1: Make your relationship number one. Every relationship requires work, and you have to be willing to commit the needed time and energy to it. So, the first step is to make improving your relationship a priority this year. If your loved one is truly important to you, they should be a top focus of your time and efforts. 2: Accentuate the positive. It is OK to discuss ways your partner could improve or point out something they do that is bugging you.

A war is defined as a state of armed conflict between two opposing sides, and when it comes to your mind, this war is non-stop. Everyday, a new battle ensues on a new battlefront, but the question is which side of your mind has declared war, and which side is defending itself? If you’re a naturally positive person, then you’ve declared war on any negativity that appears in your mind.

Fearing a Positive Life How could someone fear a positive life? They fear it because they don’t believe it’s genuine. They feel that positive people are self-deluded and unrealistic. The negative person is convinced that a positive mind will operate in denial of the harsh truth about the real world. The opposite is true for the positive person.

Friends from our  childhood  or  adolescence  are special, no matter how much time has elapsed between visits. These compelling connections are the result of shared roots during the formative years. Our childhood friends and teenage sweethearts experienced with us all the wonderful, horrible, boring, and embarrassing moments that helped to make us who we are today. Yet, when children are young,  parents  may regard these relationships as insignificant. If the family must move to a new community and the children's close friends must be left behind, so what? They will make new friends, the parents assure them. But, is a friend as interchangeable as a new toy for an old one, or is there more to  friendship  than that? Why are we so elated to rediscover long lost friends in our adult years if, as some parents believe, they were so dispensable to us as children? Even more belittled by many parents is a teenager's (or preteen's)  love  for a boyfriend or girlfriend. Adu

Meeting someone who suddenly makes you feel alive and loved is very exciting. You may think no one has ever made you feel like this and you can’t help but be amazed at the chemistry, or electricity between you and this new love. Many relationships start this way. But sadly those involved don’t take the time to get to know each other before jumping into something serious. Often these kinds of relationships built on infatuation can die as quickly as they spring up. Wikipedia defines infatuation as:  the state of being completely carried away by unreasoning passion or love; addictive love. Infatuation usually occurs at the beginning of a relationship. It is characterized by urgency, intensity, sexual desire, and or anxiety, in which there is an extreme absorption in another. The truth is, this feeling of urgency and intensity or strong attraction toward another person is not necessarily a reliable indicator of whether you are in love or should immediately dive into a serious d
