White towels

If we are Facebook friends you should have an idea of what is on my mind today.  When do you know the time is right for you to give up?  This got a few people talking and giving me their straight thoughts on this subject.

To give up, in my mind, means that you have admitted defeat and you are tapping out.  That being said, I am the type of person that will be relentless in my pursuit of most things.  Knowledge of any even the small things is a great tool, always.  The comments received on my page today were all well thought out and each had s good point.  Here is the summary of that conversation.

You should never give up.  This doesn't mean that at some point you will need to take a different tack.  You may have to examine then reexamine then dissect and examine again what it is that you are trying to attain.  I really liked that piece of information because it helped me realize that I am that person.

Being that type of person is what has helped me to be able to interview a person and walk away having sink of my questions answered adequately.  If a question is being asked and the person is dancing around it, I have to ask it in another way, and on and on until the dance is done.  Relentless in pursuit!

Others said that once you've reached a particular age, you know what is ok with you and what is not.  Therefore, when the not ok shows up and you know it's not helping in the elevation of your life it is time to let it go--give it up. I also feel that is a true statement. That statement led me to ask if you give up on people and not your dreams then?

A few still said never give up.  Then a few said you really have to pray about it and all for that person to be removed from your life if it's not a useful situation.  My thoughts on that is if your dream lines up with your God given gift, the obstacles are there so you can learn a particular lesson.  You definitely don't want to quit under those circumstances.  Now when a person is involved, if you have the live of God in your heart and you give love, those Thai mean you no good will drop away by the grace of God.  The ones that God placed there, will remain and you may just have to ask for the guidance on how to deal with this person so you can get what God is giving.

No weapons formed against me shall prosper!  This is a constant prayer because with mercy and grace you don't ever have to give up because true wrong will give up on you.

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...
