Is Love really Blind? by Raymond

Love they say is blind but wait a minute, think twice is it true? Or people are just using that phrase to exaggerate their passion for one another. A candle flame hardly diminishes but when it does where do you think the flame has gone to? There is a power far beyond human understanding that controls the product of a chemical reaction in our body called "love", this power controls and directs the candle flame.....so if you can get hold of this power you are in a better position to find love, to speak love and exercise love. Genuine love renders you speechless with no doubt because love speaks for itself, it doesn't need an interpreter. You find it hard to admire someone simply because you think and believe that you are not admirable, and when you see someone that you really fancy your heart rate increases and your blood pressure fickle without any delay just like a fickle lover. If only you can be able to form a mental picture of what other person feels, that means nothing but compatibility.....Go ahead and pour down your peace its nothing but emotions with a good intent right from the bottom of your heart! This emotions is so strong and rejuvenating that it covers all faults and wrong doings, thus the saying 'love is blind'.

What side are you, on the side of angels or beast?

Many times we find ourselves going through life like a piece of paper in the wind; blown in directionless manner. It is important we journey through life with clearly outlined direction. This direction includes your purposes, plans and visions. You are on earth for a purpose, you know! It is important you belong to one side; the side of the beast or that of the angels. The side of the beast includes following life as it comes without aims, plans and purposes. It leads to a filling of disappointment, failure and frustration. But, being on the side of the angels involve developing clearly defined life targets, visions, plans and purposes for life. It gives a filling of fulfillment, satisfaction and long term joy.

Regrettably, many youths today don't know the reason for their existence, they don't have a particular stand. Some don't even know what they want to become in life, neither do they know where the things they are doing or studying will lead them. They do it probably because a friend they dearly cherish is doing it. They approach life in a lackadaisical manner, tossed about in no specific manner. Be yourself! Don't imitate others because what worked for them might not work for you!!  He that is on the side of the angels is hardly moved by peer pressure, life circumstances and challenges because he knows that there is no crown without a cross.

We need to clearly define our direction in life based on our visions and life targets to avoid being blown away by the wind of life and tossed about helplessly in the vicissitudes of life. To do this, we need to set life targets for years ahead. And, the strength of our purposes can determine how effectively we can overcome the vicissitudes of life and become a legend. Another reason why we need to define our purposes and aims is that there are people who are linked to your success and this people will be lured to you through your plans and purposes; and they will help you accomplish it quicker. It will also enable you identify with those who have similar plans and purposes; and help them achieve theirs or form a partnership for the common good of all involved.

I want to charge you to set your life targets today and clearly define where you are going, and what difference you hope to make in life.
