without yours. There's more than room for everyone; in fact, there's a
need for everyone."

Thanks for everything!

Through simple mistakes, and careless words, that communication can be twisted. To avoid these mistakes you have to simply slow down, breathe deep and follow the advice below.
Don't Tune Them Out As You Form Your Opinion
Conversations are not cycles of you talking and listening just enough to form a response. If you don't fully invest in the conversation at hand, you are disrespecting your partner and not reacting appropriately. What you have to say is only part of the conversation, and your partner's opinion is a crucial part of the problem and solution.
They Don't Deserve Judgments
Your partner deserves better than judgments, they deserve to be heard and understood. You shut down potential solutions when you judge. Not only is it not productive, but you wouldn't want to be judged, so keep it fair and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Actively And FULLY Listen
Actively listening is a skill that you have to build up and a beautiful gift you can give your partner. Clear your mind and put aside your formations. Listen to the words they say and explore their meaning. Ask probing questions to better understand them. Make lots of eye contact and don't interrupt.
Assumptions Never Help
Assumptions detract from the truth. the truth we fabricate is specifically designed to cater to our fears and desires, basically our egos. Only by exploring the truth of the situation and our partner's position can any genuine and productive solutions can occur. Don't waste your time and energy with assumptions, or the trouble they cause. You will have to deal with the assumption's effects plus the original problem.
Don't Shut Down Or Resort To The Silent Treatment
As the argument heats up, or you find yourself far beyond your comfort zone, acknowledge your feelings and relay them to your partner. It's is fair to ask for a break in the conversation or argument. Be sure to remind them you aren't avoiding the subject, and BE SURE to get back to them after you cool down.
You can always preface the conversation by honestly and non aggressively explaining where you are emotionally.
When
people walk out of your life let them go if they honestly ever wanted
to be there in the first place they would never chose to leave.When you
truly love anyone you never even consider that person out of your life
for even a day...if they leave appreciate your friends and family that
never left your side, but were there for you at your darkest, loneliest
moments as those that really love you and can always no matter what be
counted on.Those people would never abandon you, they care too much to
ever hurt you.In life, you meet one person besides family that wants to
spend their life with you and when you meet that one right person
there's never any reason to ever have to worry because that right person
will be your soul mate, they will be there, they will be supportive,
your best friend, you will be their top priority,there will always be
trust and communication just between the two of you not shared with
others.
“I
don't want to be married just to be married. I can't think of anything
lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to,
or worse, someone I can't be silent with.”
Never take your loved ones for granted because you never know when their hearts will stop beating, and you won't have a chance to say goodbye.
“The lesson learned: never take your loved ones for granted. And if you're ever lucky enough to find that one person in life who makes you love more than any other person could possible make you love, you treat every day together as if it were your last. You cherish every moment. ~ Sebastian Cole
Never take someone for granted Hold every person close to your heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you’ve lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones ...
Relationships can get messy. And that's only because we're capable of feeling intense emotions rapidly, sometimes so fast that we forget to take a step back every now and then to really think about what's going on.
Sometimes those intense initial feelings you have for one another can keep your relationship happy for a short time, but eventually there has to be something else that takes its place.
Otherwise, you're likely to succumb to the boredom, fear, anger and frustrations of an unhappy relationship. Here are six signs you're in the wrong relationship and need to move on:
You're starting to resent them
Falling
out of love with your partner can happen, but when you start to have
feelings of hate or contempt for them, it's a sign that things are about
to get bad. Don't let yourself become bitter and fearful.
You blame each other for everything
You think that everything wrong with the relationship is their fault, while they think the same about you. Of course, you both know that neither person is 100 percent to blame. But you're not about to let the other person know that. Time to move on.

You're entirely different from each other
If
you like to be outside in the mountains all day, but your partner won't
get off the couch for more than five minutes, certain needs and desires
will eventually feel unfulfilled if both partners are not okay with the
other's lifestyle.
Maybe the two of you met and had an instant connection, but as time went on you started to realize that you don't actually have much in common. These differences can be a dealbreaker.

You're not being yourself
If you've noticed that you've lost a lot of what it meant to be you, you might want to step back and re-evaluate things. If we're not growing and changing for the better when we're with someone, or are actually getting worse, then it's a sign that things are not right. Your partner should bring out the best version of yourself.

You fantasize about being with other people
While you might not be physically cheating on your partner, fantasizing about a life that doesn't include them is a form of emotional cheating. Daydreams and visions of a better life with someone else, even if they're not real, is telling that you're currently unsatisfied.

You're not really trying
A
great way to tell if you really want to be in a relationship is whether
or not you care. If you're feeling more and more apathetic as the
relationship moves forward, there really is no point in throwing time,
money and effort at it, is there?
If you're bored with a relationship and can't find a reason to care, it's a sign to move on without each other. Apathy is the opposite of love.

Boy: Hey, baby!
Girl: Hey.
Boy: I missed you at office today. Why weren’t you there?
Girl: Yeah, I had to go to the doctor.
Boy: Oh my God, are you okay??
Girl: Silence
Boy: Sweetie!! Talk to me!!
Girl: I . . .
Boy: You what?? YOU WHAT???
Girl: I have CANCER and I’m on life support.
Boy: *breaks into tears*
Girl: They’re taking me off tonight.
Boy: Why??
Girl: I wanted to tell you, but I couldn’t .
Boy: Why didn’t you tell me?
Girl: I didn’t want to hurt you.
Boy: You could never hurt me.
Girl: I just wanted to see if you felt about me the same as I felt about you.
Boy: …?
Girl: I love you more than anything. I would give you the world in a heartbeat. I would die for you and take a bullet for you.
Boy: (crying)
Girl: Don’t be sad. I love you and I’ll always be here with you.
Boy: Then why did you break up with me?
Nurse: Young man, visiting hours are over.
(The boy leaves and later that night the girl is taken off of life support and dies, but what the boy didn’t know is that the girl only asked him those questions so she could hear him say it one last time. She only broke up with him because she knew she only had 3 more weeks left to live and thought that it would cause him less pain and give him time to get over her before she died.)
NEXT DAY The boy is found dead with a gun in one hand and a note in the other.
THE NOTE SAID:
“I told her that I would take a bullet for her, just like she said she would die for me.”

One
day not too long ago the employees of a large company in St. Louis ,
Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on
the front door.
The
sign said: “Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in
this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room
that has been prepared in the gym.”
At
first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died,
but after a while they started getting curious about who this person
might be. The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay
their last respects.
Everyone wondered: “Who is this person who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he’s no longer here!”
One
by one the employees got closer to the coffin and when they looked
inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin,
shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of
their soul.
There
was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see
himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:
“There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU.”
YOU are the only person who can revolutionize your life.
YOU are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success.
YOU are the only person who can help yourself.
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your company changes.
Your
life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs,
when you realize that YOU ARE the only one responsible for your life.
A famous inspirational speaker said :
" Best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman, who wasn't my wife. "
Audience was in shock and silence.
He added : "She was my mother"
(A big round of pause & laughter)
A very daring husband tried to crack this at home.
After dinner, he said loudly to his wife in the kitchen :
" Best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman, who wasn't my wife "
Standing for a moment, trying to recall the second line of that speaker.

By the time he gained his senses,
he was on a hospital bed, recovering from burns of boiling water !!!
Moral : Don't Copy, if you can't Paste...
But the guy came from a poor family. The girl’s parents weren’t too happy.
So the young man decided not only to court the girl but to court her parents as well. In time, the parents saw that he was a good man and was worthy of their daughter’s hand.
But there was another problem: The man was a soldier. Soon, war broke out and he was being sent overseas for a year. The week before he left, the man knelt on his knee and asked his lady love, “Will you marry me?” She wiped a tear, said yes, and they were engaged. They agreed that when he got back in one year, they would get married.
But tragedy struck. A few days after he left, the girl had a major vehicular accident. It was a head-on collision.
When she woke up in the hospital, she saw her father and mother crying. Immediately, she knew there was something wrong.
She later found out that she suffered brain injury. The part of her brain that controlled her face muscles was damaged. Her once lovely face was now disfigured. She cried as she saw herself in the mirror. “Yesterday, I was beautiful. Today, I’m a monster.” Her body was also covered with so many ugly wounds.
Right there and then, she decided to release her fiance from their promise. She knew he wouldn’t want her anymore. She would forget about him and never see him again.
For one year, the soldier wrote many letters—but she wouldn’t answer. He phoned her many times but she wouldn’t return her calls.
But after one year, the mother walked into her room and announced, “He’s back from the war.”
The girl shouted, “No! Please don’t tell him about me. Don’t tell him I’m here!”
The mother said, “He’s getting married,” and handed her a wedding invitation.
The girl’s heart sank. She knew she still loved him—but she had to forget him now.
With great sadness, she opened the wedding invitation.
And then she saw her name on it!
Confused, she asked, “What is this?”
That was when the young man entered her room with a bouquet of flowers. He knelt beside her and asked, “Will you marry me?”
The girl covered her face with her hands and said, “I’m ugly!”
The man said, “Without your permission, your mother sent me your photos. When I saw your photos, I realized that nothing has changed. You’re still the person I fell in love. You’re still as beautiful as ever. Because I love you!”
Guy, "But I'm not ready!"
Death said, "Well today your name is the first on my list."
Guy, "Okay then why don't you take a seat and we will drink a COFFEE before we go?"
Death, "All right."
The Guy gave Death some COFFEE with sleeping pills in it. Death finished COFFEE and fell into a deep sleep!!! The Guy took the list & removed his name from top of the list and put at the bottom of the list!!
When Death woke up he said to the Guy, "Because you have been so nice to me now I will start my job from the BOTTOM of the list."
MORAL: Whatever Is Written In Your Destiny…Will Never Change No Matter How Much You Try To…!
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it. Bruce Lee
Don't be afraid to be awesome. Sometimes being weird and different is good. When you think you're working hard, there is always someone else working harder, so always be yourself and know your stuff. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Jim Morrison
Everything
is fine and dandy. You agree with each other and you compromise. But,
as the relationship moves past the “honeymoon stage,” you start to show
opinions, differences, and your individual personalities. It is then
that you experience a fluctuation in the harmony of the union. A
relationship gets tested. If you can have healthy arguments, you can
truly learn from one another.
Arguing is a major form of communication.
Arguing is a major form of communication.
It
shows individualism, different perspectives and the ability to teach
each other. Arguments aren’t necessarily an indicator that there are
problems in a relationship. Psychiatrist explains that arguing well
requires skills that take time to build. Here are five of his
suggestions:
* Don’t insist on being right
* Speak up as soon as you feel anger rising
* Listen
* Stick to the topic at hand
* Don’t say something you will regret
Why Couple Who Argue Love Each Other More
Arguing doesn’t determine that a relationship is suffering.
Having
arguments can actually indicate that two people have their own
individual ideas and opinions. They can bring them to the table and
share them in a healthy manner. Relationships that do not argue can be
withdrawn and full of tension, as neither party wants to share their
thoughts to not hurt each other. They may bottle it all up. The lack of
arguing can also be expressed as a lack of engagement to the
relationship. There may be a problem with trust. Perhaps you need to ask
yourself the following questions:
How committed are you if you can express your own ideas?
Are
you afraid of stepping over boundaries? In your relationship, can you
truly be your authentic self? Are you afraid to speak your ideas and
opinions?
Dr. Stephanie Sarkis, shared on
Psychology Today, that there are seven ingredients to a healthy and
happy relationship, and arguing is one of them. She goes on to explain,
“I’ve never seen a healthy couple that doesn’t argue. They never fight,
however – they argue. If a couple comes into my office and tells me
they’ve never argued, something isn’t quite right. You can argue without
fighting. Arguing is non-combative – you and your partner state your
points of view without name-calling or raising your voice. Sometimes you
agree to disagree – and that’s okay. Figure out what your
‘non-negotiables’ are – the things that you will not budge on. Now
rethink that list. I like the saying, You can either be right, or
married.”
There will always be challenges and conflicts in a relationship.
Once
the initial stages pass on to stability and longevity, people tend to
fall into their own territories again. They want to be heard and
understood, follow their passions, and be acknowledged for who they are.
Couples who argue are expressing their desires to be heard. When done
constructively, it isn’t fighting. It is expressing their needs. And
happy couples hear each other. In a moment of heavy discussion. they
will stand their ground, and this is a sign of mutual respect. You can
respect and show vulnerability.
There is a difference between angry fighting and truly expressing your thoughts in a relationship.
You
learn to pick and choose your battles. You begin to understand what’s
important to argue about and what you need to just let go. Author and
motivational speaker, Elizabeth Gilbert, says it best: “You can measure
the happiness of a marriage by the number of scars that each partner
carries on their tongues, earned from years of biting back angry words.”
Keeping quiet is not always a holistic or healthy way to create trust
in a relationship. Being submissive is not an act of valor. It is an act
of vowing down to satisfy another while feeling like a martyr in the
end. Therefore, a trusting and loving relationship can argue without
being angry. They can show different sides to an issue.
Couples who argue also have a tendency to be passionate.
Some
couples enjoy the make-up sex after an intense argument. They thrive on
this roller coaster ride that increase their hormones and blood
pressure. Relationship expert Dr. Pam Spurr agrees stating, “The way in
which you argue signals so much about a relationship. The wise couple
acknowledges this and keeps an eye on how they treat each other over
disagreements. Subconsciously, bickering demonstrates you care about
each other even if while bickering you feel annoyed towards your
partner. For instance, it shows that you do want your partner to drink
less and look after their health. Or you do want them to be on time so
that neither of you are stressed out when you have places to be and
things to do, etc.”
Mutual respect, love, compromise, compassion and trust are important factors of a healthy relationship. Like
everything in life, it’s about moderation. You never want to insult or
disrespect a loved one. You can state your point in a manner that both
parties can hear. When you are authentic in a relationship you can
always share what you believe in. It’s all in how you present any
discussion.
“The truest form of love is how you behave toward someone, not how you feel about them.” ~ Steve Hall ---
No matter how much you love your spouse, arguing with them is pretty much inevitable — especially when you have kids.
When you both work hard to do what’s best for your family, the stress and frustration may become too much to bear.
So
when this wife felt unappreciated by her husband, she got tired of
fighting with him. She tearfully left him alone with the children
without any sign that she’d come back. Just two days later, though, her
husband decided to write her a letter about his feelings, and you need
to see what it says.
“My darling,
Two nights ago, we had a huge argument. I was exhausted when I got home from work. It was 8:00 p.m and all I wanted to do was to lie down and watch the game.
You
weren’t in a good mood, and you were clearly tired after having a long
day. You were trying to put the baby to sleep as the other kids were
fighting, and all I did was turn the volume up.
“Would
it kill you to play a more active role in your children’s upbringing?”
you asked, turning the television volume back down. “You can help out
more around the house, too.”
“Hey,”
I said defensively. “I work hard all day just so you could play in the
doll’s house all day.” The argument just kept going like that. I said
terrible things to you that I can never take back, and you screamed,
saying that you were sick of it all. So you tearfully ran out of the
house, leaving me to take care of the children on my own.
I
was forced to feed the kids and put them to bed all by myself. When you
didn’t come back the next day, I was forced to ask my boss if I could
take a day off so I could take care of the children.
I
experienced the crying and the tantrums. I experienced having to run
around so much all day that I didn’t even have a chance to shower.
I
experienced being forced to heat the milk, getting the kids dressed,
and cleaning the kitchen all at once. I experienced being cooped up all
day without speaking to an adult. I experienced the inability to sit
calmly at the table to have a relaxed meal whenever I wanted, because I
had to run after the kids.
I
experienced feeling so physically and emotionally drained that I just
wanted to sleep for 20 hours straight, but had to get up a few hours
after falling asleep because the baby was crying. I lived two days and
two nights the way that you do, and I think I get it now.
I
get your exhaustion. I get that being a mother is all about sacrifice. I
get that it is more tiring than being among corporate bigwigs for 10
hours and making economic decisions.
I
get how frustrated you must be to have to sacrifice your job and
financial freedom so that you can provide for your children. I get how
uncertain you are about the fact that your economic security now depends
on your partner and not just you. I get how hard it is to not be able
to hang out with your friends, exercise, or get a good night’s sleep.
I
get how challenging it is, being locked up and being forced to to watch
the children while imagining what you must be missing in the outside
world. I also get that you become upset when my mother criticizes how
you choose to raise our children, because nobody in the world knows what
is best for children like their own mother.
I
get that being a mother means carrying society’s greatest burdens.
Being the person that nobody appreciates, values, or remembers. I write
you this letter not just to tell you that you are missed, but
additionally because I don’t want to go another day without telling you:
“You are strong, doing an excellent job, and I admire you.”
I did not expect that ending. It looks like he learned his lesson the hard way!
Share this touching story with your friends.
The first one, a redhead, is strapped in the electric chair, and is asked if she has any last words. She says, “I am from Grace University, and believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent,”
They throw the switch and nothing happens.
They all immediately prostrate themselves; beg for her forgiveness, and release her.
The second one, a brunette, is strapped in and gives her last words, “I am from the Creighton School of Law and I believe in the power of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent.”
They throw the switch and again, nothing happens.
Again, they all immediately prostrate themselves; beg for her forgiveness, and release her.
The last one, a blonde, is strapped in and says, “Well, I’m from the University of Alabama, Huntsville and just graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and I’ll tell you right now, you ain’t gonna electrocute nobody if you don’t plug this thing in.”
A father left 17 camels, as the inheritance for his three sons.
When the father passed away, his sons opened up the will.
When the father passed away, his sons opened up the will.
The
Will stated that THE ELDEST SON SHOULD GET HALF of 17 camels while THE
MIDDLE SON SHOULD BE GIVEN 1/3RD (ONE-THIRD) & THE YOUNGEST SON
SHOULD BE GIVEN 1/9TH (ONE-NINTH) of the 17 camels.
As
it is not possible to divide 17 into half or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the
three sons started to quarrel with each other. So, the three sons
decided to go to a wise woman.
The wise woman listened patiently about the Will.
The
wise young woman, after giving some thought, brought one camel of her
own and added the same to 17. That increased the total to 18 camels.
Now, she started reading the deceased father’s will.
Half of 18 = 9.
So she gave the eldest son 9 camels
1/3rd of 18 = 6.
So she gave the middle son 6 camels
1/9th of 18 = 2.
So she gave the youngest son 2 camels.
Now add this up: 9 plus 6 plus 2 is 17,
and this left one camel, which the wise woman took away.
Half of 18 = 9.
So she gave the eldest son 9 camels
1/3rd of 18 = 6.
So she gave the middle son 6 camels
1/9th of 18 = 2.
So she gave the youngest son 2 camels.
Now add this up: 9 plus 6 plus 2 is 17,
and this left one camel, which the wise woman took away.
LEARNING 1
The
attitude of negotiation and problem solving is : To find the 18th
camel, i.e. the COMMON GROUND. Once a person is able to find the 18th
camel, that is the COMMON GROUND… …ANY ISSUE GETS RESOLVED. It is
difficult at times to find the COMMON GROUND. But the spirit is this
only
LEARNING 2
To reach any solution of any problem…. First step is to believe that there is a solution. Otherwise there won’t be any!
A soldier stationed in Afghanistan recently received a letter from his girlfriend back home. It read as follows:
Dear Rocky,
I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is just too great.
I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since you've been gone, and it's not fair to either of us.
I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.
Love,
Bocky..............
The
soldier, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow soldiers for any
snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters or
ex-girlfriends.
In addition to the picture of Bocky, Rocky included all the other pictures of the pretty gals he had collected from his buddies.
There were 57 photos in that envelope.... along with this note:
Dear Bocky,
I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who the hell you are.
Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.
Take Care,
Rocky

Researcher
Jonathan Cheek told Science of Us that there are four different types
of introverts: social, thinking, anxiousand restrained and that every
introvert has varying degrees of these traits, which makes sense
considering introvert is a huge term that has various meanings and
traits within itself.
1. Social Introversion:
A social introvert is the cliché type of introvert, if you will. It’s the type of introvert who likes to be alone and prefers not to socialize or if they have to, they prefer to keep their group fairly small and close-knit. Social introverts get their energy from being alone – one of the biggest traits of introversion – and being around people drains them emotionally, mentally and sometimes even physically. This type of introversion is often the type that gets mistaken for shyness – being socially introverted doesn’t necessarily make you shy or having anxiety about social situations, it simply means the individual prefers solitude over time spent with lots of other people.
2. Thinking Introversion:
A thinking introvert is somebody who likes to think, about anything and everything. The perfect word to sum up a thinking introvert is pensive. Being self-reflective and analyzing situations, conversations and memories is one of the traits of being a thinking introvert. Cheek claims thinking introverts are “capable of getting lost in an internal fantasy world. But it’s not in a neurotic way; it’s in an imaginative and creative way.”
3. Anxious Introversion:
A self-explanatory title for this introvert: an individual who gets anxious in social situations. The anxious introvert might not stay away from the party because they enjoy solitude, but because they experience a high state of anxiety, self-consciousness and/or awkwardness when in, or even thinking about, social situations. This kind of introversion ties in with worrying about previous social interactions and why things are the way they are. This type, however, can be manipulated should you define yourself as an anxious introvert. Therapy and counselling can be a very useful tool in finding coping strategies for anxiety, building your social confidence and moving you out of the anxious introvert box.
4. Restrained Introversion:
Perhaps the least-known type of introversion there is, restrained introverts are people who take a while to “warm up.” They may enjoy being around people, but only after they become used to the situation and the people. Another word for this type of introversion is reserved and preferring to observe and then think before speaking or acting.

Cheek claims thinking introverts are “capable of getting lost in an internal fantasy world. But it’s not in a neurotic way; it’s in an imaginative and creative way.”
3. Anxious Introversion:
A self-explanatory title for this introvert: an individual who gets anxious in social situations. The anxious introvert might not stay away from the party because they enjoy solitude, but because they experience a high state of anxiety, self-consciousness and/or awkwardness when in, or even thinking about, social situations. This kind of introversion ties in with worrying about previous social interactions and why things are the way they are. This type, however, can be manipulated should you define yourself as an anxious introvert. Therapy and counselling can be a very useful tool in finding coping strategies for anxiety, building your social confidence and moving you out of the anxious introvert box.
4. Restrained Introversion:
Perhaps the least-known type of introversion there is, restrained introverts are people who take a while to “warm up.” They may enjoy being around people, but only after they become used to the situation and the people. Another word for this type of introversion is reserved and preferring to observe and then think before speaking or acting.
One night while lying on the bed, he received a text message from her. He didn't read it, instead he ignored it and slept off.
In the morning, he got a call from his girlfriend's mom. She was crying helpless while telling him that his girlfriend was killed that night she sent the text to him. He remembered there was a message that came in and he read it... "Honey please come & help me, Someone is following me, I'm close to your street...please"
MORAL : Never ignore a person who loves you and cares for you because one day you may realise you've lost the moon while counting the stars!
