New Year??

The New Year represents a time of change. A time when you set a few goals to accomplish and maintain throughout the entire year. Now whether or not you follow through with these resolutions or not is entirely up to you. Are you motivated enough to follow through? Did you set reasonable goals? Are you the type of person who sets a goal every year and never even start? Maybe 2011 is finally the year for you!!! Or did you say that last year as well?

No one can motivate you, this has to come from within. If you can't then who can? Any changes needed to be made in your life have to start with YOU. Take today to really think about what you can and want to change. Make sure its reasonable. Once you start it's like an infection, it spreads onto the next thing and the next and so on until everything you ever wanted to change is in process.

Start small and watch it snowball effect in a good way!

What does Love means Love?

Many people don't know what love really is. We use the word daily but never truly know its meaning or its power. Dictionary.com defines the word love as:
-Noun
1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. affectionate concern for the well-being of others:
-Verb
1. to have love or affection for
2. to have a profoundly tender, passionate affection for(another person).

The way the dictionary portrays love, one would need to actually CARE about a person, or have a concern for them before they could love them. Care about a person in whole, their well being, their emotions, etc. So in actuality most of the people who chose to use this word use it incorrectly. Your actions should mirror your words. So if you indeed do love someone you also hold them in your heart, you genuinely are concerned with their well being. You personally would never intentionally inflict harm on them. If you could prevent such you would.
Just think next time before you misuse the word, do you actually care for this person? If you had the opportunity to prevent harm from coming their way would you assist? If you can't honestly without hesitation say yes then you should reevaluate what YOU think love is and take in what the dictionary says. Maybe you should use another word altogether.
