“The Power of Friendship”
To find a true love, you must find a true friend first.
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 for 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 bring friendship first
“The Power of Thought”
Love begins with our own thoughts.
We become what we think about.
Loving thoughts create loving experiences
and loving relationships.
Affirmations can change our beliefs and thoughts
about ourselves and others.
If we really want to love someone,
we need to consider their needs and desires.
Thinking about your ideal partner
will help you recognize them
when you meet him or her.
“The Power of Respect”
You might not love anyone if you don’t respect them first.
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,
ask yourself:
What do I respect about them ?
“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 if a person is right for you
is to ask yourself:
Do I trust them completely and unreservedly?
If the answer is "no",
then you must think very carefully
before you make any type of a commitment.
“The Power of Letting Go”
"If you love something, set it free.
“If it comes back to you it's yours, if it doesn’t it ever was."
Even in a loving relationship, people need their own space.
If we want to learn to love, we must learn to forgive first
and let go off our past hurts, and grievances.
Love means letting go off our fears, prejudices, egos
and conditions.
Say everyday:
"Today I will let go of all my fears,
the past has no power over me,
today is the beginning of a new life."
“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 slip an opportunity 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 the people you loved,
Who would you call ?
What would you say?
So… why are you waiting ?
“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.
Try to practice random acts of kindness.
And before committing to a relationship ask
not what the other person will be able to give you,
but rather, what will you be able to give them.
Since, the secret formula of a happy lifelong, or
loving relationship
nearly always focus on what you can give
instead of what you can get.
“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,
quitting is never an option.
Commitment distinguishes a fragile relationship
from a strong one.
“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 Power of Passion”
Passion ignites love and keeps it alive.
Lasting passion does not come through physical attraction alone,
quite apart from a good chemistry ,
it comes from deep commitment, enthusiasm, interest
and excitement.
Passion can be recreated by recreating past experiences
when you felt passionate.
Spontaneity and surprises produce passion.
The essence of love and happiness are the same;
all we need to do is to live every day with passion.
