‘Love
is love only when it affects both sides’ (Kiswahili)
Have you ever been in love with someone who doesn't really care about you or love you as much as you do? Really, I must confess
that it hurts, it’s killing, it’s crazy and disheartening to see someone you
love, loving someone else.
Love is not love until it’s mutual. Don’t be
deceived, there is no way you can entice, seduce or force someone to love you.
You can’t buy love, you can only build it. If it is not love, it may only look
like it, it can never be lovely. If you love someone so much and he/she does
not reciprocate your love, it is better for you to step up, take heart and move
on with your life. The longer you keep holding yourself down in a relationship
without love, the greater your chances of getting hurt or misbehaving.
You can’t fake love, you can’t act it and you can’t
even hide it, but you can create it. Love comes naturally. The first step to
creating love, loving someone or being lovely is your ability to love yourself.
If you don’t love yourself, how would other people see reasons to love you? As
from today, take time to love yourself for whom you are (irrespective of your
physical, social and psychological challenges or deformity), if there is
anything you need to change about yourself in other for you to love yourself,
please start working on it now.
After loving yourself, the next step is to love
other people around you genuinely. Don’t condemn people because they think and
look differently; appreciate them for whom they are. Instead of focusing on
people’s weaknesses or shortcoming, try to concentrate on the good qualities
that they possess. In whatever you do today, always remember that ‘love is love when it affects both sides’.
Have a lovely day!

Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.
