Why do we fall in love?

Why do we fall in love?This kind of enigma doesn't have an answer, even the brainiac can't find the solution about this mystery.Indeed love is full of mystery, it's a mystery why we fall in love,how it happens and when it comes. It's even a mystery why some love grows and why some love fails.

You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and causes, but you will never do anymore that take the life out of the experience. Just as life itself is more than the sum of the bones and muscles and electrical impulses in the body. Love is more than the sum of the interests and attractions and commonalities that two people shared. And just as life itself is a gift that comes and goes in its own time, so the coming of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that cannot be questioned in its ways.

Sometimes....hopefully at least once in your life - the gift of love will come to you in full flower. Take hold of it and celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty,this is the dream we all share. More often it will come and take hold of you, celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on. You need to know this about love and accept it. You need to treat what it brings you with kindness.

If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you, love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.If you find yourself someone in love with you but you don't love him back, feel honored that love came and called at your door. But gently refuse the gift you cannot return, do not take advantage and do not cause pain. How you deal with love is how you deal with yourself. All our heart feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.If you fall in love with another and he falls in love with you, then love chooses to leave. Do not try to reclaim it nor to assess blame.."Let it go". There is a reason and there is a meaning,you will know in time.

Remember that you don't choose love. ..."Love chooses you". All you can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away. Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you,give it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give it to the world around you in any way you can.Many lovers go wrong, having been so long without love.They understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as empty places that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at love as something that flows to them rather than from them.The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as their love cools they revert to seeing their love as a need.They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone who seeks love. They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this and keep it to your heart. Love has its time, its own season, its own reason for coming and going. You cannot bribe it or coerce it or reason it into staying. You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do. Love always has been and always will be a mystery. "BE GLAD THAT IT CAME TO LIVE FOR A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE".

"Have a blessed weekend everyone!"..muah

Do not.....

♥ Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different that each of us is special.

♥ Do not set your goals by what other people deem important.Only you know what is best for you..

♥ Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future.By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

♥ Do not give up when you still have something to give.Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.

♥ Do not be afraid to encounter risks.It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

♥ Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.The quickest way to receive love is to give love; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.

♥ Do not dismiss your dreams.To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.

♥Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

-Have a wonderful day-

Confession of a desperate girl

I wish I have this:

Someone who calls me almost every minute, just to say I love you.
Someone who desperately hugs me, every time I fight.
Someone who hold my hand and grasp it tightly but gently.
Stares at me as if I'm the only one around.
Sings me a song even if he doesn't have a good voice.
Pulls me in the rain and dance with me.
And lastly.....
Someone who pulls me back in he's arms when I'm hurt.

"Being There"

One of the most sought after expressions of love is presence. Not many people realize this but it's true. It is not the gifts of material value, but the thought of being there. This is the most valuable gift we can give. To be there in person for the solemn or joyous occasions of our friends and dear one's, would surely make difference. Not just for the receiver but for the giver as well. For the gifts of the self, the self is renewed. It is something that we owe to one another, whatever the cost.

When we are truly present for other people, important things happened to them and to us. We renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally and spiritually. "Being There" is the ultimate expression of love and it lies at the very core of civility.

What occasions are most important for being there? Surely weddings and funerals head the list, birthdays, christening, anniversaries, family holidays and victory celebrations follow closely. But there are other, less obvious ways to express a sense of caring. Like visiting a sick friend, or one who has just broken off with his or her lover.

How can we bestow the gift of self?Here are some suggestions:

*Be positive about invitations:
Don't immediately think of an excuse, train yourself to say 'yes' instead of thinking of conflicts. Never say no to an invitation! This may not always be practical though there are cases where in saying 'no' is exceptional. It is the attitude that best counts. Be ready to involved yourself. Work things out and find ways to accept invitations, rather than thinking of ways to say 'no'.

*Go out of your way:
Sometimes it is difficult, but when we manage to be there, in spite of the convenience of travel, expenses or schedule. We are often surprised at what a difference our presence make.

*Make amends:
Sometimes a person mises a solemn event, feels embarrassed about it. Don't let guilt compound your absence. If you did not go to the ceremony, you can still go to the person.

***Remember that your presence can be greater gift, than any material thing you could send.***

"Don't Judge a book by it's cover"

Sometimes I feel like a book on a shelf.
Standing alone, I am all by myself.
People walk by to just pick me up and used me
Or just throw me down and hit or abuse me.
Their cares are my cover, or eye-catching title.
My contents and pages to them are not vital,
They couldn't care less, if I'm torn deep inside.
Just stroll right by with a strut or a stride
I want to just scream to let it all out.
I wish they could see what I'm really about.
I wouldn't care who is dumb or who's smart.
I would open to each with all my heart.

Why is our world so hung up on appearances? Why do we insist on judging people by their "covers" and never bother to find out what they're really about?

Why do we raise our noses, when we pass by someone who dressed wrong? Why do we ignore someone's answer to a question, because of the way he/she talks? Why do we pretend not to see the guy with the glasses and the pocket calculator? Why are we so insecure about ourselves that we have to make an outcast of anyone who is different?

In 1 Samuel 16:7 says that God does not judge by outward appearances, he looks at the heart. Why can't we learn to do the same thing?

It seems so ridiculous that people will shun some guy, because he is "too tall", "too skinny", "too short" or "not muscular enough, but it happens a lot. And girls are discarded because they're "too flat", "too tall", "too chubby", and "too skinny".

This kind of judgment happens at school , at church, at work and in other places. It influences our decisions on who gets to join clubs, who will be a class president, or who gets the promotion. But it gets really bad when we start looking for people to date or even to marry.

There are tons of women who can get operations, starve themselves, get their hair dyed, and so on. Good looking women aren't that hard to find! But it can be very difficult to find a woman who truly has a heart for God. You cannot go out and buy one of those. If you pass up a girl, because she does not fit your taste. Then you may end up the loser.

Women also do this tool if we are passing guys off, just because they do not work out enough or because they cannot gain weight or because they have a crazy looking haircut. Then we're not only being shallow and superficial, but we may be missing out on someone great.

I'm tired of seeing it happened. I am tired of catching myself doing it, and I am tired of having others do it to me. If appearances are what we value in others, then we might as well give up on human beings and spend out time playing with toys! If we only love at surface level well always have a loneliness inside, because well never learn to connect with others on a deeper level.

I think God did intend for us to enjoy and admire beauty and to do the best we can with what we have, but a face and body can only go so far. When you start getting to know other people and seeing beyond their looks, that is what is really beautiful.

Who cares about the beautiful wrapping paper and ribbon around a present? Some of the best present I've seen were wrapped in newspaper and given by loving friend!

I'm not just talking about the way we judge others. Learning to love also means learning to accept ourselves just as we are. To value our "contents" as well as our "cover" and work to be beautiful on the inside as well as on the outside.

If you feel frustrated because you don't feel like you are pretty enough or handsome enough. I hope you can begin to realized that when you get older most people value who you are more. After all the person inside, is the person God loves and he judges our lives by the book, not by the cover.

My collection....

A Piece of Something

Since I was a kid, I was found of collecting quotations from magazines, books, articles or even vandals at walls, chairs and tables. For me every line of those sentences contains truth we never realize.

Like a puzzle, it took me time to put the pieces as one until I came up with this whole picture of what those people are trying to say “together”.

While I was walking, I stopped for a while and thought of the things I don’t have, then I realized that the happiest of all don’t necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives.

In the gateway of my heart I put a sign that says “No trespassing” but love came laughing and said, ‘I enter everywhere’. Love knows no reason, love knows no lies, love defies all reason, love has no yes but love is not blind. Love sees but it doesn’t mind. Love is supposed to be a wonderful feeling. It shall inspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes, the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end. It starts with a smile, develops with a kiss and ends with a tear.

When you love you must not expect something in return in you do, you’re not loving but investigating. If you love, you must prepare to accept pain. For if you only accept happiness you’re not loving but using. Don’t go for looks it can deceive, don’t go for wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile coz only a smile makes a dark day seem bright.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves and not to twist them to fit our own image, otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them. Never try to impress someone to make him fall in love with you; coz when you do you’ll keep that standard for the rest of your life.

A sad thing about life is that when you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let him go. Maybe God wants us to meet few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know to be grateful for the gift. We oftentimes don’t see the reason why we don’t always get what we want but in the end of it all, we realized that what we wanted wasn’t meant for us after all. Everything happens for a reason, when you feel down because you didn’t get what you wanted just sit tight and be happy because God is thinking something better for you.

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. It’s always better to have found courage to love even if you love it in the end, rather than never finding love because you were too afraid to face its challenge. The greatest regrets in your lives are the risk you did not take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it! Remember that you pass this way only once.

Love no matter how hard you find it, you won’t see it. No matter how hard you try, you won’t get it. But when you’re about to give-up it comes. Sometimes the love you were looking for is right in front of you, so close your eyes and let your heart see itself. There are things you love to hear but you can never hear it from the person who says it with his heart. Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want him, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have. There are so many stars in the sky, only some are radiant to be noticed. Among those you choose to ignore is the one which is willing to shine for you forever, even if your glance remains elsewhere.

God never closes door without opening the window. He always gives you something better when he takes something away. Heartbreaks will last as long as you want and cut deep at you allow them to challenge is how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them in relationships. Thank God when you’re hurting or crying, there you are given the chance to measure the importance of the relationship of the people and you. When you grow you don’t become a better person experienced suffering. You have no right to ask when sorrow comes your way. When God puts a tear in your eye, it’s because he wants to put rainbow in your heart.

There are some things that we never want to let go of, people you never want to leave behind. But keep in mind to let go isn’t the end of the world. It’s a beginning of the new life; the brightest future will always be based in forgotten past. You can’t go on well in life until you let go of your forgotten past failures and heartbreaks. To let go is not to deny but to accept. To let go is not regret the past, but to grow and to live for the future. To let go is to fear less and to love more.

Don’t be afraid to break someone’s heart or have your heart broken because that’s how relationship is when you are young, they are stepping stones for the main one. Follow your heart it might not always be right but despite the pain. You’ll have memories that will make you smile even once and every rare, while it is better not to have the person you love right now but have them later than be with then now but lose them forever. Love has it’s time, season and own reasons. You can’t ask it to say you can only embrace it as it comes and be glad that for a moment in your life it was yours. Each of us given a pocketful of time spends however we may. We use that we will, we waste that we will. But we never get back a day. Don’t let each moment pass you by for within the twinkling eye that moment shall go and the feeling shall die, it might be too late when you open your eyes. Don’t be so busy planning the life you’re going to have that you fall to appreciate the one you’ve already been given. Dream what you want to dream, go where you wan to go, be what you want in life. We are given dreams without power to make it come true.

A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believe in the promised of love no matter how long the time and how far the distance. Never say goodbye when you still want to try, never give up when you still feel you can take it, and never say you don’t love the person anymore when you can’t go. True love doesn’t have a happy ending, that’s because true love doesn’t have an ending.
