QUOTE OF THE DAY: LOVE BUILT ON BEAUTY SOON FADES AWAY..

 

Love Quote of the day is credited to John Donne (January 22, 1572 - March 31, 1631)

QUOTE:

"Love built on beauty, soon as beauty dies"

MORAL:

What is love and what is beauty? These two words usually go hand in hand by some people but the truth is that love is more than beauty, it is having deep affection and likeness for something or someone due to certain qualities they possess that are very appealing to the lover. Some of these qualities may include; being kind, trustworthy,  truthful and other good qualities as well as beauty.

 Beauty leads to having affection on the person admired but the difference between love and beauty is that true love stands the test of time whereas beauty does not. Love sees from within, that is from the heart while beauty sees from without. In a relationship, love lasts more than beauty as beauty tends to fade away when old age sets in but love does not.

Never use beauty as the only criteria for loving someone because most of the time when the wrinkle on the face starts showing up, you tend to dislike the person you claim you truly loved. There are several ways you can build a relationship that will last and never die when beauty dies. Theses qualities are priceless and they are my opinion of what love should be like.

1. Knowing the Truth: Love should be built on truth, that is based on the written word of God. This type of love never fails no matter the trial or circumstance in any relationship. Having the true word of God as the foundation of your relationship has tremendous effect in any relationship. The Bible contains the written word of God and can serve as a guide in building relationships.

2. Forgiveness: Do not be a tight nut too difficult to crack when things go wrong. Learn to forgive and let go for peace to rain in your relationship. Unforgiving heart not only takes away your happiness but leaves you completely in the past with no progress in your relationship and  in life. This will lead to a break in relationship faster than you can ever imagine. So it is best to learn how to forgive and let go.

3. Apologize: Nothing is more annoying than doing something wrong to your spouse and failing to apologize. Put yourself in the same shoes as your spouse, how would you feel if he or she does something wrong to you and fails to apologize and I believe you will have no excuse for not apologizing.  

4. Giving: For you to love, you must give and no better gift you can give to someone than yourself. You are the best gift you can ever give to someone, not necessarily the material things like money; although material things counts but the best you can give is yourself and your time to the ones you love.

In conclusion, love makes the world go round and brings blessings upon those that truly love not just because of beauty but because it truly comes from the heart.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: EVERY MAN IS A PIECE OF THE CONTINENT..

 

Quote of the day is credited to John Donne (January 22, 1572 - March 31, 1631). He was an English poet and a cleric in the Church of England.

QUOTE:

QUOTE OF THE DAY: SUCCESS SCREAMS LIKE A RIVER SEEKING A OUTLET..

 

The quote am about to share with you is one of my Favourite Quotes.

QUOTE:

"Success screams like a river seeking a outlet; you either grab hold of a bucket or a drum in order to fetch its wonderfulness"

MORAL:

Success beckons and cries all day, months and possibly years, seeking for who will focus his or her attention on it. A lot of persons do not focus their attention on being successful, they rather focus it on several other things instead of one particular thing at a time. One major ingredient for success is 'Focus'; the more you put your attention on a particular thing or action, the better your chances for success.

People are limited only by their thoughts and imagination as some would prefer to use only a bucket to fetch from the stream of opportunities while others who I believe are wiser would prefer to use a bigger drum. In essence, it is better to make good use of any opportunity you have right now because no matter how little it may be as 1+1=2, that opportunity will lead you to more better opportunities and success you deserve in every area of your life.

As the bride gets attracted to the groom, so also the groom gets attracted to the bride; Success only gets attracted to those that are attracted to it, so make it an habit to consider success as a best friend and you can be sure of having a very close and wonderful companion than you can ever imagine; you will be successful at whatever you do.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: SUCCESS IS LIMITED ONLY BY IMAGINATION..

Quote of the day is all about success.

QUOTE:

"The limit to your success is only by imagination".

MORAL:

Imagination is an act of visualization which is all about painting a picture of whatever you desire in your mind. The world is like a 'tiny little globe', fashioned and placed in the heart of man. In other words, you have the whole world right inside of you and whatever you are looking for can be gotten from that same address; your inside. 

The success you desire is only limited by your imagination. To succeed, you must first see it in your mind's eyes before seeing it in real life. The most successful people in the world are great visionaries who have developed the ability to see things with their minds before realizing what they dreamed physically. They are able to see possibilities when others see the impossible, they have great faith in themselves, vision and goals, no wonder they perform better than anyone else.

In conclusion, learn to dream big and paint a bigger picture of what you want and surely it will come to you. I would like to leave with you an amazing quote by William Arthur Ward; 'If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it'.
