: 3. The Topic of This Story Regards Being Rich:
Just ask anyone, and most people would define being rich as having lot's of money, and/or material thing's.
However!
It is my belief that, if you're sad, lonely and depressed, money or material things won't change that; On the other hand, if you're happy with yourself, you give love, you accept it back, and you understand the value of sharing and caring for others; Well then! There are people that have all the money and material thing's they will ever need, whom would trade every ounce of it, for just a minute of what you have, so that they too can experience, being rich.
But Beware!
Negativity, prejudice, anger and bitterness can harm you, mentally and physically! If you experience constant thought's of these characteristic's; Then needless to say that among other Issue's, you're distracting yourself from the positive aspects of life; From love, happiness, and yes, even your creativity; Whether you realize it or not, these negative character traits are being imprinted, onto your subconscious mind; when you least expect it, these negative character traits will come out; Often in your speech, perhaps while you're in the midst of others; {Ponder This: Wouldn't you like to discover that one thing, in which you do better than anything else, early in life?} It's very difficult to obtain wealth, If you can't see yourself being rich; Either you're progressing or you're regressing {Going Forwards or Backwards}, there are no in betweens; Once you reach the level of experience and maturity, your age has no bearing on what you say, or do; You should be able to debate anything, with anyone. Carefully monitor your thought's; Always try to think positive; Think of the glass as being half full, rather than half empty; Whenever anything happens, consider it simply a part of life; Acknowledge it, rectify it, or adapt to it, then move on; Don't mentally harbor negativity. These are the measure's you must maintain in order that you have a rich and healthy mentality!
4. Something To Think About!
When the days are long, and the nights are short; It seems that all of your friends and everything is against you, and the only way from where you are is up; Just remember this! Nothing ever remains the same, everything must change; Things will, get better.
Think about it.
" 5. Water! The Miracle Cure "
Your body is made up of mostly water. Therefore! On a daily basis, your body needs 64 .oz of water to function properly {At least 32.oz is necessary}. That's eight 8 .oz glasses daily. Being that most people are up and about eight to twelve hours a day, from the time they wake up, until the time they go back to bed. You should be drinking an eight .oz glass of water every hour to an hour and a half, in order for your body to flush out all the toxin's it has acquired, and it's not necessarily your fault that these toxin's are there, because every area of the body has waste. Your body knows what is supposed to be there, and what Isn't. What most doctor's won't discuss with you is that, by simply Increasing your daily water Intake, you can avoid frequent trip to your physician for dehydration! Water allow your body to flush out most of the things that aren't supposed to be there. You see when you don't drink enough water daily, your body extract's it from other area's; such as your kidneys, your Intestines, your colon, your liver, and even your eyes; And when your body is low of fluids, or has no more water to give, you become dehydrated; A few noticeable symptom’s are, Dark Urin, Blood shot eyes, and among other things moodiness. And that puts you at a high risk for having a stroke, or even a heart attack. But if you are new to the regimen of drinking water, I would suggest that you start with drinking four glasses of water a day, half the amount of water required daily, in order that you avoid this becoming a shock to your system. Then sit back and watch as all of those symptom’s you've experienced, which appeared to be out of control, return to normalcy. So make it a habit of drinking more water daily, and I guarantee you'll feel better. Water! It's The Miracle Cure.
" 6. Depression "
Major Depression, Chronic Depression, or maybe you're suffering from Clinical Depression; Simply put! Depression is a monster in any form. It feeds off the fear that emanates from your subconscious mind. All the things that you never really notice, as you go about your daily routine? Well! Your subconscious mind see's, and records it. And whatever you’re afraid of, it's planted within your subconscious mind, and depression will compound, exploit and magnify it. It warps your thinking, causing you to make decisions that are not within your best interest. It makes you feel worthless; You have difficulty concentrating, and if you've ever experienced it, then you can relate, and you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you see someone sitting alone, and doesn't participate in any engagements! People who never accept any invitations! Don't assume that they are simply a quiet person, or perhaps they're just a loner; Chances are, they're suffering with some form of depression. And if you know someone that suffers with this disorder, give them a hug and tell them, you're not alone. You'll make a friend for life, someone who will stand by your side day or night, no matter what.
Millions of people suffer with some form of depression, and most of these people don't like themselves, and they are afraid of being alone (They're bombarded with thought's of being alone in the world}. Therefore! A few ways to fight depression is learning to like, and be alone with yourself. Make a decision to help others. You now have a story to tell, because there are people who live daily with depression. Since you're so Intent on pointing out all the negative's in your life; Seems only fair that you point out all the positive's too. You might find, that your positive's far out weigh your negative's. Regardless of what others may think of you; You must tell yourself over and over again, I like me, and I will not knowingly do anything to harm myself; Neither will I knowingly do anything that will allow me to being taken advantage of, or harmed by others.
Friend! It can be very difficult being alone, if you don't really like yourself.
" 7. Stay In School, No Matter What "
Recently a young friend expressed that whenever he's at school others make fun of him, and when he's in class, he has a hard time keeping his attention on what the teacher is saying, so I said focusing, he said yeah that's it, I have a hard time focusing, and I always fall asleep anyway, said he's thinking about dropping out of school all together. I told him, lots of young people have the same problem, and there is a medical term for it, it's called A. D. D., Attention Deficit Disorder, he should tell his parents about it as soon as he possibly can, and that he should stay in school and graduate, no matter what. Because school will never really be over.
" The Principle's of Life - Quotes, Metaphors & Advice "
While contemplating on the problems within the world today! I decided to share some of the principle's that were instrumental in guiding me through some of my earlier years! Thinking, perhaps they'll help someone else, who may be struggling with drastic decisions, or curious and confused, of what to expect and be aware of, when dealing with those of a nefarious nature! Sometimes we feel as not to be so censorious and attentive to the characteristic's of others, but never-the-less! We must be realistic, and call it for what it is. There's 91 principle's total. You'll agree with some, and you'll disagree with others. But I believe you'll get the point, so long as you keep an open mind. So get ready for a self-help, common sense approach, to life's daily obstacles!
" Feel free to debate and discuss them in detail with your loved ones "
Let's get started!
1. A quote by Grouch O Marx states:
One way to tell if a man is honest, is to ask him! And if he says yes! Then he must be crooked!
In other words:
Anything that seems too good to be true, usually is; generally, there's a hidden deceptive motive involved.
Some folks can look you in the eyes, smile and lie at the same time and never waiver; If he reminds you of a snake oil salesman, that's probably, because he is. And If you're ever propositioned, before you accept, ask yourself one question; If it's free to everyone! How in the world, are they making a profit? Advertising income only covers your cost, Therein lies the key to their deception.
A Good Product, Doesn't Need To Be Sold ... Constantly,
Once It's Introduced, It Sell's Itself!
2. A fool and his money, is soon parted:
Some people will be your friend, so long as your money last, and things are plentiful.
But Notice!
How they only call or come around, when they need something from you. But after your money is gone, and things are no longer plentiful, they'll drop you like a bad habit. This is the time, when you'll learn, who your true friends are.
3. Let's be real. There's good and evil people in the world. Good people do good deeds for others because they enjoy the sensation you feel, when you help those that are in need. Then again, there are people who do bad deeds, simply because they can. Therefore! Beware of those who will befriend you, merely to gain closeness and deceive you, or people who will tell you it's OK, Don't sweat it friend ... It's cool; or perhaps they'll say! That's right pal; When in fact, it's not OK; It's never been cool, and deep down in your heart, you know it's wrong. You should know that there are causes and effects that follow every issue, whether it's good or bad, and you can be sure that there will be consequences for your actions.
You know that person thats always hanging around you like a little puppy? They never want anything, but whenever you look up, there they are?
That's your true friend! Don't want anything from you! They merely desire, to be near you.
4. Knowing you to be a good natured person! Some people will try to take advantage of this!
They'll ask for your help! knowing you're eager to help others.
Then once the ordeal has passed! They'll say!
You didn't help me at all! or, really, you were of no benefit to me,
You should calmly reply! My intentions were only to be of help; and leave it at that.
Once you realize that this is the kind of character they posess, and should they ever require your help again! Because they will. What goes around, comes around! Thats when you can draw upon this experience and say! I'm sorry: But I remember, that which was said the last time!
Therefore, I prefer not to get involved! Should they persist! Stand firm and repeat your reply! I prefer, not to get involved.
5. You should learn to suspend your judgment until you grasp the entire situation. And judge not in haste. For if things should reverse to where-as you're the one being judged now. The judgment you were so fiercely advocating for someone else, could very well be yours.
6. Always try to keep an open mind about everything. This can be very difficult if you've already made up your mind in advance about something.
7. That in-which you profess to be weakness and rhetoric, may very well be kindness and compassion.
In Other Words:
Some people have a lot of compassion for those less fortunate than themselves, and the one thing they really do well is communicating with other people. They consider this to be their focal-point when dealing with others.
The person you tolerate and look down upon today, could very well be the one person to step up, be a hero and save you tomorrow.
Remember:
If you're nice to people, they'll remember this when they're deciding of whether or not, to help you.
8. You should always think things through first before acting, providing the time available to you.
9. Some people choose to alienate all those around them, and never consider the feelings of others!
Many people are unsure of whether It's them or their companion, who's placing a strain on the relationship. A good way to tell of whether it's you, is to put yourself in their shoes, and notice the way it makes you feel. Recognize your reactions to the things you've said or done. Do you feel bored with yourself? If you do, then that's an Issue you need to address ... soon. Remember all the hateful things you said to your friend? Now! Flip the script! Now that you've had time to think about it, how would you feel, If your friend had said those nasty things to you?
Don't look to someone else to fix your character; That's your job; Learn to be comfortable with yourself enough that you consider the feelings of others. Because! Once it becomes apparent, that you only consider yourself, everyone within your life and everything around you, begins to fade, out of your life!
The moral of this principle is,
Please! Don't be selfish, always consider others.
10. Metaphorically speaking! Try to avoid the burning of bridges between you and your friends! Because you might have to travel back that way again someday!
Ponder This:
You can't go back! You've burned The bridge back! remember?
11. Always keep your friends and loved ones close, and keep your enemies even closer, while keeping your distance, as to be aware of any dangers or deceptions they may attempt.
Although It's best to avoid the creation of enemies altogether.
12. A bird in the hand, beats two in the bush!
Meaning:
A definite one is often better than a possible two; A sure thing is often best; don't be greedy, it just might cost you everything.
13. In most cases, the apple never falls far from the tree, and always finds itself emulating it's predecessor.
Often, we're distracted by interest of Infatuation and sexual connotation; Mostly they prevent us from seeing things, as they really are; But there are similarities between them, even though you may not see it!
To view them more objectively:
Try viewing things from afar, as someone with no interest would.
14. If the only guidance and examples available, to pattern your character after, happens to be those of negative consciousness! Then it's almost certain, that you are destined to walk in their shoes.
Meaning:
If they're rude, selfish and self absorbed! Then chances are, you'll be rude, selfish and self absorbed too; And the sad thing is, you may not even realize it.
This character flaw is inevitable; Unless they take a real hard look at their attitude and make a change, or you cling to someone with more positive characteristic's.
Chances are this will never happen, and they'll never change; Because People practically never fix, that they believe not to be broken.
Most believe, If it's not broken, why fix it! Even though it's very clear, that there's room for an attitude adjustment! Whenever you're requesting the assistance of someone else, it's customary to say please; And should they agree to help you, it's also customary to say thank you, before and after they help you.
And if you're contemplating on how you should proceed, before you do, ask yourself two questions:
1. How would it make me feel to be treated in this manner?
And
2. What gives me the right to treat anyone this way?
15. Another quote by Grouch O Marx states:
He may look like an idiot; he may even talk like an idiot! But don't let that fool you, he really is an idiot.
In other words:
Sometimes it's better if you just listen, and not speak; No one will know you're an idiot, until you start talking; The minute you start talking, most folk's will say to them-selves! Oh my god, she's a babbling idiot.
16. You can gain control of the situation, provided you keep calm and relax! Now quickly assess the current situation; make a quick mental assessment regarding the course of action you'll take, then respond.
You could very well find, that no response, is your most logical course of action.
17. Here are a couple of good mental practice's you can do, to improve your thinking ability: 1. Whenever there's a non threatening obstacle before you, and you've made your decision as to what course of action you'll take, just before you act, " Stop ", and take 10 second's more to weigh your options again; Because there is always, a better way. And 2. Whenever you have a decision to make, or a view to take on a particular subject, give yourself 10 seconds to decide, {Give yourself more or less time if necessary, in order to make a decision}; Eventually you'll want to reduce your time to 5 seconds. This increases quick decision making.
18. Brain cells never regenerate, once they die, they're gone forever. In medical terms, this is known as "Mental Degradation". And as we get older, we tend to lose brain cells, and it's best that we strengthen our mental faculties. The mind is a very powerful muscle, capable of many feat's. Excercising your mind helps minimizes "Mental Degradation". You should learn to exercise your mind, ............ often.
19. Quoting the poet & philosopher, William Shakespeare! To thine own-self be true!
Never lie to yourself. Never convince yourself of something that isn't true.
When you do. You loose all respect & trust for yourself.
And no-one will be able to trust you. Why! You can't even trust yourself.
20. Always try to do the right things, this opens the flow of positivity around you, manifesting itself into peace, happiness and prosperity in your life!
Should you doubt this! Consider the alternative.
21. Whenever the mind is in a state of relaxation, is when you'll have some of your best idea's, and whenever you have a good idea write it down at that very moment, to preserve it's every detail and as not to forget it!
If it's 3: 00 AM in the morning, and you're in bed, get up and write it down, or If you can, purchase yourself a personal hand-held recorder, then you can just record your idea's, and go back to sleep.
22. Once you've started a project, be sure to follow through and finish it, this is the first lesson to your success.
23. When a project you've started motivates and excites you, be careful not to allow anyone to discourage you.
24. Think of the mind as a computer, and negativity as a magnet! Therefore, negativity can cause severe magnetic reactions yes? Try as best you can to remain optimistic, and refrain from being pessimistic! the glass should always be half full, rather than half empty.
25. Often we see enormous fault in others, but see none in ourselves; for a moment put yourself in their shoes! Then ask yourself, What would I do, if I were in the same situation?
You might find that your actions, might not have been so different from theirs.
26. You should never judge a book by it's cover.
In other words:
Someone's outer appearance, seldom attest to their true person; the content's of his or her character, gives better insight.
27. It's a fact, that whatever decision you choose, whatever you do, there will always be someone who disagrees, and will criticize it. However! You must dig deep within your heart, and do what you think is equal and fair, what you think is best. Therefore! You should consider yourself blessed, if you have one true and loyal friend; Just one ................ But if you have two, then consider yourself extremely blessed.
28. Remember the expression, curiosity killed the cat?
Well! Always say no to drug's, and drink and drug combinations. You should never come back and continue drinking a beverage that has been left unattended. Because it might be drugged; Chances are, it is!
Drug's that are highly addictive, such as heroin, rock co-cain, crystal meth, and strong alcoholic drinking, will ride you for your entire life!
They make you feel is if you're almost Invincible, and that you're smarter than the average bear; When in fact, you're the dumbest bear in the wood's.
Chronic use of drug's with minor addiction such as marijuana, blotted acid and light alcoholic drinking, will at the very Least, strip you of your inhibitions!
Meaning:
All the thing's that you normally wouldn't do, nor would you accept were you in a sober state of mind; Become fare game while you're under the influence of them!
To be free. First, you must want to be free, Then the only way, is for you to hit rock bottom and lose everything that's Important to you; Family, your friends, all of your worldly posessions; Then start over from scratch.
Always remain mindful! Don't take it, don't use it, don't smell it, don't sell it, don't drink it, just sink it; And if you're ever asked to participate in any way, simply say, no thank you.
29. Some of the hardest battles you'll ever have to face, is battling your own fears; and believe it or not, we all have fears!
It is a true tragedy, to live ones life in fear! Scared of this, afraid of that!
My friend! If fear stands between you and happiness, then to attain your happiness, you must go through it and conquer this fear! It will, take a lot of courage.
30. Should you ever find yourself in an unsafe or unfamiliar surroundings, remembering these three rules, just might get you through it safely:
First: As you cautiously make your way, towards the nearest and safest exit, don't speak to anyone unless you're spoken to, and if it's not respectful, keep moving and still don't speak.
Second: If conversing with others, never offer more than what's necessary to make your point.
And Third: Please! Try to avoid looking so nervous and scared.
31. Always try to love, eat and live with lot's of style, and anyone that knows you will become convinced, that life with you shall never be boring, but full of life, Interesting and stylish.
32. You should always, try to help those less fortunate than yourself. The main reason is because I realize that by helping you, I'm really helping myself, and it serves no purpose to ridicule others for being down and out. For I am! My brother and sister's keeper! The proper thinking is that you remember! All but for the grace of god, there go I. Should you ever get down on your luck, no one will help you either. People will say to them selves: I remember when she was on top of the world, had lot's of friends; She helped no one but herself. Oh how the mighty falls.
The fact of the matter is, it could've been you; And quiet as it's kept ... It still can be.
33. Constantly complaining of that you don't have, rather than being thankful for that in which you do, tends to shift your focus towards the negative.
Bare in mind, that however bad you may think you have it, there are a million other people who have it far worst; some who even focus on solutions.
34. Lets say you've met someone, and the two of you have become very close.
They haven't attempted to wrong you, nor have they leaped at an opportunity to deceive or betray you in any way.
Instead: They've been there to walk with you through all the troubled times; often they've came to your defense, and they are willing to share the good and bad times with you; It's very likely, that this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship, and you should grasp at the opportunity, to bond with this person, as soon as possible; More than likely, this is someone who will eat, sleep, fight, cry, love and die with you! And they'll never harm you!
35. There's something we can learn from every situation, {the good and the bad}, the good teaches us how we want to be, and set's a good example for us!
On the other hand: the bad teaches us, how we should not be, and set's an example for us also.
Even if you have experienced or are familiar with the situation, you should learn something, because things will never happen the same way twice. So from every situation, you should extrapolate the good characteristic's, and take heed of the bad.
36. Those who constantly speak with foul language, are merely shielding themselves from lack of a higher vocabulary! Or perhaps their just bitter because of circumstances, (Usually their own), or they're afraid of how they might appear to their peers, if they were to vocalize the extent of their vocabulary.
37. It's often said that people within glass houses, should not throw stones:
Therefore, you should try hard to resist the urge to make things difficult for someone else; Remember! What goes around come's around.
In other word's:
Today the option is yours; but tomorrow, it may be theirs.
38. As we experience life's glorious changes, we must realize that experience is our best teacher; and change is a certainty.
39. Make a commitment with yourself!
Constantly Repeat!
I will not allow peer pressure to alter my true character, every action and decision, will be my own, I shall really try hard, to do the right thing's, and be a strong and important person in life; Then as tribulations and adversities come and go; I'll remember to keep my character, as strong as steel.
40. Many negative behavior's, bad habits, negative personality trait's and negative characteristic's, are very hard to rid yourself of, once they are allowed into your heart! Negativity such as rudeness, selfishness, greed, anger, revenge, hatred, bitterness and prejudice! As soon as you allow them inside, they simply make themselves at home and take control of your life! And it can seem almost impossible, to rid yourself of them.
They're also distractions!
For Example, They Can distract you from your career intrest! Friendships that require your immediate attention! Or perhaps, the rent! Don't get evicted, because you were too busy being distracted by anger and bitterness!
41. Life can be a wonderful adventure, if you know who you really are.
Meaning:
How far you'll allow things to go, before you'll get involved; The things you will and will not do; Those things in-which you stand for; What you want to be in life; Your strategy, of how you plan to accomplish your long and short term goals.
Some people, spend an entire life time and never get to know who they really are.
Ponder this my good man, or woman:
If you don't know who you are! How can you love yourself! And if you don't love yourself! How, can you expect someone else to love you.
While you're young, sometimes it can seem that you have all the time in the world.
But if you look up and thirty years have elapsed, and you've made no attempts to understand these things; You look around and forty years have gone by just like that, or you look back to reminisce, fifty years have passed; You say to yourself! It seems like it was just yesterday, when I was barely knee high to a grasshopper; If you think that finding employment is difficult now, just wait until you get to be fifty years old, and unemployed; That's when you realize, that you don't have any money saved up for emergencies {And there will be}, or for when you decide that continuing to work is not within your best Interest, so you retire!
The moral of this principle is: If you get to be fifty years of age, and you don't have at least fifty thousand dollars saved, it pains me to say this but;
My Friend! ... You're in trouble!
42. Chances are, you probably know more now, than you knew ten years ago. And there's a good chance, that you'll probably know more in ten years, than you know right now. Therefore! You should never forget the past, or where you come from.
Those who forget the past! are bound and doomed to repeat it. And those who forget where they come from! Have a tendency of losing perspective and insight, as to who they really are.
43. It's stated that the average person, uses only 10% of their mentality!
To excel at something, can open regions of the mind never before explored, and always render's excellence.
Though reward, wealth and stability, may be slow or non-existent!
You should bare in mind, that brilliance, has it's own rewards.
44. It's only natural, to make mistakes in life! But to actually learn from our mistakes; Gives meaning, that we've learned a valuable lesson.
45. One of the most important obstacle's to overcome in life, is our justification to give up. If there's something you want very badly, so badly, until it registers at the very core of your being? Go for it with everything you've got.
If people say you're waisting your time! Don't give up. If they try to discourage you! Don't give up.
If you're overcome with a debilitating illness, and you have hopes of one day overcoming it? Keep hope alive, and never! never give up.
46. Constantly complimenting someone, on how handsome or pretty they are; tends to give the impression, that the extent of your attraction, is merely for what you can see physically, and that you're shallow, superficial, and someone who can be easily manipulated or taken advantage of.
Especially, if they look you in the eyes, and find that yours are focused on other areas of interest. Thought they may be very beautiful on the exterior, they may be harboring bitterness, prejudices and hatred on the Interior.
Beauty is within the eye of the beholder, and it's only skin deep. Whenever offering a compliment remember! Once is enough.
47. Many college's and institution's of higher learning, strive to teach and mold you into a good employee, rather than an entrepreneurial person.
When choosing your avenue of career! May I suggest, that you choose a career, that allows you to teach yourself more of its inner workings after graduation; a career which yields you financial freedom!
Quiet being kept! A career in which you enjoy doing so much,
until you would probably do it for free.
48. To say one thing, then do another! lends a rather confusing view!
It gives more credibility! if you say what you mean, and mean what you say!
Here's An Example:
If only you could be more like sandy, she's so receptive. Know what I mean?
49. Many people, aspire to achieve intellectuality and mental depthness! Some go to college! Some confer and debate with great scholars and professors of high standards. Which is acceptable, in any case. But for some people, these avenue's are not accessible! They can't afford it, no transportation, child care problems, family issue's, etcetera, etcetera.
So they take the shortcut to intellectuality and mental depthness! It is to attack that which has intellectual properties, Such as playing chess; If you want to learn, but you believe the mental stress would be too rigorous? Take a chance, and immerse yourself into it, you might find that you're a natural!
If you would like to become very astute with computers, then engulf yourself into its every aspect; you might learn that the knowledge of working with computers, come to you as easily as talking.
50. There is an expression among couples that goes: If we are to build a large family, we must hurry, because my clock is ticking.
It has been well documented that many women have became pregnant, well after sixty {60} years of age.
However!
For most women the deadline to become pregnant is between the age's of thirty five {35} and forty {40}; Which is the time when menopause is likely to set in; and once that happens, it is almost Impossible for a woman to become pregnant. And as a woman get's older, towards forty years of age {40}, becoming pregnant get's harder. Menopause will not announce when It's coming, you might not even know that you have it. It may come in your forties {40's}, and it may come in your fifties {50's}; But know this .... It is coming. A symptom to notice that menopause has set in, is Osteoporosis. A disease in which the bones become extremely brittle, and are subject to fractures, and they heal slowly, occurring especially in young women who constantly push themselves during excercise. Understand, excercise is good, it's a way of enhancing the bodies cardiovascular functions. But over time excercises such as running, can take it's toll on your knee's.
Young women! Please take heed of this warning:
If you intentionally avoid the simple miracles of life, such as starting a family with someone who truly adores you, for materialistic things; Once you accumulate these materialistic things, there is no guarantee that the miracle, will still exist.
In Other Words: Your chances of becoming pregnant now looks bright. But tomorrow, things may not look so good.
Any man that says, he doesn't want a little girl that looks exactly like his queen; or a woman that says, she doesn't want a son who looks exactly like her king, to remind her daily, of why she needs to bring it on home, is not being totally truthful; They're not providing you, with all the fact's ..... But then again, that's just me.
51. Some people can easily recognize hate and discrimination being committed, especially when it's being committed towards them. Mainly because they've been perpetrating it for years against others. But I say that, what's good for the goose, is also good for the gander. And regardless of what you may have heard! Discrimination is wrong, whether it's against one person, or one million people. To ignore or unnecessarily harass someone who has never wronged you, simply because you can, is a form of hate and discrimination. These fraudulent behavioral characteristics are not only hateful, discriminatory, disrespectful and arrogant, they're also very racist of you {They says to others: I'm quite sure, that I will never need your help; And besides! I'm much better than you}, The Truth of the matter is, no one knows what tomorrow brings, and you're not.
In other word's:
Today it's you, who spreads hate and discrimination! But tomorrow, someone could hate and discriminate against you and yours. And when that happens, you can't scream foul, because just yesterday it was you. Most civilized people, frown on discrimination in any form. And there is no middle ground, when it comes to self control. Either you're in control of yourself, or you're allowing someone else to control you. There are millions of people, that are deceased, or imprisoned, for allowing someone else to be in control of them. When they're deceased, they are referred to as: Misguided Souls, and when they are imprisoned, they are referred to as: Crime Partners, or Crimey's for short. You can not purge actions of aggression by merely allowing someone else control of you. So that you can claim later: I didn't do it on purpose, she told me to do it; It's all her fault. Because in the end, all roads lead back to the source. Therefore! Be sure the actions you take are yours, and not those of someone elses. And that the act of offense was committed towards you, personally. To be angry, bitter and hateful towards others, especially if they've never wronged you, is to expose the anger, bitterness and hatred, planted deep within you, to those who would call you friend! It consumes your entire being, and before you know it, you're an angry, bitter and hateful old woman, or man. You may think it's hidden! But everyone can see it. Because! You wear it on your chest, like a badge of honor. People feel that! For them to remain within your presence for an extended amount of time, is to place themselves under constant attack, by anger, bitterness and hatred! So people tolerate it just long enough, until they receive, whatever it is free and good you have to offer. Then they leave your company, and merely say to themselves: I never want to be that bitter ............. That could be me!
Ponder this! It doesn't matter how pretty you are, if you're angry, bitter and hateful! That's all people see! Someday, you'll look back on these times with a better understanding and regret it!
So please! Don't discriminate, Don't allow others to control you! Don't be angry!
Don't be bitter! And Don't be hateful!
52. Usually, whenever someone is jealous of something you have, and they want it so badly, until they take it without your permission, or perhaps, they just out right steal it from you! And what about when all of your friends are saying practically the same things {Here's an Example: Good Job You, Congratulations, Excellent, You're Great} sounds familiar? They don't want to say too much, as to alert you to their way of thinking. Because they all realize, that you're very sharp, and you'll pick-up on jealousy and negativity very fast. Chances are, they're all just jealous of your accomplishments.
Often Because of misguided friendships! You never notice somethings gone, nor do you miss it! Until you realize it's missing, and it's probably been missing for quite some time now. But at this point it's too late to do anything about it. In the future, do yourself a favor, and choose your friends more wisely. Because if you have one, just one true and loyal friend ... you're blessed.
53. It's a good practice, not to borrow or lend any money, that you consider important! Except in the event of an emergency, to those people whom you consider to be special to you. But god blessed the child, that has it's own.
In other words:
There's nothing wrong with having someone there to borrow from when things fall short; But being self sustaining, and independent; yields far greater rewards! You should remember this, whenever you feel the urge to constantly borrow from your loved ones.
54. A sure way to becoming positive and wise, is to strive for positivity and to keep an open mind! To do otherwise, would be a detriment to your mentality.
55. People who seem to go to the extreme, to convince you of their intelligence and moral etiquette, claiming to be your friend! Yet they take advantage of you whenever they're presented with the opportunity, have very poor or no integrity! This fraudulent persona is merely to persuade you, to ease up or totally let down your guard! This is not a true friend; and it's imperative, that you cease communications with this individual, and sever all ties immediately.
56. It's often stated! the right hand, didn't know what the left hand was doing.
Meaning:
That you, or someone within your inner circle, was not thinking and acting along the same terms.
57. Lying and cheating through life, is like holding a bucket of water with a slight drip! Once it's empty, you will truly be alone! One of the hardest things to do, is to regain someone's trust!
In other words!
Once you've lied to, and cheated all the people within your world! Now you're free to experience, the true essence of loneliness! It's far more rewarding, to maintain your honor; Than it is, to become a liar and a cheat.
58. Set principles to live by, (Make a list of do's, don'ts, will's and things you won't do), never break them, for nothing or no one, no matter what.
To break your own principles, is to betray yourself; It will surely be seen as weakness, among friends and foe alike.
59. When someone states that, you're robbing peter to pay Paul! Their saying; you're taking money you've promised someone else, to pay another debt.
60. Try as best you can to maintain your dignity, and respect yourself! If you don't respect yourself, how can you expect others to respect you?
61. The love and support of family is very beautiful! And there are those who have the love and support of their family! Yet instead, they choose bitterness! Bare in mind! The world does not owe us a living! and we must remain mindful, that we are responsible for our own actions.
62. Whatever happens! Consider It all a part of life! Things may not have turned out the way you preferred today! But there’s always tomorrow.
63. Those proclaiming their intelligence, rambling! Madam! I deserve your respect! Because I’m intelligent, i am, for all purposes! a thinker! Rather! A true thinker will never declare their intelligence! The intelligence shows, within their actions.
64. Although we've stood side by side for whatever came our way! And declared our friendship and loyalty!
You should know this! If anyone Should ever come between us, causing us to break our bond! Then my belief is that we were never really loyal friends.
65. Everyone wishes to be successful in their endeavors, and rise from the bottom to the top as quickly as possible!
But heed this warning!
You should be very careful of the people you step on during your rise to the top! They're the same people you'll see, on your way back down! And in most cases, whatever goes up, eventually comes down.
66. A friendship or a relationship, dependent upon the thing's you can do for them! Is not a true friendship, nor a relationship! Rather, they view you as a tool! To be used when needed; like pliers to a nut! And in this scenario! Guess who's the nut.
67. Once in a while, stop, smell the roses, recognize and tell those you love, how you really feel about them! Because so often, we never realize what it is we have! until it's gone for good!
68. Sometimes! It's better to stand firm and deal with our adversities, rather than attempting to escape them! It's never a good thing, to run towards something, while running away from something else! Emotional conflicts always follow you!
However:
Placing yourself back within the midst of those who are highly disfunctional, can be considered as torturous and self defeating. But most of the times, rather than running away, it's better if you just face your adversities. If you do stand up and face it, the opposition will respect you more. And should this delima ever come up again, they'll know that they've got a fight on their hands, with you; They'll also understand that you will not just stand by and accept the usual, that you'll fightback and resist.
There is an old proverb that states: Either we will live together peacefully and harmoniously as brothers and sisters, or we will perish together as fools.
So be strong friend, Don't run away, Stand firm and deal with it, Thing's will change, that you can be sure of. And besides, wherever you go ..... there you are.
69. In an attempt of not becoming predictable! Never answer the phone on the first ring! Never say, I’ll be right over! Never belittle yourself! And never, never let anyone, see you sweat.
70. Be careful of what you wish for! You just might get it.
In other words:
Some people think that money will solve all their problems! They often say to them selves, if I just won the lottery! Or, if I just had a million dollars in the bank! People! Money can't buy happiness! It can't buy friendship, and it certainly can't buy love.
Stand up; Come to terms with the true issue and deal with it.
If you're depressed, lonely and sad! After you've gotten your money, You will still be a depressed, lonely and sad individual with a million dollars in the bank.
71. Should we ever find, that we equal more than our sum; Shall we therefore place ourselves above others, and consider to be more than another?
In other words:
Just because we maybe richer, smarter, handsomer or prettier; Are we also better? No.
72. Many promises and statements are made, in the pursuit of self gratification! However their truth is determined, by the actions that follow.
In other words:
Some people will say anything, to get whatever it is they want! But more important is what you do, than what you say.
73. You should be very careful, of how you read and rub people! Take communication contact for example, most of the time it's by word of mouth, email or telephone. If the response is negative or perhaps there is no response at all; Chances are that things haven't changed, and there's a good chance, they've even gotten worse; If the response is positive; Chances are, things have changed for the better. Many people read other people incorrectly whenever they encounter others for the first time.
So whenever you encounter someone for the first time; Be sure you read him right, and you've got a friend who will stand by your side, day or night! Rub him wrong, and you've made an enemy, for life.
74. Jealousy and envy, never contributes to anything positive!
Often it shows, but sometimes it doesn't! It festers within, making you negative and bitter! Besides, no one knows its there but you.
75. Sometimes people use their height & size to manipulate & intimidate others, & it can be very difficult dealing with bullies, a lot of people aren't sure how to respond.
If you're the bully STOP! NOW, Perhaps you're insecure about yourself, and you wish to boost your popularity among others, but what you don't know, is what it's doing to the person you're bullying; Think about this! It might be 10 times worse for them at home, And should the person you're bullying harms them-self, or maybe even commits suicide, that would make you the offender, a common criminal, or perhaps a murderer. You might not be convicted in a court of law, by a jury of your peers, but you'll know, and that will follow you all of your days, for the rest of your natural life.
Listen friend, if you're being bullied, and you're not sure how to respond. The best way to deal with a bully is to adopt a policy of total refusal.
Something I love to call, "The A. C. P. Rule" it is to:
1. Refuse to associate with them at all.
2. Refuse to communicate with them in any way, and
3. Refuse to participate with them in any endeavor, "No Matter What".
76. At Some point with-in your life, you'll hear someone say: You can't do this, and you certainly can't do that; it's too unusual, or, it's too bizarre. You should know that anything worthy of creation, is alway's difficult.
However!
Sometimes you have to break a few eggs, to make an omelet.
Meaning That:
Sometimes you have to engage in the unusual and the bizarre, to create the Impossible; the very thing in which they said, could never be done.
77. Placing your trust in those, who haven't earned it, is fool hearted and can be very costly, it's the same as walking right up to a complete stranger, and saying, I'm sorry i'm late, but here's all my money.
78. Daily, millions of people are struggling with suicidal tendencies; Hoping, praying and saying to them-selves, if I can just make it through today. Therefore it's very important that those of you with the responsibility of counseling others, realize and recognize that there is a force behind words that can be shaped into a negative or a positive meaning; My advice to you, is that you should be careful of what you say, and how you say it; Remember!
Someones listening.
79. Unnecessarily deliberating and thinking on a matter, can cause you to over think the matter, therefore over playing it; Remember! You study a matter too long, and you just might study it wrong.
80. Many people struggle with identity issues. Some feel they are trapped within the wrong gender, and that they have to live a lie. They're very afraid of anyone finding out. Really! You're not hiding it from anyone, your character is too revealing.
Regardless of what anyone tells you! What they might say in your church, what the pastor might say, The Deacon, Ms. Jane, Bobby Jimmy, anyone; Remember this! It's no sin to love someone; In fact, love is the key to your happiness.
And those that ridicule you, Simply say to them! Before you ridicule someone, you must be willing to walk a mile in their shoe's {Then assume the A.C.P. Rule, as outlined in principle # 75}. Hating anyone, men or women, changes who you are as a person, And besides! Hatred breeds lots of stress, and it makes you very depressed; Having to always be mindful of your hatred towards this person. With them it's out of site and out of mind, but with you, the hatred is there 24/7.
In other word's:
OK! You're gay! So stop beating yourself up about it; God has already forgiven you, for all the wrong things you've done. Now All you have to do is forgive yourself. So go ahead ..... kick the closet, and go on living to be the best you can be. Never be ashamed of who you are.
81. Those who claim to love more than one person, deep within their heart's loves neither! It's really about the convenience of having more at their disposal, and Issue's of trust; Do you doubt this? OK, The next time he say he's going to go out, and ask if you'd like to come along, tell him no, I'm just gonna chill-out here with a good book until you get back, and you'll see just how much you're trusted.
Besides! Juggling several women at once, is like having a double edged sword. And that beautiful demeanor of hers, that you're always bragging on, Well friend! That can change just as easily as you flipping on a light switch. The day might come where you'll wish you had never met her; So take it from me, love has no fury like a woman that's been scorned! You should be very careful, so as not to fall on your own sword.
True love is at it's best, when it's reciprocated unconditionally, between two people!
82. It's very prudent to keep an eye on the people who come into our lives unexpectedly!
However!
It's also prudent to keep an eye on certain family members as well; There will be times when they'll deceive you faster than any stranger ever will.
83. A lot of people deal with stress in many different ways, one easy way is to have a release valve; For example: Some people sing; When-ever they're under a lot of stress, they just sing about it, until it dissipates; Some people jog, when-ever they're feeling stressed, they start running; and some people play mental games, like playing chess.
Remember! When-ever you feel stressed out, pull your release valve.
84. She's bright and beautiful! But most of the time, I feel I have to dumb-it-down to relate to her! When someone says, they will "dumb it down" so that you will understand what they mean! They feel that they have to do this in-order to make their point, and they mean no disrespect. However! In some occasions, they are just being rude and belittling towards you; This kind of attitude calls into question their intellectual capacity. But know this! If you find that you have to dumb it down often! You should bare in mind, that whenever you do, you're not aquiring and attaining knowledge, you are allowing it to escape you.
The proper right of communication is to remain respectful of those with a lesser understanding of the matter than you! Be clear, concise and directly to the point. Otherwise! They will simply consider it jargon, and ignore you! Most people do.
85. Never count your chickens before they hatch.
In Other Word's:
Never assume things are over and done, until it's actually over.
86. You should never put all your egg's into one basket.
In Other Word's:
You should never be dependent upon one scenario, consider the possibility that somethings could go wrong, and in the event something does go wrong, make sure you have a backup plan.
87. Whenever you encounter someone laughing hardy after just going through a really rough battle; It may be that they are laughing, to keep from crying.
88. If it appears that whenever you take one step forward, you take two steps backwards, and it seems that you just can't win for losing; You should know that often, it's because of the thought process being used.
Try changing your thinking.
89. Whenever something is so difficult and important, where-as your entire future hangs in the balance, try to avoid putting the cart before the horse.
In Other Word's:
Complete step one before going on to step two, and so on. Learn to do things in an orderly process.
90. He or she who represents themselves in a court of law, has an up hill battle, and a fool for a client.
91. No one truly knows, what the future holds! People can only make assumptions, predictions and speculations! Never say what can't happen! Nor should you say what won't happen! The law of attraction states, to give deep thought and constant thinking of a thing, causes it's attraction, therefore calling it into effect!
Example: Your constant mumbling! I don't want to be late, causes it's attraction! Chances are, you will surely be late!
Then again, Murphy's Law tells us! Anything that can possibly happen! will happen.
So expect the unexpected, and you'll always be prepared for whatever occurs.
