Lewis
The Four Loves, p. 169

Don't be afraid to admit when you know you are wrong.
It is not a sign of weakness, but shows character and responsibility. Others will respect you for that. Always try to do the right things inspite of normal human errors, even when everyone does as they please with no consideration for the feelings of others.
Never compromise your values and beliefs, even if it means risking ridicule and rejection.
Be true to yourself. Live your own life and don't allow others to decide what is best for you. If you do, you will be unhappy because you're untrue to yourself.
Refuse to run away from the things that scare you. Confront these situations and overcome your fears so that you may grow as a person.
Don't compare yourself to others. You are unique special being and therefore you should express your individuality.
Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrow keeps you Human , Failures keep you Humble, Success keeps you Glowing.........But only the supreme power called God Keeps u Going
