If we think with a mindset of giving, we entertain abundance, and if we think with an attitude of withholding, we invite
lack. As the source gives to the stream so ought the stream to impart to the ocean.

Humility in action puts the relationship on a higher level.
_Andrews Quote_
Needing people is a fact but letting them know how much we need them is a requirement.
_Andrews Quote_
Humility breathes fresh air into a relationship full of give and take.
_Andrews Quote_
The person who thinks that he knows every-thing and fails to learn from others, is on his way to failure.
_Andrews Quote_
The person who thinks that he knows everything is on his way to failure.

It is amazing to see what happens when a man who is in the position of leader-ship chose to listen to the ideas and opinions of those in his care.
_Andrews Quote_
Loyalty is trust. The best proof of love is trust.
_Andrews Quote_
What you did to get that person is what you need to keep doing in order to keep them.
_Andrews Quote_
Jumping ship will not make a person who refuses to accept growth, disguised as a challenge change into a better person.
_Andrews Quote_
A growing relationship is somewhat like the life of a butterfly.
_Andrews Quote_
The real you always surface when your back is up against the wall.
_Andrews Quote_
A smart husband will give his wife pleasant things to think on.
_Andrews Quote_
Women thrive on masculine approval.
_Andrews Quote_
The best way for a woman to know that you approve of her is for you to tell her so.

The light of love should never be put out or allowed to die in the heart of the one you love.
_Andrews Quote_
Two thirds of the worlds’ problems could be solved through effective communication.
_Andrews Quote_
Communication plays a major role in how we love; it is of utmost importance to the other party that they know what you say and how you feel so they like an actor in the role can give the correct response.

Affirmation, Attention and Acceptance places value on others.

A person who spreads love edifies and not de-edifies.
_Andrews Quote_
There is magic in complimenting people in front of other people and behind their backs.
_Andrews Quote_
Affirming someone by telling them that you believe in them, will gain you points close to I’m sorry, I was wrong and I apologize.
_Andrews Quote_
When we affirm someone we tend to lift their spirits, and we all know that a fulfilled person is more likely to spread happiness than an unhappy person.
_Andrews Quote_
As a woman is moved by a man who tells her daily that he loves her, so is a man moved by a woman who tells him that she respects him.
_Andrews Quote_
Men are meant to be leaders; therefore they want to be respected.
_Andrews Quote_
If you would like to be respected it is imperative that you first show respect for others.
_Andrews Quote_
Outside of inviting sexual love a man needs approval and respect.
_Andrews Quote_
An associate of mine used to say that when a man comes home from work his wife ought to be dressed in her favorite nightwear, just finished reading a copy of The Total Woman.
_Andrews Quote_
Women want to be loved and cherished with a king to rule over them. Men want to be admired and respected with a queen to support and motivate them. For her he will do any-thing. For him her senses will be aroused.
_Andrews Quote_
On the other hand, most men do not take the time to set their wife’s heart on fire by continually telling her how beautiful she is and how great she does the things that she do.
_Andrews Quote_
Many women love to see it in writing. To them it is like a commitment of your love – now and forever.
_Andrews Quote_
Today I reflected on how long and hard I’d searched, never knowing that I’d find someone like you. Now after so many years, you still possess my innermost
thoughts.
_Andrews Quote_
Most women tend to let themselves go after they get the ring, they come to bed with rollers in their hair and holes under the armpit of their night attire. Men like to inspect what they expect and are therefore turned off instead of turned on fully by what they see.
_Andrews Quote_
If one were to jump off the top of a tall building inevitably they’re going to fall.
_Andrews Quote_
It is a known fact that spouses who do not respect each other, compounded over time are en-route to the divorce courts before long.
_Andrews Quote_
The people who fall out of love with themselves do so by first losing their self-respect.
_Andrews Quote_
The words: I was wrong, I’m sorry and I apologize, could be the three most important phrases in any relationship in addition to I love you.
_Andrews Quote_
Respect is like a two way street. Respect and you’ll be respected.
_Andrews Quote_
Staying in love takes work, much more than many are prepared for.
_Andrews Quote_
If a person is not willing to work on him or herself they should stay out of the falling in love business. The world is full of too many abandoned relation-ships and broken hearts.
_Andrews Quote_
Every relationship needs commitment in it in order for it to grow and when the focus is love, we raise our standards – experiencing a higher and deeper love.
_Andrews Quote_
Without love in a relationship there is no momentum and without momentum, there is no progress.
_Andrews Quote_
In life when we’re interested in something we tend to do it when it is convenient but when we are committed, we do it no matter what stands in our way.
_Andrews Quote_
When you fall off the horse, get up, get back on and ride to the finish line.
_Andrews Quote_
An adult-like commitment carries more significance than a childlike commitment.
_Andrews Quote_
There seems to be something extra that radiates from someone once they commit, it is like the glue that bonds that entity together, creating such synergy within the group.

As human beings, our life gets out of balance when our priorities are out of whack.
_Andrews Quote_
When there’s proper alignment in the home, unity, trust, communication, confidence, blessings and commitment are some of the by-products.
_Andrews Quote_
It takes a heart filled with love to give when there is very little to give.
_Andrews Quote_
To love God means to serve him in spirit and in truth and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
_Andrews Quote_
You can never out-give your source.
_Andrews Quote_
Only you can decide the direction of your life, by what you love and how you love.
_Andrews Quote_
Everyone wants to be appreciated, accepted and affirmed.
_Andrews Quote_
People will respond positively to you when their needs are being met.
_Andrews Quote_
Loving YOU start with your self-confidence: that deep down feeling inside of you that lets you know that you have value.
_Andrews Quote_
A person’s five closest friends say a lot about them and where they are heading whether uphill or downhill.
_Andrews Quote_
Love begins, or should begin at home.
_Andrews Quote_
Genuine friendship is at the root of all long lasting relationships.
_Andrews Quote_
Love will cause one to go to other limits as in the case of Romeo and Juliet, according to Shakespeare.
_Andrews Quote_
Love attracts, it has substance, it’s real, it’s a feeling, it illuminates, it conquers, it grows, and it can set the world on fire.
_Andrews Quote_
In order to help someone get what they want you have to first listen to their needs. And that takes listening not only with the ear but with the heart. This is a skill which requires patience, understanding and wisdom.
_Andrews Quote_
Loving YOU starts with your self-confidence: that deep down feeling inside of you that lets you know that you have value. It is not an arrogant feeling but rather a combination of self-appreciation, self-respect and self-worth. When those qualities are discovered, you become self-forgiving and the new you emerge like a flower in springtime.
_Andrews Quote_
By not loving yourself you’re destined to be your own worst enemy and thereby fail to discover what a wonderful person you are or could become.
_Andrews Quote_
I’ve noticed that many people work hard on their jobs and not on their relationships. As a result they end up in divorce and wonder why their marriage hasn’t worked.
_Andrews Quote_
Some ask for more love but never release that which they have. It’s like the stream drawing from the source but surrenders only to the dam.
_Andrews Quote_
God is love. He’s the source which keeps giving to the stream continually. The people who think and do evil are like dead streams which misuse the source and therefore their freedom to love.
_Andrews Quote_
Love supports ones hopes and dreams and is never too tired to pass a compliment or do a good deed.
_Andrews Quote_
Love is like the sun which melts the iceberg of sin and mediocrity, molding and supporting our world.
_Andrews Quote_
Love is patient, strong and lasts forever.
_Andrews Quote_
Love is going the second mile. It does not judge; it forgives, building bridges between nations and failed relationships.
_Andrews Quote_
Love heals. It makes the flowers grow, and colors our world.
_Andrews Quote_
Love is passion, its desire, its creativity, its being and its doing. Love prospers, it elevates, it renovates and it electrifies.
_Andrews Quote_
Love builds up, it doesn’t tear down.
_Andrews Quote_
Love brings light to darkness; it reaches through, sees through and follows through.
_Andrews Quote_
Love draws you closer to God. The higher and deeper your love, the higher and deeper is your relationship with God.
_Andrews Quote_
Love is patient however; it does not sit on the fence.
_Andrews Quote_
Love is never fragmented; it’s an inseparable whole which does not delight in bits and pieces.
_Andrews Quote_
Love works because God is LOVE and always will be.
_Andrews Quote_
If you grasp this fact that loving starts with you, the way you love will have merit. It will be a higher and by all means – a deeper love. Even if you have come from a broken home, an abused relationship, poverty, communism, or atheism you can start right now with a clean slate and bring an abundance of love into your life and the lives of others.
_Andrews Quote_
Once you know yourself it becomes a lot easier to see YOU in someone else, and creating that bond becomes a lot easier.
_Andrews Quote_
Students study in order to maintain good grades. Pastors keep studying if they want to remain on the pulpit. Doctors and lawyers are known to study for almost a decade and beyond. No one wants an uneducated doctor to execute their heart transplant or an unskilled attorney to represent them in court. Yet, so many resist relational education and jump into “loving” relationships including marriage and expect the process of osmosis to build that relationship for them. They fail to continually equip themselves, not realizing that the largest room in our world today is the room for improvement and all that they can become beckons at them.
_Andrews Quote_
Genuine friendship is at the root of all long lasting relationships.
_Andrews Quote_
The people who create long lasting meaningful friendships with others understand that love lives on long after they’re gone and therefore they’re not afraid to invest in meaningful associations. They understand that now is all the time they have. There is no time for hatred or false pretense. So they give 150% to their relationships.
_Andrews Quote_
To love and be loved demands your best.
_Andrews Quote_
If love isn’t flowing it’s dying, and like the stream without its source, one cannot give something which he does not first possess.
_Andrews Quote_
A love weaved with many strands tend to be stronger than the one done with a few strands.
_Andrews Quote_
When love like a fire is ablaze in one’s heart and soul, it spreads, engulfing the possessor and recipient in flames of brilliance.
_Andrews Quote_
Love is by far the most powerful force on earth.
_Andrews Quote_
It’s a common trend that kids tend to develop their relation-ship values from their parents. And those qualities they pass on to their future generations.
_Andrews Quote_

Self-Knowledge
It is often said that “knowledge is power.” Self knowledge, then, is your first key to success. See, if you really, I mean really, really knew yourself and understand that the sky is the limit to your potential you may not be able to go to sleep tonight. Captivated by such a burning desire to tap into that 90% unused potential which remains unleashed, you’d be wide awake planning the next series of moves for your life.
