best books about one sided love: Silver Lining Maggie Osborne, 2000-01-04 Hailed as “one of the best writers in the business” by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, multi-award-winning author Maggie Osborne delivers hilarious and heartrending tales of resilient women full of grit, pride, and dignity who shine through hard times. Now meet the most irresistible and independent heroine of them all, a woman called Low Down, who never had anything good happen to her until the day she asked for the one thing that only a man could give her. . . . As scruffy and rootless as the other prospectors searching for gold in the Rockies, Low Down wanted nothing in return for nursing a raggedy bunch through the pox. But when pressed to reveal her heart's wish, she admits, I want a baby. Not a husband, not a forced marriage to the proud man who drew the scratched marble and became honor bound to marry her.

But can this strange twist of fate lead to the silver lining that both have been searching for? |

best books about one sided love: Knowledge with the Pen Ali Alkholify, The Book: Awaken Your Inner Power: A Comprehensive Guide to Personal and Professional Transformation, Discover the Secrets of a Positive Mindset, Learn the Art of Building Self-Confidence, Develop Leadership Skills, Achieve Work-Life Balance, and Live a Life Full of Accomplishments and Happiness. This book is your roadmap to success and prosperity, providing you with the tools and techniques to turn your dreams into reality. Discover Man searches for belief. Man searches for his faith, and belief comes before method, and faith comes before action. By God, if they thought well, they would do well. Belief and attachment are functions of reason and belief, and they are through knowledge, so faith is through knowledge. Attachment is love, and what is meant by belief is the principle, message, or meaning. We are orders on earth, and the message creates meaning for life. A boy in a dream is an object or authority, and a girl is a world or sustenance. The truth is that the object is the source of personality. Money means the ability to solve problems when it meets you, and the servant of the people is their master. Every person you meet is either an obstacle or a path. Religion is dealing and treating people as you would like to be treated, and belief must come with knowledge. As for negative beliefs, they refuse to be discussed, as they are afraid of doubt, which is the source of true faith. The belief is deep within the subconscious mind and does not change except its name. The belief is the source of all ideas and the cognitive structure called man. All of this demonstrates the importance of the role of science and knowledge in removing illusions, myths, and negative energy from people. About the heart, mind and soul. Thought needs to be understood in order for internal dialogue to occur and for thinking not to become one-sided, extreme, and abnormal. When you understand thoughts, you are aware of them, you can judge them, you can develop them, and you can change them. Just respond to yourself. For every action, there is a reaction equal to it in magnitude and opposite to it in direction, and love does not occur without mental dialogue or dialogue. A mental dialogue occurs without your understanding. As for your thoughts, because of which you live in a world of imagination of your own making, you will not succeed without the union of understanding and thought. Everyone thinks and no one understands. Everyone speaks and no one listens. With the union of thought and understanding, you reach decision, judgment, awareness, vision, and sight, and with hearing you can see. When the minds hear the thoughts of the soul, the heart only sees. Reply to Yourself and your words before reality or people respond to you with a sound mental dialogue between the conscious and subconscious minds. The male mind and the female mind. The male needs the inner female or part of it on the mental level to develop ideas. Ideas are fixed, like customs and traditions, and understanding is change and development. Thought + understanding = science = awareness = wisdom = effectiveness. |
