There is no failure where love is concerned. To be unsuccessful is not the same as failure. Our disappointment is more likely to provide an opportunity to learn and to grow.If we don’t risk loving, we will never fail in love. But much worse, we will also never experience its wonder.As long as we continue to seek love, some failure is bound to occur. But hurt is a strong  incentive  for action. When we seek to find the causes of our failures, we always emerge wiser. We gain new alternatives for our old behaviors and acquire new resources for future encounters. This is certainly not failure. Rather, it is the way that produces lasting change. It is the way of insight and growth. It is the way of love.
