| "LOVE is taking the time to learn the song within the heart of your beloved, and reminding them of their song when they have forgotten the words or tune." - Anonymous |
I am not sure why, but i am feeling the need to talk about the most valuable way to show someone that you love them.
It is something you do, that helps to put a person at ease, builds trust, helps a person feel good about themselves, builds a childs self confidence, and sense of value, gives everyone a sense of being appreciated, loved and special, as well as helps to eliminates fears and insecurities- Just to name a few benefits.
I am not talking about buying gifts, jewels, toys, drinks, books, clothes, cars or money.
Spending money on someone will always be appreciated- but believe it or not - it does not carry any real value.
I am talking about spending TIME with someone.
TIME, Is the most powerful gift you can give to someone- your time. This is huge.
WHY is your time so valuable?
WELL, let's compare the two. First, most things you can buy with money, means it can be lost, damaged or stolen.
On the other hand, when you spend TIME with someone you are creating moments, closeness, communication and a bond with someone. That type of contact has value- because whenever you dedicate time to something you are holding it in high regard and appreciation.
Think about it. If you were in a situation where you were put in a painful situation- you would choose not to stay in that environment very long. why? because we tend to spend time doing things we enjoy. People tend to focus their free time doing things that are enjoyable, fun and a positive experience.
So what better compliment or message could you get when someone enjoys your presence and spending time with you? Simply because in that moment they are making you their priority!
That is why kids who have parents that dedicate spending time with them, have a healthy self esteem because they see the proof that their parents hold them as a priority. Anyone would feel valued and treasured because someone dedicated time to spend with them.
Usually when you are spending time with someone you care about you are creating moments in which you learn about each other and learn to appreciate each other more.
Those moments that inspire laughter, conversation, heartfelt talks, appreciation, love, and all sorts of positive feedback- those are priceless moments that NO ONE can take away from you. they become part of you and are always present.
TIME is more valuable- because it creates the most valuable moments that help us communicate, express views, find joyful moments, vulnerable moments, share perspectives and so much more that help us learn , connect and grow as a person.
We also have to be carefull that who ever we spend time with- that we are going to get a positive experience for both parties involved. Never let anyone disrespect you- or treat you bad. Your time is just as valuable and so it is important to make sure that the time you invest is invested in something that benefits you and everyone involved - in a positive or growth inducing way.
The minute you show someone that you will allow them to disrespect your time- they will continue to take your time in order to invest in negative influences. Remember you have the right to spend your time in the way you see fit. Don't give your time away, unless you or someone can benefit.
Value your time- because it is priceless, adn fleeting. Valuing your time will show people that you deserve respect and appreciation.
Any thoughts??
all the best in love and Positive energy,..
