LOVE, Kloudiia

“Can you please tell me your insight about the saying,”love conquers all”… BECAUSE I REALLY NEED YOUR INSIGHT ABOUT IT A.S.A.P thanks!!!” – J

Dear J

I have shared some insights on this statement “Love conquers all” in this post as the final episode on my love belief series.

Love conquers all. This is a grand statement which takes even grander convictions to believe before you can see the wonders of love. However, it really can be just a very simple ingredient that has the complex power of making things happen, especially miracles.

My fourth gift for you – The Gift Of A Written Note.

Written notes, one of the possibly longest-lasting fashion in this world. It has evolved since the great olden days when paper and ink were invented. As the industry revolutionised and creativity keeps kicking in, the notes we receive now are no longer just a plain brown paper with words. They come in various fashion, designs and colours. Written notes have been keeping up with the world’s modernisation.

A tea session with a friend today led to this. I was forced to admit what is the hardest part in my relationship.

So what actually happened?

When you haven’t met up a friend for a relatively long time, there are certain topics that will fall into the “will-chat” list.

Career. Relationships.

We covered both. After the usual checking up on his long-lasting long-distance relationship, it is only natural that the focus turned to me and my relationship. That was when he posed me this question:

“So what is the hardest part in your relationship?”

Don’t aim for success if you want it;

just do what you love and believe in,

and it will come naturally.

My third gift for you is – The Gift Of Laughter

To begin let’s have some comic relief.

The first one was taken from an email I received from a girlfriend. Poor guy …

  

Laughter can be used in many areas to let us feel better. Humour can be used as a therapeutic tool and a form of coping mechanism that provides a form of temporary relief of stress. Humour can also be used to divert our attention on something negative (pain, depression, bad mood).

 

Yes, today truly is a happy day where celebration is to be called for. Why? Because occasions call for it!

It is the beginning of another power-packed, information-filled, definitely much more value for money seminar for all Internet Marketing hopefuls, wannabes and newbies. Internet Money Secrets seminar is happening few hours away from now and will last for this entire weekend.

Gurus from various destinations will be there, either physically or virtually, giving secret strategies, tips and what-have-theys to help the participants have a much easier way to kickstart a side business in the internet. This is going to be very exciting.

Things in life are truly unexpected. Like what Forrest Gump said “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what is inside until you open it”

Me and my sister just had dinner with a long-time friend for two purposes – one is to celebrate her birthday, and two is to give her farewell before she begins a completely new chapter in her life in a two weeks time.

She’ll be flying to Hawaii alone for a missionary work – to spread the words of Christ for 18 months.

This is us!

My second gift for you – The Gift Of Affection.

What is affection? Affection is warmth, love, intimacy and joy.

According to C.S Lewis, affection is summarised as

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

Dr Randy Carlson has a very good analysis of love and affection. In the article he mentioned that affection is a step beyond love. It says

Affection takes the loving relationship between a man and woman in marriage into the deeper realm of tender expressions that result in feelings of closeness, passion, and security. Affection takes work because it requires knowledge of what makes the other person tick.

We have all seen it happening to our friends or sometimes family members. You may have witnessed it unfolding in your eyes, or you could have heard those sob stories from others. 

We all know that love is this good feeling that makes one feel special and lifts you up. When you are in a healthy and loving relationship, you will have an assortment of experiences giving rise to positive emotions. They include affection, caring, concern, acceptance, joy, happiness, intimacy, trust and security.

My first gift for you is – The Gift of Listening.

At Prudential Insurance, they take pride in ”listening” – that’s what makes them stand out and different from the other insurance companies. So does this mean that the agents from AIA, Great Eastern or other insurance companies don’t listen. We know they do, they just didn’t use this as their main advertising angle.

Is this strategy working? I must say yes, because they knew that we loved to be listened to. If someone cared enough to listen carefully, with his heart and soul to our needs, then this person cares enough to protect our interests. That’s what most people believe.
