PAST

(past is a place of learning not place of living) I grieved but a part of me felt a lightening of a burden that I had carried all my life. That I could never be worthy of them that I would always disappoint or fail them.

As an unknown slave in the fields of the baron. I know the worst was over. I had failed them. At least I could not do so again.

Those words tasted bitter but the worst part was that those were living inside me and they were leaking out of me, words where not things you could control not always.

The worst part of getting close to someone is the part when you have to miss them.

Part of the function of memory is to forget the omni- ret elative mind will breakdown and produce at best an idiot savant who can relate a telephone book and at worst a person to whom every grudge and slight is as yesterdays.

FAMILY

The modern world has a different definition of family than has been the norm for thousands of years. However, the basic principle behind a family hasn’t changed - caring. No matter what the type of family unit - single parent family, nuclear family, joint family or step family

- care for each other is the foundation of family.

To further this, in order to keep families strong the relationships amongst the members of the family have to be strong too. Each member of the family is unique and has his or her own personality. The interactions each of them has with other members of the family are unique. Nevertheless, the interactions need to nurture and strengthen the bonds between family members or the family will drift apart.

What makes family relationship strong?

There are quite a few factors that help strengthen family relationships.

Some of the most important ones are:

Love - This is the factor that comes to mind first. Love is what is at the heart of the family. Everyone has the need to love and be loved and the family is where they give and receive that love first. In fact, the family is where we learn to love. Through love we learn about intimacy, privacy, belonging, caring and sharing. However, love doesn’t just come by itself; each family member has to work on it and nurture it.

Loyalty - Some would say that this is a natural offshoot of love. A family that is strong is devoted to each other. When dark times come, the family stands together to face them. They defend each other and stand up for each other when an outsider attacks. Also they cheer each 5 | P a g e Affinities of Life

other on to victories and commiserate with each other in defeats. They believe in each other.

Learning - Since the family is the first social interaction we have, this is where we have our first learning too. Families teach us about behaviour, skills and values. Strong families teach their members how to navigate the outside world but do not allow the outside world to rule them. They become examples to society of how families should be.

Importance of Family Relationships

In order for a family to be strong, the bonds amongst them need to be strong. Relationships are the bonds that keep a family together. If the family has a good relationship with its members, they will have a stronger commitment to each other. Family unity will be important.

Strong family relationships also mean better communication. The members of the family take out the time to talk to each other. The conversation could be about small things or big ones that doesn’t matter.

What matters is that the family members are connected to each other.

They understand one another and listen to what the other person has to say.

The strength of family relationships gives members the impetus to appreciate each other. After love, this may be the most sought after need in a human being. Everyone feels the need to be appreciated; it helps us feel worthwhile and boosts our self-confidence.

Stronger family bonds mean that when a family member appreciates you, it enhances your self-esteem and in turn makes it easier for you to express your appreciation.

Conclusion

In the end, strong relationships amongst family members are essential to keeping a family together. A family without good relationships falls apart very quickly and in doing so traumatises the family members on different levels. Too many family units falling apart and the fabric of society start crumbling. In other words, strong family relationships are the basic glue that holds society together.

FAITH

Faith is having complete trust in someone or something no matter what. It’s not about having hope that something will happen; instead, it’s about knowing that something will happen, because you believe that it will. Faith determines your whole outlook on life. It gives you a reason to live. If you have no faith, you will never have anything to strive for. It is involved with everything in life: from religion to family, to relationships, and even to sports. Faith is the one thing that gives you purpose.

Faith dictates how you view life. With it, faith can make your whole outlook on things positive; but without it, your view will be clouded with negativity. It helps you reach any if you don’t have faith in yourself, you will never reach those goals. Without it, you would have nothing to look forward to, and life would be an interminable bore. It would be pointless to live.

You have to have faith in yourself in order to do good in whatever you are playing. That does not mean that you have to be conceited and full of yourself. When I play baseball I am not vain, but I do have confidence in myself to make plays. I also have faith in my team. I trust them to make plays and do what they have to do in order for us to succeed. I have faith in my coaches that they will teach and instruct us so we get better and learn from our mistakes. Having faith while playing sports can determine whether you win or lose.

Life is full of faith. Everything you do involves this concept of having complete trust in someone or something no matter what. Whether it be with goals, God, family and relationships/

You don’t need to be rich or highly educated to experience it. There is no distinction on the ground of cast creed sect religion etc.

Yet people mistake it by taking it in a very narrow – minded way.

When you try to get a hold on love, that it when it creates issues between people.

Don’t chase love and don’t beg love, focus on how much you have given in place of how much you received. A person with a good heart always succeed in life don’t label it in the form of a relationship or any possession. The moment you start doing this it will start to disappear.

The way you interpret it, it’s the way in which you see its impact 9 | P a g e Affinities of Life

The long to be with parents and grand’s as they can feel the love and warmth by their touch and behavior.

They cry and hesitate when strangers pick them as the quotient is lower or limes not there at all.

Love and affection are often used simultaneously. They are both essential to build long lasting relationships mutual trust honesty and care are the best relationships. These emotions are not only essential for romantic relations but strengthening familial bond.

However love and affection are two different emotions through 10 | P a g e Affinities of Life

they often overlap. While affection can be defined as a liking for another person. Owing in the qualities he/she possesses love is a deeper emotion. Loving a person means accepting them with all their vice and virtues. It involves caring for them and standing by them during their thick and thin.

True love is selfless and pure it does not demand anything in return. However a relationship where the flow of giving and receiving love is equal balance lasts longer and is more satisfying.

So where there is love there is affection and where there is affection there is affection there is room for love to perforate.

Love and affection often coincide and depend and each other.

Both are essential for a loving and fulfilling relationship.

Love is a divine energy. I had a very vague idea about love initially. As I tried to understand more about it, a completely different perspective and thinking develops that explains the true essence of love. I have come to know from spiritual iterative that love is God and God is love.

It appears too abstract in the first instance, but more we find to think of God will make us to love God and all other creations of God.

It is like energy flowing within us derived from ultimate that thinks positive and helps in inner purification.

Love is nothing but inner need and the reason for feeling happiness. Fill the requirement of soul by being in love with other person. The other person to whom you love is only an object to be loved.

It’s our own emotions that creates love for that person. People love someone to whom you love is only an object of love.

This feeling comes out of inner need. This is the reason that when the object of love is same. But still different people react to it in a different manner. A person may become an object of love for someone but similar feeling may be missing in the heart of other 11 | P a g e Affinities of Life

person.

The feeling of love resides in us. Other person becomes only a facilitators to bring out this feeling. Irrespective of how good other person maybe, love will have to originate from you to create that loving emotion. All other things follow thereafter. These emotions come when we feel need of love as against negative emotions of anger and hate.

The advantage of giving love to the other person are essentially to fulfill our inner need and to generate happiness. If we demand love from other person, we may not be able to feel it when our inner condition is filled with negative feeling. Love is an activity of thinking good about others.

Doing all that can be done to make others feel food and acting in a manner that other person feels comfortable.

It is not something to be demanded as it cannot be preserved and we cannot take it or feel it unless we make ourselves capable for it.

Everyone feels impact of love on their life. When you think of good on other person you are in same wavelength as your inner self (soul) which makes you feel light and joyful. Such feeling is love, it is not easy for a person to love someone as it takes to understand and then develop liking of that person.

Media influences understanding of various issues in life including perception of love. Love has different conations in media which is not actual reality. The people in love as shown in media are protected somewhat special. It makes us realize incapable of offering or getting that sort of love. People often adore type of love which is without any argument, fill or sacrifices and tolerance from the other person.

The media glorifies love and shows loving couples who do so many usual things to attract each other’s attention. It affects perception of love.

12 | P a g e Affinities of Life

We imagine women in love as beautiful, sacrificing and never arguing. The media depicts love based in physical attraction. In actual life situations things are different. Love does not mean that there will be any differences and the other person will always remain dumb. It does not mean that a person not very handsome or beautiful will be less attractive and loving in nature.

The attractiveness of a person is depicted from overall personality. That is a combination of physical looks positive attitude and confidence.

The love stones as reflected in media and narrated by other persons do mostly narrate physical aspects of love. It does not emphasize on the emotional closeness as spiritual part of the love which is more subtle and ending.

Our preparation of love is this limited in nature Life is not always about happy and sad situations. It has its own moments of ups and downs. How to adjust in each situation and take it in stride will greatly affect the quality of life and relationship with other people.

The perception of love as being devoid in any problem trouble and pain is this misconception. People feel more and more pain and they are not able to live in relationship with all the problems that we face in unison, sort out our differences and spiritual love for other persons which gives beyond the physical attraction love is made simply of these words.

PURPOSE.

Only a small minority of people have actually figured out their life purpose so don’t feel too bad if you haven’t yet.

Purpose is not your worldly goals, is there anything more purposeful than being filly involved in living and being a decent human being.

Your life purpose and the meaning of life are interconnected you have a primary (inner) purpose that you share with all humanity and 13 | P a g e Affinities of Life

a secondary (out) purpose that is unique to you.

Purpose is a combination of finding and creating. You don’t choose your life purpose (finding) but you do choose what you do with it (creating).

USE YOURSELF AS FUEL FOR PRURPOSE.

Purpose isn’t selfish if your using it to gift to give back.

Purpose is less about what you do, and more about how you do it.

Purpose often comes from your heart and soul versus your head which means its feeling you can’t always out into words.

Whether you realize it or not you are already in your own hero’s journey. Now you can take the next step consciously.

For me, enjoying the simple things in life means finding happiness in things that aren’t expensive or occur around us naturally like the sound of your children, laughing in the back of the ear or the stars above your head on a summer night,

These things can bring us most happiness with very little effort.

Every moment of our lives is filled with this simple pleasure, if we just look for them.

It’s harder and harder to take note of the simple pleasure in life these days with all the technology we have at our figure tips.

Our noses are constantly buried in our mobile devices barely coming up for food or water. How are we to notice something when our focus is constantly pulled in different direction it’s simple really. Be more present and see the world through your own two eyes.

FACING LIFE’S DIFFICLUTES.

Life is very precious gift. Life is filled with happiness and sadness.

Most cannot taste success without tasting failure.

Happiness will not come from outside it will come from within. We should not only accept success but also failure. As we know that failure is the key to success. We should not waste our time by thinking that God. Allah gave us sadness. We should be positive and wait for the time when the sad moments will pass. Just have patience.

DARKSIDE

Is the messier flawed or less pleasant side of who you are? Most of us do our best to hide this side of who we are from others and to some of who we are from ourselves. This part of us often lives deep below the surface of our awareness in the murky waters of our unconscious mind.

20 | P a g e Affinities of Life

Your about to meet my other half this side of me I warned you about.

Time to let the demons out it;s too late to stop me now. Welcome to the dark side.

When I fade off into the darkness that you don’t understand.

I hope you want for me to step back into the light. But if you choose not to, I will thank you. Because if you never understood the dark side of me, you certainly aren’t worthy of how beautiful my light is.

My rigid is only for the ones who never left me alone in the dark.

TO MY DA-DA- DARKSIDE.

Take a step into the havoc, look around, this ain’t even the hatful it, walking the line between panic and losing my mind.

Embracing the madness my devils they whisper in my ear.

Deafening me with my tears I am living in a nightmare there is part of me, cannot hide.

I don’t think I have ever not had a dark side but one of the wonderful reasons why you go into this business is that half you’re live in fantasy. Which is somebody else life it’s actually a great release because you not having to deal with the itty-bitty bits of life.

We all need to look into the dark side of our nature. That’s where the energy is the passion people are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us were been busy denying.

Accept your dark side understanding it will help you to move with the light knowing both sides of our souls help us to move forward in life to understand that perfection doesn’t exist.

The worst part of it, it is you know if life is barking at an owl, the moon or a burglar, that’s one has to fight constantly every minute of the day until one dies is the worst part of oneself.

We all have a dark side most of us go through life avoiding direct confrontation which that aspect of ourselves which I call the shadow 21 | P a g e Affinities of Life

self, there’s a reason why.

It carries a great deal of energy.

Am I supposed to be a man? Am I supposed to say? its okay, I don’t mind, I don’t mind well I mind I mind big time and you know what the worst part is never learned to read.

My battered heart will always be where the oceans meet the sand I will break over and over every day. That is the best and worst part of me.

In the old days the worst part of my depression used to be the astonishment. It caused me the scandalized way in which I fought against it. Now days on the other hand. I accept it cheerfully enough like old familiar friends.

I have decoded that the worst part of loneliness isn’t being alone.

It’s being forgotten.

What sucks the worst is, this world was a gift to us. And we broke it, and part of the deal is that if we want things right, we have to fix it ourselves. But we can’t. We try, but we can’t.

Apart of me genuinely wanted to be the worst because I was so sick of every fighting to be the best.

They were very short, the golden years are when you sit back, hopefully and exchange memories and the worst part is no body to exchange bad memories with.

I hope my worthy is my dying. I hope I can maintain myself. That I wouldn’t become pathetic and needy and the worst part of myself come out in adversity but in not afraid of it. It would be such a silly thing to do. To run the life you by fearing it’s ending.

The worst part is doubt. When you doubt yourself, which we are taught to do, you get lost.
