Day 5 - How to Find Your One True Love
With this step, it tells us to have a strong conviction with whatever we want. It's the only way to get it.
Where there is no clarity of purpose, no great thing will be achieved. I've long learned that's God's universe simply responds to what we want --- clearly, repeatedly,passionately.
See? A lot of what I'm reading are pointing to this fact -- that whatever our minds conceive, we achieve. Seriously, I hope people will use this great,great gift. Pardon to the non-believers. Let us believe what we want to believe, and you behave the way you ought to be. (haha, bad,bad girl).
There you go. You need to be clear with what you want. If you want to get married, then make sure that every piece of you declares what you want. Sometimes, what people want are different from what they subconscously think and feel. And with that, there is no clarity of purpose. That means, that whatever things are stopping you from getting that relationship that you want, either moral and past baggages, guilts, sadness, traumas and the like. Shun them all and let only the positivism of your desire fill your whole being. See for yourself what your mind can actually bring to your life.
Reminder: He guides us. Be guided :)
Day 4 - How to find your One True Love
We think that God's will is found out there, somewhere in the stars. That's not true. God's will is found within. Ultimately, God's will is your deepest desire.
STEP # 1: Take Responsibility for finding your One True Love
This one has a quite lengthy explanation (though I wouldn't dare explain everything here. What's the book for? haha). In here, he just tells us that we are the ones who look for love. God gave us the mind to decipher things, one of his wondrous gifts to us. Why leave your love decisions to signs from God or wait for magical occurences. Here are myths that Bo broke on this chapter:
Myth 1- Just WAIT. Marriage will come knocking at your door when you least expect it.
Total no no. Who ever said that a groom suddenly pops out of nowhere? Love, and more so marriage, are some things that take time. And need us to decide. We do not wait for love to come. We pursue love, the right way. Try become Juan Tamad in love and land as World's No. 1 hopeless single.haha
(additonal myths will be found on the other posts. that's how Bo wrote the book.haha)
Additionally, there are 4 actions that can be done for this step.
Action 1- Form a support team around you.
Action 2- Grow your character.
Action 3- get emotionally healthy.
Action 4- Know yourself ( for you to know what you want and don't want).
I'll be following the steps that Bo gave. I'll keep you guys updated. Lets get on with the discussion first :)

Day 3 - Accept the pain then throw it away
all around, tryin' to get the feelin again ...
(deep sigh)
I don't know. Maybe I am subconsciously sad though I'm trying to be happy. (Rachel! how can you be happy when you're listening to Duffy's I'm Scared?) But I would really want to attract positive things to my life. If I need to get over "you" I will, right now. I am supposed to be taking responsibility for finding the love of my life just as Bo Sanchez says on his books. Do we really need to acknowledge that we are hurting before we finally get over something that is making us extremely sad?
Okay, then I'll acknowledge it, so that I can finally throw it away. I'll just be posting my goodbye then in a few lines.
You made me feel love
Felt like I was home
Now all came to nothing
And I want to forget you
Is it easy to leave even our friendship?
You answer me.
Or I would rather not.
Some come and go.
Hope we can get past though this and be friends.
For now, goodbye.
(deep breath)
So now, I will banish every sadness. To be ready for another love, I need to have an open heart. Okay, let's divert this discussion then. I will tell you (yes you, who is reading my blog right now) what type of relationship I want right now.
I want to marry already. I want to finish school, to continue work and to fulfill my dreams in life knowing that I have that one person with me who will support and will be with me all the way. I know I have my family and very large circle of friends, and don't get me wrong. I really am lucky with all the people that I have attracted to my life. All of them have in so many ways brought the best in me. It's just that I know myself best. I grow and achieve best when I'm in love. And I am so past being single. I want to be in love. To be happily married. I don't care if I'm young. Id rather enjoy youth married, going out with friends with my husband, being in a lifetime courtship with him, planning all my life and future with him rather than spending it wondering who I'll spend my lifetime with. I want to start and live my life now with him. I now it's acary and weird for a lot of people. But try to think of it without all your prejudices for a few minutes. Isn't it the happiest feeling?

Day 2 - - 3 Love Stories
I just had to listen to three love stories. And the task is to learn from these stories.
Story 1
----
She is so in love. He is so in love. Then he gets in love with her bestfriend. Love and relationship dilemmas. They broke up and they all remained friends up to now. After two weeks, he and the best friend asked for her blessing, to allow their love to push through. She gave it. But they can't continue it. Unless they will accept all the negative things people around them and even people they love no to hurt or affect them.
Story 2
----
She is so in love. He is so in love. She always cries. ALWAYS. He shouts at her when a lot of people are around. She is a martyr. Always paranoid and sad. She does love him. Him, maybe. Wrong way though for me. She tried to break free, he wouldn't give in.
Story 3
----
my story. Not available.
Lessons?
hmm, I don't really know. Listening to stories of other people make you realize what you want n a relationship and if there are some things that you might be doing wrongly. What can you say about their stories. I do hope for goodness for them. I want happy stories to learn from next time.
And of course, I want my story not to just have a happy ending, because it's not always the end that justifies the means. I want a happy body for the story, The happy love story.
