This is one of the best quotes I have come across regarding love because it speaks from a solid foundation and lacks whimsicality!
True love has to possess qualities that serve us from a place of sincerity and the union of strength with courage is an ideal pairing; they definitely go together hand in hand. There are times when we may feel below par, afraid of something and need both strength and courage to see us through. You definitely need to possess both of these if you wish to advance in life and when they are generated within a partnership of any kind you instantly have another person covering your back. It can be so hard trying to will yourself on, but when you know loved ones are in your corner this creates a little momentum to start with. Going it alone is hard, but with support everything seems a little more attainable.
Strength is an attribute that helps us to keep on going whereas courage is the quality that actually gets us started and may propel us to the next level. You could be very strong yet afraid and fear is what prevents us from trying to elevate. If you have courage but lack strength, you could start and quickly fade out! To be strong is referring to emotional strength, digging deep when you feel depleted, facing each day anew during a difficult period where you mind is constantly nagging at you to give in. Courage is the quality that keeps you pushing forwards and helps you to draw on your inner strength.
You do gain strength when you are loved and it definitely takes courage to love someone if you have been hurt in the past. This is because you need to leave previous experiences behind in order to risk love again. When you relax enough to love someone you open your heart at the risk of having it hurt all over again, or even for the first time if you had an emotionally distressing childhood and are afraid to trust others. This is why it can be easier to have shallow relationships in which you protect your heart instead of committing, and this is understandable. When the person concerned actually loves you this can release your fear and ignite your courage. It can be a very big step to take as there are no guarantees that a relationship will work out.
These days we hear a great deal about self-love, which produces both strength and courage as everything starts from within. We hear about attraction and magnetism, but even if you know nothing about this side of things it is worth investing in yourself first and there are umpteen books and videos about self-love to get you started.
Ultimately, you need to discover what you want from a relationship, what you expect and where your boundaries lie. Getting these things into place and upholding them will significantly increase your chances of finding the ideal partner.
