“True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.”

We all know relationships come with their share of ups and downs. We have all been through these. Some have come out victorious, while some haven’t been able to wrap their head around what exactly went wrong. Somehow, we all think we need to work hard at making a relationship work. We live with the misconception about what true love is. We have been fed this magical fairly tale like feeling when we were kids with all the fairy tales and the tall, dark and handsome or the tall, fair and beautiful cliches! Its the way story books and the media are…but then, we forget they are just stories. Meant to amuse and entertain.When in reality Love is far more beautiful than any fairly tale or any romantic story. Its a selfless feeling. A feeling towards another…irrespective of reciprocation. If we can only remove the dark glasses of what we Think what love should look like and just feel it for once….all the complications would just melt away.Although there are times when people who are madly in love also part…its not the love thats at fault..its the situation or circumstance. Love is not going anywhere. Its right there in your heart…feel it! Each of us is full of immense love irrespective of our situation or circumstance! We just need to feel it enough and share it enough to let all our relationships blossom in its beauty.
The difference between True Love and Infatuation.
We all need to know this in order to know what part of our loving relationships we need to work on….and Are you truly in love or madly infatuated??
You are In Infatuation when:
You see the other person as perfect
You want to get own needs met; selfish
You spend all your time with the other person
You can Quickly “fall” for the other person
All your Other relationships and friendships deteriorate
You are solely Dependant (emotionally) on the other person
You experience Jealousy frequently
Your relationship lasts for a short period of time
Distance strains and often puts an end to the relationship
Temptation is the second name of infatuation and its so easy to fall for temptation. But the question is, do you want a lasting, satisfying relationship? If so, infatuation isn’t the answer. Look at your relationships through the differences above. A relationship cannot be based on infatuation.Perhaps, True and Real Love begins with first finding yourself! Cause only if you’re happy with your self will you be able to embrace the other person just as he/she is. And surprisingly you WILL find true love more easily(naturally). You wont need to rack your brain as to why a certain relationship went wrong.If its meant to be it will be! Without fuss, without hassels, without drama…it WILL happen and you will make your happily ever after….even better than the fairly tales….
You just need to know the difference….
Now its your turn…What do YOU think? Do you have any other definitions of true love that you would like to add to this, or any other differences?
