Love Is Not Enough

Hello,Dia mi!

I trust that you are having a lovely day. I also hope that you have been spreading love and kindness everywhere. It is a blessing to put a smile on someone's face❤.

I'm going to talk about important factors that make or mar relationships,whether romantic or not.All our life,we've always heard how one day,we'll fall in love and have a happy ever after with that special person.

You've been lied to terribly. It never works this way. I guess this was passed around to shield us from the shocking reality. The shocking reality is that love is never ever enough!.

Sounds unbelievable,right? I understand you,trust me. Have you ever wondered what holds the strong relationships we see around?. Dia mi,a lot of things come in other than love. Here's why some relationships last longer than others do.

Commitment:
This can never be underrated,or is it overrated? What I'm saying is you have to make up your mind to give time to your relationships. You have to consider the person important enough. If you're not committed to someone,this can greatly affect the stability of your relationship. This is why some people cheat in romantic relationships. (I know that's sad)

Trust:
Many people don't rate this guy (or girl😅) but it's very important. Trust should be the foundation of every relationship. You have to trust your partner to be truthful to you. You have to give them that freedom,let them know its a partnership. There's inner peace when you trust your friend or partner or colleague❤. If they betray your trust,it's their loss,not yours.

Support:
Why else do we appreciate the special people in our lives? You guessed right. They support us. They give us emotional,mental and financial support that empower us to maximize our potentials. We feel that we are better people through the support of loved ones. If you've noticed,relationships are strong because the parties constantly work on themselves. They become who they want to be through the dependable people around them.

Communication:
This is the last but definitely not the least(Cliché alert). People in relationships always have to communicate and do it effectively. You can not know what your friend or lover is thinking if you do not ask them. You should also tell them how you feel about situations and decisions. When you communicate,you know what works for the relationship and you can reach a compromise. The point is effective communication leads to greater understanding.

These different ingredients are needed to make the meal of relationship stand out. Love is not enough on its own. It is only enough with other elements. This is the top secret to forming strong relationships,whether it's a friendship or a romantic relationship.

Do you think I missed anything,Dia mi?. Let me know in the comment sections. Don't forget to tune up the energy.

With love,
Peperempe.

  2. Without embellishments, you've conscientiously done justice to the inevitables in any successful relationship. However, I vehemently believe that all these properties( the one you briefly highlighted) are somehow still the parts of the body that make up the body of love.
    Mama, overflowing ink to your pen & more insight. Indeed, the sky is your starting - point.

  3. You did justice to the topic!
    Successful relationships need more than just 'love' to survive.

Are You A Failure? (Pt 2)

It's a beautiful evening, Dia Mi! Everywhere is quiet and I can see the setting sun from far away. Before you say I sound like a poet, I just wish you could view this beauty with me😊. How have you been faring these days? I hope you aren't letting life get you down. I understand life can be quite frustrating, so I decided to have a conversation with you today! I remember poking you in the ribs about all the reasons you fail. However, I'm not going to apologise but I'm going to repeat it with all boldness. You probably contributed to that failed project or lost opportunity. But it's beautiful to know you can always try again, Dia Mi. So, I decided to give you some realistic tips on how to overcome failure. They're simple, straightforward and help you to see the way forward. I'm diving in right away. 1.Face Failure: You failed again, and so what? Who says you can't try again? You definitely can; you only need to be upfront about why you failed. Search deep...

Are You A Failure?

Hello, Dia mi😊! It has been a long week over here and I'm genuinely excited to be having this conversation with you today. Did your week go well? Dia mi, when last did you fail? Do you think you're a failure? Before you answer these questions, I want you to take a deep breath and think about all those past mistakes carefully. I'm not even kidding. How can you appreciate success if you never fail? How can you be relevant if you never fail? If you think this is some motivational speech, you're wrong.  I have thought about it over and over again. Why did I fail at this project? Why did I have bad grades in this course? Why did I give up halfway on that dream? Does this mean I'm a failure? If this sounds like you, those failures didn't happen by chance. It was a result of the actions you took or failed to take as you were aiming for that goal. It could have been any of these: 1. Your Self-discipline: Let's be honest, self discipline is a problem most of us face...

The Perfect Trick You Need

Hello, Dia mi! It has been such an awfully long time since our last conversation. August was a crazy month for me but I'm really sorry I left for a while. Will you accept my apologies🤗? As always, I didn't come empty-handed. I came with some goodness I'm sure you will love. You won't believe how excited I am to tell you what I just discovered. I feel that you'll also be excited to try this out once I reveal it. Credit: Tetiana Shyshkina I recently discovered a productivity trick that allows you to take spurts of energy while working and still achieve maximum results. It gives the chance to text a friend, take a shower and relax without disrupting your productivity. Can a trick be this amazing? Well, the Pomodoro technique has all the sauce, as we say🤭. The Pomodoro technique is a productivity and time management trick developed by Francesco Crillion in the late 1980s. He created this technique in his university days when he used to study in his kitchen with a toma...
