Guest guest Posted August 17, 1999 Report Share Posted August 17, 1999 Hope it won't go out of way. Some of the secrets r great which can be adopted for general life > TEN SECRETS OF LOVE ! > > > The first secret -- the power of thought. > > Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think. Loving thoughts > create loving experiences and loving relationships. Affirmations can > change our beliefs and thoughts about ourselves and others. If we want > to love someone, we need to consider their needs and desires. Thinking > about your ideal partner will help you recognize him or her when you > meet. > > The second secret -- the power of respect. > You cannot love anyone or anything unless you first respect them. The > first person you need to respect is yourself. To begin to gain > self-respect ask yourself, " What do I respect about myself? " To gain > respect for others, even those you may dislike, ask yourself " what do I > respect about them? " > > > The third secret -- 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. > Before committing to a relationship ask not what the other person will > be able to give to you, but rather what will you be able to give them. > The secret formula of a happy, lifelong relationship is to always focus > on what you can give instead of what you can take. > > > The fourth secret -- the power of friendship. > > To find 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 fifth secret -- the power of touch. > > Touch is one of the most powerful expressions of love, breaking down > barriers and bonding relationships. Touch changes our physical and > emotional states and makes us more receptive to love. > The sixth secret -- the power of letting go. > > If you love something, let it free. If is comes back to you it's yours, > if not it never was. Even in a loving relationship, people need their > space. 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. " Today I let go of all my fears, > the past has no power over me-today is the beginning of a new life. " > > > The seventh secret -- 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. If you were about to die but could make > telephone calls to people you loved, who would you call, what would you > say...and why are you waiting? > > > The eighth secret -- 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 ninth secret -- the power of passion. > > Passion ignites love and keeps it alive. Lasting passion does not come > through physical attraction alone, it comes from deep commitment, > enthusiasm, interest and excitement. Passion can be recreating past > experiences when you felt passion. Spontaneity and surprises produce > passion. The essence of love and happiness are the same, all we need to > do is to live each day with passion. > The tenth secret -- 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 > trapped 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 completely and > unreservedly? " If the answer is " no, " think carefully before making a > commitment. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
