In Order to Be Loved, You Must Give Love

It´s often said that you must love yourself before you are capable of loving others. That may be true, but what I like about this saying is that it looks at things from the other side. Love is a two-way street; we must give, in order to receive.

Only You Can Change Your Life

And here we have it. A very simple truth. How often do we wish that someone would come along and rescue us? It doesn´t work that way. If you want to change something in your life, the impetus has to come from you.

Don’t Spend Your Life Wishing. Impatience is the Enemy of Tranquility

If only … What an annoying pair of words! Wishing gets you nowhere but frustrated, ACTION will achieve change. Plus, wanting things that you don´t have may not actually make you as happy as you expect.
