Grow!

You are made up of the books you read; the movies you watch; the people you spend time with; the conversations you engage in. Choose carefully what you feed your mind, as it will fill your life.

Embrace Change

Change the scenery: buy new vases, hang different curtains, visit another café. It really heals. Remove toxic environments from your life, but don't be afraid to meet new people. Learn new languages - just for development! Read unusual genres - instead of novels, try popular science and vice versa. Visit new places, don't be afraid of moving. Do everything you've always wanted to do madly - but were afraid of. And just live and not be afraid of everything in the world. It's not easy, but it's worth a try. At first, you take one step towards the unknown, and after a year you aren't afraid to take 10 steps forward. And all this makes you better!

Women are like apples

Women are like apples. The tastiest ones are on the top of the tree. Many men don't want to climb the tree for tasty apples because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they gather the fallen apples from the ground, which are not as good but more available. Therefore, the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, although in reality, they are wonderful. They just need to wait for the person who is not afraid to climb to the top of the tree.

Understand the Truth

Understand the truth. Those who do not feel love for themselves cannot offer love to others. Those who are unhappy cannot inspire joy in others. It is impossible to offer others what you do not have for yourself. Think! How much time do you think about the good? Exactly – that is how much 'good' you will receive. Thoughts are material.

Want to ruin a relationship? Here's how.

Want to ruin a relationship? Withdraw at any of his touches. Avoiding touches deprives a couple of one of the most powerful means of nonverbal communication. Hugging, kissing, stroking or simply holding hands - these gestures maintain emotional connection and strengthen relationships... Without them, a man might feel unloved. And that's a path to disappointment and even the breakup of relationships. Physical closeness is important not only for maintaining passion. It creates two important feelings: security and belonging.

Resolve Conflicts Maturely

Resolve conflicts maturely. Not everything will always go smoothly. Fights and misunderstandings are even important to adjust to each other. It’s just important to behave maturely in such moments. Understand that when he voices a problem, it means he wants to solve it and find mutual understanding, not to hurt your feelings. Try to be a good listener, forgive and let go of grievances, and don't air dirty laundry in public.

Qualities of a Successful Woman

1. Determination. She has clear goals and strives to achieve them by working diligently and persistently. 2. Confidence. A successful woman believes in her abilities, allowing her to overcome obstacles and take risks. 3. Self-discipline. She controls her actions and is committed to her goals. Distractions won't prevent her from achieving her aims. 4. Emotional intelligence. A successful woman understands her emotions and manages them.

When a Woman Has No Expectations

When you don't have expectations of future relationships from every man you meet, you behave freely and naturally. You don't cling or compare to your ideals. You don't ask with an assessing look: 'Are you my prince?', 'Do you meet my requirements?' or 'Are you serious?' Such a woman sees an interesting person in her interlocutor, not a potential 'other half'. She enjoys the process of communication, without thinking about the end result, with a complete absence of the ulterior motive 'what will happen next'.

You have the right to leave

You have the right to leave any situation where you don't see yourself. You have the right to leave any life story where you don't like yourself. You have the right to leave a city that stifles your light and doesn't allow you to shine brighter. You have the right to pack your bags and start over somewhere else. You have the right to change your life. You have the right to leave a job you hate, even if the whole world tells you not to. You have the right to seek what motivates you to get out of bed every day for the rest of your life.

You Have the Right to Leave

You have the right to leave someone you love but who treats you badly. You have the right to put yourself first and leave if you keep trying over and over but nothing changes. You have the right to leave bad friends, you have the right to surround yourself with love, people who support you and help you. You have the right to take the energy you need in life. You have the right to forgive yourself for big and small mistakes, you have the right to be kind to yourself, look in the mirror and like what you see. You have the right to free yourself from your own expectations. Sometimes we think leaving is bad, as if it means giving up and throwing in the towel. But sometimes, leaving is the best thing you can do for yourself.

Helping Others Helps Yourself

By helping others, you help yourself. When a person donates something, whether it is money, time, or effort, they free themselves from attachment to material things. By giving, a person symbolically opens up space for new, pure energy. Charitable acts enhance positive vibrations such as compassion, kindness, and love. These high vibrations displace negative ones, like anger, envy, or bitterness, promoting the harmonization of the inner state and improving the energy field. In spiritual traditions, charity is often seen as a means to improve karma. By helping others, a person creates a positive karmic connection that contributes to the cleansing of negative karmic debts accumulated in the past.

Importance of Seeing Your Partner as a Living Person

It is important to see your partner as a living person. The person you love is not a fictional image. Therefore, it is very important to learn to separate your loved one from the imagined image and your expectations. Accept him with flaws and peculiarities. But also with virtues! Accepting does not mean enduring. It means seeing that he's a living person, not perfect. Don’t try to change, save, or expect the impossible. Also, respect his thoughts, feelings, choices, and decisions.

Cherish Life

Cherish life, take care of your loved ones, do something good for the world every day, and give a bit of warmth to the people around you. Understand that each day is unique and unrepeatable, and it is up to you what tomorrow will be like. By nurturing a small sprout of kindness in your soul today, you will soon reap the fruits of harmony and happiness.

A Remarkable Woman

A remarkable woman... she is soft and self-sufficient. She is wise and tender. She is passionate and desirable, a cocktail of innocence and recklessness, emotions and tenderness. The right words and the right touches. A combination of aloofness and fire. Distance and a desire for closeness. Such a woman never bores. It's not just the appearance. It's character, temperament, intellect, and aspirations. Such a woman allows no sadness, no regrets, and never lets one forget the level she is on, already stepping, waiting for her person, or already following or keeping pace. Such women are desired. Such women are remembered. Such women are captivating. Such women are life.

Feelings and Perceptions Matter

Our feelings and perceptions are important, but that doesn't mean they are the immutable truth. When we struggle with our insecurity and miss an interesting opportunity because we feel we are not capable enough, that is not a fact. On any other day, we might think completely differently about ourselves. Emotions are temporary, changeable states. A fact, however, is always unchanging.

Remember to Be Grateful

Thankfulness! It's always nice to feel significant and valuable to another person. Don't forget to thank your partner for everything they do for you: it's important for them to know that their efforts are not in vain. Remember that relationships are hard work, not a given. You need to constantly work on them, learn to yield, forgive, and compromise.

Love...

Love... It isn't divided into "mine", "yours", "don't interfere", "don't touch"... Love is when one life is shared by two. It's when one has a fever, and both stay home on a Saturday evening. It's when one gets promoted, but both have strived for it, and both share the victory. It's when one grieves and both feel the pain. If it doesn't happen this way, there probably isn't love... in one person, while the other tries to love for two...

Childhood grievances are the strongest

Childhood grievances are the strongest and are remembered longer than others, because children take offense with their hearts, while adults with their minds. The mind can overcome a grievance, the heart cannot; it retains scars that cannot be smoothed out like wrinkles in fabric. Coco Chanel.

No Understanding in the Relationship

It's horrible when there is no understanding in a relationship. You live as if you are not in your own skin. You want to prove your point, your views, but you're not heard, not understood, others talk about something else or, worse, ignore you. The solution is simple: you just need to sit down and listen to the one who is dear to you, the one with whom you want to continue the relationship. Don't insist on your 'truth', just listen. There's no better advice, either move towards each other or put a full stop and go in different directions.

People's Fatigue with Themselves

Most often, people get tired of themselves. Of their own experiences, fears, speculations, and worries. From feelings of guilt and attempts to control everything. From the inability to, at least for some time, not rush forward (modeling situations) and not look back (searching for analogs and clichés). Stop comparing, stop scaring yourself, don't build illusions, don't make assumptions for others, stop dialogues in your own head...
