Take Time To Appreciate The Good People You Meet In Your Life Journey.

Life is incomple te without the presence of good people in it. As a matter of fact, life is all about people. As far as I am concerned, this is the absolute truth. Your life has been shaped by a variety of people who have contributed to the person you are today. It is important not to forget about them. In the w omb of your mother, you were carried for nine months. There was no abortion carried out by her. Despite the fact that you were a stranger to her, she believed in you enough to spend sleepless nights taking care of you. You were raised by your father or guardian who believed in you, provided for your needs and sent you to school. There were many teachers in your school that believed in you, taught you things you didn't know, and disciplined you when and where needed. You are lucky to have a spouse who believes in you enough to marry you. He/she would not have settled down with you if he/she did not believe that you had a future with them. During those trying times, yo...

Create A Repertoire Of Your Own

My amusement has been heightened by the fact that many of us, once we have discovered our talents and finessed them a bit, produce something of quality and then immediately expect the whole world to come rushing for us once we have made it. We become discouraged to the point of quitting altogether when we are brought face-to-face with the inevitable lack of praise and appreciation which confronts us. One of the reasons why this situation exists is the fact that we are ignorant of the principles of repertoire building, and that is one of the most important reasons for this situation. What does it mean when I refer to repertoire as a term? A repertoire can be defined as the combination of past experiences, training, knowledge, and ideas that you bring to the table that represent you as a person and your level of talent. This can be referred to as a resume or a curriculum vitae. In the musical profession, a repertoire is a set of specific compositions that have been learned, performed...

Epistle To The Singles

When you marry the right partner, the quality of your life increases by 100 percent, but when you marry the wrong partner, the quality of his life reduces by 60 percent. Dear Single brother, the real beauty of a lady is not in the CREAM she applies on her skin but in the DREAM she is pursuing. There are WIVES and there are 'KNIVES'. There are VIRTUOUS sisters and there are 'VIRUS' sisters. There are PILLAR ladies and there are CATERPILLAR ladies. Don't marry that lady because of her big BOSOM but because she BLOSSOMS in Christ. If your focus is on her BOTTOM, you may end up at the BOTTOM in life. If your focus is on her TALENT, you may end up with a TRAGEDY. Dear Single sister, there are ' BOAZ' men and there are BOZOs. Don't marry that man because of his HEIGHT but because of his HEART. Don't marry him because of the CHANGE he has in his pocket but because of the CHANGE, he has experienced in his life. Don't marry that brother because he is HA...

Celebrity: Fame : Stardom

I used to think that famous people were so cool when I was a teenager. My dream was to become a famous musician or entertainer and I thought stardom was the best way to live. My perception of it changed as I got older. We are all human, including celebrities. Many of them struggle with mental health issues and have experienced trauma. Yet they’re placed on a pedestal by their fans. They’re pressured to keep an image that doesn’t always represent who they truly are. Their entire lives are exposed to the world to see and judge. They have no privacy. I don’t know about you but that doesn’t seem like a lifestyle that can make anyone genuinely happy. I read Marilyn Monroe's story( Marilyn Monroe - Biography - IMDb ) . She seemed to have it all. She was famous, proposing, and rich. But she suffered through so much abuse her entire life, never knew her father, and had a mentally ill mother. Did drugs to escape reality until she died of a broken heart. My point is that money is essential ...

Live Your Truth By Becoming A Better Humanbeing

1-Be who you want to see in others. Be authentic and honest about who you are. 2-Treat everyone with kindness and respect. Don't belittle or place anyone on a pedestal. We are all humans! 3- Recognize your flaws and shortcomings. Be self-aware and challenge yourself to grow. 4-Recognize your strengths and talents. Every human being has value and can contribute to something. 5- Learn from your mistakes. Forgive yourself. Don’t become a victim of your circumstances. Get up and glow, it's the best form of "revenge" and self-care. 6- Accept constructive criticism, even when it's unsolicited. You don't have to agree, but listening with an open mind can help you approach yourself and your life in new ways. 7 - Apologize when you’re wrong. Don't make excuses to justify your hurtful actions. Be humble, not prideful. 8- Educate yourself every day and let others educate you too. We all can learn from each other. Nobody knows and is right about everything. 9- Don’t j...

Stop Letting People Use You

How to tell if someone is using you: 1- Recognize their pattern. A person who comes to you from time to time to ask for a favor isn’t necessarily a user. They could just see you as someone reliable or trustworthy. A user on the other hand follows a specific pattern. They never check up on you and are only ever nice to you when they need something. It’s a one-sided relationship. 2- Express yourself. Let them know how they make you feel. Tell them you don’t appreciate their presence only when they need something. They could also not realize they’re making you feel that way if that’s not their intention. 3- Boundaries. Set clear boundaries with them. Learn to say no. If you can’t say no, politely let them know that you have other things going on or you’ll think about it. 4- Test them. Reverse the roles and ask them for huge favors. And see how they’ll respond to your needs. 5- They are only nice to you and only contact you when they need something or want to ask for a favor. They take mor...
