Taking the Risk to Love: The Power and Transformation of Barbara De Angelis' Words
Barbara De Angelis is an American relationship expert, speaker, and author. She has written numerous books on relationships and personal growth, and her work has helped millions of people around the world build deeper, more fulfilling connections with themselves and others. One of her most powerful quotes is, "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back."
This quote speaks to the idea that love is always worth the risk. When we love someone, we open ourselves up to the possibility of being hurt, rejected, or disappointed. But if we hold back, we deny ourselves the chance to experience the joy, connection, and growth that come from loving and being loved.
De Angelis also said, "Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible—it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could."
Love is not just an emotion, it's a force that has the power to transform us and the world around us. When we choose to love, we tap into a deeper part of ourselves and connect with something greater than ourselves. And while loving can be scary and uncertain, it's always worth it in the end.
We never lose by loving. We always lose by holding back. Love is a powerful force that can transform us and the world around us. So let us choose to love deeply, and take the risk to connect with ourselves and others in a way that brings more joy, meaning, and fulfillment to our lives.
As De Angelis said, "The journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life really takes place." Let us embrace that dance, and the risks and rewards of love that come with it.
Until next time, stay curious and keep questioning!
