:: Secret of Love...::

You can't force someone to love you, all you can do is become someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them!

True love is spelled G-I-V-E.
It is not based on what you can get,
But rooted in what you can give to the other
person...*Josh McDowell*


Love is a gift.
You can't buy it,
You can't find it,
Someone has to give it to you.


Learn to be receptive of that gift,
Learn the Secrets of Love!

The First Secret - The Power Of Thought
***********************************

Love begins with our thoughts.
We become what we think about.
Loving thoughts create loving experiences and loving relationships.
Affirmations can change our beliefs and thoughts about others and ourselves.
If we want to love someone, we need to consider their needs and desires.
Thinking about your ideal partner will help you recognize her/him when you meet her/him.


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 asks 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, loving 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 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 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 it comes back to you it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was.
Even in a loving relationship, people need their own 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.
Let go of all your fears, the past has no power over you!

Remember-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 the people you loved…
Ask Your self?
Who would you call?
What would you say?
And now I ask you…


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 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 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 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!


Two things you should NEVER say
To the one you love:
"I love you, but...“

And…

"If you loved me, you would...“

Ask your self:
Should you really qualify love with conditions?
What we have once loved we can never lose.
All that we love deeply becomes a part of us!

We can only learn to love by loving!
