love or success

"Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content enough that it grew in yours."

Last May 2007 I and my ex GF Elaine broke up...It isn't because we didn't love each other anymore, but mainly because we have to prioritize one thing...the FUTURE... just like any other professionals, we are giving much importance on our career...and most of the time LOVE and CAREER clash...we cannot be a servant of two masters, we must give up one aspect of our life, so we can focus on the more important aspect...and while we are doing our best to be successfull in our lives...

This is what I learned from that break up...

Everyone wants success; yet, we often don't know when we have it. For most, success is the desire for a ''better life'', or more quantities or richness; however, success is not much on material wealth. It is not to be sought in the outside world, but discovered within. It is kindness shared, support given, and love sought. Success matters most when pain enters our lives. Pain hurts; yet, we must remember that when tears are on the outside, healing is on the inside. Success will take us where we want to go; however, the designated driver of success lies somewhere hidden deep in the mysteries of love...

We can hide the pain that you feel and make others believe that we can move on. But we can never deny the truth to ourselves that the person who has failed us and hurt us the most is still the person we’ll always choose to love...and sometimes the hardest thing we have to do is the best thing for us.

As my ex once said "Love is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it eludes you, but if you are calm and still it will land in you lap at a time you never expect it..."

Now, I have found a new love...I never expected she would come...I never ask for her to come, but she did....
