Sufficient Faith:

Faith: faith is the substance of all things hoped for, the faith to see even things we can't physically see or things that are intangible, but Faith, is going beyond that leap, stretching our spiritual wings and know that our faith will soar like eagles wings that will lift us up from where we were and ascend us to our next journey, towards our next point of healing, next point of grace, next level of mercies, and our next perpetual breakthrough. We have to realize, understand, recognize, and accept that faith alone is all we've got, and all we've got to work with to stir up our current position, condition to awaken our inner spirit, soul to build up our inner strength, passion, and the ability to obtain self-empowerment. We have to work at our own faith, we are our own builders of faith, it's up to us whether we take that leap and have faith enough to take it and you to the next level of divine purpose. There are times when we have to take the faith we already have and use it to take us to yet another leap of faith. There will always be different levels of faith. Nonetheless, it's our ultimate choice to exercise it. Now, is the time to get up and stir it up, because it's not over yet, and neither are you.

No Strings Attached:

Ultimately when it comes to giving, it doesn't come with strings attached. I don't keep count of what's owed to me in return. Basically when I give of myself, I do without a hidden agenda. Why? Because I genuinely give without expectations. Low and behold, if anyone knows what it's like to be without, what it's like to be ignored when you desperately needed someone's understanding, or simply just having someone there by your side, or to open yourself, heart and not be heard, to care and never be cared for--been there, and even then, I gave what I could give. Essentially I give because I receive, not to mention I'm aware of the value I carry in my heart. To allow the world, anything, or anybody keep me from sharing what I've got to give is totally unacceptable. When I give, I give my all, and consider me all in. We all must give to get, and get to give without expectations, without reservations, or conditions. All in, no other exceptions. I've also come to the conclusion that sometimes we have to be more sensitive with others and learn that not everyone can give what you can, or on the level you can, just be thankful and grateful for who they are and accept the level of what they can give, which is good enough, because you never know what hell or heaven the are currently living in at the moment. Otherwise you will live miserably in your near future because you never took the time to understand that not everyone is like you or can give what you can give, you'll always put expectations on people and not be compassionate towards them. Giving is for-giving and giving is a way of life, what makes the karma flow, and a little something we all desire.

Fill The Void

In my experience, I've learned to just be and go with the flow, if you let go of someone or something, just leave it alone. In the mean time, just let it be. Like they say; "if it's meant to be, it will be," if not, that's fine too. However, in this moment, live it up and just be grateful and thankful. After all, life could be worse. You will never be given more than what you can bear, whatever the case, it'll only make you stronger and wiser. Stay joyful, no matter what, and remember, happiness is temporal but joy in the soul is yours forever! Sometimes there are just somethings you can't do anything about, but, you can change your perception about it and change your attitude towards the situation. Let it be, and you'll be free. Easier said than done, I know, however, the least you can do is practice. I did, I do, and am. 

Practice Makes Perfect:

Are we so eager to find a reason to learn a lesson to lessen the pain in a break-up from being in an unhealthy, unsatisfying relationship? Does everything really happen for a reason, considering your madly in-love with the person that has your heart?

How far are you willing to go? How much more would consider investing? How much more are you willing to continue to learn from your current situation? Or have you given up? Have you learned all there is to know from this experience?

Maybe you'll consider re-positioning yourself and allowing it to change your mind, to get rid of old selfish thinking, breaking old habits, and creating anew. Try to be more understanding, willing,and less critical, but most importantly being more forgiving...loving is for-giving and for-giving is love, however. Practice makes perfect and right now I find myself practicing. 

Nothing Else Matters.

There is absolutely nothing I cannot face with God by my side, in my life, by his grace, mercy and unconditional love. The truth is I'm not afraid nor fearful of whats to come, perhaps a little timid, scared, but with a great cause. The thought of not ever seeing you again, the day you will be completely out of my life, forever--what will become of me? I will never see you again, ever. My worst thought would be to lose you, my loved ones, the ones I've loved and/or love I can't begin to fathom the thought. I've seen death right before my eyes, felt it, experienced death with my own life; unpleasant departures. My days seem much longer with time, with the thought that you will disappear from me forever. How can this be true? How? This was not how it was supposed to play out. I loved you then, love you now, and I will forever love you with the same love, and more for all eternity. You will live in my dreams, always. You took my heart,  you have my heart, and you'll have it until I stop breathing. It's yours and nothing or no-one could ever take that away, ever. I've loved you for all of my life, even when I didn't know, because you were meant for me and I for you, you were created for me, my soul-mate. In love with you--from the beginning 'til the end. Yes, someone loved you, loves you that much, and that someone is me. If you must know, you had my heart before any other, you were always before them. I love you, darling; Forever, and Always. Always, and all with the love God has given me up until this very moment. I'm so very sorry for all the awful things I've ever said or done to hurt you, that only God knows I'm guilty of because I was angry, hurt and/or upset. I'm so very sorry. How could someone ever hate another whom they truly love with all that they are, with their whole being, their entire existence? I couldn't. My heart....

Second Chances

Chances that turn into a million too many insanely choices: If something or someone you left alone, avoided because of its bitter taste, and you knew at the time with all that you know this would seem almost too impossible to change or improve yet you still held onto hope and proceeded to believe, while keeping in mind the whole logical reason you left it to begin with was because it was soul crushing, unbalanced, unhealthy yet you allowed yourself to be vulnerable and receive it back into your life, to give it another shot, another try, however the taste is still the same after all this time, after everything, yet, still no change----why keep it, or continue to pursue it, to endure it? There comes a point where realization kicks in, knocks at the door and helps you to understand and accept the plain fact, the truth that sometimes, somethings, people, situations in this world will never change, they're permanent, and there's absolutely nothing you can do to change it and definitely nothing you can do about because you've done all that you can do, been down this road more than once, etc., etc.. Eventually, the only option(s) you have or are left with are to remain, and to carry on. Time is the most valuable element in life we all posses and its something we can never replace nor regain, ever. Everything takes work and effort, but there are certain things along your journey you simply have to let up, shake off, leave alone, leave them there and carry on. Stay positive, keep doing you and work with what you've got to take you to another level of greatness, a level that will take you where you truly need to be, where you belong right now, at this very moment and on to the next. Some "second chances" are better used when used by you, give yourself a chance to renovate you to become a better you; everything else in your life will eventually fall into its place, eventually.

Finally, You Realize:

It is just as important to know what you do not want or need as much as it is to know what you do want and need.

Sometimes when you go through a period of great difficulty and struggle, it is so that you can finally realize what you do NOT want or need in your life. Then finally, at long last, you can embrace what you DO want and need. Life has a beautiful way of expressing herself to you...Wisdom is her name, it may take time, and time again to finally receive it, understand it and gain it. And one must always obtain an open mind, a receptive heart, and a willing spirit in order to obtain it.

The Results Of Hidden Agendas:

Received some awesome news this afternoon, along with some disappointing news that a close and dear to my heart, person received today, (my heart ached in the same), and mind you this all took place at the same exact time, which I might add was kind of difficult to be extremely happy, when I felt sad at that very moment as well. But, you know, we can't always control everything, nor the fact that some people purposely have hidden agendas that obviously we have no control over, and well, truth is, they do somehow have an impact on our lives whether we like it or not, be it good or bad, (but usually bad; hypothetically thinking), whether we accept to face it, and deal with it like the bigger person that most of us are, and chances are we will. To the conclusion of it all, you have to immediately tell yourself that no matter what others may say, or do, you are still a champion at the end of the day, nothing can bring you down or keep you there, because you belong on top as the conqueror that you are and always have been. You're still here, that alone signifies, gives you the opportunity, and the chance to still make it better than it ever was! Although, this may call for major, uncomfortable adjustments, but the possibilities are endless! And remember, there is an all knowing God! Let God handle them, while He takes care of you!  The ending results: are God's, not theirs! And that, defeats their purpose of it all. So what are you waiting for?!?! #AllSmilesBaby #KeepMoving #DontSettle  #NoStress #OnlyJoy ♥ 

Knowing To Trust You:

Ultimately, you have to trust what you know. It may seem ridiculous, others may not understand, however you have to trust you. You’ll receive peoples opinions, listen to their reasoning of thought, but when it's all said and done, you have to go with your heart, trust your instinct. There is absolutely no-one else who knows what's best for you other than you. Connect, surround yourself with individuals who care about your happiness, well being, rather than people who want to see you fail and hurt. Limit yourself to those who surround you that believe you’re capable, strong enough to handle making a couple mistakes or bad choices. Stick with people who know the importance and the value of experience, who have the courage enough to motivate, support you through their wisdom, knowledge, or simply through the word of God. There are large quantity of people who never in their life have experienced real love because they encircle themselves with weak friends, they take their advice when they tell them to give up, all because they’re more concerned about looking dull, unintelligent  rather than being happy. When you realize, recognize that something is of real worth, quitting is no exception, considering you are infuriated, upset, frustrated, or disappointed, you have to stay steadfast. You can't continually hold onto grudges, foster anger, and go over regrets in your head, repeatedly. It's all about progress, know when to move on, and seeing your life excel. Many times, in many cases people tend to miss out on wonderful experiences that are embedded in their hearts all because they believe, and accept what others believe is right for them, instead of believing what is in their hearts and what would truly make them happy. Grant it, you'll have those who absolutely care for you and hope the best, your family that support you, but ultimately you have to do what's best for you. The choices you make are yours, take the initiative to make them for yourself; if you’re going to live with regrets, make sure they’re not someones choices or decisions that were made for you. Life in many ways can be simple, but not always so easy, you’re going to experience tough challenges, hardships, and some rough battles, however, you must fight for what you know is right, and what's in your heart. Not everybody will have the ability to withstand what you have and will endure in life. You will not be given more than what you can handle. When something isn’t right or good for you, God will reveal it to you when it’s time, and when that takes place be true to yourself, and honest enough to recognize it when that time comes.

Justice Will Arrive:

What sadness to see and know that people can arrive at the point where they feel there's a point of no return, or to continue on where they left off once they lose all self-esteem, become heartless and idle, all because of what they had to endure based on others careless, senseless, hostel, aggressive behavior; (other peoples actions can have an effect on other peoples  lives--good or bad, it's the truth.); which at one point in their lives consolidated others that surrounded them, (and probably still do), they criticized the notion, swore up and down they would never come to this. Nonetheless, I am here to inform you that there is an all knowing God that sees everything, whom is aware of your surroundings, and every act that takes place in your life--whether it be your actions, or someone's actions against you; Gods divine justice will arrive. They may try and sweep their behavior under the rug, cover the sun with their finger so that in the long run they mistakenly believe they'll avoid crying tears of blood. Perfection doesn't exist, neither am I perfect, however one must know their value, where they stand, and walk with people that are of value and worth, and on the contrary, people who will help them grow and not push them down with one hand while helping them up with the other. Remember, there is a God.
