Why Love Fails

Recently, I came in contact with the works of the great humanistic philosopher and psychologist Erich Fromm and Belgian psychotherapist and writer Esther Perel. These two masters gave life to my thoughts. In my daily facebook existence, the most advise I give inbox is on love, relationships and marriage. I think I should be an advise columnist :-D

The main reason why love often fails is our failure to understand and accept the paradoxes of love.

INSPIRATIONAL: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF...

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.

That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.
But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgements and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

INSPIRATIONAL: STAY POSITIVE!

Life is better on many different levels when you consistently live with a positive perspective. In short, it pays to stay positive. It pays to keep yourself in a positive frame of mind, to live your life with an awareness of the positive possibilities that each moment offers. A positive perspective can actually keep you healthier, make you wealthier, lead to a more fulfilling career and improve the quality of all your relationships. Life brings greater fulfillment when it is lived from a positive frame of reference.

Will a positive attitude solve all your problems? No, but staying positive can open your eyes to the valuable opportunities within even the most difficult situations. Will a positive attitude, in and of itself, make you rich and powerful? No, but staying positive will serve as a constant reminder that you can achieve whatever you choose to achieve. Is a positive attitude a way to escape from reality? No, in fact a positive attitude is a very powerful and effective way to successfully deal with reality. Will being positive magically bring into your life all the things you desire? No, but a positive perspective can enable you to see and to follow the very real path from where you are now to where you want to be.
