When a person rejects the love that is offered to them often it is because they are on guard and don't believe that they deserve that they are given. Many times the love we could receive is certainly more monumental than we love we allow to filter into our lives because we are attempting to protect ourselves from being hurt.

One thing that is imperative in living a good life is being able to trust and accept the love we get for what it really is, instead of giving way to negative thinking.

We must be willing to stop fearing more than we are living, and let the love flow that is attempting to flow in our lives. Just because you may have been hurt in the past doesn't mean that everyone in your life is out to hurt you. Give love and really living life a chance today by accepting someones attempts at showing you that they love you, and if you love them back be sure to reciprocate the love, life is much too short not to.
