Love Chooses You

Love Chooses You

There's no need to punish yourself if you fall for someone who doesn't fall for you. You are not flawed for them, love just doesn't reside there.

If you find yourself in a happening where a friend loves you but you don't love them back, accept the appreciation and graciously decline the gift you cannot reciprocate.

If you happen to fall in love with someone who's also equally into you, and then love decides to leave you, do not demand explanations or blame anyone. Let it happen as it was meant, there is a reason, a purpose, and you will find your answers, just not now.

Remember, you do not pick the love, the love picks you! Your job is to welcome it, even though you may feel shaky as it approaches. Feel how it fills you with wholeness and abundance, and find ways to extend that joy.

Give this love to those who come into your life and to those around you, whom is need it emotionally. Spread it far and wide, in every way you can.

Many people who are in love misunderstand the nature of love, believing that they have to get something or cling to it if they're feeling a deep attachment. They may think of love as a need, as empty spaces within them that must be filled. They can fall into the mistaken belief that love simply runs toward them, rather than from them.

To remember and hold in your heart is this truth, that love has its seasons, its timing, its reasons for coming and staying and going. You can't pay or pressure, or maneuver someone to stay. You can welcome love when it arrives and give it away.

But if love walks away from you or from the heart of someone you love, there is nothing you can do and nothing you should try to do.

There is mystery at love's heart. Enjoy the time it has given you. If you keep an open heart, it might come back around to you.
