AND THIS TOO SHALL PASS

It's so very hard to say good-bye to anyone that leaves our lives.  The saying "and this too shall pass" is so far removed when we are going through our tragedy.  The feeling of emptiness, loneliness and sadness consumes our being how can we get through these tough times?  What helps is having someone to talk to who won't judge and will just listen.

In relationships we invest enough to receive what we put into it.  It's hard to explain how you feel when the person you have given your all to has disappeared, fallen sick, is unfaithful or passes away.  We continue to hear "and this too shall pass" but when will our heart begin to heal again?  Will we ever find love again?

The saying, "And this too shall pass" often ignites anger that someone would utter these words but once it sets into our minds we realize that life does go on and it's true what once caused us hurt and we thought we could never get through, we actually did "And This Too Shall Pass,"  has indeed passed.

FORGIVENESS

As the year begins its countdown to 2012 the question of forgiveness is unavoidable.  Why go into the New Year holding onto baggage and grudges?  One great lesson learnt is anger towards another only weighs you down and causes you to become miserable and sick.

Forgive your: parents, lover, spouse, kids, teacher, siblings, uncle, aunt, cousin, in-laws, boss, friend, co-worker etc.  Just say out loud, I FORGIVE YOU! Avoid the sarcasm, snide remarks and just let go-forgiving is more so for your peace of mind not for who you are forgiving.

People, even you make mistakes and deserve a change to show redemption.  Forgiving someone else lifts such a load upon your heart and adds years to your life.  Let go and forgive-show you are the bigger person and that you possess understanding, compassion and kindness. 

I said forgive but let us not forget because in the same breath, we don't want to be a fool twice in life.  Forgive to allow the relationships to rebuild at its own pace.

LOVE WITHOUT A LIMIT

When you fall in love-real true love, where your heart beats when you hear this persons voice on the phone, smell the cologne or perfume, your stomach aches when they go away-that's love.  Question is what is your limit in loving someone.

Love these days seems like there is no limit.  Young girls allow themselves to be pumped by these boys they think love them.  Girls are willing to hide drugs for these boyfriends.  These boyfriends are openly disrespecting there mothers for these girls and both sexes are going to jail for the other.  What is the limit to loving someone?

What happened to the getting to know you phase, dinners and the movies?  Now, it's kiss, sex and sex with my friends too, after you sex me.  Kids having kids thinking it's love only to realize a majority of what they thought was love was a joke or rather another number added to say they slept with he or she.

Let's get back to the simple love-rather than doing anything and thinking it's Love Without A Limit that type of love only ends badly.

EYES WIDE OPEN

We often take for granted what has been bestowed upon us-food, shelter, clothing.  Another Thanksgiving has come and gone.  People are already shopping for Christmas, Black Friday was a triumphant event and we see people spending what they don't even possess to please someone else.  My advice to all of you thrifty spenders is to keep your eyes wide open and not fall into more debt in trying to buy someone off for some sort of attention.

Keep in mind when someone gives you something there's always a motive behind it especially when the gift is coming from someone who has some sort of admiration for you and you have no desire to return those feelings back-Advice, again keep your eyes wide open because he or she is looking for something more in return. The better advice would be to not accept the gift at all.

Message here is to be aware, sensitive and alert to not lead people on or take them for granted and not expect for them to be upset and seek retribution.  Eyes Wide Open as opposed to eyes wide shut be on your toes at all times.

REJECTION EQUALS FREEDOM

Rejection isn't a wall that blocks your path its an arrow that directs.  It isn't meant to harm you it's meant to arm you with the knowledge you need to move on to your destiny.

People often reject us because we do not meet their expectations-really try informing them that they have not met your expectations.  Remember you do not need, require or allow others who don't live your life, pay your bills, solve your problems, dictate or direct your feelings.

I love telling people kick rocks and suck my teeth afterwards-think about it-people do things to you that affect you because you allow them to.  Stop inviting them into your world if all they plan to do is pyt you down and continue to reject you.  I say eject them before they think about rejecting you.

The freedom of control is so amazing and taking a stand before someone else trys to control your path is rewarding enough.  Who you rejecting? not me because I am free.

STILL MAKING CHANGES

There are times with each approaching seasonal change we find ourselves needing to make a change or needing a change whether with work or in a relationship.  For some reason we are all afraid of change.

Change is always expected so you can always bet that change is inevitable.  It is about you getting into a frame of ind and accepting change for what it is.  Your attitude has to be positive that you comprehend change is for the better.

Begin by making changes within yourself.  Let go of extra baggage-Let loose, assess, determine and interpret what is best for your life who is best to remain in your circle-Be that man/woman in the mirror-start making a change for the betterment of you.  Change your ways and be who you want to be not what others want you to be.

Design your life path the way you envision it.  Live your best life ever-Still Making Changes isn't meant to be easy if it were, life would be a bore!

Analyze that so we can analyze this! Make the change! Go for it!

IN SEARCH OF SATISFACTION-II

He/she/they are never content with what is right in front of there faces-why is that?  So, what you don't have money hand over fist but you have love.  We know, love doesn't seem to be free anymore or pay the bills but what is true love?  Once you truly learn how to love, there is no need to search for that satisfaction.

Do you really think name brand items will give you the satisfaction you seek?  Are you thinking things should just be handed down to you without you having to work hard for it?  Keep on your search for satisfaction, cause you obviously have not already realized you have a world of worth in front of you.

Here's the test-do you have clean clothes, a place to lay your head, food in your fridge and someone to lean on?  if you have answered yes then what more are you in search of?  Some of us take for granted the riches we already have.  The most important of these riches is someone that loves us back unconditionally.

If you are still in search of satisfaction, then I hope you find what you are looking for.  I encourage you all to please start with looking within what you already have right in front of you.
