A few months ago an article was published on the 8 principles of having a Bullet Proof Relationship. A series of 8 articles was published afterwards that describes these 8 principles in detail. Maybe you have lost out on many of these exciting principles, maybe you have never even read one of them, but this article will contain a very sweet, short and yet, very powerful summary on these 8 principles. These principles are not a quick fix idea on relationships but is rather something that, if applied and integrated into ones life, will revolutionize a relationship forever. Following are the a summary of the 8 principles.
Principle #1: Joy Joy does not exist in any form. It cannot be borrowed or taken form a certain place. It is within us. The transformational power of joy lies in it when we can demolish boredom in a relationship despite difficult circumstances. Never become bored!
Principle #2: Faithfulness Faithfulness is to do what you said you will do. The transformational power of faithfulness lies in keeping your word in the smallest of things. Keeping your promise acts like deposits into an emotional bank account. Develop integrity!
Principle #3: Gentleness Gentleness is about becoming aware of the small things in others as well as your own life. It is the small things in life that we remember the best. The transformational power of gentleness lies in becoming aware of these small things and then to act on them. Act!
Principle #4: Goodness Love is not always soft. Sometimes love needs to be tough for it to fulfill its purpose. Many times offence arises from goodness, but offence is never given; it's always taken. The real transformational power of goodness lies in it when we are corrected without taking offence. Accept appropriate correcting love!
Principle #5: Longsuffering Longsuffering is patience through difficult circumstances. It is active. It never plays the blame game and always forgives. The real transformational power of longsuffering lies in it when two people can have patience together by being active and without being resentful. Never quit!
Principle #6: Meekness Meekness is about becoming teachable. The real transformational power lies in it when you can let go of being right. It doesn't make you wrong; it just frees you from the attachment it has on you. Let go!
Principle #7: Temperance Temperance is about having control. Having control over our desires, feelings and thinking. It's about reaching your goal through control. The real transformational power lies in it when you allow the brain to serve its rightful position as organ. Say no/yes!
Principle #8: Peace Peace is about being free from any internal and external commotion and tension. It is not about not fighting. It's about identifying the landmines and then to execute them. The real transformational power of peace lies in it that all lasting change starts from the inside out. Find internal peace!
