Someday we will forget the hardship, and the pain its cause us, we will realize, hurt is not the end. lessons appear to teach us strength, we learn happiness is an inside job and to cure our insanity we must not fear what is to come, but believe in what we've been taught.

We tend to think of love as an uncontrollable feeling that comes over us. Although this overwhelming feeling does happen, real love and love that is sustained is always a choice. You choose to be open to someone, you choose to accept them, and that openness and acceptance allows love to flow. This process is often unconscious, so we often don’t realize we are choosing to accept someone when it’s happening. But that choice to accept someone is what precedes love. It happens unconsciously all the time, and it can happen more consciously too.

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.

When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

Sometimes you forget how much you love someone, until you realize their smile is like a spotlight shined on your heart.

What she had realized was that love was that moment when your heart was about to burst.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

Letting go doesn't mean that you don't care about someone anymore. It's just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.
