10 thing I Love AboutYOU
YOU are amazing! You may forget
sometimes, but someone always sees the
amazing things
about you that make you
so loveable.
So let me remind you of how truly
amazing you are, just because you’re
YOU:
1. Your smile.
I don’t care if your teeth aren’t perfectly
straight and bright white. When you
smile, it lights up your eyes with a
twinkle of honest delight that gives me a
glimpse into the beauty of your soul.
It’s as though you really see me and
you’re offering me a little parcel of your
heart.
So please remember, you can never
change the past nor control the future,
but you can change the mood of this
moment by touching someone’s heart
with your smile, in the same way you
have already touched mine.
2. Your self-respect.
I love the way you accept who you are
completely, the good and the bad, and
make changes in your life as YOU see fit
– not because you think anyone else
wants you to be different, but because
you know it’s the right thing to do, for
YOU.
The way you don’t rely on your
significant other, or anyone else, for your
happiness and self-worth moves me at
my core. You have taught me that our
first and last love is self-love, and that if
you can’t love and respect yourself , no
one else will be able to either.
3. Your courage.
You say you’re afraid sometimes, and
that the world seems too vast. You say
it can be a struggle just to get out of
bed in the morning, to put on your smile
and face reality, yet every day you
somehow find the strength to carry-on
and face life with courage and poise.
Your courage is my encouragement!
I love the way you prove day in and day
out that courage is not the absence of
fear, but rather the decision that other
things are more important than fear.
You take little, conscious steps every day
to love those around you, to care for
yourself, and to find joy in the smallest
moments – all these little steps add up
to greatness.
4. Your passion.
While I see others waiting around for
love, you inspire me with the way you
happily pursue your lusts . The way you
express yourself and what you hold dear
in your heart through your actions and
words, and the way you use your whole
mind and body to feel and interact with
the world around you is truly something
to be seen.
You have taught me that it’s not always
about loving the struggles in front of
you, but loving the ideas, dreams,
passions and people behind you and
within you. It gives me great joy to see
you ignited with an inner passion for
living and pursuing the ideas that move
you.
5. Your creativity.
When you speak, write or create, you act
like it’s your job to make mind-blowing,
passionate love to whatever idea it is
that drives the project you’re working on
at the time.
What astounds me is the way you
manage to communicate how you feel
and who you are in so many wondrous
ways, sometimes even without speaking
a word. The way you look at a situation
where others are asking, “Why?” and
instead ask, “Why not?” The way you
continually jump from great heights and
develop your wings on your way…
All I can say is: “Wow!”
6. Your positivity.
The way you dwell on the beauty of life…
The way you laugh, even when there’s no
pressing reason to do so…
You always turn a negative situation into
a positive opportunity. When you hear
negative thoughts, you think about the
positive side of things. When you see a
glass with water in it, you aren’t
concerned whether it’s half empty or
half full; you’re just grateful to have a
glass with something in it.
Thank you. You have made a difference
in my life by being so positive.
7. Your kindness and
compassion.
No matter how strong a person is, they
have weak points and sometimes all they
really need is a listening ear from a
compassionate friend . Thank you for
being that friend.
Even when you’ve been busy working
hard and dealing with your own issues,
somehow when I least expect it, you
reach out to help another person who is
in need. You consider their
circumstances with love rather than
judgment. You move into the “right
here, right now” with an open heart and
a willingness to be supportive,
unconditionally.
8. Your unconditional
acceptance.
You take people and their situations for
what they are, you appreciate them, and
you don’t try to label them or change
them.
I realize now that that your
unconditional acceptance doesn’t mean
you’re giving up your freewill to have an
opinion – that’s quitting. It simply
means you’re willing to let go of the
fantasies of who you think people should
be and how you think things are
supposed to be, so you can fall in love
with who they truly are and how life
really is.
9. Your sense of humor.
You are always able to see the funny side
of life through its ups and downs. You
manage to make light of situations that
could easily drive a person crazy.
Negative things happen in your life, but
somehow you shake them off and still
mange to see the humor in it all. Your
laughter and sense of humor is
infectious and lifts the mood of those
around you, so the rest of us don’t take
ourselves so seriously all the time.
Thank you for helping me see the beauty
and comedy in the absurdity of life.
10. Your love and loyalty.
Even though you have felt pain and
heartbreak, and although you sometimes
try your hardest to hide it, you just can’t
stop loving. It’s who you are on the
inside. Even though you sometimes
require alone time for rest and healing,
you always return to wanting to share
love in your life.
You have helped me understand that
relationships are about two people being
true to each other even when times are
tough , and that when it comes to
relationships, remaining faithful is never
an option, but a priority. Prolonged love
and loyalty mean the world… and yes…
your love and loyalty mean the world to
me.
Your turn…
