I would like to share something on the 'nature of love'

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.

Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool,she filled the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before me,
and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." As long as you keep your hand caringly open
and allow it to remain there, it will always be there.

However, if you attempt to close your fingers around it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect...and just like the water spilling out of your hand,Love will retreat from you.

For love is meant to be free, you can not change it's nature.
If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, But don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it,you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring.

May be this is applicable for all of us.......

Move Your Mind Forward
Whatever you dwell upon in your mind, you give power to. So of course it makes sense to focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. Yet there are many ways in which the things you don't want can sneak into your thinking.
Worry and doubt focus your thinking on what you don't want. Rather than worrying about the bad things that might happen, direct your actions toward making positive things happen.
Complaining can also get your mind sidetracked into thinking about what you don't want. What do you complain about? The things you don't like. Rather than complaining, take action. Action moves you toward what you do want.
Anger is one more way to get your thinking negatively directed. Rather than getting angry about what you don't like, use that energy to give you determination for what you want to achieve.
Keep your mind positively focused on the good things that life can offer. Those things will grow stronger and more abundant in your world.

Even anyone foolish, when keeping silent, will be regarded as wise; anyone closing his own lips, as having understanding.--Proverbs 17:28

Sail, Don't Drift

I find the greatest thing in this world not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. To reach the port ... we must sail sometimes with the wind, and sometimes against it, but we sail, and not drift, nor live at anchor.
