My Life, My Philosophy: His Grace.

If and when you make the decision to have or no longer have someone or something a part of your life, or make the choice to never associate with certain people or depart from certain things and/or situations, because it no longer serves you purpose, and/or is of no value but a hindrance, (and, not that you owe anyone an explanation nor have to prove yourself, 'cause clearly you don't, if they still remain in your life.) however; it all comes down to reason, values, morals, self dignity, self worth, standards, and first and foremost there's self love and self respect, and of course, with the exception of always giving extended love and respect towards others. We all deserve to be understood, a chance, and mostly we all deserve to be loved and cared for. It's a decision and a choice one makes, NO ONE else, but, that one person. This is your life, nothing or no-one can enter it, be a part of it, have an effect, an influence, and/or an impact unless you allow it. Everyone who enters your life enters with reason, purpose, and sometimes simply for a lesson, which one should proudly accept, moving forward. But, when it's time to give, give, and when time is up, it's up, and only you can be the judge of that, ultimately. Don't be so hard on yourself and/or on others.

Effort, I'm a strong believer in effort. Builder of people, it's what I do, it's what I believe in, and what I breathe; it's a God given gift which I obtain, and live by---always have, always will. I may be down at times, my world in full turmoil or in full force chaos, however, it will never limit me in being a supporter, an encourager of people, an inspiration, a motivator for others in helping build their dreams and fulfill their goals. I don't look for love, true love finds me, and I welcome it, cherish it, hold onto it and definitely fight for it, because no love is ever wasted love. Love is love, and we all love differently; love feels good, as it should, but sometimes it hurts, and that's okay too, however, most importantly, love is patient, it's kind, and love sometimes takes time: love is worth the effort. This world has plenty of critics, and not enough encouragers, encouragers of love and life.

You cannot give me what already belongs to me, it's mine--exactly how God intended it to be. It's not what others may think or say, no, it's what God says that counts, and I solely and utterly trust in that. This here is my illustration, the book I go by, if this here finds you well, wonderful, my mission was accomplished, and if  it offends you in any way shape or form, if this here at all makes you a tad bit uncomfortable, with all due respect, that's your problem, not mine and I will never apologize for it--mission accomplished. Sometimes the truth is very blunt, harsh, it's unjustifiable, it stands alone--it's the truth; I live for, live by it unapologetically. Be a lover of people, a lover of life--love with compassion: love yourself.
(Remember, it's not always about you.) At what point do you stop love? You don't: Love knows no end.

God bless, may the love of Christ exalt you and yours, always. #GodsPeaceBeWithYou. #ThankYou2014 #Welcome2015

Fairness Failed but Then Came Change:

Life isn't fair and people make it seem as though it is or should be. Truth is you just have to make changes where change is needed to make life fair for you. Never worrying what others may say or think. Never try and justify what you're feeling or how you view your own life. Go with what you know to be true to you, followed by the higher source you may have your faith and belief in. Your truth is the truth and shouldn't be compromised for another nor for what's not righteously right for you. #Hebrews13:5 ❤

Sacrificial Love

Are you being self-serving in a relationship? If so, where is the love in that? Real love is far from selfishness, being egotistical and a spirit full of pride. It has everything to do with providing, giving of yourself to your significant other with their best interest at hand and for their highest good. When you desire someone, be sure you have good intentions for needing to love them simply because you love and need them in your life. Ask yourself; are your purest reasons towards your loved one nothing less than to give them the best of your love you can provide them with, without any connected ulterior motives? Love conquers all, and heals a multitude of wounds, and it doesn't cover up the surface--you can't expect it to grow if you continue to open the wounds that have yet to heal. Don't be selfish, be self-sacrificial.

Be A Blessing Not A Curse

Don't miss your blessings by focusing on what others are being blessed with. Don't miss what God has in-store for you. Instead fixate your mind, re-position yourself towards the opportunities God has laid before you. God blesses everyone in different ways and that's perfectly great, because it is then we see the marvelous wonders of His great majesty. Count your blessings, not that of others, don't be envious, but happy, happy that another is happy and blessed as well. Share your goals and dreams with one another. Be a supporter, encourager and an inspiration for whomever you may come in contact with, whomever God lies before your path. You can't help someone with one hand and knock them down with the other. Rejoice for what God has done in your life and theirs and what He's yet to unfold. As long as you're still breathing, life ain't over until God says it's over. Speak life not death, share love not hate, pray to be more compassionate and less cruel. One cannot give what they do not posses and I don't mean luxury, riches and jewels, rather love, peace, wisdom and more love, which are more precious and most valuable, priceless gifts one could ever obtain. Everyone is going through a struggle as you are too. Remember, if God could pull you out of that pit He can pull anyone from their hell too; God is no respecter of persons, He loves us all. His grace is sufficient while His mercy is everlasting. Let grace cover your grace and aim and head towards your mark. We're all trying to get somewhere. ♥

Iron Sharpens Iron

It's not about being negative, proving someone else wrong, or being right. It's about being respectful, true, being trustworthy, and being your authentic self; with you, others, in any and all relationships. Whether it's an intimate, business related or acquaintanceship; being loyal, being honest, being real--they go a long way, and should always remain. After all, that is what we all desire, right? Granted, not everyone will abide or possess the same beliefs, fundamental values and/or morals. Under any and all circumstances, no-one should ever have to compromise who they are, for you are all you've got. Some will understand, some will not, and not everything can or will be explained. We all have different perspectives. As difficult as it may seem, we have to accept the fact that not everyone has the same views, and it's not our place to try and figure out life for others. We can only support each other, and hope we all learn from one another, just like iron sharpens iron so does a man sharpen another. #ToEachTheirOwn & #ToThineOwnSelfBeTrue

Nothing More, Nothing Less

I understand who you are, and I understand how you feel. When we forgive each other our hearts are being healed, believe it. I am speaking to your spirit. I trust life for bringing us both together. I appreciate it. One heart, one commitment. All this time, I have been trying to come to a conclusion and my conclusion is we aren't perfect, and there's beauty in imperfection, yes, we are light but we also at times carry a little darkness. I've discovered, I am, you are, nothing more, nothing less. We are one. #SpiritualLove

I'll Always Wonder

I miss you, and I haven't even met you yet, I know you, you're not easy to forget. I miss your touch, but I don't even know what it feels like, yet I can feel you, all over. I miss your presence, yet I don't even know what it's like to have you physically near, but I sense you here, almost tangible. I miss your radiant light, I'm fully persuaded by the intensity and am drawn completely to it, the visibility is quite a sight. I miss your soul, that I know, when we met you caught mine and it yielded to you. Our souls were never about temporal happiness to brace the ego, it was more like a flare with such a brilliant energy flow of the two, combined for the greater good. It was as two rivers joined as one, the atmosphere filled with a magnetic force, both to form a whole from such an incredible source. You're the reason. Will we ever know....

Ask.Believe.Receive.

It's important to recognize the significance in asking, believing, and receiving. A lot of times we ask, believe, and sometimes receive, and sometimes not. There may be times we ask for certain things in life but aren't ready or equipped for. It's imperative that you are ready and prepared to receive what you ask for, what you're believing in, to receive what rightfully belongs to you, and what you rightfully deserve. Sometimes we miss our blessings because we ask prematurely, without guidance or clarity. Pray about it, talk to God about it, seek the holy spirit about, ask your guides for advise and or direction. Whatever your preference, be sure to be prepared and equipped for whatever it is you may be asking for, believing in, and what you're expecting to receive.

Looking At The Bright Side:

At last, I've looked at life in a different way, through different eyes, in a brand new way; a total new perspective, which has opened my natural and spiritual eyes even more so. The outpouring energy of those who surround me is almost impossible to put into words. Is this what I've been missing? If it is, it was so worth seeking for, and is. I'm utterly content and pleased with the way it's been turning out and where this new journey is making its way. No matter what the circumstances are, what situation you're currently in that you feel you don't see the brighter end of it all. Well, I am here to tell you that sometimes you have to depart from the old, unpleasant things, people who have nearly consumed, have taken every bit of your life and breath right from you. When you feel that it's your time to let go, let it all go -- release. Take those conditions and see them as stepping stones that will help get you towards your new path. Seek and find what you've been missing, what wonderful things await you. Life is beautiful and ultimately, it is up to you what you make of it, how you handle, and face it. Put yourself out there and give YOU a chance to make the changes you need to make to bring fulfillment into your life and others. There is always a brighter side to everything, but sometimes some things need a little more digging for you to find that side, that path. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. Why wait? When you already have the light, and that light is in you, you are the light. Make a decision, make the choice and act on it. Follow your heart, your gut instinct, they're smarter than you think. And don't look back.

A Woman Of Wisdom And Strength

Sometimes even the strongest men need a strong woman to be there for them. to hold them up, and help re-build their strength. (and/or sometimes you just have to let them go!) ;) #KingsAndQueens
