One quote that stuck in my mind: Next time... we will laugh more, we'll love more; we just won't be so afraid.
I don't know why but for some reason it sorta hit home. I've always been a cautious person, not up for things that make me uncomfortable or slightly risky. I hate feeling out of control (eg. plummeting on a pair of skis down a hill, etc). I like the safety of my box. Altho at the same time, I should let go and just try things...live a little, let go of some of my insecurities. Not always being afraid of failing or the judgements of others.
Love is a whole other thing too. I love my family and friends dearly but what about love for those who have hurt us, or who we don't know or who we dispise?!? Love is a fundamental part of life....
"This world boils down to one fundamental - LOVE.
Today’s entire society is about looking good, making impressions, finding love,
building relationships, deepening friendships, etc. It just blows my mind how
something so simple is what makes this world go round. Musicians have love for
making music, artist have love for art, we all have a love of something or for
something. It’s always about what do you love? Who do you love? Who loves
you?
It’s amazing how much our hearts long for earthly love and not just from
out family. Even for Christians who love God with all their heart still have a
longing for more. Shouldn’t we be satisfied with Christ’s
love?"
“We are created by love, to live in love, for
the sake of love.” ~Gerald May

Strange how one simple (and not that profound) statement makes you reflect upon your own life. Gotta love it! :)
