Daily Inspirational Message for February 21, 2014

Sorrow is how we learn to love. Your heart isn’t breaking. It hurts because it’s getting larger. The larger it gets, the more love it holds.
- Rita Mae Brown

What if you knew that every loss you experienced in life would eventually end up blessing you with bigger love and a deeper, richer happiness? Though it sounds frightfully Pollyanna, I believe it really is true, for it is through loss that we learn to treasure the love, joy and other blessings we have today. Every loss reminds us to remember what is really important, to hug those we love close while we can, and to treasure every moment. In this way, sorrow does indeed expand our capacity for love and happiness.
