Forgiveness

What does it really mean to forgive? Many times, we get to anger other people, either through our words or actions. People sometimes talk without thinking, blurting out the first thing that pops up in their head. Sometimes these words could have a negative effect on us. It could stir up feelings of anger that almost always makes one lash out at anything coming his way. Let’s see an example. Three friends were discussing about themselves in public, talking about the funny things they did when they were young. One used a degrading term to qualify one of the friends in a joke, obviously without thinking of the state of mind of that friend. They all laughed at the resultant joke, but while the friend was returning home, he started thinking about what was said about him. Gradually, he began developing anger towards the friend for talking about him that way. What was the result? He lashed out. Yes, at another driver. The road wasn’t big enough for overtaking. While he was thinking, and cr

Communication: What to know

In his book ‘How to Communicate’, Gordon wells highlighted a major rule for communicating. He used the KISS rule. The Keep It Short and Simple (KISS) rule involves using short sentences, one statement per sentence. It involves using no unnecessary words, keeping it as simple as possible. Why is this important? To communicate is to express ones thoughts and feelings so that the other party can understand. Applying the KISS rule can help achieve this feat. Keeping sentences as simple as possible can help in letting the other party understand the point being made. Keeping your conversation simple helps build a healthy conversation. Lets highlight and discuss the major forms of communication. 1. Verbal communication :- This form of communication involves passing out information orally. It’s all about talking. This is the first and major way people communicate today. Verbal communication can help the one listening discern the feeling of the person talking. Discerning this is easy.

Navigate through the second stage of your relationship

If you joined us yesterday, you would have read about one way to help go through the second stage in your relationship. We discussed UNSELFISHNESS. We recall, being unselfish, we need to put the other person’s interest ahead of ours. So what are ways in which we can be unselfish? 1. Buying things :- when buying things, do you consider your partner? Many times, when we buy things, we look at it that we are buying things for ourselves since we’re not married yet. How we act when we deal with things to be bought transcends to how we treat our partner in our relationship. To buy things, we need money. Trying to acquire more things to satisfy ourselves can be obsessive. This obsession can affect the way we treat others. It can make us place more focus on acquiring things than keeping people. 2. Using things :- Attention doesn’t die. Its more or less like energy. It gets transferred to another thing. During the first stage of a relationship, the sole attention is given to the partner.

What are the factors to consider when trying to make your relationship successful ? Many relationships crumble in the second stage of inception. Why do I call it the second stage? So often than not, it happens that a girl likes a guy, probably because of his looks or character or charisma. It could be anything. Based on reviews, everyone is beautiful to at least one person. For us to understand this second stage, we need to look at what the first stage is. This guy, coincidentally now develops a liking for this girl also. He then makes the step to ask her out unknown to him that this girl had a liking for him. Sometimes the guy knows beforehand and many guys love it when the girl or lady likes them first. When this girl or lady accepts the invite from the guy, gradually the feelings start to merge. The guy always wants her around, she likewise. There is a magnetic pull between the two. When they’re together, they want to be in their arms. This bonding (A resultant of this magnetic
