about. Loving thSecrets of Loveoughts create loving experiences and loving
relationships. Affirmations can change our beliefs and thoughts
about others and ourselves. If we want to love someone, we
need to consider their needs and desires. Thinking about
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 asks yourself, "What do I
respect about myself?" To gain respect for others, even
those you may dislike, ask yourself "What do I respect
about them?"




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 to 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 other's 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 love's seeds grow. If you want to bring love
into a relationship, you must first bring friendship.





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 it's 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 magic 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 have 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 relationships, you must be
committed to loving relationships. When you are committed
to someone or something, quitting is never an option.
Commitment distinguishes a fragile relationship 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 wrapped and emotionally suffocated. You cannot
love someone completely unless you trust them completely.
Act 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.
