Richard Bach famously said that “real love stories never have endings.” It’s taken me a while to truly grasp this profound insight. Real love is not the initial highs you feel at the beginning of a relationship, the fluttering butterflies of deep sexual attraction, or the fun activities you share together. These are fleeting moments…

Have you ever noticed those around you who seem to have a dullness in their eyes, lacking joy and spontaneity? They live rigidly, with every moment planned and timed, unable to simply be in the present. Often, these individuals appear successful, efficient, and even pillars of society. Yet beneath this facade lies deep unhappiness, stress,…

Relationships can be a double-edged sword. They have the power to bring immense joy, yet they can also trigger deep-seated fears and insecurities. Many of us find ourselves caught in a cycle of emotional triggers, where our partner’s actions can stir feelings of abandonment, rejection, and being unwanted. Understanding and addressing these triggers is crucial…

Never run away from the bad feelings. When fears come up and you’re afraid of the darkness within yourself, the first thing you need to do is calm down and take deep breaths. Love yourself at this very moment and remind yourself that it is okay to be upset, triggered, or angry. Give yourself the…

Many of us grow up feeling unworthy of the good things life offers. Whether it’s a loving relationship, a dream job, or simply treating ourselves kindly, this pervasive sense of unworthiness can hold us back. This deep-seated belief often originates in childhood, where caregivers might have inadvertently instilled the notion that we don’t deserve love…

The most important question we need to ask ourselves is: do we want to live our lives being loving, or do we want to live them being controlling? This choice fundamentally shapes our experiences and relationships. Choosing love means embracing freedom, uncertainty, and trust. It’s an open-hearted approach that invites connection and growth. Love acknowledges…

Our mother s are our first love. The relationship we had with her forms the cornerstone of every relationship we develop later in life. How we show up in relationships and how we love others has deep roots in the way our mothers reflected love to us. We feel safe growing up if our mothers…

Deep within each of us lies a profound desire to bond with another through giving love and receive it. However, the success of our relationships is often influenced by our attachment styles: avoidant, anxious, or secure. Today, let’s focus on the avoidant attachment style, which can be a significant barrier to forming deep, meaningful connections.…

It’s a well-known fact that the three things we crave most in life—happiness, peace, and love—are already within us, waiting to be realized and activated. No one has power over us, and nothing external can provide us with these feelings. Only we can cultivate them within ourselves. Achieving this state requires hard work and taking…

I spent most of my parenting life pleasing my son. My only goal was to make him happy. Unfortunately, I’m finding out to my detriment that over-pleasing a child can blow up in your face at times. I often discounted my feelings of tiredness, financial constraints, and better judgment and I lacked boundaries . My…

In a world overflowing with expectations and judgments, being yourself can feel like a radical act. Many people spend their lives as mere caricatures of their true selves, often because they don’t know who they are or they’re afraid to show it. On a daily basis, most of us run from our true selves, constantly…

Letting go and surrendering to a higher power has been a significant struggle for me over the years. Although I’ve always been aware of a higher power and believed that He is in control, I never experienced this loving God during my childhood, despite having pious parents. Growing up in environments filled with pain, abuse,…

Happiness begins with your mindset. It starts with feeling good about yourself and maintaining positive thoughts about yourself and others. Many highly intelligent people struggle with this; they often operate from wounded egos, unable to think “right.” This negativity, rooted in past experiences, affects us in two profound ways: 1. Negative Self-Perception: Some people are…

In our quest for personal growth and emotional well-being, we often encounter individuals who challenge our peace and test our patience. It’s common to label such individuals as “toxic,” but this perspective can be limiting and harmful. Instead, we should recognize that toxic people do not exist; rather, broken people do. This shift in understanding…

Growing up in an environment where our worth is constantly undermined can leave lasting scars. If our fathers and mothers told us we were hopeless or not good enough, or if love and affirmation were scarce, these negative messages often solidify into self-defeating belief systems. As adults, many of us carry these damaging beliefs, which…

Just as we are mindful about what we feed our bodies, it is equally important to be cautious about what we feed our minds.
