FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Trying to growup too fast!!

Value Yourself so that others will too!!

As I look at you, I become disgusted, tired of looking at the way you walk around like "you" own the entire world. You don't care about anyone or anything but yourself, and sometimes I wonder if you even care about that. Thinking that everyone owes you something is not the way to go in life. Have some self-respect. Know your self-worth, so that others can see the way you carry yourself and want to approach you with a simple "hello" instead of "what's hadnin Shawty" "damn she fine" or "Imma hit that".

People only treat you the way you allow them to and if they see you treating yourself badly, they will do the same, even worse. Dressing like a slut, places you instantly into a category that only says "I'm easy"! Don't you get it! Not every boy who tells you how fine you are or how cute your smile is, is worthy of entering your secret passage. It's okay to wait. You have time to do adult things. Be a kid for as long as you possibly can, because you cannot turn back the hands of time. Opening yourself up to a hard-life, quickly turns into no-life at all!

Although bad things happened in the past, it should not define you. Know that those things were not your fault. You did nothing wrong to endure such pain. The one who hurt you will get their punishment. But you chose to forgive them, so stop using it as a reason to do what you want to do.Or make others feel sorry for you. It should inspire or motivate you into being better, beating the odds. You are never alone! And this victim act is really getting old.

You have people in your corner, who love and cherish you. But, those people will not enable you. You won't simply get your way just because you think you can or should. Don't try to make people feel sorry for you, or expect reward when you don't deserve any. It doesn't work like that! And if you think that it does, you truly have a lot to learn. I pray that you get it because if you don't, you are in for a rude awakening!

Taking advantage of the people who love you most, will only cause you the most pain in the end. When those people get feed up, tired of your evil ways, you will be on your own, with no one to fight for you. The same young boy who tell you to slip school, sneak out at night, will get what he wants and then treat the next girl, the one who knows and values her self-worth, with uncompromising respect. She will be the one he goes above and beyond to protect. The rules that her parents set won't get taken advantage of or overlooked. He will follow them because he cares about her and not what's under her shirt or between her legs. She won't have to feel obligated or pressured into doing something that she is not ready for, and he will wait for her, while you will become just another notch under his belt!

Think about it!!!  

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

Have you ever known anyone who never has anything positive to say? They complain about everything, even themselves. Whenever you see or talk to them, they suck the life out of you. You know that if you having a bad day, they are not the one to call. It's sad how much time and energy is wasted dwelling on negativity when in fact, you are surrounded by multitudes of blessings. Start fresh if you are one of those people. Make today the time you turn over a new leaf. What's there to lose?

Instead of complaining about money or being broke, look around at what you have and smile. Someone isn't so blessed at the moment. Instead of trying to get even with someone who pissed you off, thank them for only making you tougher...stronger! Instead of looking at all the flaws in others, turn around and look in the mirror. We are all flawed in some way or another, embrace them and see how beautiful of a person you become. Tell your children just how much you are proud of them. After all, they are a gift so treat them as such. You will be surprised at how closer, how much respectful, and how fun your relationship grows. Go out on a limb, think outside the box, take risks, and stop making excuses. Your success begins with the second letter in the word "U".

I wrote this today with a heavy heart but giving spirit. I don't know who was supposed to read this or maybe it was also for me, but IT WILL BE OKAY!!! Don't worry about things you have no control over. Don't focus wasted time and energy with things you shouldn't be. Smile, laugh, live! Life is now, focus on tomorrow when/if it comes. The power belongs to you. Take time out of your day to pray, meditate or simply sit and relax for 5-10 minutes. You will feel so much better, I promise. When we always doing for others and neglect ourselves, we slowly become lost. Now is the time to find yourself. Hold on and never let go again. If you don't love yourself, how do you expect others to? Until next time, be inspired, be encouraged and be a better you today than what you were on yesterday. I dare you!!!
