loving someone at the wrong time.

Authour: http://lovequotestime.blogspot.com

TIMING IS EVERYTHING. And that also speaks the truth when it comes to loving someone. It's not always the case that a love relationship will exist or can be worked out when love is real, time element must also be considered.

I guess I always knew inside, I wouldn't have you for a long time. While one can always love, hope, and
have faith, he must also count in a sacrifice and accept the outcome no matter what. Acceptance of a loss is
not merely a defeat itself; it is just a process of gaining wisdom in life. Those dreams of yours are shining on distant shores and if they are calling you away I don't have right to make you stay.

They say that if you love someone, you should learn to let him go. How ironic it can get to a certain point of view.How can you let go of someone you're still so much in love with? I guess great understanding and selflessness is the key to such love - an unconditional love. It's when you finally learn to say, "I want you to
be happy." without considering your own.


As what the song goes "But somewhere down the road our roads are gonna cross again it doesn't really matter when. Somewhere down the road I know that heart of yours will come to see that you belong with me." Sometimes in life, the decision of letting someone go actually doesn't end up right there. It turns out to be
just a test of time. Sooner or later, without further anticipation, your paths will cross again. But what if it
doesn't? Then again, one could only hope for it to happen or much better - just have faith!


So, what's the difference between hoping and having faith? When you are hoping, it doesn't always necessarily include faith. But when you are having faith, you are actually hoping at the same time. Faith is a strong belief of the existence of an unforeseen object or a person or the occurrence of an unforeseen event.
Sometimes goodbyes are not forever. It doesn't matter if you're gone. I'll still believe in us together.
Sometimes having faith is just as hard as letting go.


Often, we get down and lose hope. And instead of being positive, we put our focus on the pain. But if we could only realize and see that what we have done could have possibly planted a "seed of love" in the other person's heart, having faith wouldn't be too difficult. We can then believe that love never really fails after all.


I understand more then you think I can. You have to go out on your own so you can find your way back home.True, love conquers all. It conquers us. They say that if you were really meant for each other you will end up with each other. But little did we know that it actually lies in a mystery - we don't choose to love or
be loved, love chooses us. A little time is all we need. The "seed of love" that we have left wouldn't suddenly sprang-up into a tree. It's nurtured through time. And when the right time comes, it will return to
you in a manner you wouldn't have imagined.


Letting go is just another way to say I'll always love you so. We have the right love at the wrong time. Maybe
we've only just begun. Maybe the best is yet to come.There was a saying that goes, "The fastest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly. In addition to these, the best way to keep love is to give it wings."

Letting go is not always easy. In fact it can break you and cause you a lot of pain. But letting go is not really the end of love; it is only the beginning of a greater love. a love that time alone can understand. We cant beg someone to stay if they want to leave and be with someone else, we have to admit that love doesnt give us the license to own a person.

THIS WHAT LOVE MEANS SACRIFICE!!!

RISK: The means to a satisfying life


”  Leo Buscaglia once said, “ to laugh is to risk appearing the fool, to weep is to risk being called sentimental, to reach out to another is to risk involvement, to expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self, to place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naive, to love is to risk not being loved in return, to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk despair, and to try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave, he’s forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.”


Take a risk today and do that thingy you’ ve been wanting to do …, failing once does not mean you’re a failure..it just means you’ve learnt a way not to do it…start something new, rekindle that old passion, dare to be different, take a risk, stand for a course because through it all..you’ll learn to feel, change, grow, love and live and that’s what life is about. If you risk nothing and do nothing, you dull your spirit.

ITS MY BIRTHDAY AGAIN

It’s going to be my birthday a couple of days from now, another November 5, and that just got me thinking…Birthdays are supposed to be a celebration of one’s life, a time to take an inventory and look back at the events that happened in the past year and decide what you want the new year to look like.


I thank God for the out-going year; God Almighty has blessed me immensely with peace of mind, amazingly wonderful parents, fabulous siblings and lovely friends. This year has brought me good opportunities, a job (even though it’s not the best there is but I love my colleagues so much if  I have the opportunity to choose, I will choose them over and over again), I have met wonderful people who I wish we’ll be in touch forever( have lost touch with some of them though), I have eaten lovely meals, had good sleeps, been to places I will always remember, I have had my moments of laughter and tears, I have loved and hated, I have lied and have exhibited truck loads of honesty, I have won some battles and  I have lost a few(especially when I got angry),  I have trusted  and have  been let down…. I can go on and on…but most of all, I have learned!


A lot of events happened in my life this year, I can’t list them all but this events meant so much to me (not in any particular order), my big sister got married to a wonderful man, I finally hooked up with some of my high school friends ten years after school (moyo, kunle, sade, laide) you guys rock, my besty travelled without me, I miss her much, this year marked the end of a relationship and the beginning of better ones, gosh! I prayed so much this year than I ever did in my entire life (I think)…. And lots of other things


I accomplished loads of feats this year, and there are still left on my list goals I never accomplished, dreams that were not fulfilled, but through it all, God has been faithful to me, He has blessed me tremendously … the miracle of sleeping and waking up for 365 days (today is the 353rd day though), journey mercies to and fro, good health, sound mind, breakthroughs, liftings, I could go on and on….


I really don’t like getting older, because I still have places I want to visit (Morocco, Tanzania, Greece, Egypt), things I want to do, habits I hope to overcome, dreams I want fulfilled,…but unfortunately, every birthday is a reminder of how much time we have spent here on earth and it also reminds us of the “limitedness” of our time here. Somehow it’s so easy to take life for granted, and live each day as if it doesn’t count…but it occurred to me that if we lived each day as if it’s our last, if we celebrate our birthdays as if it’s the last, we will probably have a  better world, maybe we will start making the changes in our lives that we have always wanted to make, maybe we will get closer to God, maybe we will speak kinder words, hug and kiss our loved ones more, may be…just may be…we will eat healthier, exercise more, have moments with our family and friends, go to the cinemas more, visit the beaches more,  tell people how important they are, work  smarter, enjoy the scenery of life as we live everyday… pray more and just stop worrying about the potholes and stumbling blocks we encounter  in our lives and just live life the best way we can…


I have lived over two decades of my life, it’s been beautiful and tough, I have tried to live it God’s way and my way too, I have done some really naughty things, I have dusted and nursed my knee when I fell, I have climbed again and again when I stumbled, I have had dreams upon dreams, I have discovered and used the many potentials in me,…in short I have had a rich life.

I thank everyone that has made this year worth living, family, friends, colleagues, my FB friends (especially the “Shotty house occupants-you know yourselves”), my BBM friends. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY YEAR A MEMORABLE ONE…. Let’s do it again in the nu’ year…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEAH!
