Being in a relationship is a wonderful thing, as we were made to be social. Even the most introverted person yearns for a connection, only the intensity and frequency varies. As Margaret Mead said, “Having someone wonder where you are when you don’t come home at night is a very old human need.”

There is, however, the universally known fact that relationships can be a strain at times. Even the best matched couples in the world can go through rough patches.

Perhaps one of the trickiest things to decide on is whether a couple is going through a rough patch or it really is the end of the road for them. [Read more…] about 11 Quotes for Tough Times in Your Relationship

10 Quotes to Give You Courage

Inspiration, Spirit

I am a fearful person. I didn’t realize that till some years ago when I faced what could very well be the most difficult time in my life. My marriage was in shambles, and it seemed to me that everything that I was afraid of was happening. All at once. One after the other.

Courage-NelsonMandela

Before that, I always thought that I was a strong person. During that period, though – and well afterward – I fully understood that I do have a lot of fears; and it was that time that I also started to face those fears. [Read more…] about 10 Quotes to Give You Courage

How to Live Happily with Your Regrets

Personal Growth, Spirit

Regret is such a negative word and is something that no one really wants to face. Yet everyday we commit mistakes, both big and small, that we end up regretting. Some regrets, however, are bigger than others, having the potential to destroy our happiness and that of other people.

If you’ve done some things in the past that you can’t get over with, this post is for you. Know that you CAN still live a happy life even with so much baggage. You don’t have to erase your past, you only need to learn to live with it.

So how can you live happily even if you have regrets?

1. Acknowledge your regrets – A lot of people I know seem to think that admitting to regretting their decisions is akin to admitting failure in life. Instead of acknowledging the fact that they have done some (or many) things in the past that they truly regret now, they instead insist that they are happy now and that it’s all that counts. While it is true that living in the now is important and dwelling on the past is not something you should do, the inability to admit your mistakes and acknowledging the resulting regrets is a sign that you are not honest with yourself and that you haven’t truly learned the lessons you need to to learn from those mistakes. Everyone has done something or acted in a way that they later on regretted. Acknowledging this fact is the first step to being true to yourself and to living a life of happiness and dignity.
