Unable to sleep at 2:30 this morning, these words from Paulo Coelho seemed to be relevant.
Life is too short to keep important words like love locked away in our hearts.
Today, I will look upon my family members with surprise and amazement, glad to discover that they are here by my side, silently sharing that much talked about but little understood thing called love.
Love is compassion…..love is faith…..it’s letting the silly side dominate the serious and laughing till it hurts.
Stay close to those who continually open that one important door……the door to your heart.
We love because LOVE sets us free and we say things we never had the courage to whisper to ourselves.
Stay close to those who sing, tell stories, and enjoy life…..those whose eyes sparkle with happiness.
Stay close to those who allow the light of LOVE to shine forth without restrictions or judgments.
No matter how you are feeling, get up every morning and prepare to let your light shine forth.
Those with eyes to see will see your light and be enchanted by it.
Speak words of wisdom to those who think “I am not beautiful. That’s why Love has not knocked on my door.”
In fact, Love did knock, but when they opened the door, they weren’t prepard to let Love come in.
They were too busy try to make themselves beautiful first……not knowing they were just fine as they were.
They were trying to imitate others when Love was looking for something original.
The were trying to reflect what is on the outside forgetting that the brightest light shines from within.
Love is only a word until we decide to let it possess us with all its force.
Love is only a word until someone arrives to give it meaning.
Our great goal in life is to love.
