Next time, I’ll be brave
And openhearted.
I’ll risk rejection, dejection,
The potential pain of loss.
I will embrace possibilities,
And enjoy what is.
I will not protect my fearful heart.
I will flex my courage muscles
And crack it open.
I will reach out,
Give without reservation,
Receive without hesitation.
The time has come,
I have decided:
To love easily and openly,
Fiercely,
Gently,
Passionately,
Compassionately,
Intentionally,
Doggedly.
I will trust love
And I will love with all my being.
Relephant:
The Courage to Love.
Do You Have the Courage to Really Love?
