Love

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." -Lao Tzu

I find these words to ring true.  I find that with love in my life I am both stronger and more courageous. Not just in the sense of "relationship" love.  But, all kinds of love.  Love between your family.  Love between your friends.  With out this love I would never have had the strength and courage to go through all that I've been through in the past 4 years.  Those people in my life gave me stability and encouraged me to hold on when I felt no hope at all.  They helped me to see that I was stronger than I ever thought I could be.  

I guess love really is one of the most powerful things you can experience in life.
