“‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” –Alfred Lord Tennyson

Why are we so afraid to love? Are we afraid of losing? Are we afraid of being let down? Are we afraid of falling “head over heels”?

When we weigh these questions on our minds, we actually weigh these questions in our hearts. When we choose not to love, we are straining our hearts. Why? Because it is unnatural not to love. Why do you think we have hearts?! It’s not just an organ to pump blood through the body; it is an actual living spiritual feeling in the heart center.

Most of us are afraid to love because we are afraid of eventually losing that person. But, when you live in fear, you actually invite opportunities of loss into your life. Try loving; because if you do lose, it’s always better than to never have loved at all.

Give your heart a break today. The magical feeling of being in love, alone is worth the price of admission!
