Love

First of all, I want to say Happy Valentine's day to everyone! Let's share some love to people around you. I don't know why, suddenly I'm in the mood to write something today, in the night of this Valentine's day. And today I'm gonna talk about something different. Since today is the day of love, let's talk about love! :)

It's not just once or twice I got a question like this, "Why did I never see your quotes about love? You often talk about life, problems, motivation, but I can't find your perspective of love."

Well, the answer is very simple. I didn't have much experience in this area. So, I don't want to talk about something I don't really know. You can't inspire something to others when you can't reflect it to yourself. But today I'm gonna talk about it! First, don't expect me to talk like "Love is everything, blah blah blah.." That's too common. That's too cliche. Let me talk from a different perspective since today I'm in my room alone when many couples out there are celebrating their special days. Haha. Not so bad, actually. Some people are just too dramatic.

Okay, about love. One thing I believe about love: it always makes you a better person. If it doesn't make you better, it's not a true love. Love is beautiful. Love is the greatest thing in life. It's just not always in the right case.

I saw some friends of mine who were so depressed because they're single without someone to celebrate Valentine's day with this year. It's really understandable. Everyone wants that someone to share love with on this special day. But the funny thing is, they act like their lives are too miserable. It's like life is frustrating except they have a boyfriend or girlfriend today.

One thing I believe about love: it always makes you a better person. If it doesn't make you better, it's not a true love.

That's my point of view today. Being a single is not always worse than being in a relationship, and being in a relationship is not always better than being a single. The thing is, true love always makes you better, but love is not always true. If you can't love someone in a right way, it's not just "not better". It's worse. Then, what's the point of love?

Some people will say, "Love needs sacrifice. You're selfish if you just want to accept good things in someone, but you don't want to accept the bad ones." That's true. I agree. When you love someone, you can't just expect the person to be like what you want. You always want  a perfect person, but everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. There should be a room for understanding and learning to accept each other. In the end, it can build a better and stronger relationship.

However, I also find many people who let themselves be lost and suffer in love. They use "love needs sacrifice" as an excuse for letting themselves be bullied by love just because they don't want to let go and move on. I don't say that you should easily give up on love, but people need to love in a right way. Too many people sacrifice everything for love. They may not lose their love, but they lose themselves. Then, back to my first question, what's the point of love?

What I'm trying to say is, if you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend but you're never happy in your relationship, why are you stuck in that miserable place? If being a single can make you feel better, why do you still choose to feel worse in a place that's not right for you? Take some time to enjoy yourself. It's worse to lose yourself than to lose someone you love.

What's worse than losing someone you love? Losing yourself just for someone you love.

I'm not against love. Instead, love is the most powerful thing of all. But, there's always a right time and a right person for this. Don't be naive and sacrifice yourself just for love which may not be true to you. When you find the true one, you'll realize and understand how beautiful it is because it can make you feel better when you're with that person than when you're alone.

Love the right person, at the right time, in the right way.

Love Languages

Valentine's day is coming soon, and it's the day of love. I think it's a great idea to share something related to love: Love Languages . Have you heard about it before? It's not my idea. It's Gary Chapman's, but I'm excited to share it with you! I've shared it with people around me all this time, making sure they know about this amazing idea. And the exciting thing about love languages is, it's applicable not only for your life partner, but also for everyone around you, including your parents, friends, coullages, and every single one you know. I once wrote, " Life is always about love, but love is not about him or her all the time. " So don't worry, whatever your status is right now, it can be fun for you too! Let's explore about love! Okay. What's love languages? Basically there are five love languages, and one person has one dominant love language. The fun is in finding out the dominant love language in people you care ab

Change the Perspective

One of people who inspire me the most is Nick Vujicic . I believe many of you know about this man. If you don't, well, he's a man with no arms and no legs. Although he has this disability, he still lives his life to the fullest. He swims. He surfs. He married. He does whatever he wants. Even he inspires many people around the world with great stories about his amazing life. Isn't he really a huge inspiration? I'm sure you know what I'm gonna write here. Many things we can learn from him, like being thankful, enjoying life, creating your happiness, or living the life you want no matter what the circumstance is. But I want to talk about his great life from a little bit different thing. He inspired me in one thing when I read his book. If there's one thing I can learn from him, it's that you can't always change your problems, but you can always change the way you see it . You can't always change your problems, but you can always chang

You are what you eat

You know they say, you are what you eat . I totally agree with this saying. The phrase finder says its meaning is "To be fit and healthy, you need to eat good food ". But I guess it's more powerful than that. I personally assume that the "food" here is more about things we put into ourselves, such as what we see, what we think, or what we feel . Just everything we put into ourselves . So, if this world was a restaurant, everything you can see, think, and feel in this world would be the foods. And the main role here is you! Because you would be the customer in the restaurant who choose the foods you want to eat. Whatever you eat, it will always affect your body (your life). That's why it's really important to choose "what you eat", because it's what really shapes you in the end. If you want your life to be better, you should manage what you eat. You can't just consume whatever you see, because not everything you see is
