Relationship Booster: Open Mindedness

Let’s open our mind just as our eyes are open, for to be closed minded is no difference from physical blindness. Be open to experience, not all circumstances or people are exactly the same, make room for their differences. It’s a personality type required for a healthy relationship.

Relating with a close minded person can sometimes be frustrating. It’s someone who can’t see the other side, who can't think outside the box, who can't embrace a new perspective and too narrow minded. This mindset rob us of the life and fun of our relationship, it limit one's life and that of others.

It is close mindedness for a woman who was heartbroken by a man to conclude every man is unfaithful; even five men are only a few samples out of billion men in the world. Likewise for a woman to be generalized as women, and because your woman lied once should not make you form an unchanging opinion of her that she is a chronic liar, because a liar today can be the most sincere and open tomorrow. 

Be open and new, see situations independently to others. Allow yourself to enjoy the newness of people and situation. Because Monday was not as desired, should not make you conclude the week will end the same. Could you just give yourself a fresh air to see newly, perceive differently, and give yourself the opportunity to see new side of people. More so you are only a man not God not to be able to give a man like you a second and third chance to correct their wrong.

Be open to new ways of life, it’s a beautiful thing to do. You are no standard in any way so don't even try being the measure or yardstick. Be open to each day, to people, to situations even to challenges, because different challenge is a pointer to different lesson and never approach life in a mechanic and rigid way. 

Be open to new experience and don't be a victim of self fulfilling prophecy, where you will be the one setting the stage for the wrong that should not have happen to you or to your relationship. Or what points do anyone you call and conclude unfaithful and a liar want to prove to you again, if your opinion is already formed.

Relationship Block: Practice Confession

Confession is powerful, negative or positive. Meanwhile, Confession should not only be limited to declaration of wrongs, crimes, sins or transgression. You can as well openly confess to the world how much you love your spouse. You can confess to your partner how much you can't do without him/her in it's truest sense. Confess to your children how your world is centered around their mum or dad and how having them is more than a blessing too. Though, your partner may already know some of this confessions, it would be so reassuring for you to boldly declare it and unashamedly say it in the witness of one, two or more people. Other times, your partner doesn't even know, it would be so empowering to clear his/her doubts about your love, shatter his/her ignorance that you do not care and cripple any channel for finding you an alternative. Many times, my husband gives our children very awesome name, we would often call our daughter "Sweet crush" and "Golden star...

Relationship Building Block: Little Gesture

 Little things are significant, especially when done consistently. Little act of kindness, kind words, kind visit, kind call, little gift, little smiles, discreet prayers, and simple text messages has the most lasting impact on relationships than the big gift we never give, and the big vacation we are too busy to plan.  Many wait for big wins, ignoring little wins which are the sweetest, longest, and the quickest way that sum up to big wins. Just as mustard seed looks tiny, yet when mixed with actions of planting, brings the tallest tree. Likewise our small gesture of love and kindness, will yield big results and emotions.  Nothing is too small to give or too little to do. Any small thing done in love and with love turns big in the heart of the significant other. Love is a big word and act, so anything done in the spirit of love multiples and return back with seeds, fruits and trees.  The idea is that big things often takes more time, money and effort for it to happe...
