Heart Rays - Giving out light: 10 Ways to Fall in Love with Your Life:
It's that time of the year when they rub it all in your face. Valentine this, valentine that! You feel like your life is the worst there is. "Why am I single?" "Am I that terrible?" "Why am I so lonely?" "When will I fall in love. . .again?" You keep beating yourself up. Oh dear, this post is for you. It's quite a long article, but it's worth it. Although, I already created a podcast on it. I know exactly how you feel because I've been there too.
Fall in Love with Your Life
Falling in love is divine. It awakens the heart to the best part of
life. Each day comes with boundless opportunities for you to to open
your heart and fall madly in love with your life.
There are people, places and things (evuls) that try to steal the joy, hope and love in your life. Don't let them. I find that through the articles I write, the critical piece of advice I give is to be in charge of your emotions. There are bad news here and there, but I choose to be deaf to them. And I decide to hear and share good news only. You can wake up everyday and decide to fall in love with the life you have been given. Yes, you can!
Get excited about everything. Rejoice in all of life little wins. Appreciate the "little" miracles
in your life everyday. Celebrate little victories. Life is fun when
little things excite you. I celebrated my one year work experience some
days back with a bottle of Fayrouz. Lol.
New is fun and interesting. Anything new is an adventure. Be creative.
Go on adventures. Try new food. Buy new clothes. See new places. You
know, seeing new places from Oshodi Heritage Park to Badagry beach over
to the cinemas can create the most amazing discoveries. Go to the South,
the east, the west, the north (*coughs* Nigerians be careful about that sha). Learn new skills. Get new looks. Meet new people. Dare to do something new.
See ehn, life is too short to come and be pretending
pretend to those that don't matter. Express your opinions. Be yourself.
Don't hide who you truly are from anyone. Let them love the beautiful
and the ugly part of you. Accept yourself. Be confident.
If you pretend to be a superstar to 'A', and a jerk to 'B', who would
you be when you meet 'C' who happens to be a friend to 'A' and 'B'? Big question mark there!
A
smile can brighten your face, your day, and your life. When you smile,
it draws people closer to you. It opens your heart to love. Even though my teeth are not as white, I smile. Never ever
step out without a smile. And laugh uncontrollably whenever you have to.
Well, I can permit you not to smile when you're asleep, in the toilet or
arguing with your landlord. Lol.
I'm one of the few people who put dreams before romance. You can fall in
love with someone, and that someone might not love you right back. But
when you fall in love with your dreams. . .my oh my. . . it loves you right back. Your dream
is a life-long romance you will always need to strive for. It can be
that kind of lover that brings you joy every single day of your life.
Ever thought about finding the one of your dreams? Yeah, they come along
when you're on the path of your dreams.
Part of falling in love with your life is loving your skin and eveything
about you. There is no such thing as a "perfect" figure. You are
beautiful just the way you are. If you have a flat stomach, or a pot
belly, love it. If you have a beautiful silky hair, or a
curly-kinky-comb-breaking hair like me, love it. If you have a glowing
fair skin, or a shinning dark skin, love it. Fall in love with you
because you are amazing, incredible and super-awesome.
Respect is a building block for love. Don't let heartbreak control your
attitude towards people. Give them the benefit of a doubt. Respect
people, and get respected. You can't fall in love with your life if you
don't respect, love and care about the people in it. Erm, before
I forget, put away your phone when you're with people. It's annoying
how you would be having a conversation with someone and they're clicking
on their phone (I can be so annoying, I do that too). *press stop button* Let's stop! Enjoy the moment.
These are the best gifts in life - family and friends. Spend valuable time with those who value you and bring out the best in you. Wait,
you've got no friend at the moment. Huh? That's not true. Don't let
your friendship fade. Visit old friends. Love them and fight for them.
Never trade the opportunity to spend time time with your family, and
those who have now become family. To have a family means wealth. I couldn't agree more with the person who said, "Family is everything."
Diaris God o! I have a good reason for not putting this up on #1.
You will agree with me that this is the most important part of life. I
cannot even imagine a day without God. God is Light; in Him, there is no
darkness (I John. 1:15). Let His Light shine through your heart. He is
the One who gives a bright, beautiful and colourful life. Make Him the
centre of your life. And every other thing (including a life partner,
children and money) will fall into place. God is love-personified. When
God is in your life, love already is.
Yes, you can fall in love every day. Dedicate yourself daily to love. It
could be someone to love, something to do or something to hope for.
Fill your day with positive emotions. People who have positive emotions
in their daily lives are happier, healthier and fun.
Open your heart to see the rays of love that lies within you. Let your heart radiate with love. You have a choice to experience love everyday of your life. Don't fail to share the love with others like I just did. *grins* See Feb 14 as an avenue to fall in love with your life over and over again.
You only have this life. So you gotta rock and love ittt! What else can you add to this list?
