As human beings we risk looking like a fool for love because we have dreams for the adventure of being alive.
But as so often happens we are opened by life's betrayals or we are closed from fear of further pain but still want that chance to dance in the rain.
How many of us never realize that our feelings toward others are determined by our feelings toward ourselves.
Be realistic and remember the limitations of being human and remember if you can't love yourself you can't love others.
Let go when you're hurting too much and give up when love isn't enough.
We must learn to move on when things are not like before and know that there is someone out there who will love you even more.
Be true to yourself even if you disappoint others and if we must bear the accusation of betrayal don't betray your own soul.
See life's beauty even when it is not pretty and be able to live with failure even if it isn't yours.
Don't cry because it is over but smile because it happened and realize you only live once but if done right once is all you need.
When life offers you a dream that is far beyond what you had ever hoped for don' t grieve when it comes to an end just go confidently in that direction.
Live the life that you have imagined and do more than just exist but live knowing that where there is love there is life.
For some reason we never see things as they are but we see them as we are because that is part of the limitations of being human and it is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.
Sometimes we are beautiful maybe not in looks but in what we say and just in what we are so know life is to be enjoyed and not just endured and know that to someone you are a star. Jon York 2012
