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...

ENGAGED AND INTERESTED

13,800 emails from just one person in thirty six months is pretty convincing. You are being thought of frequently! 

Keeping this up takes a lot of discipline, persistence, enthusiasm and obviously the relationship between them must be good.

Enemies don't write; they send hate mails! 

It takes both hands to clap and obviously the sender and receiver are happy with each other.
Still the effort is to be applauded.

People come into our lives and leave for various reasons. The ones who stay are few. This is the normal cycle. We try to keep family and friends engaged and interested the best way we can. 

Whether it's through email, phone call, short messaging, beer during happy hour or sharing a meal, make time.
Investing in strong, trusting, and enduring relationships bring huge and heartwarming returns.

Make someone's day!

BE THE EXCEPTION

If you think she's tyrannical, selfish, greedy and a pain and you're nothing like her, think again!
Given the same circumstances you are just as capable to react and behave in the same crude manner; perhaps even worse.

But thank God we have Freedom Of Choice! 
Despite the trying and unfavorable situations that are thrown at us, we can choose to conduct ourselves in total contrast to the norm. 

Rise above one's ego and be the exception...

DO-GOODER

Some lessons are harder to learn than others.

It doesn't always pay to be a hurried and overly enthusiastic do-gooder. 
The recipient, not used to such (unwarranted) attention, may jolly well misread your good intention and rather than thank you for your kindness and generosity, may feel hurt, slighted and even insulted. 
He thinks you are exposing his vulnerability and weaknesses. That can be quite difficult for him to swallow. 

So, be wise and sensitive to other people's feelings and reactions. 
Better be safe than sorry!

EMOTIONAL BANK

Never run on empty! It's foolish to even try.
When our emotional bank is running low we are bound to be edgy, nervous and angry. 
At the slightest hint of anything that's remotely provocative or uncalled for, there could be a flare-up. 
Emotional bankruptcy is upsetting. 

Make frequent deposits into our emotional bank - in the form of positive thoughts, happy memories, hopeful future, noble dreams, wholesome activities, healthy pursuits, loving relationships - and these will help make any and every inevitable withdrawal 'no problem at all; piece of cake!'

GOOD SEED vs BAD SEED

Hate + Greed + Ignorance + Denial = Destruction
Love + Generosity + Wisdom + Empathy = Growth

The seed we sow determines the fruit. 
Our choices, thoughts, words, actions and decisions will come back to either haunt us or hail us. We hold our destiny.

That's the way it is.

OUTSTANDING

It's a challenge when you're beautiful; tougher still if you are also witty, sharp, smart, stylish, sensual and super efficient. 

Combine those with a genteel, caring, compassionate, sensitive spirit and you're bound to invite unwelcome attention and cause more than a few raised eye brows!

Not everyone's jaw will drop in open admiration at your distinct qualities. 

Instead you might even be the target of animosity, attack and slander. 

That's the price for being outstanding!

Be open to constructive criticism and change where appropriate but never be intimidated to be less than all you can be...
