Comparison is the Thief of real Joy

Image
" When you go on Facebook it's  kind of like you're going through everyone's pictures and everyone's life, like, oh, that looks like so much fun, oh they're so cool, they're so pretty, they have all these cool pictures" It's so hard to not compare yourself to other people like that's one of the hardest things ever in life. As human beings we just get tempted to compare ourselves to other people in the same field as us. You just feel like you don't have anything, and you just begin to belittle your own achievements. Negative Comments Today the chance of being scrutinized is greater because more people interact through a protected anonymous filter, potentially making self-esteem issues more sensitive. If we find out that we do not have as many likes or comments as our friends in the network, we will feel less confident. Offensive comments can mentally attack us and leave bad emotional scars.Some victims suicided to fini...

7 Things To Do When Relationships Are in Trouble

Image
When relationships are in trouble, it becomes difficult to have a normal, honest conversation. If you start one, the other person will refuse to engage, or become defensive or combative. When relationships begin to break down, suspicion creeps in. The other person stops putting in any effort to build back the relationship or make it work. The other person begin to question motives.  At this point they often withdraw completely, and it becomes very difficult for you to connect with them. Or if you manage to get with them, they are mentally or emotionally withdrawn from you. Even if you're together, you're not relating to one another. Speak well of them afterwards After you have talked to them and have tried everything possible to save the relationship, make it a goal to have no unfinished business with them. Whether you have resolved the issues or mended the relationship, or had to part ways, you don't want any kind of grudge between yourselves, so ...

Give A Woman....Her Worth 👑

Image
"A mother, living well in her God-ordained role,  is of great beauty and inestimable value  to the future of history of any generation." -Sally Clarkson  Give A woman Incomplete.... A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, Nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs. A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value And must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted,  it soon disappears. Give A woman Incomplete.... A good woman has a dash of inspiration,  A dabble of endurance.  She knows that she will, at times, Have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them. A good woman knows her past, Understands her pre...

They were in it together.....

Image
"What made it so beautiful was the fact that they were both  so focused on fulfilling their dreams..... So committed to their goals and living life of purpose that they didn't have time to waste fighting each other.... They were aware of the odds, they just weren't fazed by them.... They knew they could do it alone, They just didn't have to.... It was seeing the other risk it all that increased their faith.... It was like taking the hits and getting it wrong but knowing regardless of how it went  you didn't have to search for support... They understood what it really meant to be there for one another... They knew they had a responsibility to each other's potential and they did not take that lightly... They were focused on winning, but they did not want the type of victory that meant losing each other... Nah they wanted the kind that wins that makes people believe in possibilities again.... They wanted to live their dreams ...

10 Ways to Say No and Be Nice

Image
A well-placed "No" can not only save you time and trouble. It can save your life: to anything that is hurting you, to standards that no longer serve you, to people who drain you of your creativity and expression, to beliefs that are not true to the real you. How many times have you heard yourself saying yes to the wrong things: overwhelming requests, bad relationships, time-consuming obligations? Good things can happen to you when you learn to say no.   When you protect yourself from the people and situations that will hurt you. When you shield yourself from the stories and myths your colleagues, friends, family and institutions use to control you. When you finally say no to the inner conditioning and psychology that your brain forces on you in its misguided attempts to protect you. Here are ten ways to say no and be nice: 1) Let me think about that. 2) Here's what will work for me. 3) Can I get back to you. 4) That doesn't work for...

Loyalty is Rare....

Image
"If you cheat on someone who is willing to do anything for you, You actually cheated yourself out of true loyalty" Never settle for people with such behavior.  It's either they step up or step out. It's easy to convince ourselves that we should keep our expectations  and standards low to avoid getting hurt or let down.   It's easy to look in the mirror and see all our flaws and imperfections.  It's easy to make excuses and live with the disappointment rather than to leave. When you care about a person,  you see them in a way that is often inaccurate.  Sometimes what and who we think a person is  doesn't match up who they are in reality.  It's easy to put on rose-colored glasses when we love someone. "I can be changed by what happens to me.  But I refuse to be reduced by it" Nothing inspires the heart the most other than allegiance Faithfullness, fidelity, obedience, homage, respect, dev...

Don't Confuse Infatuation and Love

Image
Jumoke  chicly dressed in a red long sleeved chiffon blouse tucked in a black skirt with an ebony scarf coiling expertly at her nape was not feeling well. She knew she could ask for a driver to take her home,  But somehow she wanted to do it herself. "Please God. Tell me that I am dreaming" She pleaded fervently. Jumoke remained desolate, tears stung and flowed, down her eyes, her teenage dreams and aspirations of growing up, came crashing down her face, only if wishes were horses, she would be riding high. For all her resolutions not to sulk today, she was not feeling well. She must not lose hope, albeit she refused to be despaired. Suddenly the car jerked, violently slouching forward, her eyes flew open and BASH!!! Jumoke would have fallen out of the car if not for strong arms that caught her....... TELL WHEN IT IS RAINING Love is a beautiful thing but some people stain it with their behavior. It's almost as if they lose their brains. They shirk responsibility,...

Apologize, Forgive, Forget!

Image
The first to apologize is the bravest The first to forgive is the strongest The first to forget is the happiest This quote is very dwelling on our inner beings A lot of people find it hard to apologize  They think they are the ones traumatised the most The first to apologise is the bravest It does not mean you are wrong! You just value your relationship more than the argument You lift yourself up from being bitter and agonized  You let yourself free and come out stronger Its easy to forgive but it is harder to forget Forgiveness heals you from pain and malice You wash and cleanse yourself by this very act God even insists we forgive our enemies So they can forgive you too  There is no love without forgiveness And there is no forgiveness without love If you live everyday like its your past you will be unhappy You wont see new doors of opportunities to take you unawares You won't see life for what it really is...

Behind every real man is his past, not his woman

Image
"Behind every real man is his past, n ot his woman. A real man keeps his queen by his side, n ot behind him." ~realmenmovement  Not every man has his 'alone' past behind him. Some men are so careful not to spoil their past . They have focused, secluded and purpose driven lives.... They know where they are going, they have direction, how to achieve it, and almost how to get there!!! It is very important for them to choose their thoughts carefully, whatever they surely dream is bound to become manifest. They might display what looks like insensitivity.... That is only because they are focused on the future..... "It is not a lack of love but a lack of friendship  that makes unhappy marriages" -Friedrich Nietzsche And when they meet their queen...... The woman molded for them, their 'help-meet' What happens??? Will they give up their so perfect or non perfect past life And allow the woman of their dreams ...

Just Because She Has High Standards

Image
"If you truly love her, you'd want what's best for her; whether that includes you or not" Do not confuse high standards with high maintenance.    A woman can be low maintenance with very high standards.  She invests in her friends, family and loved ones  but expects them to treat her with class and respect.  This woman is ecstatic to invest her heart, soul and spirit  into building friendships and relationships with her loved ones,  but she expects that the other person reciprocate as genuinely as she does. "Just because she has high standards  doesn't mean she's high maintenance.  Do not confuse the two"  -Steve Maraboli She recognizes her natural beauty,  and surrounds herself with those who radiate positive energy.  She is incredibly selective in choosing who she spends her time with.  They say you are the average of the five people you are most likely seen with,  and th...
