44. Don't imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call "humble" nowadays: he won't be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who's always telling you that, of course, he's nobody. Probably all you'll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won't be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too.

55. God is not proud...He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him.-- CS Lewis
56. We are to be as unnoticed as the Lord was at times. We should be willing to pass through the crowd and not be noticed. Jesus made a whole different kind of wave, not a wave of worldliness that seeks the center. He was quiet yet He brought a storm. --W.A. Belle

Communication that really improves Relationships...

Communication is something we all know is necessary to keep any relationship strong and loving,

and although we are aware of the importance of communication,

we still seem to be clueless about what exactly good communication really is.

This does not mean you are clueless as a person, but it does mean that more attention is required on your part,

so that you can become more open and invite the many forms of communication that exist,

so that you will be able to understand yourself and your partner much better.

There is nothing that keeps a relationship healthy, better than understanding and once you start becoming more familiar with your communicating styles, as well as your partners,

you will be able to work better as a team in making the best of your relationship.

The first step in achieving better communication that will really work, is to take a look at you first.

People always tend to turn to their partner first when things are not running so smoothly in their relationship.

They automatically start pointing out what their partner is doing or not doing,

as well as how their partner is not listening to them.

This may all be true depending on your particular situation,

but it is important that you take the responsibility in reviewing your own actions and communication first,

before you can point anything out in your partner.

Remember, it is very easy to see other people's mistakes, but when it comes to looking at you,

it is much harder to accept criticism, even from yourself- because no one wants to be wrong.

This is where you need to get real about things.

Communication is not about who is right or wrong, but instead about helping each other see things from each other's perspective, so that you can be on the page and avoid any misunderstanding that will cause unneeded arguments.

Get winning out of your mind.

So many couples claim to have tried communication, but it does not seem to work.

If this is your case, then the best thing would be to slow down, calm down and take a few steps back.

Perhaps communication is not working for your relationship, but what method of communication are you using?

You see, communication itself cannot be the problem or the ineffective ingredient,

because communication is the main key to a healthy relationship, so it must be the way you and your partner are communicating.

When you or your partner talks to each other, do one or both of you talk to win the conversation,

or to actually reach a level of understanding of each other's needs and wants?

Believe it or not, it is very common for people to focus on being right and trying to convince their partner of seeing things their way, instead of just sharing what they think and feel so their partner can understand what they mean and what they need.

Listening is so important if you truly wish to accomplish good communication that will improve your relationship.

Are you really listening to what your partner is saying to you, or are you waiting to get things off you chest and make your points?

Listening may sound like an easy enough thing to do, but many confuse it with hearing.

Hearing what your partner is saying versus listening to them, are indeed very different.

Listening involves true dedication and your full attention to the words your partner is serving to you, as well as the tones and expressions that go along with those words.

Listening means that you are interested in learning more about what your partner is making an effort to tell you and making the emotional connection needed in order to achieve your relationship goals together.

Keep in mind that when in a relationship, all communication between partners has to be open,

honest, non-judgmental and patient, if you are to succeed and maintaining a happy and healthy relationship

Communication is not so complicated, once you understand what the right way communicating is,

and of course- what methods of communication works for you and your communication best.

Effective communication cannot happen on it's own or with the efforts of only one person.

Both you and your partner have to be open and willing to work as a team on improving the way you communicate,

so that you both can enhance your relationship skills and build a relationship where you both will have an understanding of who you are as individuals and what you both need and want.

Just remember to stay real with yourself and avoid painting a foggy and falsified picture- so that you will never be caught off guard with nay-painful surprises or stressful misunderstandings.

Tracking down your Soul Mate.. :D

Sure, we all dream about meeting the right person. . .the one that we are meant to be with forever.

Dreaming about it is all fun and easy, but the real question is, where do you find this soul mate of yours?

Fate? Well yes, if you believe in fate, then yes, it will have something to do with it, but not without effort on your part. Fate needs you to give it direction so that as a team, you can find the person you have always wanted as a part of your life.

The first thing you have to do before finding your soul mate, is finding yourself.

What qualities are important to you? What are your morals and beliefs? How do you show your affection and how do you expect it to be presented to you?

These are questions necessary for you to ask yourself before going out there.

Giving yourself an interview will make things clearer of what type of person you are really looking for, instead of just going on a blind search.

It is very common for a person to date people just for �dating�.

While dating is a fun and useful experience, it is not advisable to just go out with anyone just to have a date,

or to enter a relationship because you do not want to be alone.

When you go out on a date, it is important that you use that date as an opportunity to

observe and see if the person is someone you would like to see again and if they carry the qualities you are looking for.

If, for example, if you are searching for a person who is in touch with his or her romantic side, but go on a date with someone who likes acting rough at baseball games and loves hunting,

then you could pretty much see where the relationship would go.

You should be able to sense these qualities after a few dates.

Once you have realized that these dates will not lead to a relationship you have dreamed of,

then obviously the person is not your dream mate either, and it would be best if you stop seeing each other to prevent any misleading expectations.

Continuing to date someone just because you entered a comfort zone or do not want to hurt their feelings will only hold you back from meeting who you are really meant to be with,

not to mention waste precious time for both you and your dates.

Gently break it to him or her that you find them to be a very interesting and nice person,

but you feel like going solo for a while and then move on.

Tracking down your soul mate will require patience; so do not feel frustrated or hopeless if you do not find him or her in a certain amount of time. Good things take time to be brought together and you will come together when the time is right. The time becomes right when you look out for the right signs. Such signs would be:

1. Being strongly attracted to each other physically. 

2. Being strongly attracted to each others personalities. 

3. Having common interests. 

4. Sharing the same values. 

5. Major respect for one another. 

6. Someone who makes you feel truly special and worthy. 

7. Someone who puts in a great effort to show you their passion for you and the things that is important in your life. 

8. Meeting on the same emotional levels. 

These are some major and important signs to look out for when trying to track down your soul mate.

It will not be difficult to realize because you will know when things are right and the way you want it.

When you have found such a person, it is good for you to remember to take things one-step at a time.

Sometimes people jump in too fast and end up getting hurt or realizing they jumped to conclusions a little too soon.

Take it slow and observe how things are going.

See if the person who seems to be perfect in every way for you, remains to carry the same qualities as the relationship proceeds.

When time has proven that the two of you are truly compatible in ways you have always dreamed of,

then the relationship may go to the next level and the two of you can make a serious commitment and

start focusing on building a future together.

Like before, it is important that you pay attention to how you handle a commitment together and if you both agree on what kind of future the two of have in mind.

Staying on the same levels is a huge sign that you are with the right person.

Finding your soul mate will the best accomplishment you will ever make, but it does not stop there.

Finding the right person is just the beginning.

Keeping the right person takes work too, on both your parts.

The two of you will have to continue valuing each other for the rest of your lives, respecting each others individuality and dreams.

Refresh your memory of how the two of were brought together and why you both decided to make a commitment to one another.

As long as you keep the magic between you alive, your relationship will continue to grow the love and care you both never imagined could ever happen to you!

Sad but true...

Letting GO..

It's often hard to forget someone we love....

Because deep inside, it's the last thing that we want to do.

It is easy to say, but it's always difficult to let go of something so precious to us.

When someone becomes part of us, that person gets a little piece of our life

that's never easy to fill with just anyone else.

That is the reason why it is always painful to let go of our feelings for that certain person.

What's sad about love?

It's when you happen to know that there's just no hope for you being together.

Yet you still hope and pray that something good might happen for both of you one day.

It's when your mind says Let go.... But your heart says Hold on....

If you want to move on, then you have to leave the past behind.

He/She can never be yours.

You simply have to accept that reality.

If you keep hoping for the things that could have been yours,

then you will forever be a prisoner of your own dreams.

You will never find true happiness because you are detached from reality.

We should remember that when we love, never stick to only what our heart feels.

Sometimes, using our brain is a necessity.

Why do some people choose to love a cheater rather than a good one?

Why do we always believe they're good when they're not?

Because in Love....

You can't see the bad reality of things unless you get hurt by them.

You'll suddenly realized how bad that person is.

That's the pathetic part of being in love.

Sometimes, even the worst person in the world can be the best person for your own belief.

It is not wrong to love, but....

The problem with loving too much is not the fact the one you love doesn't give a damn

or doesn't love you as much as you do,

but it is the question that will forever hurt you every time you ask:

"Where do I failed? " D

We read quotes everywhere, friends told us that

When we love...we shouldn't give everything.

We must leave something for ourselves, so that when the relationship ended

it won't hurt so much that all we have to do is cry.

It is easy to say..but once you're already in that kind of situation,

you won't notice what you have done to the person.

The only thing you care about is you're happy with that person.

Until the day when everything fails you realized nothing's left for you to hold.Love is a game....Sometimes, we miss and get hurt.

But that doesn't keep us from taking the chance again.Yes, it is hard to accept that the person whom you think can

give you all the definition of happiness have to go.

But you can't change the past.We can't go back and manipulate things to the way we want it to happen.Because life would be meaningless and boring if we get all the things we want.But we can change the future and that's a beautiful thing about life.We all make mistakes, and we will have bad days, but as long as we let our past go

we will have a beautiful and bright future ahead of us.

Knowing that each day, we will learn something so that we keep growing to be 

a better person.

Life is like a rope, twined in all it's complexities and yet weave into one marvelous 

stream, that we have the chance to use something from.

Letting go is about learning that we have a choice.

We can choose to be hopeful rather than hopeless.

We can choose to act from faith rather than react from fear.

And we can choose to enjoy life rather than merely survive it.

There's no right or wrong when one choose to be happy.

it's just a battle between one's own happiness and the judgement of others.

As time goes by, life has a way of rearranging itself.

People enter your life, and inevitably, they leave as well.

Things have a tendency to happen that can turn our world upside down.

We’ll come to realize eventually, that even though things are different, we are as well.

Sometimes, no matter how much faith we have, we lose people.

But we never forget them.

And sometimes, it's those memories that give us the strength to go on.
