in my life I became afraid to love. Because all those times I fell in love, I got hurt. I thought maybe that’s why it’s called “falling” in love.I would give my all, loving deeply and wholeheartedly. It would be a truly emotional, extremely euphoric experience. I would dream about the object of my affection all day and all night, imagining good times together, thinking of what I can do or give him to show how much I cared. I would feel light as a feather, energized and excited, literally blooming with the joy I felt inside. Then somehow something would go wrong and my whole world would crash. Disappointment. Resentment. Anger. Pain.Why? Can we not love without pain? Is disappointment really a price to pay for all the happiness we feel when we’re in love? Should we blindly accept that because we love we get hurt?It was only after many years of soul-searching and internalizing inspirational writings that I discovered that I can love without getting hurt. I finally understood that unconditional love was the answer.Love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. It is the fire that burns inside, the essence of being. Love is the source of all our comfort and contentment. It is a precious gift that defines our purpose in life. If we keep in mind that we can indeed preserve its true meaning, we can love to the fullest and be happy the rest of our lives.Accept that people express love in different ways.How do YOU express your love? You say “I love you” three times a day, you kiss and embrace him every chance you get, you never forget your anniversaries, and you always prepare his favorite dishes. How does HE express his love? He rarely says “I love you”, he seldom kisses you, he forgets your birthday, and he doesn’t even try to cook. But he works overtime, walks the dog, helps you with the laundry, takes you to the movies, and calls you “Honey”. He probably loves you as much as you love him, he just shows it differently. If you can accept that difference then you can have a healthier perspective of your relationship.Derive happiness from giving love.When you love, do it because you want to. There is indescribable joy in loving. Just give it. And cherish the satisfaction in having given someone something of yourself. It’s like giving a gift. Whether it is appreciated or not, find joy in simply giving.Love without expecting anything in return.Now this is where pain comes in: when you demand something in return for the love you give. You are actually setting yourself up for disappointment because love cannot always be reciprocal. Love between two people can never be of the same intensity at the same time and place. No matter how much your partner loves you, she will never be able to fill all your needs all the time. And you are worst off if you believe you should love only when you are sure to receive equal love in return. Sad to say, you will be waiting in misery forever.Love now!The past is gone and the future is just a dream. All of yesterday’s aches and pains, even the joys and laughter, are mere memories. Let them go. And your fantasies and worries? They may never come. So why dwell on them? Live now. Give love now. Do it now and enjoy the moment. That is the secret of inner contentment.Throw away those destructive habits.When you insist upon yourself that you always have to be in control, that you always have to be right, that others must always please you, you mold unreasonable expectations of yourself and the ones you love. Loving relationships are flexible, dynamic, and evolving. Give room for change and interaction. Allow for new behavior and learning experiences. When we welcome these into our lives, we open ourselves up to love and affection rather than anger and frustration.Yes, you will say that unconditional love is easier said than done. Especially when we have always believed that love is give and take. Try believing that love is simply giving. They say “Give until it hurts”. Let’s say “Love until it hurts no more

Wake up every morning with a smile. Let's see the beauty of the new day as it brings vision and hope to everybody. It's another day to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Every morning you wake up, you can live the life you want. Little by little whatever you put in today will bring you towards what you desire. Wake up every morning with the idea that something wonderful is possible today. If you're bored with life, if you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things - you don't have enough goals. When you do something noble and beautiful and nobody noticed, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps.Each morning you wake up be thankful, grateful and appreciate who you are, you have life, you're blessed and you're beautiful.No matter how good or bad your life is, wake up each morning and be thankful that you still have one.

There are those days that seem like a mountain ahead that has to be climbed and staying in bed seems like a better option. Let's contemplate what if the mountain was even bigger tomorrow because of the lack of progress today? What if there was a wonderful oasis on the other side? You will never know if you don't climb it. It is your choice. Make the decision to move forward in your life today, empower yourself knowing that with movement comes opportunity to change. Morning Mountain Climbers :):):)

You know there's something else out there for you and you excited to find it. There's something better out there for me..i know there is...its probably why nothing has come along lately..its waiting to make its move. The only thing that makes anything bearable is the fact that I know that there's something much better out there for me You Did not get the job. A little sad but totally ok because you know there's something out there for you that will be exactly what you need.

I am a 'Kept' Woman. You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind, but God kept me sane (Isa 26:3) There were times when I thought I could no longer go on but the Lord kept me moving (Gen 28:15). At times I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong, but the Lord kept my mouth shut, (Ps 13). Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough, but God has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, and the house paid,etc (Matt6:25-34). When I thought I would fall, he kept me up. When I thought I was weak, He kept me strong!(1Pet 5:7, Matt 11:28-30. I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me! I'm blessed to be 'kept'.

You won't ever achieve anything great if you don't believe in yourself and It's pointless trying to keep it real with someone who isn't real! Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be younger. But they will never be YOU. Be different and Being different is simply being you! To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are. As long as you stay true to yourself you'll always stand out. People's opinions don't mean anything. It's about whether or not you can look in the mirror & Love, Respect, BELIEVE in the person staring back at you. Don't be afraid telling fake people talking behind your back that, You are different, but you ain't perfect ...they must Understand that. Let me hear you say: "I may not be perfect, but at least I know who I am."

We are not given a good life or a bad life. We are given life. And it's up to you to make it good or bad. Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself. Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced. Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.. Live YOUR life the way YOU want to & make sure YOU'RE happy while doing it. Living a life taken over by fear isn't living at all. The less you care, the happier you will be. If you are having a bad day already, do me a favour, Breathe. It's just a bad day, not a bad life. The less people you chill with, the less problems you deal with. life doesn't get easier..you just get stronger. When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. When life is bitter, say thank you and grow. Don't just go through life, grow through life.
