It’s just five days before 2012 so allow me to suggest an early New Year’s resolution to all of you.
Learn to love CORRECTLY, and WISELY.
If you’ll look for a sweetheart, don’t just go for the looks or the financial capability, or both. Good looks fade with age and stress, money disappears once it’s all spent.
Fall in love only with, among others, someone who’s responsible, honest, caring and God-fearing.
Choose one who knows his or her duties and rightful place in a relationship, and is mature enough to observe and carry these out.
He or she only does what is right and moral, and will always lead and guide you into the righteous path.
Again, as an old song goes, that person must love you for what you are, and not what you have or what he or she wants you to be.
Your choice must also be someone who is visibly caring and concerned to his or her loved ones, and never backs off or disappears in times of trouble or distress.
And once you’re into a relationship, love with all of your heart. But know the limits of everything.
Always keep your self-respect.
Be the first to adjust if you want to but stop, and SPEAK UP, once it’s clear that you’re being exploited and used for his or her ego trip or any other purpose.
No matter how much you love your sweetheart, always stand up to what is right, even if he or she will get mad or disappointed.
You have to accept your sweetheart and his or her bad traits or imperfections, yes.
But some bad traits, like drinking and smoking, can be stopped if the person wants to. So if your lover won’t quit, or even start to quit, despite your pleadings and explanations, it’s useless to continue the affair.
Especially if these bad habits are already doing more harm than good to you as the partner and to the relationship.
As I’ve said before in an earlier blog, follow your heart when you fall in love. But use your head, whenever you have to. 30
