Saying "I love you" without the spoken word

Often a gesture is stronger than a word or three words Three Words, that being the statement of affection with the reiterated term. .. I Love You. The concept stated is a hardy endearment to many, But why speak when the conduct is extremely loud and clear by this other method?

Think of the hand that has held yours at a time when encouragement was needed or praise was felt by both. It is the unspoken understanding between people that creates a lasting bond. A person can easily remember the touch of comfort and emotion that another feels through the senses. Have you ever just wanted to grab hold of someone and let them know that how you feel? Chances are that this being is overwhelmed with love of the motion you have just extended.

Placing your heart in view of others is complete sincerity with enviable charm. Prioritize this relationship and sacrifice some self indulgences. Treat the significant other with kind words, courtesy and possibly even material items , this is all done to reflect your thoughts about them. Is it possible that a person will almost always reciprocate with the same attitude you have set forth? I believe that when one kind indication is given, another is sure to follow with possibly a louder magnitude.

Love is expressed in various ways without speaking it directly. Take for instance the Father who wants to spend time with a daughter who resides in another state 1200 miles from his home. As a truck driver he has rearranged his daily runs to establish a route that would indirectly drive him right to her front door. His daughter knows his schedule and is sure to have his favorite dinner prepared for him, right down to the baby carrots he loves! It is without question that the love shared between the Father and Daughter is a mutual admiration. Can you recall an event that you prepared for, got dressed up for or even cleaned your house like a crazed person ? This was all to impress the other person and show them you took the time to please only them . It's love, and it is why we create special attention to one another.

Show your feelings of love without making a statement to someone, Act on it! and relish in the feeling that this powerful word has so much to give to so many. Just like a picture being worth thousands of dollars, our actions when loving another is a figure beyond denomination. Spend your emotions and factor in the possible returns.

We've all heard the saying, "Actions speak louder than words". It's true. We can say things to people and mean one thing while acting out the opposite. For example, "I love you". We say it and then we're impatient, short, curt, and hurtful when it comes to how we behave, especially to those we say matter to us the most . Here are a few suggestions on how to say 'I love you', without saying anything at all.

Breakfast in bed. It doesn't have to be elegant. How about just a fresh cut flower and a pop tart? It is, after all, the thought that counts, right? Imagine the message you'll be sending your spouse when you let them be the one to sleep in and brought them a pop tart!

Pouring one cup of coffee? Why not make it two? Don't ask, just do it. Show them that you were thinking about them.

Leave a note tucked under their pillow with one sentence of something you admire about them.

If your partmer usually does the laundry, surprise them and throw a load in and not only finish the process but put the clean, folded clothes away.

Picking up after yourself speaks volumes. It says that you consider the worth of your spouse to be more than your personal maid.

Do your own dishes, at least. Most homes have dishwashers and yet, I've seen countless kitchen sinks full of dirty dishes that have sat for days. Just who are you expecting to take care of it?

Do that one chore this week that your partner despises. Is it scrubbing the toilet? Taking out the trash? Mowing? Ironing? Roll up your sleeves and go for it.

You get all cleaned up for the office - why not your special someone, just because? It says that you care how you look for them and not everyone else. Comb the hair, get showered, put on some aftershave (or perfume, as they case may be). Good hygiene is attractive.

Lose some weight. We need to do it for ourselves, but many of us could stand to shed a few pounds so that we are our best for our loved ones. It says we care not only for them but for ourselves, enough to live a healthy life and be able to spend a longer lifetime with them.

Spend the day looking for the best in your partner and commenting on those things, choosing to not point out the negative. For every seven praises, it only takes one condemnation to erase them all and cause a person to feel like a failure. Make your partner feel like a winner and point out the positive.

Is there a project unfinished or that you've been dragging your feet over and is a sore spot with your mate? Why not quietly get back to it and get 'er done!

Leave a love note tucked in the pants pocket, wallet, lunch bag... What a lift during a hard day at work.

Pack a light picnic (crackers, cheese, fruit, drinks) and take a ride to their favorite 'spot'. Top of the hill, down by the beach, etc. I once witnessed a young woman arrive about ten minutes before her husband down by the lake we lived by and she covered the table along the pathway with a linen table cloth, wine glass, real plates, flatware and they celebrated his birthday right there. It was beautiful and she went to a lot of preparation to make it so nice. If it spoke volumes to me, imagine what it did for him!

That's the thing about telling someone you love them without saying anything - you spend a lot of time thinking about them as you think about what you're doing (or going to do) for them. Have fun and come up with some of your own. Someone will love you for it.

The power of confidence

The power of confidence- personified! Read story below.

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

-- Mahatma Gandhi, Statesman

Quote

The business executive was deep in debt and could see no way out.

Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him.

"I can see that something is troubling you," he said.

After listening to the executive's woes, the old man said, "I believe I can help you."

He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand saying, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year from today, and you can pay me back at that time."

Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The business executive saw in his hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!

"I can erase my money worries in an instant!" he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he thought.

With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.

"I'm so glad I caught him!" she cried. "I hope he hasn't been bothering you. He's always escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D. Rockefeller. "

And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he'd been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him.

Suddenly, he realized that it wasn't the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.

Encourage Yourself & The World Is Yours !

Confidence and Self-Esteem were best friends. They went everywhere together. If Confidence bought a new dress, Self-Esteem bought one just like it. They were very close.

One day a new kid came to their school. His name was Peer Pressure. He had a friend called Hateful Words. They decided to give Confidence a hard time.

They constantly teased her. They forced her to do terrible things. It was so terrible that Confidence lost Self-Esteem. When Self-Esteem wanted to start some classes, Confidence said they wouldn't be any good.

Then one day, Peer Pressure introduced Confidence to Doubt. He wanted to ruin Confidence, but Peer Pressure said he couldn't yet. Self Esteem couldn't understand what was wrong with Confidence. Confidence now hung around with Depression, Low Self-Esteem, and Overeating.

These girls were friends of Peer Pressure. Self-Esteem no longer had any friends. She no longer felt good about herself. She went to see her Imaam. Imaam Good Words told her how to talk to Confidence. He introduced her to his daughter, Encouragement.

Encouragement and Self-Esteem went to find Confidence. Self Esteem hoped she wasn't too late. The girls found Confidence in a stupor. She was no longer a vibrant, happy young girl. There were dark circles under her eyes. She had gained so much weight from eating that she couldn't move.

Encouragement gasped and Self-Esteem cried. She begged Encouragement to do something.

Encouragement began to hug Confidence. She kissed her and loved her. She told her that she was a beautiful young lady who had a lot going for her.

Encouragement held Confidence so tightly that Self-Esteem thought she would smother her. Confidence began to cry. As she cried, she seemed to lose weight. Then a bright light suddenly glowed from Confidence and she began to smile.

Peer Pressure and his friends didn't like what Encouragement was doing and tried to attack her. They hit at her and pulled at her, but they couldn't pull her away from Confidence. Then Confidence began to speak.

"Get away from me, Peer Pressure. Take your friends and go. You no longer have any power over me." Confidence was now a glowing light. She and her friends made sure that Peer Pressure and his gang never bothered anyone in their town again.

If you feel that Encouragement is not your friend, then try to find Encouragement in yourself. Self-Esteem and Confidence will follow

2) He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.

3)He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha,that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he haseverything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or afence.

4) He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.

5) He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.

6)His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only oneletter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals forthe year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.

7) He has given his CEO's only two rules.

Rule number 1: Do not lose any of your share holder's money.

Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.

8 ) He does not socialize with the highsociety crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself somepop corn and watch television.

9) BillGates, the world's richest man met him for the first time only 5 yearsago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with WarrenBuffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But whenGates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became adevotee of Warren Buffet.

10) Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

11) His advice to young people: Stay away from credit cards and invest in yourself.

HOW TO ENJOY THE PRESENT

Living with your mind focused on the future causes you to miss out on the now and our lives are made out of moments of now, not of moments of the future. By living in the future you don’t actually live at all.

Of course, it’d be nice to live so I’m trying to enjoy the journey – the present. Here are some ways to do that:

1. Focus

Pure focus is bliss. When your thoughts, actions and emotions are all directed towards a single function you are focusing and you are in the present. You should get lost in your work. Set a deadline for yourself to finish a task and see your level of focus skyrocket.

Right now I’m using e.ggtimer.com and have it set for 20 minutes to finish this article (which I’ve pre-outlined). Perhaps the deadline is too tight, but that’s great, because it’s a challenge that doesn’t allow for procrastinations or over thinking. Set a task and do it.

Go with the flow.

2. Mastermind

Two of my friends and I meet up every now and then to talk about business, ideas, and just random stuff really. It’s fairly flexible and unprofessional, but we still label it as a mastermind.

Although the very concept of a mastermind is focused on getting results in the future I feel there’s also a sense of living in the moment, because we all just sit around a table or outside on the grass and talk. There’s no fancy technology, very little note taking and it’s just pure discussion. And perhaps most importantly: it’s fun.

When we mastermind time flies. Just a couple of days ago we spent 6+ hours just talking about stuff and it was the most enjoyable 6 hours I’ve had in a while.

Find like-minded individuals and bump your heads together (figuratively – don’t get all Pachycephalosaurus on me).

3. Take it slow

Being in a rush doesn’t give you a chance to appreciate the present. I understand the various apparent urgencies you may feel in your life. For some time I was rushing to earn an income online and although a degree of hustle is required for any form of achievement, I find taking things slower and simply being patient more rewarding.

I’ve accepted that my writing career isn’t going to explode overnight and that any side businesses I build aren’t going to be insanely popular at launch. And with that comes a sense of calm. Yes, it may take years to reach goals I’ve set, but years I have, moments I need.

Slow down the speed of life. Urgency is rarely urgency.

4. Find balance

Or “The Middle Way” as it’s known in Buddhism. Anything in excess is dangerous. Practice the art of work-life separation and strive to do everything in moderation.

When you introduce balance into your life you become mindful of what you’re doing, giving you a chance to acknowledge moments for what they are: precious gifts of chronology. Don’t let anything consume your life.

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Balance your life.

5. Be certain

Where are you going? Understand what you want the future to hold and set a plan to accommodate for that. This gives you perhaps the most powerful tool in achievement: certainty.

If you believe in something, are passionate about it and can visualise the end result so clearly that you can taste it, you feel certain that it’s inevitable. You’re no longer wondering if, but when. And this is powerful.

With this certainty you can stop stressing over what may or may not happen in the future because there’s simply no wondering – you’re going to achieve it and that’s final. Achievement simply becomes a matter of doing X to achieve Y.

This may seem like a cold way to approach life, but when the outcome Y is understood, each moment X can be fully appreciated as they aren’t bombarded by self doubt or uncertainty. You can live in the present because your future becomes a predetermined (but still open to spontaneity) mass of wonderment.

Set a direction for your life and enjoy the ride.

6. Unfocus

Productiveness isn’t always beneficial. It’s great to get stuff done, but at times it’s even better to sit back and lose yourself in something that has no tangible result, something that is simply fun.

Personally I love getting fish and chips with a friend and just watching the world go by, or playing some co-op video games if I’m in the mood for fighting hordes of aliens. You don’t need to dominate your life with getting things done.
