LOVE, BEING VALUED, GIVING & RECEIVING
LOVE, BEING VALUED, GIVING AND RECEIVING❤
#supersundaynotes
Last week, Jen asked a dear friend who has had great achievements and intensive experiences in business and life, about his favorite lesson during his experiences in life particularly love (let’s call him Mike).
---
Jen: What is the most important thing that you have learned about yourself and love during your relationships?
Mike: I learned an aspect of love – that I didn't feel fully before – in my 13-year relationship. But I didn’t learn that aspect until the relationship ended.
Jen: …(silence waiting for the friend to continue…)
Mike: After ending this relationship, it took me almost a year to get back to normal.
I then met a Brazilian woman on a trip to Brazil…She and I attended a business meeting. I liked her voice and energy, so I asked my friend (a compatriot of hers who was sitting next to me) for her number. He told me, “You know, she also asked for your contact number”. I saw that as a great sign.
Jen: You both experienced each other's energy?
Mike: That's right.
Jen: And then?
Mike: I invited her for lunch the next day, and we talked for hours. And our relationship warmed for the two remaining weeks of my visit. On my last day, I told her that I wanted to take her back to the USA with me, for a two-week trip. I also made a joke by sending her a full schedule in Excel of what we would do together, especially the “just the two of us together”. (laugh)
Jen: How interesting and sweet for you to send the Excel document about the plan...(laughs).
Mike: Yes, and then she also did the sweet thing, she sent me back feedback about the plan – with even more times of, “just the two of us together” … (laugh). That time, I learned what I had missed in my earlier relationship – the giving and receiving, the appreciation of every action between two people in the relationship, and the giving and receiving in both directions.'

Thanks to Mike for sharing the love lesson❤ Thanks to Mike's and our relationships either in a long time or short time, for giving Mike and us different dimensions of ourselves, love and life.
A fulfilled, loving week for all of us, both receiving and giving❤.
