THE TEN SECRETS OF ABUNDANT LOVE

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 ourselves
and others. If we want to love someone, we need to consider their
needs and desires. Thinking your ideal partner will help you recognize
her when you meet her.

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 ask yourself, What do I respect about myself?
To gain respect for others, even those you may dislike, ask
yourself, What do I expect about myself?

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 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 others 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 loves
seeds grow. If you want to bring love into relationship, you must
first bring relationship.

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 its 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 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 main 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 eighth secret: The power of COMMITMENT.

If you want to 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
relationship, you must committed to loving relationships. When
you are committed to someone or something, quitting never an
option. Commitment distinguishes fragile relationships 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 trapped and emotionally suffocated.
You cannot love someone completely unless you trust them
completely. Acts 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.

LOVE IS
