Love is a risk.
To love is to risk rejection.
To be vulnerable is to risk pain.
To ask a lady out is to risk being snubbed.
To position yourself to be found by the man of your dreams is to risk being labelled cheap.
To love and chase your dreams is to risk failure.
To love and to celebrate your uniqueness is to risk criticism.
To forgive because you love is to risk the same hurt being repeated.
Love is a risk. It requires paying a price. This price is not Gold, Silver or Diamond. This price is COURAGE!
According to Anaïs Nin, “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage”.
It takes courage to share your feelings, fears and dreams.
It takes courage to reach out to someone you care about, without knowing for certain, if he/she would reciprocate.
It takes courage to pursue what you love, without any guarantees or financial safety nets.
It takes courage to follow God’s leading, when He tells you to go against the crowd.
Now, to those who gave up something important because of fear, know this for sure, every failure qualifies and prepares you for your ultimate success.
Pay because it pays.
To love is to risk. Jump off your cliff and build your wings while in the air, you have one chance. Please hit the ‘Golden Buzzer’ of your future.
To those who vowed never to love again for personal reasons, Maya Angelou says this to you, “have enough courage to trust, love one more time and always one more time”.
Finally, intimacy requires courage, so when someone loves you, please don’t hurt them or take them for GRANTED!
