Relationship Booster : Look Beyond Yourself


It's only natural to look after oneself first,  but one can build a nurture that look beyond self and look towards others. There is no one you genuinely put first, that won't put you first. Even God is not an exception of this rule. When He said "Seek first His Kingdom, and everything other thing He would add to you.


The key to abundance, overflow, and lacking nothing is to put others first. When you have a pressing need, still consider its cost for others. When you are asked to go a mile, you can go twain. 


Every act of service would not go unrewarded, maybe not directly from the expected, but it sure would be. The law of seed and harvest time is as certain as the law of morning and night.


Have you even being asked a question or a favour and you answered or acted in favour of the other person. And with delight, the person reward you more greatly than he would, if you had being self conscious all the way ?


If you are alone in the house, there is a way you would behave, that you would never attempt to, when you are in the house with another person. It's because then, you have the consciousness of another being around. 


In like manner, if we can be conscious of others in any kind of relationship we have, we would behave differently and better than when we just think of oneself.


In looking after the interest of others, one's interest would be met. Don't care too much about yourself, that you  care less about others. You need others as well as others need you.


The key to finding fulfilment, is to look in the direction of others. Billionaires are those who look for other's needs and meet them, and are then rewarded for it. The limiting thoughts of the poor is that they always look in self direction and still lack everything.


The fastest route to self satisfaction and fruitful relationships is to look after others. Looking towards others might appear as though you are looking away from yourself, but it's an alternative and indirect way to look after yourself.


One way to love yourself is to love others, because many others you have loved, would love you in return. Which would make you being loved, more than when you only love yourself and no one to love you back.

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...
