Love Feelings

Love is the greatest feeling, Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,Each and every day,

Love is like a smile, Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,That keeps us going strong,

I love you with my heart, My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving, Like a love I cant control,

So remember when your eyes meet mine, I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you, Right from the very start.  


I love so much my heart is sure,

As time goes on I love you more,

Your happy smile,Your loving face

No one will ever take your place 


There is a doubt left with no clarity...(DO U LOVE ME !)

There is a feeling unexpressed...(I love U)

There is a person who can change all this situation...(it's u)


The Greatest Expression Of Love
In Today's Age
Is The Sound 0f The Telephone Message Beeps
From Someone You Love ! 


When love is your greatest weakness,
you will be the strongest person in the world.  


Death is not the greatest loss in life
The greatest loss of life is
when relationship dies among us
while we r alive
So
B strong in your Relations. 


Love is a divine feeling
But when u lost love u r lost
love is the strongest intangible thing
A weapon that makes u strong
and
can hurt more than a bullet

Quotes About Feelings

  1. “Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it
    is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.”  

  2. "Since feeling is first

  3. who pays any attention

  4. to the syntax of things

  5. will never wholly kiss you;
    wholly to be a fool

  6. while Spring is in the world
    my blood approves,

  7. and kisses are a far better fate

  8. than wisdom

  9. lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry

  10. --the best gesture of my brain is less than

  11. your eyelids' flutter which says
    we are for eachother: then

  12. laugh, leaning back in my arms

  13. for life's not a paragraph
    And death i think is no parenthesis”  


  14. “Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment...'dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love -- which is to transform us.' Many people want love to function like a drug, giving them an immediate and sustained high. They want to do nothing, just passively receive the good feeling.”  


  15. “Brigan was saying her name, and he was sending her a feeling. It was courage and strength, and something else too, as if he were standing with her, as if he'd taken her within himself, letting her rest her entire body for a moment on his backbone, her mind in his mind, her heart in the fire of his.
    The fire of Brigan's heart was astounding. Fire understood, and almost could not believe, that the feeling he was sending her was love.”  


  16. “She’s kept her love for him as alive as the summer they first met. In order to do this, she’s turned life away. Sometimes she subsists for days on water and air. Being the only known complex life-form to do this, she should have a species named after her. Once Uncle Julian told me how the sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti said that sometimes just to paint a head you have to give up the whole figure. To paint a leaf, you have to sacrifice the whole landscape. It might seem like you’re limiting yourself at first, but after a while you realize that having a quarter-of-an-inch of something you have a better chance of holding on to a certain feeling of the universe than if you pretended to be doing the whole sky.

    My mother did not choose a leaf or a head. She chose my father. And to hold on to a certain feeling, she sacrificed the world.”  


  17. “Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.”  


  18. “Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery. It is far better to be free, to leave the forts and barricades of fear, to stand erect and face the future with a smile. It is far better to give yourself sometimes to negligence, to drift with wave and tide, with the blind force of the world, to think and dream, to forget the chains and limitations of the breathing life, to forget purpose and object, to lounge in the picture gallery of the brain, to feel once more the clasps and kisses of the past, to bring life's morning back, to see again the forms and faces of the dead, to paint fair pictures for the coming years, to forget all Gods, their promises and threats, to feel within your veins life's joyous stream and hear the martial music, the rhythmic beating of your fearless heart. And then to rouse yourself to do all useful things, to reach with thought and deed the ideal in your brain, to give your fancies wing, that they, like chemist bees, may find art's nectar in the weeds of common things, to look with trained and steady eyes for facts, to find the subtle threads that join the distant with the now, to increase knowledge, to take burdens from the weak, to develop the brain, to defend the right, to make a palace for the soul. This is real religion. This is real worship”

Inspirational stories about


Inspirational stories about courage


Late in the evening I was walking in the park. Suddenly I heard scream coming from behind bushes. I stopped to listen and understood that a woman was being attacked, I heard sounds of fighting and muttering. For several moments I was hesitating, should I get involved?

I panicked, I was frightened for my own safety. Maybe it is better to call the police? Then I realized that a woman‘s voice becomes weaker, so I knew I have to act quickly. Can I run away from this? Finally I decided that I have to help this unknown woman even if I am risking my own life. I felt some strange transformation inside, the moral and physical strength, so I ran behind the bushes. I pulled the attacker off the girl, we felt to the ground and grappled for several minutes. Then the assailant jumped up and ran away.

Breathing hard I slowly came up to the girl, who was cowering behind a tree. It was dark, so I could not see her face clearly. I felt, that she is very frightened, so I talked to her from a distance: „You are safe now, it‘s ok, the man had run away.“ After a few moments I heard her words with a great amazement in her voice: „Dad, is that you?“. And then I realized, that the girl was my youngest daughter.

One day someone had donated a pair of eyes to this girl and after an operation she could see everything. But when her loving boyfriend came to her and asked: „Will you marry me now?“, she just looked at him with disdain, as she could see now that he was blind too. Thus she refuse to marry him. He walked away full of sadness and later wrote a short letter of few words to her:

Junaid Jamshed

Junaid Jamshed  

is a Pakistani recording artist, television personality, fashion designer, occasional actor, and singer-songwriter. After graduating with a degree in engineering from the UET Lahore, Jamshed briefly worked as a civilian contractor and engineer for the PAF before focusing on a musical career. He soon began performing on various local university campuses before being noticed by Rohail Hyatt in 1983. With the help of Hyatt and Nusrat Hussain, Jamshed was inducted into Vital Signs and signed a record deal with record executive and producer Shoaib Mansoor to his PTV Music Studio


Jamshed first gained nationwide prominence and international recognition as Vital Signs' vocalist in 1987 with the album, Vital Signs 1. The album topped the Music Channel Charts around the country.It included the number one single Dil Dil Pakistan, and Tum Mil Gaye. The commercial success of Vital Signs' first album helped develop Pakistan's rock music industry.

In 1994, he released his debut solo album, Junaid of Vital Signs, which also quickly became a national hit, followed by Us Rah Par in 1999 and Dil Ki Baat in 2002. In 2004, Jamshed left both his engineering and music careers and, since then, has focused on Islam and reciting nasheeds. His debut religious album, Jalwa-e-Janan was released in 2005 and was followed by Mehboob-e-Yazdaan in 2006, Badr-ud-Duja in 2008, and Badee-uz-Zaman in 2009. Jamshed also owns a clothing boutique with the name "J." which has several outlets throughout Pakistan.

In November 2014, Jamshed was accused of blasphemy and in December 2014, in a video message, he apologized for offending people and making mistakes. Sindh Police initiated an investigation into the matter.

Early life and education

Junaid Jamshed's father Jamshed Akbar was a Colonel in the Pakistan Air Force while his mother's family comes from Punjab Province.

After graduating from a local boarding high school in Lahore, Jamshed joined the PAF, initially wanting to become a F-16 fighter pilot. His weak eyesight prevented this. He then entered the University of Engineering and Technology in Lahore, where he took mathematics and physics before declaring his major in mechanical engineering. In 1990, Jamshed gained a Bachelor of Science degree, graduating in mechanical engineering.With his father's influence, he was employed by the PAF as a civilian contractor and moved on to a short-lived career in aeronautical engineering in the PAF's science command.

In 1983, Jamshed started performing rock music on Peshawar University and Islamabad University campuses while still a student at UET in Lahore.During this time, Rohail Hyatt was in town searching for a singer for the newly formed band, Vital Signs.Bassist Shahzad Hasan and keyboardist Rohail Hyatt arrived at the campus of Peshawar University to meet Jamshed but were unable to do because of severe winter weather in Peshawar.That night, Jamshed sang "Careless Whisper", a 1984 single by George Michael, on the university campus.They would not meet with Jamshed for a further four years.In 1987, Jamshed joined his engineering university's rock band, Nuts and Bolt as a lead vocalist and performed at Flashman's Hotel in Rawalpindi.

The band's guitarist, Nusrat Hussain, and Rohail Hyatt were also there in search of new talent at the hotel.When Jamshed came to perform on stage, Nusrat tipped Hyatt saying, "that kid's coming back; the guy you liked" and "perhaps we should go and see him." Hussain urged Hyatt to see him and after Jamshed's performance, they did and Jamshed joined their band.

Music career

Vital Signs

Although the band Vital Signs began in early 1986 in Rawalpindi by Keyboardist Rohail Hyatt and bassist Shahzad Hasan (Shahi), it was not until later that Jamshed, then a young engineering student from UET Lahore, joined them as their lead singer.They began performing in different parts of the country after having secured a place in the underground music industry in Islamabad and Lahore. In a live concert in Islamabad, the band got noticed and approached by the music officials of the PTV, and a record deal was awarded by Rana Kanwal, a student of the National Academy of Performing Arts.Kanwal was given an assignment in which she wanted to make a music video and she wanted to make one of a music band. The band moved to Islamabad and began working on the first album for Kanwal, then-known as "Chehra" (lit. Face).According to Hyatt, "the song we created for her was Chehra. It was the first song we wrote as an entity and it was also a part of our first album.During this time, the band caught the attention of record producer and broadcaster Shoaib Mansoor who also taught at the National Academy of Performing Arts. Mansoor became acquainted with the band and worked on the first album, spearheading the writing of a patriotic song.

We looked around and then we thought of Junaid, who was in a mediocre band and he was the best part about the band, he was a very good singer and with his good looks and great vocals, was the bona fide front man

—Shahzad Hassan, Bassist for Vital Signs,

Finally, their first album, Vital Signs 1, was released nationwide and aired on PTV. Their debut hit single, "Dil Dil Pakistan" and "Tum Mil Gaye", released on 14 August 1987, gave them national fame and prominence. Both songs were big commercial hits and garnered high critical acclaim.The songs in the first album were instant Sleeper hit and quickly gained a huge nationwide success which completely shocked the band and in an interview given to PTV, Jamshed quoted saying: it was not something that would turn him into a professional musician.Jamshed maintained that his plans were to gain a degree in engineering to work for the Pakistan Air Force, initially he didn't want to have anything to do with music other than just treat it as a hobby.In 1990, Jamshed graduated with an engineering degree, and worked in the air force as a civil contractor for a short time before resigning from the air force.

However, Rohail and Shahzad soon managed to convince him otherwise.After a string of chart-topping songs and albums, the band split in 1998 and Jamshed began a solo career, achieving increasing commercial success.Their first album contained many hit songs and the band was approached by several international companies to write songs and advertise their products to the public. Their success lifted the underground rock music industry to national level, and they are widely credited for boosting the music industry in the country.In 1991, the band released their second album, Vital Signs 2, produced by the EMI Studios in Pakistan.Although, the second album was not as successful as expected, the band made its first international tour in the United States.

In 1993, the band got together with Shoaib Mansoor once again and released their third album, Aitebar.Around the same time, Jamshed signed his first (and only) acting contract for PTV's television miniseries, Dhundle Raste. In early 1995, the band released its fourth and last album, Hum Tum.By early 1996, various issues and difficulties between the members of the band began to surface in the media. After the release of their last single, Maula, Shahzad Hasan departed to the US after taking up a computer engineering job with IBM.Hyatt formed a recording company; Coke Studio which would later emerge as a successful enterprise.

Solo career

Jamshed released his first solo album, Junaid of Vital Signs in 1994. The album's name was later changed to Tumhara Aur Mera Naam by the record producers. After departing from Vital Signs in 1998, Jamshed released the second solo album, the Us Rah Par (lit. That way.) in 1999. The second solo album, Us Rah Par went on to become one of the best selling albums of 1999.The album included several singles which became popular and were ultimate sleeper hits.All songs were written by Jamshed and the majority of songs such songs as, "Us Rah Par", "Na Tu Ayegi", "Aankhon Ko Aankhon Ney" and "O Sanama", were ultimate success and commercial hits of all the time. In 2000, Jamshed released his third album, The Best of Junaid Jamshed, which contained remixes of some of the hit singles of the Vital Signs era, though it captured the mix success. His fourth and last solo album, Dil Ki Baat, was released in 2001, which became highly successful the country and gained a lot of public and media attention.

In 2003, BBC World Service conducted a poll to choose the most popular songs. Around 7000 songs were selected from all over the world. According to BBC, people from 155 countries/territories voted in the poll. "Dil Dil Pakistan" was ranked third among the top 10 songs.

Drift from music

As early as 1999, the media began speculating about Jamshed's drift from music soon after the Vital Signs faded away.The speculations soon died after Jamshed released his solo albums and continued world tours.After 2001, Jamshed disappeared from the public eye and avoided media attention.His last two albums did not do well in the market and failed to get any positive response from the country's music critics. His former band mates, Shahi and Hyatt, saw him struggling to negotiate the transition from one world to another.He became distant from Hyatt, who continued to work on producing music.He also struggled financially after the Vital Signs, and it was Shoaib Mansoor who came to help him financially after giving him the role in Gulls & Guys television show.

After the 9/11 attacks in the United States, Hyatt and Jamshed's tours in the West struggled a lot regarding questions from Westerners about country's culture, terrorism, and music.Upon returning, Jamshed filed a bankruptcy and made an attempt to resume his career in engineering after applying at various companies.Theories regarding Jamshed began to arise in media, therefore media outlets hired as much as paparazzi to follow Jamshed.It was highly reported that Jamshed has distanced himself from music and has been praying five times a day regularly at the nearby mosque. Finally, Jamshed who had been out of practice from his engineering career since 20 years, announced to open a fashion-designing company with a close friend of his. In 2004, Jamshed officially renounced music after announcing that he had devoted his life to Islam.Jamshed then left engineering and, to supplement his income, he opened the clothing store "J.", selling Khaadis (a form of Kurta-Shalwar).

In 2007, in an interview in Chowk Magazine, Mansoor admitted that he was badly affected when Jamshed turned away from music:

One morning I was going through a newspaper when I saw my friend Junaid Jamshed’s interview in it. After looking at his new attire in the photograph, published with the article, I could not stop myself from reading it. The more I read the sadder I felt. He had announced that he was quitting music after being convinced that it was 'Haram'. It really shook me badly. I have never believed that God could hate the two most beautiful things he has given to mankind—music and painting. I felt that a confused man like Junaid had no right to confuse thousands of his youthful followers. I had given him sixteen years of my life as a true friend and had played my role in his professional life to the best of my abilities. How could he throw away our sixteen years just like that without even consulting me? I feel that it was my duty to rectify the damage he has done to the already suffering society under the influence of fundamentalists.

—Shoaib Mansoor, 2007,

Mansoor directed and also wrote the script of the successful film Khuda Kay Liye.Mansoor said that the film was inspired by Jamshed's life, and offered him a lead role in place of Shaan Shahid. When offered the role, Jamshed maintained that he will "shave his beard" for the film and the role for Jamshed was written by Mansoor. Jamshed later refused to be a part of the film and Mansoor maintained that: "Responses like this one convinced people that Jamshed was not certain about his future, and that the Islamist experience was just a phase.

Nonetheless, Jamshed does sing in some circles, privately, that is.Guitarist, Bilal Maqsood of Strings, held an annual open-mic jam session at his home. At Maqsood's party, one attendee remembered that: "But once he (Junaid) started singing, he just couldn't stop. He was having so much fun singing, he was on a roll.Maqsood maintained that later in the night he dropped his wife Ayesha home and then came back to sing some more. Jamshed was one of the last people to leave that evening.

Influence

In 1986, Jamshed earned a lot of publicity with the Sign's hit rock song, Do Pal Ka. The Signs became popular with Pakistan's media after the success of the patriotic Dil Dil Pakistan. He has been listed by The Muslim 500 as one of the "World's Most Influential Muslims.for his active involvement in charity work, especially with the NGO Muslim Charity since 2003. It stated that "(the) Muslim Charity has achieved a great deal under his leadership and expanded its operations to 16 countries.

Allegations of blasphemy

In 2014, TV anchor Aamir Liaquat claimed during a talk show that Jamshed had committed an act of blasphemy.A First Information Report was registered against him at the Police Station Risala, Karachi, on 2 December 2014 on the directives of a district court, after pressure from several Sunni organizations. According to The Economist, Jamshed "is unable to return to Pakistan after being accused of mocking one of the Prophet’s wives in a throwaway remark about the weakness of women.

Jamshed responded to the allegations on his official Facebook page, where he apologized for making mistakes and offending people.

Inspirational Stories...!


Pickup in the Rain 

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American 
Woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway 
Trying to endure a lashing rain storm.   Her car had 
Broken down and she desperately needed a ride. 
Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. 
A young white man stopped to help her, generally 
Unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's.   The man 
Took her to safety, helped her get assistance and 
Put her into a taxicab. 
She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his 
Address and thanked him.   Seven days went by and a 
Knock came on the man's door.   To his surprise, a 
Giant console color TV was delivered to his home.   
A Special note was attached. 
It read: 
"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway 
The other night. The rain drenched not only my 
Clothes, but also my spirits.   Then you came along . . . 
Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying 
Husband's' bedside just before he passed away . . .   God Bless you 
for helping me and unselfishly serving others." 
Sincerely, 
Mrs. Nat King Cole. 


Two Nickels and Five Pennies . . 

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, 
A 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and 
Sat at a table.   A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. 
"How much is an ice cream sundae?"   he asked. 
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress. 
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and 
Studied the coins in it. 
"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. 
By now more people were waiting for a table and the 
Waitress was growing impatient . . 
"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. 
The little boy again counted his coins. 
"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. 
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on 
The table and walked away The boy finished the ice 
Cream, paid the cashier and left . .   When the waitress 
Came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. 
There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, 
Were two nickels and five pennies . . 
You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had 
To have enough left to leave her a tip. 


Obstacles in Our Path. 

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. 
Then he hid himself and watched to see if 
Anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the 
King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by 
And simply walked around it . .   Many loudly blamed the 
King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did 
Anything about getting the stone out of the way. 
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of 
Vegetables.   Upon approaching the boulder, the 
peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the 
stone to the side of the road. After much pushing 
and straining, he finally succeeded. After the 
peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed 
a purse lying in the road where the boulder had 
been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note 
from the King indicating that the gold was for the 
person who removed the boulder from the roadway.   
The peasant learned what many of us never understand! 
Every obstacle presents an opportunity (to grow, or gain). 


Giving ALL 

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a 
hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who 
was suffering from a rare & serious disease.   Her only 
chance of recovery appeared to be a blood 
transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had 
miraculously survived the same disease and had 
developed the antibodies needed to combat the 
illness.   The doctor explained the situation to her 
little brother, and asked the little boy if he would 
be willing to give his blood to his sister. 
I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a 
deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save 
her."   As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed 
next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing 
the color returning to her cheek.   Then his face 
grew pale and his smile faded. 
He looked up at the doctor and asked with a 
trembling voice, "Will I die right away, or how soon?" 
The boy had misunderstood the doctor; 
he thought he would have to give his sister 
all of his blood in order to save her. 


The Cleaning Lady. 

During my second month of college, our professor 
Gave us a pop quiz.   I was a conscientious student 
And had breezed through the questions until I read 
The last one: 
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" 
Surely this was some kind of joke.   I had seen the 
Cleaning woman several times.   She was tall, 
Dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name? 
I handed in my paper, leaving the last question 
blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if 
the last question would count toward our quiz grade. 
"Absolutely, " said the professor . .   "In your careers, 
You will meet many people.   All are significant . .   They 
Deserve your attention and care, even if all you do 
Is smile and say "hello . . . " 
I've never forgotten that lesson . . I also learned that her 
Name was Dorothy.

Last Wish of a Fireman 
12/3/2004


Those Phoenix people are OK!!! Read on.....Stop telling God how big your storm is. Instead tell your storm how big your GOD is!

In Phoenix, Arizona, a 26-year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of terminal leukemia. Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination. Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible.. The leukemia would see to that. But she still wanted her son's dreams to come true.

She took her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?" "Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up." Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we can make your wish come true."

Later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix.

She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.

Fireman Bob said, "we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him, with a real fire hat - not a toy one, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast."

Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station. He was in heaven. There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls. He rode in the different fire engines, the paramedic's van, and even the fire chief's car. He was also videotaped for the local news program. Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Billy that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible. One night all of his vital signs began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital. Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition.

The chief replied, "We cando better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favor? When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire? It's just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room?"

About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window. Sixteen firefighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room. With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him. With his dying breath, Billy looked up at the fire chief and said, "Chief, am I really a fireman now?"

"Billy, you are, and the Head Chief, Jesus, is holding your hand," the chief said.

With those words, Billy smiled and said, "I know, He's been holding my hand all day, and the angels have been singing . . "

He closed his eyes one last ti
me.

ALL ABOUT LOVE...!

“One of the best guides to how to be self-loving is to give ourselves the love we are often dreaming about receiving from others. There was a time when I felt lousy about my over-forty body, saw myself as too fat, too this, or too that. Yet I fantasized about finding a lover who would give me the gift of being loved as I am. It is silly, isn't it, that I would dream of someone else offering to me the acceptance and affirmation I was withholding from myself. This was a moment when the maxim "You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself" made clear sense. And I add, "Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself.”

“Individuals who want to believe that there is no fulfillment in love, that true love does not exist, cling to these assumptions because this despair is actually easier to face than the reality that love is a real fact of life but is absent from their lives.” 

 “To return to love, to get the love we always wanted but never had, to have the love we want but are not prepared to give, we seek romantic relationships. We believe these relationships, more than any other, will rescue and redeem us. True love does have the power to redeem but only if we are ready for redemption. Love saves us only if we want to be saved.” 

 

“Relationships are treated like Dixie cups. They are the same. They are disposable. If it does not work, drop it, throw it away, get another.
Committed bonds (including marriage) cannot last when this is the prevailing logic. Most of us are unclear about what to do to protect and strengthen caring bonds when our self-centered needs are not being met.”  


“It still took years for me to let go of learned pattern's of behavior that negated my capacity to give and receive love. One pattern that made the practice of love especially difficult was my constantly choosing to be with men who were emotionally wounded, who were not that interested in loving, even though they desired to be loved. I wanted to know love but was afraid to be intimate. By choosing men who were not interested in being loving, I was able to practice giving love but always within an unfufilling context. Naturally, my need to receive love was not met. I got what I was accustomed to getting. Care and affection, usually mingled with a degree of unkindness, neglect, and on some occasions, out right cruelty.”

Don't Fight The Feelings Of Love Lyrics




Don't Fight The Feelings Of Love Lyrics  


"Don't Fight The Feelings Of Love" was written by Schweers, John.

Don'tcha, don'tcha, don'tcha fight the feelings of love
'Cause love is something nobody ever gets enough of
So reach out your hand, take in all the sunshine from above
Well now love is believing so don't fight the feelings
Don't fight the feelings of love

A boy and a girl in a big spinning world
Upside down in love from the start
Sunny days and laughing skies true love in both their eyes
Spending happy good times in the park

Learning all about living, taking and the giving
Love is growing stronger every day
Well now never be another 'cause they're trusting each other
Good love seems to just work out that way

I said now don'tcha, don'tcha, don'tcha fight the feelings of love
'Cause love is something nobody ever gets enough of
So reach out your hand, take in all the sunshine from above
Well now love is believing so don't fight the feelings
Don't fight the feelings of love

Don't fight the feelings, don't fight the feelings
Don't fight the feelings of love

Love, Commitment, Pain, and Sacrifice

Love, Commitment, Pain, and Sacrifice


What is love?

That same question was posed by the musical artist Haddaway in 1993. I’m not sure what his definition is, but to me it is quite simple. Love is what you talk about, what you think about, what you spend your time on, what you spend your money on, what you sacrifice for, what you commit to, and what you do. It is who you are. People can love many things, and they can love more than one thing at a time. You can have love for a member of your family, for friends, and for your spouse. You can have love for objects like cars and shoes. And you can have love for feelings you get- like hitting a PR, winning a race, or even getting high. In life, love will drive what you do. In fitness, great achievement cannot be attained without love.

Training is a lot like marriage. If it isn't based on love, it won't last very long. Look at how many people quit working out in March and April once their New Year’s fitness kick dwindles. Also, look at how many marriages end after five or so years. In both training and marriage, the beginning is usually awesome. You’re making gains all the time (having sex all the time), and you’re trying stuff that is new and fun (going on fun dates and trips). Everything is good. Then all that stuff starts to slow down. The gains don’t come as easily, and you have to work a lot harder for them. (You have to buy flowers and set up candles to get a little loving). This is when most people quit. Why? Because they went into the whole thing with unrealistic expectations. When they realize that there's more work involved than they're willing to do, they give up. However, many people do fight through this time. They rejuvenate their love and passion and realize that the extra work is worth it. Eventually, however, you get to the point where the very act of training (or marriage) starts to drag you down. It gets boring. You start getting injured, and you can’t find the passion you once had. You question it, wondering if it’s time to call it quits and try something else. This is the second point at which people give up. They’re in a rut, and everything they once loved is now just too hard to enjoy. They can either look to their past and draw upon the lessons they have learned, fighting their way back to that deep seeded love that will never be extinguished, or they can finally give up and let the flame die.

All those people in the magazines, on stage, and on the platform—those people who we all admire—haven't gotten to where they are without a commitment level that is founded upon love. And people need to know that commitment isn't measured by weeks, months, or even years. Commitment is measured in decades. Just as a five-year marriage isn't anything spectacular, but a sixty-year marriage is incredible, serious training for a couple years is just the first few steps in a marathon race. If you really love something, you’re willing to commit to it for the long run. Instead, everyone is taught to believe that great physiques and high levels of fitness can be achieved in just thirty minutes a day, three days a week, or by trying a new diet or starting a fun, new, workout class. Commitment is frowned upon.

So let me be the one to dispel these myths and let you know the truth—great physiques, great strengths, and great achievements are built twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, year after year after year after year. It is the love of the process, rather than the love of the idea, that drives the accomplishments. If you love the idea of training more than the act of training, you must come to terms with what you can realistically achieve with that mindset. Training for results only will lead to very few results. Training for the love of training, however, will lead to very great results.

Now, I realize that not everyone involved in training is going to find this deep-seeded passion for training. Not everyone will schedule their work around training instead of training around work. Not everyone will cut off relationships with friends who don’t support that lifestyle. And not everyone will schedule vacation around competitions. So for the folks who don’t fall into that category, there is still hope. There are plenty of things that we do on a regular basis that we don’t love and many times don’t even enjoy. How about paying taxes, or working on Mondays, or cleaning up our pet’s crap? We don’t do them because we love to. We do them because we know it’s what we're supposed to do. And there are other things we do that are enjoyable, but we don’t necessarily “love” doing them.

So you must find a training level that you enjoy and that adds something positive to your life. In the event you decide that you want to “step it up,” you must do the things you don’t enjoy because it’s the right thing to do. Be realistic with what you're trying to achieve, and make sure that you aren’t stepping outside the realm of what you're willing to commit to.

If you have a love for training, stay the path. The path may not always be smooth, but it is always worth it. Otherwise, make training fun and enjoyable. Make it rewarding. Find something you can do the rest of your life. If that something is going for a thirty-minute walk every night, great. If that something is competing in bodybuilding competitions at sixty years old, awesome. Accept the fact that only those who truly love the process are going to be willing to sacrifice for it, hurt for it, and work for it. And only they are going to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Others must accept that health and fitness can still be an enjoyable part of life, even though it can’t lead to the same results as those who are fully committed experience. Whatever path you choose, accept it for what it is and what it isn’t, and learn to love your decision.

FELL MY LOVE

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love


When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love


I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
no doubt in my mind were you belong


I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love


The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet


I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love


To make you feel my love

First Love Feelings...!

Do you ever totally forget your first love? (This excludes of course those who go through a divorce with said person! Then they remain unforgettable in a truly different fashion!)

The reason first love stories are so compelling to read is because there is something so powerful about a young love experience. Is it because it happens when our hearts are still innocent and pure -- before that first inevitable heartbreak? Or is it because once that huge flame dies out, a few warm embers remain to keep the memory aglow?

It's true, too, that we tend to get even more sentimental as we age, especially about memories of long ago. An unfinished love keeps some allure for many years.

Whatever keeps those tender feelings in play, some long to have that feeling again as evidenced by those who go in search of that first love. With social media around now, it is not difficult to do.

Each time I wrote of a love story, my own first love came to mind. Although we did not end up together, we are still in touch as friends. It is the kind of sentimental friendship you would feel for a best friend from way back when. So many shared experiences make for great fun in reminiscing.

The only thing truly unique about my own story is that I found a soul mate so young -- a romanticist like me and a renaissance man, in the middle of a large urban high school in a working class neighborhood.

Here then is my own story.

When I was a teen, I was a romanticist and a dreamer, longing for someone to cherish me. Money was scarce too and I was surrounded by girls whose families spoiled them with everything money could buy in the '60s and early '70s.

When I was in eighth grade, I saw the Franco Zeffirelli movie "Romeo & Juliet" with Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey at least five times -- I paid for it myself! A believer in fairy tales with an irrepressible optimism despite my gloomy circumstances, I knew I was destined for a great and powerful love such as the one I saw on that big screen over and over again. Oh yes, I was a dreamer.

Sometimes dreams come true. I met my prince when I was just 15 years old. In the massive universe of our urban high school, we somehow connected. He was tall (6-foot to my own 5-foot-7) and handsome, funny, smart, and talented. He was shy and old-fashioned in the way he wooed me, beginning with asking me for a date on a postcard where I had to check yes or no in an answer box. He was a grade older and it took a bit of flirting to get his interest. Once I did though, in short order, we fell deeply in love, and in our young hearts and minds we felt we were destined to be written into the great annals of love history like Romeo & Juliet, minus the tragedy.

His white horse was a brand new light blue Pontiac Firebird, and he swooped me off to great adventures on a weekly, and then daily basis in my teenage years. I was with him when I experienced my first of many rock concerts, and saw my first Broadway show. Other firsts for me were experiencing elegant dining, being brought gifts and flowers, and being made to feel like a princess for the first time in my life. We were from different socioeconomic circumstances, and he could afford to spoil me.

Aside from the great fun, the hours of time spent on our mutual love of certain music and slapstick comedy, and the excessive amount of laughter we shared, we nurtured each other's talents and dreams at a very vulnerable and impressionable time in life. In fact, I was the first to passionately believe in his talent and knew he would become something great.

He expressed his feelings in almost daily love letters and the writing was right out of a romance novel. Both of us have become writers and he has become well-respected in Hollywood in his field. We share a mutual pride in each other's talents and accomplishments.

I saved his letters in an old box all these years because I just knew he would be famous some day. See the excerpt from one of his actual letters below:

2014-03-30-HEG30011024x586.jpg

Mostly though, and I apologize to feminists and the like, but please read on for why: I gained self-confidence when I desperately needed some from someone close to my age. It is sad to say I got it from a romantic relationship, but his opinion of my talent, my intelligence, and my future was just the boost I needed having grown up an awkward-looking, nerdy kid who got teased a lot. He was the very first to bring about my understanding of my own value as a person.

With our immaturity, our young love wasn't picture perfect. There was jealousy, anger, and hurt along the way. The relationship became volatile with many intoxicating highs, and conversely, devastating lows. A combination of parental pressures and other life forces and ambitions finally broke us up, but somehow we managed to remain friends all throughout these many years despite living many miles apart. My children know this great guy as an honorary "uncle" who always bestowed wonderful treats on them.

The memories I described here stay with me in the most positive and healthy way, because I truly believe they helped form the person I am today. My mature heart, knowing full well where my love priorities are, never felt the urge to run off with him as an adult. Yet, I feel compelled to tenderly keep him among my most treasured friends.

Real Fact Of Facebook Relations

Sometimes cyclic confusion held between friends. If you are in a true friendship and your affections are pure towards each other friend.

Then you can sort out this type of confusion otherwise you can't understand and it murder your relationship. Only two sincere friends can stand throughout all.
Example.
Once a boy and a girl became friends. First 3 months were wonderful both enjoy it and still remember those days. Within these months they became best friends. Girl share everything to her boyfriend and boy also want to talk to his gf to share experiences. But girl start avoiding him due to afraid of love that, boy may not fall in love. She want to live friends forever. Because she already love someone. Boy understand this situation and ready to live whole life beside her as a best friend. But girl not aware about it and continue avoiding. Girl want to talk and want to live friend of him but live silent. Boy move on crazy, and don't want to lose her. He began afraid that might one day he lose her. Girl also afraid to lose him. He became crazier and crazier. He found himself helpless and hopeless. He often cry to remember his beautiful time with her. He missed a lot her talking style her care for him. But couldn't do anything.
On the other hand girl assume he will never forgive me which I done. After few he will unfriend me. Before he unfriend I have to leave him. When I completely forget about him then I will online and continue new life. Girl left him without unfriend him. Boy assume she left me for forever and she will never come back. Boy started waiting of her.

6 Months later

Girl become and when she saw she still friend of him. She surprised to see nothing was changed within 6 months as I left as I am seeing it now. She dropped in confusion why he don't unfriend me?
She said sorry to him and made promise next time she will not leave him. Boy became happy to see it and want to talk to her. He angerly forced her to talk but girl saw his angerness and afraid to lose him. She assume again after few day he will unfriend me. Now this can't be control by me. Its live better to leave him. She did it same. Boy considered that now she left him forever in darkness of his life.
3 Months later,
she became online and shocked again to see, boy still friend of her. She confused again. cycle lived continue & 2 times this cycle run by 2 months gap in each. Both frustate on each other due to angerness. After all girl sent a message in which she demanded final decision from the boy. What should we have to do. Our friendship should be continue or not. After you I will use it for my fav pics. When boy read this message in hurry he send a message to discontinue friendship. After sending it he started thinking about her last message. Why did she leave decision on me? Why did she not take decision own? Why she will continue using own id after me? Then he related it to previous happenings. He start thinking why she join again and again after leaving me? What did she actually expect before leaving me? All misunderstandindstarted converting into understandings. Whole condition was clear now in his mind he type message again it should be continue. And then he explained whole cyclic confusion to her. He said about himself that he is not leaving her or unfriend her because he was waiting when she will be normal and understand him. When she will not afraid to lose him. After reading the message of boy. Girl excited to chat with boy. Both don't know what will be the chat between them. Both hope, now everything will be fine soon.

Both stay friends in a period of cyclic misunderstanding more than 1.5 years. They are sincere so they solve it. If one of them not live sincere then friendship can never survive in such type of intense conditions. They are really Magi.

Be careful such type of cyclic confusions. Sometimes we never realize and expect what other feel and why he do it which hurt us. Never assume by own self about others it always create misunderstandings that always create distances and can become a reason of breakup.

Best of luck for future and Take care of own and your loved ones
