The 1st 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 when you meet her.
*********************************************
The 2nd 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 3rd 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 4th 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 5th 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 6th 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. "Today I
let go of all my fears, the past has no power over
me - today is the beginning of a new life."
****************************************************
The 7th 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, who would you call, what would
you say and ...why are you waiting?
***************************************************
The 8th 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 9th 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 10th 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 them completely and
unreservedly?" If the answer is "no", think
carefully before making a commitment.
