Getting to know the feel of both emotional energies, fear and courage, will enable you to choose courage more consciously.

Image
Surrender is a positive, healthy state. Being a surrendered person does not mean one is beaten down and so hopeless he or she has given up. It's quite the contrary.

Relationships carry the whole universe within them. They can be everything, nothing, here, then gone. One moment, loving someone makes you shine the next, it feels like matter and antimatter colliding.
