Like any other living, growing thing, love requires effort to keep it healthy.

One cannot give what he does not possess. To give love you must possess love. To love others you must love yourself.

Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love.

There is a good deal of excellent research on child's play. It has shown conclusively that through play, with the freedom of action it allows and the stressless environment in which it occurs, children discover, relate to and define themselves and their world. ...It is, therefore, paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play.

A wonderful realization will be the day you realize that you are unique in all the world. There is nothing that is an accident. You are a special combination for a purpose -- and don't let them tell you otherwise, even if they tell you that purpose is an illusion. (Live an illusion if you have to). You are that combination so that you can do what is essential for you to do. Don't ever believe that you have nothing to contribute. The world is an incredibly unfulfilled tapestry. And only you can fulfill that tiny space that is yours.

When it comes to giving love, the opportunities are unlimited, and we are all gifted.

Most of us remain strangers to ourselves, hiding who we are, and ask other strangers, hiding who they are, to love us.
