“Fall in love, stay in love and it will decide everything”
– Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
As we start the heart month, let me share you part of this famous quotable quote:
What you are in love with,
What seizes your imagination,
Will affect everything.
It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning,
what you will do with your evenings, how you spend
your weekends, what you read,
who you know, what breaks your heart,
and what amazes you
with joy and gratitude.
Fall in love, stay in love
and it will decide everything
Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
I got to stumble this quote every now and then as I asked myself do you know where you are in love with?
Love is not something that magically happens. Love is a DECISION you make – simple principle like that. You could learn to love anyone in the world, as you chose to love him and he chose to love you.
You cannot “fall out of love” with anyone, simply because you cannot “fall in love” with anyone.
Suggestions?
- Sometimes the hardest part is to love someone despite their flaws. Simply love the person as what he/she is. Accept the person’s flaws as this part of the package deal. Do not try to change the person. Focus on something you adore as the way you fall in love – like at the beginning.
- Spend quality time to be with that person and always be in interest sharing your hope and aspirations.
- Remember special days like anniversaries, birthdays. The bottom line is if you love the person, there is no way he will forget a day which takes a special meaning for you. Simple call or sending a message will perk up the day that you remember that special day.
Lastly, you don’t have to leave love to fate or chance. If you are tired of waiting for him to fall hopelessly in love, there are things you can do to make it happen and you can do it now.
Like to end this post with this quote with Gandhi:
“Where there is love, there is life”
Happy Love Month!
