It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.

The choice that frees or imprisons us is the choice of love or fear. Love liberates. Fear imprisons.

The characteristics of an authentically empowered personality are humbleness, clarity, forgiveness and love.

The hardest times to choose love are the very times when you can most grow spiritually. In fact, they are the only times you can grow spiritually!

Caregivers attract caregivers and live in a community of love. They are energized by their caring, fulfilled, and they love life. Caretakers attract caretakers and live in the company of resentful victims who see themselves as misused and are fatigued from constant giving with no return.

Unworthiness is the inmost frightening thought that you do not belong, no matter how much you want to belong, that you are an outsider and will always be an outsider. It is the idea that you are flawed and cannot be fixed. It is wanting to be loved and feeling unlovable, or wanting to love and feeling that you are not capable of loving.
