THE TEN SECRETS
THE FIRST SECRET
The Power of Thought.
Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think about. Loving thoughts create
loving experiences and loving relationships. Affirmations can change our beliefs and
thoughts about ourselves and others. If we want to love someone, we need to consider their
needs and desires. Thinking about your ideal partner will help you recognize him or her
when you meet him or her.
THE SECOND SECRET
The Power of Respect.
You cannot love anyone or anything unless you first respect them. The first person you
need to respect is yourself. To begin to gain self-respect ask yourself: "What do I
respect about myself?" To gain respect for others, even those you may dislike, ask
yourself: "What do I respect about them?"
THE THIRD SECRET
The Power of Giving.
If you want to receive love, all you have to do is give it! The more love you give, the
more you will receive. To love is to give of yourself, freely and unconditionally.
Practice random acts of kindness. Before committing to a relationship ask not what the
other person will be able to give to you, but rather what will you be able to give them.
The secret formula of a happy, lifelong, loving relationship is to always focus on what
you can give instead of what you can take.
THE FOURTH SECRET
The Power of Friendship.
To find a true love, you must first find a true friend. Love does not consist of gazing
into each other's eyes, but rather looking outward together in the same direction. To love
someone completely you must love them for who they are, not what they look like.
Friendship is the soil through which love's seeds grow. If you want to bring love into a
relationship, you must first bring friendship.
THE FIFTH SECRET
The Power of Touch.
Touch is one of the most powerful expressions of love, breaking down barriers and bonding
relationships. Touch changes our physical and emotional states and makes us more receptive
to love.
THE SIXTH SECRET
The Power of Letting Go.
"If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you it's yours,if it doesn't
it never was." Even in a loving relationship, people need their own space. If we want
to learn to love, we must first learn to forgive and let go of past hurts, and grievances.
Love means letting go of our fears, prejudices, egos and conditions. "Today I let go
of all my fears, the past has no power over me-today is the beginning of a new life."
THE SEVENTH SECRET
The Power of Communication.
When we learn to communicate openly and honestly, life changes. To love someone is to
communicate with them. Let the people you love know that you love them and appreciate
them. Never be afraid to say those three magic words: "I Love You." Never let an
opportunity pass to praise someone. Always leave someone you love with a loving word - it
could be the last time you see them. If you were about to die but could make telephone
calls to the people you loved, who would you call, what would you say and. .. why are you
waiting?
THE EIGHTH SECRET
The Power of Commitment.
If you want to have love in abundance, you must be committed to it, and that commitment
will be reflected in your thoughts and actions. Commitment is the true test of love. If
you want to have loving relationships, you must be committed to loving relationships. When
you are committed to someone or something, quitting is never an option. Commitment
distinguishes a fragile relationship from a strong one.
THE NINTH SECRET
The Power of Passion.
Passion ignites love and keeps it alive. Lasting passion does not come through physical
attraction alone, it comes from deep commitment, enthusiasm, interest and excitement.
Passion can be recreated by recreating past experiences when you felt passionate.
Spontaneity and surprises produce passion. The essence of love and happiness are the same;
all we need to do is to live each day with passion.
THE TENTH SECRET
The Power of Trust.
Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Without it one person becomes suspicious,
anxious and fearful and the other person feels trapped and emotionally suffocated. You
cannot love someone completely unless you trust them completely. Act as if your
relationship with the person you love will never end. One of the ways you can tell whether
a person is right for you is to ask yourself: "Do I trust them completely
unreservedly?" If the answer is "no", then you must think very carefully
before you make any type of a commitment.
