Thought Ignite - Thoughts-> Feelings-> Actions-> Results

First give into a relationship what you would like to get from it.

Each time I read this phrase, it gives me more reason to look at my relationships.  It carries so much value and yet it is so simple you could read it and still not get its meaning. 

If you would like someone to smile at you then all you have to do is just smile at them. Go on take the initiative. It is a irrefutable command to the other person to smile at you. Not knowing this we refrain from doing so and....get what we asked for.

If you are in a relationship (no matter where you are) and if you would like to grow your relationship with that person, then do this simple exercise, and I promise you, you will feel happy you did.

(1) First visualize from deep inside your heart a sincere relationship with your spouse or friend or who ever. (2) Then pick up the phone (yes NOW) and ask them where they are now, are they busy, and tell them that you called "just like that" because you felt like doing so. Thats it.

Do it once in about 3 - 4 days and when you do so, be sincere about your talk. Use words that are meaningful. And do it irrespective of any indifference you may have between you both. And get ready to be amazed by the result that happens.

Life is so simple. All we need to do is learn to pay our dues in advance. You cannot expect a harvest from the soil without any toil right? Well, I do not know, but that is the way nature works for some reason.
