Article!!
I read an article about relationships n stuff. Here are a couple of secrets, or rather guidelines that i got from the article: -
The Power Of Respect
You cannot love anyone or anything unless you first respect them.
The Power Of Giving
If you want to receive love, all you have to do is give it! The more love you give, the more you will receive. To love is to give of yourself freely and unconditionally. Practice random acts of kindness.
The Power Of Friendship
To find a true love, you must first find a true friend. Love does not consist of gazing into each other's eyes, but rather looking outward together in the same direction. To love someone completely you must love them for who they are, not what they look like. Friendship is the soil through which love's seeds grow. If you want to bring love into a relationship, you must first bring friendship.
The Power Of Letting Go
If we want to learn to love, we must first learn to forgive and let go of past hurts and grievances. Love means letting go of our fears, prejudices, egos and conditions.
The Power Of Communication
When we learn to communicate openly and honestly, life changes. To love someone is to communicate with them. Let the people you love know that you love them and appreciate them. Never be afraid to say those three magic words: "I Love you." Never let an opportunity pass to praise someone. Always leave someone you love with a loving word - it could be the last time you see them.
The Power Of Commitment
If you want to have love in abundance, you must be committed to it, and that commitment will be reflected in your thoughts and actions. Commitment is the true test of love. If you want to have loving relationships, you must be committed to loving relationships. When you are committed to someone or something, quitting is never an option. Commitment distinguishes a fragile relationship from a strong one.
The Power Of Trust
Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Without it one person becomes suspicious, anxious and fearful and the other person feels wrapped and emotionally suffocated. You cannot love someone completely unless you trust them completely. Act as if your relationship with the person you love will never end. One of the ways you can tell whether a person is right for you is to ask yourself, "Do I trust them completely and unreservedly?" If the answer is "no", think carefully before making a commitment.
My Feedback
I agree with the guidelines. All of 'em. But there are certain concerns i wish to share. With regards to the "power of respect", i personally think that it is essential that we respect the ppl we love; physically, emotionally, spiritually; If we cant respect them in these areas, its impossible that we love them.
With regards to the second guideline which is, the "power of giving", its very true that we need to first learn to give, before we recieve. "To love is to give of yourself freely and unconditionally", is a great statement however, its not necessary that even after we've given freely & unconditionally, that we may recieve anything. Its a risk to take. We could end up recieving a hundredfold, or juz end up with nothing, but no matter wat the results maybe, the focus is always on GIVING not recieving. To me personally, though i didnt recieve anything regardless of how much i gave, i never stopped giving, coz that's all that matters.
The "power of friendship". This is something that i've always lived by. I dun believe in love at first site. All relationships should begin with friendships. But then again, not every friendship, no matter how close you've become, may move to a higher level. Sadly, a small number of them, the unfortunate ones, reaches a level where "friends are all we will ever be".
To summarize my thoughts on the remaining guidelines; Its true that we need to let go of one's 'accidental' or 'purposeful' sins againts us, coz we've equally sinned againts others as well. Commitment & Trust is essential too. We have to be committed to each other's life, as well as commited to trusting each other. I guess the bottom line is, you outta be 'selfless' towards the other person, if you say you love them. As mentioned above, sadly, even after fulfilling or rather faithfully following these guidelines n more, there are a small number of unfortunate ones that end up with nothing, allowing others to walk in simply and take away years of dedication and devotion, probably juz coz they have the xtra element that you couldnt provide, which could be financial security & property ownership n such.
