Simple Truths About Love
~ The process is all about trust. Slowly, we get closer and closer. Some things just shouldn’t be rushed, and love is always worth waiting for.
~ The key word is patience. From a purely mathematical point of view, with billions of people on the planet, the romantic numbers are always on your side. There is definitely someone out there who is perfect for each of us.
~ Love inspires us to do great, beautiful, terrible things and a bunch of weird and stupid stuff (all of which, curiously enough, can be found in Country Western songs).
~ You’d be amazed at how quickly a quiet apology, in word or deed, can return lost smiles to everyone.
~ The journey to true love is not as daunting as it seems. You don’t have to lose yourself to find someone else. On the contrary, different points of view are every bit as important as the things you have in common.
~ Your own personality should flourish in a relationship, which brings out your best at home and at work.
~ The bottom line is that love, like everything else in life that really matters, requires genuine effort. Cuddles and kisses go a long way toward making love last, but they aren’t enough by themselves.
~ “Bah!” you say with false bravado, “Who needs all that schmaltzy love stuff anyway?” Which brings us to the most important reason people give up on love: Fear. Fear of being hurt, fear of rejection, fear of potential lovers who turn out to be evil people who take all the blankets during the night and squeeze the toothpaste from the middle. Fear is the number one obstacle to falling in love.
~ As you get to know each other, there are quiet moments where boundaries dissolve into a delicious all encompassing oneness, and there’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing that someone is there for you whenever for whatever.
~ There are great conversations about everything and nothing.
~ You can discuss your dreams and desires and know it is safe to share things you could never say to anyone else.
~ When you meet your special person, they will jump around with the celebratory squeals when you are a winner, or give warmth and support when you are not.
The greatest gift you can give to another person is to be yourself. I saw a note on a guy’s dating profile that read: if you would not have given up in the last five minutes, God would have answered your prayers!
