A Successful Relationship Entails Good Communication

With thousands upon thousands of relationships meeting shipwreck every year, perhaps you are wondering why the casualties are so high, and how they could have been avoided. It would seem that there are a host of issues lurking around every corner trying to hijack relationships. Upon closer evaluation, you would find that all the relationships had a common problem; lack of communication.

This lack of communication is what causes the majority of the problems in the early stages of the relationship, and left alone, can grow much worse as the relationship progresses.

Perhaps you are debating the best way to solve things. Maybe you are thinking of going to a workshop, therapist, counselor, or even doing a relationship question and answer quiz together. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you are both being honest and sharing your feelings with each other.

The reason many people seek help in communicating is because too often, talking becomes a full blown fight with screaming, yelling and name calling. The main thing that a counselor does is acts as referee, not allowing things to get out of control.

You may think that the therapist has done nothing but sit there listening to you two talk, but they may have done more than you realize. They have kept things from turning into a verbal war.

It is likely that the counselor will have words of wisdom and advice for you both. This is very useful in speeding up the healing process that needs to happen. You can be very thankful for the therapist you have if they are able to help you both start communicating. This may very well have just saved your marriage. There is still hope if you are still having disagreements. Don’t stop communicating. This is your only hope.

The difficulties you are having may stem from a number of problems. Arguments about money, sex, infidelity, the list could go on for pages and pages. The key to resolving these conflicts is to talk them through.

If you refuse to communicate with your partner, eventually your problems will seem bigger than what you can deal with and you will feel compelled to terminate the relationship. Keep talking and you can work things out.

How To Persuade Your Ex To Come Back To You

Your girlfriend has just broken up with you for something that you have done. You are single once more. But you still want her back and you will do almost anything to get on her good side to try to win back her affection.

How then do you get your girlfriend to get back with you? She must have had a good reason to finish with you in the first place.

Here are a few tips that you could follow to help you to do this.

1. Forget your ego and apologize for what went wrong. Accepting the blame for the break up shows that you are serious about your relationship.

Even if it is not totally your fault that you split up it can be a very good idea for you to take at least some responsibility for it. Your ego may tell you otherwise but do you really want to lose her because of your inflated ego?

2. The worst thing you can do after a break up is to sit around all day and feel sorry for your self. You need a kick start and have to go out and enjoy your self again even if this is only temporary.

Being dumped by your girlfriend is not the best experience that you will ever have. By being fun to be around you can show her what you are really like and maybe have a chance of reconciliation.

3. There is no use pleading and begging your girlfriend to take you back because this hardly ever works. You must try some female psychology tricks in order to win her back.

Using the art of psychology can sometimes be a powerful weapon in getting your girlfriend to want you back.

Dealing With Your Man’s Bad Hairstyle

Some guys have almost everything that a girl could want – a great body, a nice personality, and a handsome look. Yet some of these guys still have problems in one area – hair. You might love everything about your guy, but if his hair is a turn-off, it can cause big problems.

If you find yourself with a guy like this, you’ll have to tread carefully if you plan on telling him that he needs to change his haircut. Guys can be very sensitive about their hair, and just coming out and saying that a guy’s hair is ugly is sure to put a damper on the relationship. Here are some tactful ways to improve your guy’s hairstyle, no matter what he has on top of his head.

Hair Loss – This is probably the most common hair problem that men face. Thinning hair just isn’t attractive to many women, so men invest millions of dollars every year in treatments such as pills, lotions, and prescription drugs.

If your guy is losing his hair, don’t bother pointing it out to him – it’s a given that he already knows and is self-conscious about it. If his hair loss is an issue for you, there really isn’t much you can do about it. His hair will most likely continue to fall out as he ages, so if it’s a big problem for you, you should consider moving on to a different relationship if you can’t accept it.

Just Got Out of Bed Look: If your man’s hair looks disheveled every time you see him, there are two possibilities: he either doesn’t know any better or he’s doing it on purpose. Some guys can pull off this look, but on most guys trying it will just look unkempt. If your guy can’t make it work, let him know gently that it isn’t working for him.

The Frizz – While guys have shorter hair in general, we still have a lot of the same problems that women do. It’s also harder to convince us that it’s worth spending time and money to fix the messes on our heads.

If you’re dating a metrosexual guy he’s probably aware of the usefulness of hair products; otherwise, you may have to teach him about these products yourself. You can casually mention that a little gel could help straighten out his look, and show him how to choose one specifically designed to tame his frizzy hair.

The Shaved Look – Some guys choose to shave their heads because of their thinning hair, while others just think it looks cool. If your man doesn’t look good with a buzz-cut or a totally shaved head, try suggesting that he should grow it out a little.

The Secret to Happiness is Connection

Why do we live? What are we here for? Day after day we asked these questions of the purpose and meaning of our lives. And most of us constantly look for the answer. How can we achieve happiness? This is yet another question urging us to look for its answer every day. What if the answer to those questions is simple? What if it is all simply about ONE thing? Connection. The secret of happiness is explained thoroughly in the clear and refreshing voice of Masami Sato in this excerpt of her book, ONE.

What are we looking for?

There are a host of things that we do in our lives.

But have we ever thought about why we do what we do? What are we really looking for?

The world now is full of billions of us coming from different races, countries, religions and beliefs all doing different things. We all look different and act quite differently. We have different interest and attitude from others. We communicate differently often using different languages. We have different desire and feelings.

Nevertheless, if there was ONE thing that ALL of us are searching for, what could that be?

While I journeyed all over the world, I asked people a seemingly straightforward question, “What would you like to achieve in your life? What do you really want?”

At first, it looked as if people were in search of different things, as they gave casual answers like “A nice partner”, “Good job”, “My own house”, “A loving family”, “A perfect mate”, “More money”, “Financial Freedom”, “Peace of mind”, or “Meaning of life”. There were other similar answers as well.

I actually noticed that some of these things are temporal desires and some are more permanent desires. Temporal desire means we want it because we do not have it yet or we don’t think we have it yet. On the other hand, permanent desire is not about attaining things we do not have. It is about the ‘feeling’ we seek so this does not end no matter what we get or achieve at each moment of our life.

If one could just remove all earthly desires from our list and look at only permanent desires, it would be obvious that we just want to continue feeling positive sensations like excitement, happiness, inspiration, motivation, munificence, affection, joy etc. – put in other words, we want to continue being happy.

Delightfulness

Delightfulness is a state of emotion that every one us are longing to experience. Every one of us may define it in a different way. We may even evaluate it differently. We may sense it at varied levels of intensity. But without doubt, we have something in general when delightfulness comes to us. And when we understand this secret about delightfulness, we hold the knowledge to become more delighted, and to make others around us too feel the same sensations.

The life that we are living is a mystery. We all may love it in one way or another. We may also disapprove of it in different ways. We may ask questions about it. We may value it immensely. Or we may just have it, in a nonchalant manner. But what exactly is the purpose of our life? What if the very truth of our existence is about to be revealed? What if this truth really brings us happiness and satisfaction when we discover it?

What if the essence of the aim of our lives, and its joys, is as simple as this:

It is all about relationship.

Connection is everything

Everything is about connecting. Everything is part of everything else. If we look at our own life, it says it all. Then we will start to see the real purpose of our life.

Why do we do anything, ANYTHING at all, in life as humans?

It is mainly because we want to bond more and more. We make fiends to feel bonded. We get married for bonding with another person in a firm and lasting manner. We raise a family to feel even more bonded. We go out and meet people to bond well with them, not only for getting advantages out of that bonding, but also to feel more bound to the world.

We buy nice clothes and go to a hairdresser to feel more connected to our sense of aesthetics and to our own physical beauty. We eat a variety of food to feel more connected to our sense of taste and smell. We dine out to feel connected to the people we share the meals with. We buy mobile phones and computers to connect with others and the world. We read newspapers and magazines to stay connected to what is happening and what others are doing and feeling. We study and learn to connect with what others know and value.

Every single thing we do is to satisfy the need for connection. If we’re not connected to our own body, we don’t even have to eat and sleep. Our connection to all our senses tells us to do something to satisfy the demand of the body. We feel pain and discomfort if we ignore the signals of our own body. And beyond our basic needs, we seek a greater sense of connection – connection to our existence – connection to our purpose. And without that connection, it’s empty. Just like the emptiness many of us feel inside when we’re not even connected to ourselves. That simply cannot be the natural way we’re designed to live our lives.

Bonds are powerful, and yet they are fragile and tender

When we cannot feel the intimacy in a relationship, we opt for separation, divorce, quarrels, judgement, and disapproval. It never feels good to lose the intimacy in a relationship. Nevertheless, it is possible to fall in love with someone one day and fall out of love with the same person the next day. The feeling can alter just by a flick of a finger. And the flick might be by your finger or theirs!

When the bonds are not there

When the relationship is not there, we start seeing problems. We start seeing differences and hindrances. We start sitting upon judgement of others and disapproving them. We exaggerate, concentrate upon, and give energy to such things that we see as problems. Under such a scenario, these problems might turn inwards and inflict pain and disapproval on ourselves. We cannot be fully happy when we have no associations with anything.

Bonding: the Secret to Happiness

What if we choose to perceive the entire thing in reverse? When we do that we understand this simple truth: we cannot feel despondent when we are in a strong relationship. It is simply not possible!

Try to feel unhappy when we’re feeling connected to the people around us and laughing and sharing wholeheartedly together. Even when we have so-called ‘problems’ in life, we can still laugh together and feel happy and positive when we are feeling connected. At the same time, it is very difficult to enjoy anything if we’re not feeling connected.

Connection: Our Life

Relationship is the core of everything. That is what life is. Relationship.

Things are just a combination of smaller parts. Things connect together to form a greater whole; the way our bodies are collections of smaller units, cells, organs, molecules and atoms.

Our acts and options also is an expression of the need for a relationship. We are meant to continuously find out ways to relate to each other and to a higher objective.

Relationship and Religion

Some of us choose to be part of different religions to feel more connected. The connection they seek could be to God. It could be to the people with the same belief. When we share the same belief, it creates a stronger sense of bonding within that group of people. More giving happens naturally among people who are feeling connected to each other.

Bonding and Business

Many people begin an enterprise to feel better bonded to themselves by being in control of their fate. But often in the entrepreneurial world, we end up being more and more segregated especially when we start viewing other ventures as contenders, staff as instruments and customers as a money flow. But the basic point of why we got into the venture was to feel the power of that bonding. So, why do we need to fashion that disconnection at all? May be in the perfect world, all business ventures worked differently, but hand in hand.

Relationship and Wars

Some of us even raise arguments or wars to feel some sense of ‘triumph’ or what is a heightened sense of safety and importance. But strangely, this ricochets. The minute we ‘win’ the fight, we are in fact weakening the relationship. We now require more sureness to defend ourselves from being assaulted by others. We thus end up being more unsure and frightened. We cannot take it lightly as it really happens to almost all of us in one form or another.

It could be the disagreements we have with the people around us. It may be the wrong assessment we make when we feel that something or someone is not right. When we make an attempt to be the only one to succeed, we can never succeed in the real way – we feel not connected. We can really enjoy the success when we succeed along with others. Then we will feel the strength of the relationship.

Despite the varied ways in which our needs are expressed, everything we do is to satisfy the yearning we have to feel and have a strong relationship.

The real sense of connection comes only through our heart. We can connect with anybody when we are truly caring for them and feeling connected with them. If we know this, creating the desired state is actually simple, easy and fun. Then we would naturally experience more happiness and joy.

Life is a sport. We feel things and do things in a grand game but in reality the aim of any game is the pleasure we get out of it. It is not about doing something or having something. When the sports finally end, the winners are only the ones who have derived pleasure from the game. Not the ones who had more at the final tally. The upshots and end results of the sports in which we participate do not affect our actual life. But if we lost all our friends to participate in a game just because we wanted to win in that round, would it lead us to a lasting victory?

It is easy to make out this in the background of competing in sports, but we often do not realize it in the sports and games of real life. We forget so fast that life is also a form of sports.

Even if we don’t know when this game actually started and when it would end, we know that it somehow started in the past and it will end someday. When we close the lid of the game box eventually one day, can we simply say, “Wow, it was so much fun. Let’s play again!”

In this game called life, the aim of the game is to ‘connect’. We can keep connecting until we all become one. It is the only way to continuously feel connected to our purpose-sense of happiness and joy. We cannot feel disconnected to anything or deny and judge even one thing if we are to achieve the state of total connection.

Life is as easy as that. There is only ONE secret.

And the secret is to establish a relationship.

To turn into ONE

To find pleasure.
