Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.

If you want to learn to love, then you must start the process of finding out what it is, what qualities make up a loving person and how these are developed. Each person has the potential for love. But potential is never realized without work.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch.

Image
A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself -- to laugh with me, but never at me to cry with me, but never because of me to love life, to love himself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart

This loving person is a person who abhors waste - waste of time, waste of human potential. How much time we waste. As if we were going to live forever.
Leo Buscaglia

Everybody is teaching Everybody to Love at every moment.
Leo Buscaglia
Image
Strong emotions are present in all people. Without feeling, we would not be human. It's unnatural for man to hide what he's feeling, though if taught to do so, he can learn. Love teaches a man to show what he is feeling. Love never presupposes that it can be discerned or felt without expression.

Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time... It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.

Learn to bend. It's better than breaking.

You have choice. You can select joy over despair. You can select happiness over tears. You can select action over apathy. You can select growth over stagnation. You can select you. And you can select life. And it's time that people tell you you're not at the mercy of forces greater than yourself. You are, indeed, the greatest force for you.
