Loving others is so important to fulfilling our potential as human beings.... But loving is hard and scary. It is risky, because our love can go unacknowledged, unrewarded and even rejected. But to become the fullest manifestations of ourselves, we must love others despite the risks.

When you find yourself in a position of need, choose to allow others to experience the blessing that comes from giving, and let yourself be the tool through which that blessing
comes.
