Dating, dining, dancing, conversing with, and romancing women take a lot of energy, but I can't think of a better way to spend it. To me, it's naturally invigorating. I feel alive. It's not for the infirm. There is a specific methodology for achieving a goal: First, the goal must be specific. Secondly, it must be measurable. Last, a deadline when it must be completed. Identify resources required.

When we are children we do not yet have an identity. We learn about who we are through the mirroring that we get from our parents. It is called mirroring to describe the ability of good parents to gently hold up an imaginary mirror in front of the child until they learn to see themselves clearly without harsh judgments. If we do not get enough realistic mirroring during the years we live with them, we remain pretty clueless about who we really are.

Everyone wants fun and excitement in a relationship. Greet our partner in such a way that is exciting. Get your lover addicted to you with your different way of greeting him. Your partner should always feel a wave of excitement on meeting you while returning from work or any place, after a long break or a short break whatever the gap the meeting should be exciting.

I am no expert at love. The very word makes me nauseous and sets my body to a defensive mode. But I have had my heart broken once or twice. Badly. By some pathetic loser by the way. Lucky for me, I'm a quick learner. I made ridiculous mistakes of cosmic proportions and learnt a thing or two.

Every relationship undergoes its own phases of good and bad times. During good times you take things for granted and forget to make efforts to keep the relationship intact. A relationship demands hard work. You have to work towards your relationship to make it happy and long lasting.

When a relationship lasts for a very long time the newness wears off, the excitement ebbs and that's just the way of things, right? I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be that way. If you put in a little effort to keep your love life fresh and exciting, the passion need never wane!

As a leader, and a lover, it is wise to know where you are coming from in relationships with people. As you know already from your reading, you can’t manage relationship if you can’t manage yourself. You can’t know someone else if you don’t know yourself. Otherwise, you will just be projecting onto people, and won’t know anything about your reality or your truth or love.

All emotion is only half the truth, an illusion; a complete lie. Life is balanced, we distort it by projecting out opinion onto it. We interpret it with our ego and spin it left or right and therefore emotionalise it. By emotionalising things, we can make it safe. And from a love aspect, then we see where we are – out of integrity – and could bring our ego back to balance, if we chose to.

The search for truth, is the conscious search for these laws. Evidence of them can be found in music, in dance, in business, healing as well as relationships.

There is a big difference between pain and suffering. Pain is when you cut your hand. You don’t worry about your hand if you know it will get better. Suffering is when you’re not sure that your hand will heal, and you worry about what is going to happen. In relationship, pain comes and goes, and this is normal. Suffering in relationship comes when you hold back love because you are worried about whether your relationship will survive the pain.

We communicate on many levels but there are two primary methods of sharing information with others. They are verbal communication and non-verbal communication. About 7-10 % of our total communication in any given day is verbal. This may change slightly depending on your career, age and what is going on in your life.

Sleep deprivation affects over 50% of the western world. Its effect is devastating. Changing mood, concentration, happiness, health, vitality and emotional balance. Sleep deprivation is a hidden gremlin that lurks behind so many of our day to day problems. Depression, exhaustion, anger, frustration, laziness, mental fatigue, poor decision making, anxiety, fear, relationship breakdown, impotence, sexual performance drop, abuse, violence, alcohol addiction and obesity. Sleep deprivation affects over 50% of the people you know, and yet, they will say their problems are not associated with poor sleep or the lack of it. 50% of your friends will be visiting chiropractors, health food shops, health farms, yoga classes, exercise programs, beauticians, doctors and taking “magic herbs” to deal with issues that at their root, come from sleep deprivation.

Do you have people in your life who truly bother you in big ways? I call them our soul attachments. Some people come into our lives for many reasons and a few are certainly intended to make us pay some debts to our karma bank or to our thought patterns. They feel and look like those bugs that you want to get rid of but never succeed.

Having bad luck when it comes to relationships? It may have nothing to do with luck at all...yet more to do with your willingness to pull people into your life, or keep them an arm's length away.

Pen pals are gradually becoming more technology savvy. Days are gone when people used to write letter to their pen pals. The approach was very personal. People used to receive letters written on attractive stationery from their pen pals. Recipients would be so overjoyed when they saw a letter from their pen pals in the mailbox. It was a real treat. People share their thoughts, joys and sorrows with their pen pals through letters. But, with the introduction of Internet, handwritten letters have become quite an obsolete phenomenon. Email has pretty much replaced handwritten letters.

Most women don't want to nag the man in their life - they just want to get through to him.

One of the major causes of relationships is the inability of one partner to forgive the other. Unforgiveness can destroy a relationship. Have a forgiving spirit, mend relationships and enjoy life, for life is short.

Have you ever, wrongly, assumed that your partner shared your beliefs and attitudes? Do you make a point of gathering information about a new partner? Or do you just revel in the joy of a new relationship? If you allow love to blind you, what you don't know about your relationship, may harm you.

In a newspaper last November 25, there was article about observing an International day for elimination of violence against women. It is heart-warming that finally the international world is starting to recognize that violence against women is a growing issue and they need to find a solution to it but after pondering this issue for quite some time I came to the following conclusions:

As it is ending a relationship is difficult. It is even harder for the person in the relationship who is giving all he/she has only to find out that their partner has been unfaithful. How do they handle it?

There will always be people that drift from one addiction to another. Needless to say, these are not the best candidates for long-term relationships or commitments. However, if you are struggling with a partner who has a simple short-term obsession, you can bring them back into the fold with common sense, passion and support.

Emotional and physical abuse is believed to be only for women. Men are the abusers and women the victims. Don't women abuse men? Yes they do get abused and mercilessly. A woman can be brutal when it comes to blames and accusations.
