Lets start with a smile. I would want every one of you who reads this to have a smile in your face.

LOVE, hmm..... well what to say about this feeling. All of us would have sometime or the other experienced this. Or are waiting to fall into one. Strange " fall in love..... " why is it
phrased that way??? Do we fall in love.... .... .... Not sure.

But one thing that comes out from my experience is that True Love surely comes back to you. No matter how much the physical distance that you have or the social barriers that may be there, true love overcomes all this.Its a dedication that comes from your heart, a feeling that transforms the person you love to be the next wonder in this world, selfless dedication to someone without any expectation.Thats what Love is for me.
Its like an energy supliment that helps us to sail through smoothly in this life of ours, which otherwise would be a very bumpy ride. The thought that someone out there is caring for you and come what may you can always get back to this person,.... this very assurance itself lifts your spirits.
Differnet people have differnt perspective to love. For some its very expressive and for others its a private feeling. So the Golden rule to have a sucessfull love life is

Never Compare your love life with that of someone else :- One of the main reasons why we humans are such a complicated lot, is the fact that we tend to compare ourselves with others. How I wish if every one of us would have been in our own nut shell wherein it would never occur to us to compare ourself with someone else, and on the course of this developing hatred and jelousy. We would have been satisfied with what we have and would have lived our life to its fullest, rather than chasing dreams we would have lived our dreams.

Here are ten points which I put as Secrets of a happy Love Life:-

* The First Secret: The power of Love.
Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think. 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 recognize him or her when you meet.

* 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. The secret formula of a happy, lifelong relationship is to always focus on what you can give instead of you can take.

* The Fourth Secret: The power of Friendship.
To find true love you must first find a true friend. 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, let it be free. Even in a loving relationship, people need their 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.

* The Seventh Secret: The power of Communication.
To love someone is to communicate with them. Let the people you love know; that you love and appreciate them. Never be afraid to say, "I love you." Never let an opportunity pass to praise and acknowledge someone. Always leave someone you love with a loving word ... it could be the last time you see them.

* The Eighth Secret: The power of Commitment.
If you want to have love in abundance, you must be committed to it. 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, loving 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. 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.
You cannot love someone completely unless you trust them completely. Act as if your relationship with the person you love will never end. Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Trust yourself, trust others and trust the world. It is the foundation for LOVE.

Lots more to come as and when I keep exploring more and more ;-)
