Love and Life by Albert Einstein April 10, 2006

Sometimes in our relentless effort to find the person we love, we fail to recognize and appreciate he people who love us. We miss out on so many beautiful things simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns.
Go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words, for you will find rewarding happiness, not with the man you love but with the man who loves you more.
The best lovers are those capable of loving from a distance far enough to allow the person to grow but ever too far to feel the love within your being.
To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving, it only means that you allow that person to find his own happiness without expecting him to come back. Letting go is not just setting the other person free, but is also setting yourself free from all the bitterness, hatred, and anger that you keep in your heart.
Do not let the bitterness take away your strength and weaken your faith, and never allow pain to dishearten you; but rather let yourself grow with wisdom in bearing it.
You may find peace in loving someone from a distance not expecting something in return. But be careful, for this can sustain life but can never give enough room for us to grow. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past, but real peace and happiness come only with open acceptance of what reality is today.
There comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone so nice and beautiful and we just find ourselves so intensely attracted to that person. This feeling soon becomes a part of our everyday lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing more for us than just a friendship.
We start our desperate attempt to get noticed and be closer, but in the end our efforts are still unrewarded and we end up being sorry for ourselves.
You don't have to forget someone you love. What you need to learn is how to accept the verdict of reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself. Believe me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone more deserving.
Don't let your heart run your life, be sensible and let your mind speak for itself.
Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well. Always remember that if you lose someone today, it means that someone better is coming tomorrow. If you lose love that doesn't mean you failed in love.
Cry if you have to, but make sure that tears wash away the hurt and the bitterness that the past has left with you. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.
There are two ways to live your life:
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.
There is no mistake so painful that love cannot forgive. no past so bitter that love cannot accept.
And no love so little that we cannot start all over with.

The message didnt make sense at first to me, but the second time I read, somehow it clicked on me. Letting someone go is really hard, and especially if we love this person very much. I love someone who will never be able to love me back and I thing that the healthiest way for me to move on is by forgetting about him, becuase if I continue to hold on to the “what if”, “what could`ve been but wasn`t” it`s nice for the moment but it hurts me at the end.
Im going though a time in which i have to let someone go. Yet i love that person more then anyone i had in my life. I know it not good to hold on but it hurt to let go, knowing that once you do all you have is the moment of the past and not the hope of a future with that person. Im still in love and i never would stop to love this person but as time goes by you see that you let go an not even know but the love will burn in you for the rest of your life.
i liked it.. its great.. yeah the first time i read it, it didnt sink in.. but the second time, oh man! i struck me like nuts! its timing is perfect!! im in this letting go stage forcing or convincing myself that somebody out there can love me back..
thanks!!
this is the most beautiful thing i could have read.
i just let go of my girlfriend, she went to another city just for two weeks, and now she tells me that she is staying there, to study
