The best thing I’ve ever done for myself was let my guard down to the right people rather than the wrong people. I don’t surround myself with anyone giving out bread crumbs or think it’s okay to mistreat me when they can treat everyone else with respect. I guess as you age you start to value yourself more and know you deserve to be treated humanely. And you should be brave enough to do the same onto others no matter the circumstance or whether you’ll get something in return.
Joy Of God Reflection
I read something to day that really touched my soul from the twitter account Islamic Thinking. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do:
God’s planning is better than our own, so let God see from you a determined patience, & you’ll soon see from God what will give you joy.
I am taking it one day at a time. Love is patient. Love is kind.

The Power of Prayer
Anything you want, write it down in a wish book. Look at it every day you come home to rest your head. Pray about it everyday. I started one this year to help me release negativity from my life.
Whatever a man thinks comes to him… even negativity. I’m listening to my prayer book. I want happiness. God always provides second chances. What God puts together man can’t destroy.

2013 Living With A Purpose
As 2012 comes to a close, I’ve made a commitment to live with a purpose. My professional life is going to have a purpose. I think I want to take a professional path in public relations. I don’t know where it will lead me but I’m ready to give it my all. I think it’s my passion. That & journalism. Is it a such thing as journalism for human rights? I’m not sure but that’s my aim or at least a passion I’d like to pursue in 2013.
What else is on my mind?
I want to be a more supportive romantic partner. I’ve always been a person focused on professional goals but this year I want more balance. I want a life worthy of living. I want to spend more time with my loved ones – family, my better half and my wonderful and loyal friends. I’ll make the time. A job is just a job but these interpersonal relationships are my life. They make living worth the adventure. Last but certainly not least, I’m going to put my trust in God and devote my life to whatever purpose God may have for me. How will I know? I’ll feel that gut feeling.
Tomorrow, the last day of 2012, I’m taking the time to create my book of blessings. I’ve been told to ask of God what I need/want and God will provide the best for me. This is me asking. I’m ready to give 2013 all I’ve got. My game face is on. I’m ready. I claim it.
How To Not Waste Your Time
If you’re sick of playing emotional games in the romance department, the best thing you can do is ask yourself honestly why are you dating. Do you know why you’re dating? It’s an important question to ask yourself. Are you dating to hookup? Are you dating to rebound from a painful relationship? Are you dating to settle down with someone? The answer to this very question will help you focus on what you want and make dating easier. Immediately ask the person you’re dating why he or she is dating you. It might be painful eye opener but at least you’re not wasting your eligible years dating someone you can never see yourself making a life with you. Good luck.
The Dreamer Who Claimed It
Starting this week, anything I dream to do with my life I’m going say out loud everyday to myself. I’m going to claim it. I have a feeling it will keep me motivates. The last thing I want to become is a Dreamer who stopped dreaming and stopped believing I could be better.
Counseling Saves Lives
There’s nothing to be ashamed about getting counseling. The majority of us have experienced something disturbing in our childhoods &/or adulthoods. Some of us try to erase it & live with it or pretend it never happened. Some of us make it become our life/ destroy our life. Know you don’t have to hold that dark passenger with you,your whole life. There’s ways to cope & even more ways to go from a negative experience to a more fulfilling life. It takes time. It takes courage. & violence really doesn’t resolve the pain. Neither does emotional resentment or abuse.
