Everything in life is based on the way we think. Society and the media bombard us with the idea of Valentine’s Day being the ultimate day for romance with the staple chocolates and flowers, but we have decided to change that perspective today. From here on, WE CHOOSE to see February 14th as LOVE DAY. You see, love is universal – it’s for everyone, not just for couples – and it can be given at any moment, and expressed in so many more meaningful ways than what society may have led us to believe. The new focus is to celebrate love and give love to whomever you want, including yourself. You deserve it. Read More…
Commitment makes a difference, not just in relationships but in everything you do. Whether personal or business, how invested you are in a decision will largely determine the results you yield. When you are ‘in’ 100%, there is no alternative. Yes, this can be scary. But it is also THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THINGS WORK. Read More…
However you wish to spend your holiday, beyond religion and tradition, it really comes down to one of the most powerful forces: LOVE.
People often talk about love as if it would automatically be accompanied by suffering. We have to change that concept. We are entering the Golden Era, where we want to create a world of peace, harmony and community. This ingredient called LOVE needs a new face. Read More…
Marriage can be the best thing that happens to you – or not. Some people thrive in it while others claim losing themselves in it. In a thriving marriage no one gets lost – there is you, me, and us. If anything, “we” just became stronger. But, like in anything in this dual reality, marriage has its pros and cons. In my personal opinion, it all depends on who you chose to marry. The good news is that, it’s your choice. YOU chose to marry that person, for whatever reasons YOU had at the moment. Marriage is amazing, when you marry the right partner. Yes: partner. Marriage is a partnership that takes daily work from BOTH people so that the association doesn’t go love-bankrupt. This kind of practical approach to love can only be understood by grown ups. And FYI: Growing up has nothing to do with age, it has to do with common sense, maturity, and socio-cultural exposure. Read More…
As women get older, we go through major changes, like menopause. We are all aware of the physical alterations our moms go through with age, but today we want to generate awareness about something deeper that is also taking place and is not discussed as much: the emotional implications of aging.
It’s a very difficult thing to look in the mirror one day and see a face that you don’t recognize. Crow’s feet, wrinkles around the mouth, spots, gray hair – all of these physical modifications replace previously flawless skin, bright eyes and lusciously thick hair. At the same time, you feel limited, because your mind remains intact (if you’re healthy) or even improves with age as you accumulate more knowledge and self-understanding, yet your body deteriorates as matter must. Even if you are aware of this happening, it is still a frustrating thing to go through. Read More…
People have a tendency to think that, in a beginning relationship, or one that has lasted only a few months, it is easier to be romantic because everything is so new and undiscovered. This is the kind of thinking that sets people up for failure and disappointment. Here is the problem: In general, many people’s view of romance is limited, probably due to ideas from TV and film. Some think romance is sex; some seem to think that if there are no candles or food involved, romance is non-existent; others think that romance can only be experienced away from your everyday life (like during a trip or while taking a vacation). To keep the romance alive in a long-term relationship, this old mentality needs an upgrade. Read More…
