A Lesson on Letting Go and Acceptance

Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the
person we love we fail to recognize and
appreciate the
people who love us. We miss out on so many
beautiful
things and simply because we allow ourselves to be
enslaved by our own selfish concerns. Go for the
man
of deeds and not for the man of words for you will
find rewarding happiness not with the man you
love but
the man who loves you more.

The best lovers are those who are capable of
loving
from a distance, far enough to allow the other
person
to grow, but never too far to feel the love deep
within your being. To let go of someone doesn't
mean
you have to stop loving, it only means that you
allow
that person to find his own HAPPINESS without
expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just
setting the other person free, but it is also
setting
yourself free from all fears, bitterness, hatred,
and
anger that you keep in your heart.

Do not let the bitterness rare away your strength
and
weaken your faith, and never allow pain to
dishearten
you, but rather let you grow with wisdom in
bearing
it. You may have found peace in just loving
someone
from a distance not expecting anything in return.
But
be careful, for this can sustain life but can
never
give enough room for us to grow. We can all
survive
with just beautiful memories of the past but real
peace and happiness come only with open
acceptance of
what reality is today.

There comes a time in our lives when we chance
upon
someone so nice and we just find ourselves
getting so
intensely attracted to that person. This feeling
soon
become a part of our everyday lives and eventually
consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part
of it
is when we begin to realize that this person feels
nothing more for us than just friendship, or the
feelings he might have for u is just too far from
how
you love him. We start our desperate attempt to
get
noticed and be closer but in the end our efforts
are
still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for
ourselves.

You don't have to be bitter on love. What you
need to
learn is how to accept the verdict of reality
without
being bitter or sorry for yourself Believe me, you
would be better off giving that dedication and
love to
someone more deserving. Don't let your heart run
your
life, be sensible and let your mind speak for
itself.
Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as
well.

Always remember that if you lose someone today, it
means that someone better is coming tomorrow: If
you
lose love that doesn't mean that you failed in
love.
Cry, if you have to, but make it sure that the
tears
wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the
past
has left with you. Let go of yesterday and love
will
find its way back to you. And when it does, pray
that it may be the love that will stay and last a
lifetime.

"When you lose someone... and you think you were
the
one who loved most, between the two of you... he
lost
more. For someday you can love someone the way
that
you loved him...But he will never be loved again
the
way that you did."
