Give and take!

In life there is always a give and take.  As a little child we may not be taught this right away.  Some parents will buy the younger child a present on the older ones birthday so that the younger one doesn't feel bad about not receiving anything.  This is not a practice that  engaged in because life is never going to be so nice to your feelings.  You have to give a little to get a little; in those situations, you have to give up a little peace and quiet so that the child begins to learn the lessons of life that you don't always get what you want but you can be patient and wait for your turn or you can cry and have a tantrum and risk the chance of not getting what you want since all around you are so annoyed.  This being said, the lesson is one that some people still haven't grasped the concept of even as an adult.

I know lots of different types of people.  Business people, entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors all the way down to those who have decided to live the street life.  Within these relationships I take a stance of watch and learn.  The same would be said for those in my family.  Watching and taking from them a lesson is one of the greatest aspects of my life.  The point of watching and learning is so that each person can be treated accordingly.  I give my attention to take a lesson on how to treat those in my life.  The only thing about doing this is that I always expect to get back what I give and as I have grown I realized that in general people are very selfish.  Taking the time to learn and treat people according to their special needs is too much for most.  Therefore, there are those who believe that they are singularly the most important person that exists.  They refuse to give a little attention to learning someone else even if it means that they could solve an issue for others.  The sad part about this type of person is that they will never be able to get all of their needs met from others because they aren't willing to help the other persons needs get met.

I would like to challenge everyone to give a little of themselves and take a lesson from the person you are giving to; it will open up a new understanding.

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
