Keep THAT FIRE Burning!

Keep THAT FIRE Burning!

To Keep THAT FIRE Burning is easier said than done but this is a MUST-DO so we have to.  BUT as part of our takeaways in life, we DON'T need to be convinced that in a relationship, DON'T allow the 'small things' to get in the way of keeping the FLAME alive in your relationship.  It is up to each of you, individually and together, to make this happen.  And we just to realize that that relationship takes a LIFETIME of EFFORT📗📙📘

Now, I am NO guru on this topic but I'll pull out from my sleeves some age-old practical advices and topping that list is to COMMUNICATE REGULARLY.  And COMMUNICATING is more than just talking.  It is an exchange between the two of you where talking, listening and understanding occurs.  It involves the ability to pay attention to what your partner/spouse is thinking and feeling.  Good communication builds both parties up no less💎💎💎

Emilia Fazzalari, the CEO of Cincoro Tequila and wife of filthy rich American entrepreneur and Boston Celtics majority owner Wycliffe Grousbeck shared that they love to spend an afternoon making pasta sauce from scratch and preparing a feast  And she doesn't miss to share that the holidays are the BEST TIME to light a fire, throw on some great music and fill the night with fun conversations and laughter after her frenetic pace of work💵💴💷

Another shared advice is to CONNECT EMOTIONALLY.  Understanding and listening the NEEDS and WANTS of your partner/spouse helps bring the two of you closer together.  Continue to get to know each other on a deeper level.  And remember to LAUGH.  Just DON'T take life so seriously💕💕💕

And if there is one thing sorely missed by many of us after years and years in a relationship, we got to LOOK FOR THE BEST IN EACH OTHER.  When we look for and focus on the BEST in others, we see the BEST.   Translated bluntly, you SEE what you want to SEE.  Moreover, laughter RELIEVES stress, RELIEVES tension.  Who says the flame is about to flicker out?  That's baloney.  DON'T buy that BUT instead, leave no single stone unturned💙💛💚

Keep 'THAT FIRE' Burning

Keep 'THAT FIRE' Burning

Who says we should PUT OUT THE FIRE ?  We're not referring to the bush fires and wild fires.  Instead, we're referring to that 'FIRE' in our lives which forever should KEEP BURNING.  Why ?  Because that FIRE KEEPS US GOING.  When that fire stops, it's not far fetch to claim that our life stops as well.  WHY ?  Now, if there's FAST TALK, we got a FAST CHECK.  How's your MOTIVATION ?  Is it going down ? How's your ENERGY ?  Do you feel it's getting drained ?  How's your INTENSITY?  Can you feel that it's waning 

These are tell-tale signs that your fire is not burning as it should be.

Now, if your answer for any of those questions is a resounding NO, those are the alarm bells that means you gotta take action NOW.  You need to 'arrest the skid', now that things are slowing down at your end.

Who wants to feel so DOWN ?  So DRAINED ?  So DEMOTIVATED ?  Thing is, NEVER WAIT to reach that point when you get drained or demotivated.  You should have taken action when things were slowing down.  Just like the running vehicles, things will become damn difficult when the vehicle gets stalled and its battery conks out.

So WHY do we need to KEEP THE FIRE BURNING ?  We need FUEL to BURN, AIR to SUPPLY OXYGEN, HEAT to START, FRICTION to IGNITE the ENGINE.  When THAT FIRE is waning, what do we do ? ASK ourselves, what and where are we passionate at ?  What are our STRENGTHS ?  What is/are our goals and how far are we to achieve, not that ultimate goal but at least a milestone ?  It's like aiming to save $1Mn [which could take forever].  So why not set milestone targets each time you reach $10k ?

How about our relationships ?  Are those sweet moments turning to boring ones ?  How about our work ?  Are day-to-day routines becoming boring ?  Whether it's our relationships or our work, GET OUT of that ROUTINE. Be creative.  Be inventive.  Ask yourself, what task can you perform at work such that it will make your day ?  It's NOT rocket science to KEEP THAT FIRE BURNING folks.❗❗❗
