Someone said to me a very long time ago: “Eddie, there is no sadder thing in the world than a missed opportunity. When I look back on my life, the only things I regret are the things I haven’t done, never the things I’ve done”.

What is a missed opportunity?

A missed opportunity is a chance you have not taken because of fear. It’s most often fear that is holding us back from progressing.

Now, you can apply this to anything in your life, from the business you want to build to the cheap car you didn’t buy last weekend. But the missed opportunity I am referring to, is not living the life you want to.

For example, when you met someone who could have a great impact on your life, and you didn’t take the chance because fear was holding you back.

Here is a very interesting quote for you from the movie Indecent Proposal, which illustrates what I mean:

“I remember once when I was young, I was coming back from someplace. A movie or something. I was on the subway.

There was a girl sitting across from me. She was wearing this dress that was buttoned clear up right to here. She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. I was shy then. So when she would look at me I would look away. Then afterwards, when I would look back she would look away.

Then I got to where I was gonna get off. Got off, the doors closed and as the train was pulling away she looked right at me and gave me the most incredible smile. It was awful. I wanted to tear the doors open.

I went back every night, same time for two weeks. But she never showed up.

That was years ago and I don’t think there’s a day that goes by that I don’t think about her.

I don’t want that to happen again.”
-Robert Redfort in “Indecent Proposal”

Believe it or not, something very similar happened in my life as well. Click to continue »

I was interviewed the other day regarding my article on how to break up with somebody. This article is one of my favorites, because I really think that it’s very important to learn how to break up the right way. If you have never done it before, how would you know what is the right way?

To lose someone, no matter on which side you are, is always painful. You cannot run away from that. What you can do is make sure that you follow some rules to make it easier for you and the one who’s left behind.

Here are three interesting questions and answers for you that can help you get a deeper understanding on how to break up gracefully. Click to continue »

Ever had a bad time in the morning while driving to work? You see all the people around you on the train or bus, or all the other cars stuck with you in the traffic jam and you just hate them. Everything seems to upset you.

You feel miserable.

Maybe you have some reasons to be, maybe your wife left you, or maybe you hate your job and just can’t stand another day in “paradise”.

Then it’s time to turn on the “switch”.

I wrote about this before, how to start your day successfully, I hope you’ve implemented my suggestions about using the law of attraction into your daily routine, they really work. This is the best way to plant the seed for a successful and happy day.

However, there are times when positive thinking alone cannot pull you out of the mudslinging negativity. The problem here is that it gets worse during the day, like a self-induced chain reaction.

But you can fight it.

There is a neat little visualization technique you can use to fight negativity.

Here it comes. Click to continue »

Celebrity broken heart quotes?

Has LovesAGame.com miraculously transformed into a gossip blog?

Most certainly not. This is my second article with collected quotes and I wanted to bring home a message with them.

Celebrities are human too, did you know that? They suffer from broken hearts exactly like we do. Don’t shake your heads, a lot of people think otherwise. Fame and fortune doesn’t protect you from life’s strokes.

The following celebrity broken heart quotes are a tribute to a German celebrity, who made my day some years ago.

A celebrity quote that caught my attention

Many years ago I accidentally heard one of the most inspiring broken heart quotes. It was from Germany’s most popular music producer. This guy had everything you could ever dream of, fame, money, girls, yet he was missing one thing. Click to continue »
