Polishing Your Diamond
Diamond merchants and jewellers will tell you, that the best way to make a diamond shine is to polish it very well. Always.
Our diamonds are:
Friendships, relationships, marriage, children.
We all want that diamond in our lives;
One we can love, cherish and care for.
A partner, a best friend, a soul mate.
There are times when a diamond comes into your life.
The diamond stays for a while.
You polish it; you try.
But, no matter how much you polish that diamond, it never shines.
It holds that dull colour, no matter how much you polish it.
You polish to the best of your ability, but you never get it to shine.
Then that one diamond enters your life.
The one.
When that diamond enters your life, not by accident
But by purpose and with meaning,
That diamond has then changed your life,
Your life will never be the same again.
That diamond was put in our life for a reason.
You need to treasure and look after that diamond because most times you will find that one diamond that will enrich your life forever.
You need to hold onto that diamond for the rest of your life.
That diamond will enhance your life. You will feel loved, you will be happy, and your loneliness and sadness will be gone forever.
With that diamond, your whole life, will become new, the new beginning. You always dreamed about that diamond, and were always searching for it everywhere.
That one diamond, which would be yours forever……
Question?
How do you take care of the diamond?
That has come into your life, that
Has blessed you more than life itself?
From my epiphany, experience, knowledge and research:
God made us all different.
We are all very rough diamonds.
We all have our own trademark.
We are individuals, with our own character, personality, our own likes and dislikes, our own needs and desires, our own options and opinions.
We all carry baggage of our past lives, one way or another.
No diamond is ever the same.
That is what makes diamonds so interesting, and very unique at times, very challenging at most.
So, two diamonds get together.
One may be a shining light, the other as dull as the setting sun.
Two diamonds may be perfect for one another.
Two diamonds may need a lot of polishing and shinning.
In the beginning, you never know what type of diamond has stepped into your life.
Therefore
I believe. When two diamonds get together, there is only one way to make a successful future for both.
You must polish your new diamond.
Dailey, every single day of your life.
You must understand your new diamond in your life
Where that diamond has been, in the past.
How much polishing has that diamond experienced?
How much polishing does that diamond need?
Are you prepared to polish your new diamond for ever?
Will your new diamond be prepared to polish their new diamond to have a very successful relationship and future?
Are you ready to polish away?
Polishing your new diamond.
As with life, it takes a lot of time, effort, understanding, patience and knowledge to polish your new diamond.
All diamonds have a flaw, one way or another.
There is no perfect diamond in a relationship.
You may spend the rest of your life, looking for the perfect diamond. You know, you will never find the perfect diamond.
There are no perfect diamonds in a relationship.
Be it, family, friends or soul mate.
So many people, look for the most beautiful, the most handsome, the rich, best character, incredible personality, kind considerate understanding, religious diamond.
Everything the one diamond loves, they want in another diamond.
They want the perfect partner, the perfect diamond.
But sadly, you will never find that diamond.
So
We find a diamond, that we are so attracted to, definitely not perfect, but close to it.
Then we start polishing.
We understand our new diamond, with all their faults and baggage.
We accept and we polish away at that diamond.
We always consider the diamonds ways, antics, not what we used to though.
But we consider who that diamond is, and we polish away at that diamond.
We accept and agree the fact, that this is the diamond we want in our lives.
We want to spend forever with this diamond.
You see, you can accept a new diamond in your life.
But, if you put it away in a drawer, and you do not polish it every single day, it will never shine for you, that new diamond, will be dull forever.
We are so quick, to always want everything we need.
We consider only ourselves only.
Our opinions, needs and desires, must always be right and taken into account always.
What we think, say and confess, it is law
It is always all about us
If people do not understand me, i get upset because, they did not consider me, take my needs and opinions into account.
That is the way life has made us.
All diamonds, have gone through the mill of life
We have all been hurt, suffered serious pain and disappointment, carry huge baggage in life, from our past and present, every single one of us.
But
That is the past, we will always carry those scars and baggage, no matter what.
Do not let that interfere in your new relationship, your new diamond in your life.
You chose that diamond, now it is time to polish.
So
How do we polish our new diamond?
It is not always easy, to take up that task and assignment.
We are not always prepared to polish
Too much time and effort….
But
The more, you polish that new diamond, the brighter it will become, and in the long run, it will shine like a bright star for you. Just like you always wanted.
Polishing your diamond includes:
Love unconditionally
Love is the key to life.
Communication, be it good or bad
Never stop talking.
Time spent in conversation always goes a long way.
Communication is the key to every relationship.
Too much silence in this world.
Let it out.
Build trust
No relationship can exist without trust.
Trust your diamond
It is hard at times, the more you trust, the more the shine.
Always be honest and open with your diamond
No matter how it hurts, or disappointed you are.
We do not always get what our heart desires.
Call it the way it is.
Be faithful.
A commitment to a diamond, is the first step to success.
Learn from animals.
Faithful diamonds stay together forever.
Always be there for one another no matter what
You might have your own opinion, you might disagree, you might have your own views, and ideas, but, just always be there for your diamond. It is amazing, always being there for your diamond, can change a relationship in a positive way all the time.
It can only shine.
Make time for your diamond
Yes, life is busy, we are all busy with stuff and our own lives.
Always take and make time for your diamond
Time spend together, no matter, how long it is
Is time very well spent.
Most times, you have to give a little, to gain a lot.
Leave the past in the past.
Yes, your diamond, will know your past
But, concentrate, on the present and the future, always.
Know that having arguments are normal.
There are always disagreements
That is man kind
But
It’s the way you argue
Be understanding
Be soft and gentle
Shouting, screaming and abuse never solves anything.
Verbal abuse, is worse than physical abuse.
Bruises heal, cruel words stay in the heart forever.
Being right, is not always the answer.
Give and take, always sorts out an argument.
Know that you will not always be happy
Life is full of disappointments
You do not always have to get your way.
But sometimes, you just have to suck it up.
That is polishing, or being polished.
Do not expect change
You can polish your diamond, so that it shines for you
But you will never change the colour of that diamond.
Appreciate the flaws of your new diamond
That is the way, your diamond was created
You will never change that creation.
God made your diamond the way they are.
Always appreciate your diamond
Never stop saying thank you
Apologise when you are wrong, pride is a bitch.
Give in sometimes. Giving is more important than receiving.
Comment on the small and big things your diamond does for you
Do for your diamond, more than the new diamond does for you.
It is the little things, that count, and go a long way.
Become best friends with your diamond
Your diamond must not only be your partner
Your diamond must be your best friend ever.
Someone you would die for.
Just like a dog, is a man’s best friend.
When animals die, they die with love.
Lastly
Love your diamond unconditionally
You chose that diamond, now you must love that diamond
Like never before
Polish polish polish……
That shine will be worth it, and it will shine forever…….
