LOVE MAKES US TICK ….

Truth is, we are social beings, we work best when we give love, care and affection – and more especially when we are also loved in return, shown care and lots of affection.

The saying that, “no man is an island”, couldn’t be more true – we just cannot function as best as we are supposed to without others we can call our own – we can deny it all we want, but that is the reality.

Nothing drives a wife to move Heaven and Earth for her husband than his positive comments and compliments about even the littlest of efforts she puts in to make their house a home.

Nothing makes a girl blush more than for that one guy to tell her how good she looked in that dress (she probably spent hours in front of the mirror just to look that good, not only for herself but also for him).

Nothing makes a guy daydream more than knowing there’s that lady who values him just for who he is, no matter how little he has to offer.

Nothing moves a man to give off his hundred percent than the appreciation and admiration of all those he works so tirelessly to cater for.

Nothing can spur on a leader more than knowing he has so strong a backing and support, that he will not only be celebrated for his successes but will also be encouraged to keep fighting when failure stares at him in the face.

Just knowing there are people in your life who deem you as worth celebrating ignites you to do more for them than you are already doing.

We may attempt to do all we can by ourselves, we may try all we can to live happily without others, and we may actually succeed for a while – yet, that is just about how long it would ever take, “a while.”

After a while, the “human” in you that craves friendship, the “being” in you that yearns companionship, that love tank within your chest that desperately seeks to be filled with love will utter a loud cry of despair, an outcry so thunderous that it cannot be avoided.

After a while, the fog will lift, and you will begin to see more clearly, the bandages will be removed and you will begin to hurt so deeply for all the friends you let go, for all the love you never showed, for all the hugs you took for granted, for all the people you never appreciated.

After a while, you cannot escape the truth that we all need a shoulder to cry on, we all need a warm hand to squeeze tight, we all need someone we can hug tight even when all hell breaks loose.

After a while, reality will dawn on you, the darkness that made you assume you will forever do just fine on your own will be dispelled as the morning sun rises one inescapable dawn – you will realize that life is only worth it if you love all you can, care all you can, shower your loved ones with all the compliments you can (whether they even deserve it or not), appreciate everyone who does anything to put a smile on your face.

That time will come when you will finally agree with the scripture that says, “it is not good for man (and of course, woman also) to be alone…….”
