Introduction

Life is a school with endless number of lessons. It offers opportunities to us every day and when we take it seriously, we will surely learn a thing or two as we go by. Relationships have been one of my toughest lessons. As the wise men said, ´´the way to a solution is the ability to admit there is a problem´´. Growing up I was a very shy child. Dating was something I didn’t learn from my old man. I had to experience the struggles of puberty, the emotions of my sweet sixteen year and early adult years by myself. I was sometime feeling out of place whenever my friends bragged about having sex before their eighteenth birthday. I was twenty-four years old when I lost my virginity. I was inexperienced about it especially first time being with someone who already had the experience. It was a struggle for me after that. My problem was that I didn’t know selfcontrol and that made me hurt myself and the people around me. The hardest thing in all these walks of lessons, I hurt someone who I dearly loved. to me. I was a mess for as long as I could remember. Like many of us do, it took me several years to admit that I had a problem. It has taken me a great deal of courage to admit my failure of not understanding what love means. But it is not until you fall that you learn how to fly. Even as I write this book to share with you all how to fall back on the right path, I assure you am not a perfect human being, but am ready each day for a new lesson to better myself. It has taken me a great deal to admit there is no expert when it comes to love that lasts. It is a class that you gradually grow but you remain in class for the next lesson. It has no master or degree certificate. The satisfaction of you and the people you love is the reward of it. It is work that requires patience and endurance.

This book is based on relationship experiences and lessons taken from both my achievements, and failures, disappointments, and motivation in my dating life. I took all that into account to write down to you who are in relationship or marriage and are struggling to improve and make your love more enjoyable now than ever. I have laid down a series of how to make your relationship flow on a love that tastes like your favourite cocktail. Am not saying this book alone will make your relationship perfect, but I do believe it might change something in your relationship. This is a practical book that will effectively work by but putting these steps into practise.

´´A good servant is guided by passion and not a duty mentality.´´

Chapter 1

Have yourself a cocktail

According to Wikipedia's definition, a Cocktail is a mixed drink typically made with distilled beverages such as brandy, whiskey, tequila, rum, and many other ingredients. There is no limitation to how much components you need to mix in your cocktail. You may use as from two to thousand compliments. Okay, maybe not thousand but even five components to create something good. There are non-alcoholic cocktails and also alcoholic cocktails depending on personal taste. A cocktail expert will tell you that a good cocktail requires time and creativity. On the other hand, it may just need a very simple idea. There is a need for creativity and imagination of how to create a good unique cocktail. And just like a good cocktail needs time, imagination, and creativity, a good relationship does not come that easy. It needs a lot of work and determination and discipline and patience. The greatest psychologist believes that different moods automatically come with different kinds of colors. In the somber mood for example at the burial of a loved one or a family member, a theme of dark colors is associated with it. During weddings or baptism, white color is associated with it. Red is just a mono color which is normally associated with danger, and white is just one color usually associated with peace. However, if you mix the two colors, you will have a dark color. Blue and green are associated with beauty and joy. When these colors are mixed however, the artist creates something extraordinary. For example, imagine painting a picture on a white paper with white color. It won't be able to show the work done and the appreciation may be limited even when the art is good. Just like it will be impossible to imagine something without seeing it, it's almost impossible to imagine the taste of a cocktail before tasting it. A man once said, ´´ you cannot rush good music´´. It will disappoint you to the point of giving up trying to understand the art of love. A ship sinks at the shore is a phrase commonly used to describe time. for example, few times in our lives when we are just won out and ready to give up, it is at that moment when things turn around for better. That moment when you are about to give up on each other or your partner and walk away, could be the same point of turning your relationship or marriage into a state of joy? I once learned that experience is the best teacher. And though it is easier to learn from your experience, it is also easier to not learn from it when we justify ourselves. However, we could learn from the joy and pain and disappointment of others when we relate to their story.

One of the reasons why the Coca-Cola company produces a lot of coke and supplies them around the world is because more than one person in this world would agree that coke is the best soft drink. Many people think coke is not as good as Fanta or sprite. The point is, there is probably that one person out there who would agree with you on the same matter. There is a possibility that you will agree with someone else about a certain cocktail. It’s all about searching for that one taste that fits both of you and for you. However, there is nothing wrong with being different. You can both have a different opinion, passion, but that doesn't mean you are not eligible to share a love based on truth and understanding. David Beckham is a world-famous footballer who has been married for a long time to one spice girl Victoria Beckham. She is nowhere to be seen in the sport of soccer, and David is nowhere to be heard when it comes to music, but these two love birds made of totally different passions have proved that people can still find a true deep lasting relationship. Having different passions from your partner may only demonstrate being a human being with uniquely made preferences. We all have something unique in us that you cannot find in someone else. It's that uniqueness that makes people either be drawn to us or away from us. Due to different life circumstances, everybody has been pushed in one way or another making it difficult to be uniquely open to show it how unique we are. Just like one need unique component to make one unique cocktail, it is these unique personalities that help us build a long, and not boring relationships. Walking away becomes easier when someone is hurting. It is easier to not face something or somebody who we don't think understands us or has not tried anything but to hurt us. When we feel stuck, it is easy to start hurting. When we start hurting, sometimes we cannot even notice other people hurting. The concern for others is reduced unknowingly.

There are over 7,000,000,000 people around the world. If every person wanted a different kind of soft drink with a different kind of taste, you can imagine how much soft drinks would have to be produced to cater for these people. The same goes for Fanta and sprite or crest, and even different kinds of beer and many other food and beverages.
