The measure of love

God didn't promise days without pain,

No one can go back and make a brand new start. But anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain. But He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way. Disappointments are like road humps. They slow you down a bit but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the humps for too long. "You are abstracting Others". Move! When you feel down, because you didn't get what you want, just sit tight and be happy, because God is thinking of something much better for you. When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it means. There is a purpose to life's events, to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard. You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved, and the rest is up to the other person to realize your worth. The measure of love is when you love without measure. In life there are very rare chances that you will meet the person you love and who loves you in return. So once you have it, don't ever let go. The chance might never come your way again. It is better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you love because of pride. We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give. When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults, you don't look for answers, and you don't look for excuses. Instead, you fight the faults, you accept the answers and you overlook the excuses. Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take his place. Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older.
