Trust over trust



There are always plenty of songs about love and the attraction that goes with it...the head over heels feeling and everything. But do you or I honestly know a lot of popular songs that talk about the trust aspect in love? I can't think of any but nevertheless trust is an important area of relationships that deserves some attention. Be careful to keep the trust given to you and don't give your trust to anyone who hasn't earned it. And yeah if you wanna take that relationship somewhere golden then invest in the bank of trust.



Compromise

When it comes to love it seems people talk about everything except compromise. Remember a relationship involves two different people who might not agree entirely on every single issue of importance. Maybe there are some people like that out there...but the majority of people in successful relationships end up consciously, unconsciously or subconsciously using the 3 C's in the process of nurturing their relationship. Ask yourself, what step can you take today towards learning to healthily compromise?

The pursuit of love

In Tanzania there are 2 Swanglish sayings which can summarize the quote for today, Usipende kufosi mambo and Mpende akupendaye asiyekupenda achana naye. The first quote means don't develop a liking for forcing things to happen and the second one means Love the one who loves you and forget the one who doesn't. Both of these quotes tie back to love and the act of letting go. In the journey of love there are times of uncertainty, sometimes you have to step back and wait for the future to unfold. If you all are meant to be in whatever way that means to you....you all will be together. Of course, don't force love or the one you love to do that they do not desire to.

True love

Everyone wants to fall in love and stay there forever? So we end up not only wanting love, but true love, when we eventually decide to settle down. But true love is not just something, as easy as abc and 123, it is an everyday active process that requires two hearts to be actively engaged in being trustworthy, romantic, understanding and much more. The acronym for TRUE LOVE  below, might be a great reminder, and of course don't hold on to that person too tight. Let them also have their own time to do whatever it is, and of course because they are your true love, the necessary time apart won't change a thing.



 

Trust and promises...promises and trust

When it comes to daily relationships or even the corporate world, many of us want people we can trust...that is dependable people. Trust is indeed an important character. As for some people when it comes to choosing a life partner, trust is one of the most important things beyond even money, looks and other criteria. And it hurts when someone you trust doesn't keep a promise, but don't get bitter, but instead use that experience to motivate you to keep your promises. And, yeah don't make promises you can't keep for  the sake of the moment. Be strategic and truthful a day at a time, as you build blocks of truth, as there is no need to make a promise you can't keep in the first place.

Love and trust...trust and love

I think that "I love you" is sometimes easier to say than, "I trust you." Because trust is not the easiest thing, although to truly enjoy loving someone you have to trust them totally. A lack of trust is actually something very dangerous that has the potential to break the best of relationships. A lack of trust is toxic. So it is important to get rid of any emotional, physical or psychological baggage related to trust in order to have the freedom to build trust in your relationships a day and step at a time. Honesty is of course an essential step in doing so...don't be afraid...just say it. But watch how you say what you want to say...Timing is key or else you might  end up tearing  down your relationship instead of building it.

Patience is a virtue...

Waiting for that interview letter, that "I love you" or that meal is not always the easiest thing. When it comes to love, the human mind, body and spirit feels so many emotions but it takes a special kind of lover to say, "I love you and I can wait". Patience in love or any other area is not indeed for the weak but for the strong only. And, of course it is hard waiting for a lot of stuff...we all have our pet peeves when it comes to that. But have you sometimes noticed that some of the best things in life come out of waiting or let's say being patient?



Love in the air!

Hello everybody, I know it has been a long time since I have been on here. Today we are going to talk about love. In a song by Michael Jackson he once famously said, "I am a lover and not a fighter". I really like the quote above as it adds a spin by saying"I'll fight for what I love". So yeah! for all those in love or looking for love...remember it is okay to fight to keep that love. A good example would be for those in long distance relationships. If anyone of you has been in one or heard of one... I am sure you all know it takes a lot of "fighting". So for all those in long distance relationships separated by an hour to a mile or even a time zone....there is your shoutout : Long distance by Brandy

Early Happy Valentine's day lovers!
