How to Win at Life … (05/03/12)
There is the “love” of “healthy boundaries” that strives to gets its “fair share” of intimacy. Funny thing is, even when you “win” this game — while you are indeed safe from harm, you remain separated from everyone & everything around you.
By “winning” this game, you actually lose …
And then there real LOVE, that knows only giving; that strives only to open up to those in need; that doesn’t care what happens as a consequence. And the funny thing is, even when you “lose” this way — even if you are hurt or “used” or persecuted in the process, you immerse yourself in your world.
By “losing” this game, you actually WIN …
LOVE remembers that we are all in this together.
LOVE remembers that the only way to truly WIN in life …
… is to CHOOSE TO “LOSE”!
