I used to love people for what they could be. I thought love was how hard you tried and how much you sacrificed and suffered. That is not love. Acceptance is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have to give others the opportunity to love who you love. If they don't accept it, it's their loss.
There are different definitions of love, and one of the most wonderful definitions of love is to allow somebody to be.
In my life I've learned that true happiness comes from giving. Helping others along the way makes you evaluate who you are. I think that love is what we're all searching for. I haven't come across anyone who didn't become a better person through love.
I believe that love between people is the greatest life-giving force in the world. It's intensely frustrating and inevitably makes a fool of you, but you can't stop going back to it, and it's pretty much the defining experience of a human being.
Only choices made in love are compassionate. There are no exceptions. Do you have the courage to act with an empowered heart without attachment to the outcome? If not, you have no ability to give or experience compassion. That is the shocking truth.
Love is really my nemesis. I never really allowed myself to indulge in such basic things because I was so motivated and thought that if I did I wouldn't succeed.
Love wasn't put in your heart to stay. Love isn't love until you give it away.
I imagine there are a lot of people who will never be able to accept me because they feel I've let them down, but I am a different person, and most people have welcomed me back in that spirit.
Love is not a feeling of happiness. Love is a willingness to sacrifice.
Acceptance is not love. You love a person because he or she has lovable traits, but you accept everybody just because they're alive and human.
