HEARTBREAKING

It's heartbreaking to let a friendship/relationship die, but, difficult as that may be, it's far better than to watch it turn ugly.
When someone -- anyone -- shuts the door in your face, despite your efforts to stay amicable, it's recommended that you give him up, walk away and don't look back. 
Both of you will be happier that way.

"AHA"

"Aha" moments take me by surprise! 
But then surprises aren't really surprising, not when they are being sought after --- for who is not constantly searching for something out of the ordinary!?

If I weren't looking for a certain "Aha" experience how would I know when it appears!? 

"Aha"

EUPHORIA

Oh, the heady days; remembering how it was, being pursued...persuaded...pampered...and put on a pedestal. 
The euphoria of loving and being loved.

There's never a dull moment with love in the air and everywhere ...

I BELIEVE

How not to believe in God!? --- when everything, even the ordinary and mundane, speaks of His presence. 
A mother's love ... a baby's cry ... a lover's touch ... a friend's embrace ... a stranger's help ... an answered prayer are sweet reminders that He cares. 

A magnificent sunrise ... the aroma of freshly cut grass ... dancing dandelions... the order of the universe are evidence that He is in control. 

My verdict is clear. I cannot help but believe ...

LIVE, AND LET LIVE

Affirmation, approval and acceptance from a dear one can lift your timid and weary spirit so high to a point that you would dare attempt great feats with confidence, clarity, and courage. 
A caustic remark, released on impulse, from the same lips can be as devastating in magnitude. 
The mindless assault leaves you down-trodden, reeling with pain and frozen with rejection. You are left to lick your own wounds.

Such is the impact and power others wield over our emotions. 
On the other hand, don't we all too often hold another at mental ransom for unreasonable demands? 
We do.

This is a game for fools. The wise shun it. 

Live, and let live... everyone wins.

INSTIGATOR

Often it is pride that gets in the way of our happiness, and arrogance, the subtle instigator, is applauding ...

JUST SAYING

It has been said that the person who least deserves your love probably needs it the most ...

WILLFULL MANIPULATION

When you are angry it is much easier to find fault, judge unfairly and blame others for what may be your mistake. 

It's natural to criticize, condemn and some of us even resort to attack as a form of defense! 

Consider this for a moment. 

In your life everything that has to happen, happens. Everything doesn't come about by chance but is willfully manipulated by your every thought, attitude, deed, misdeed, decision, indecision, action and inaction.You have everything to do with the present situation - desirable or otherwise - you are in. 

Feign surprise but don't be fooled! 

Blame it on being at the wrong place at the wrong time or mixing with the wrong crowd or whatever. But you're the mastermind behind it all. By all that you do or don't do; all that you say or don't say, you create the present events of your life. 

Some time in the past you've already set the appointment, a date for that which you are going through today. 

Our future starts here and now. If it's inevitable that we reap what we sow, perhaps we should be more selective of the seeds we plant...

CREATIVITY

Creativity is daring to stand out; to break the norm. 
Creativity is courage to take the first bold step. 
Creativity generates power and perseverance to see your idea through to completion. 

Be confident to develop your talents and awaken the genius in you...

FLAUNT IT

You know the saying: "If you have it, flaunt it!"
And I'd say why not ... flaunt your better self? 
Show your generosity; display your affection and filial piety; let loose your impeccable manners; be lavish in kind deeds; overflow with integrity. 
Splash and splurge your good side and don't apologize for your extravagance! 

Celebrate your relationships and friendships with aplomb and flourish. 
Forget stinginess. Give your best. 

Go ahead, flaunt it...
