Did you ever act foolishly after you’ve fallen in love with someone?

Probably your mind when a little over the top with all the things it suggested

to impress the beloved one with.

Perhaps you struggled to find the right words, bombarding the beloved one with

thousands of things you love, because you thought that they might love it as well.

So, maybe in trying to make a good impression you achieved,

well, the exact opposite.

You're not alone, of course.

Also, this does not only apply when you fall in love with someone.

It also happens when you fall in love with an idea.

When we’re in love with an idea, we are easily overwhelmed with all

the things we love about that idea.

We would want to tell the world everything about it, and at once.

And it's not uncommon that in trying to impress others, we're actually

alienating or at least confusing them.

So just as with building new relationships, it helps to listen

more than you want to talk.

It helps to figure out what the others love so that you can figure

out whether it's a good match.

And it also helps to take a deep breath so that the words that

you do say come out in a way that makes at least a little more sense.
