Writers Block

I have writers block!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll try again tomorrow.

Happiness

Today is just another day with many thoughts running through my mind. Today I am happy! My definition of happiness is knowing that those who are part of my inner circle are happy and okay. Happiness has many different definitions. Happiness is love.....knowing that someone loves me back just as much as I love them. Happiness is the mere thought of a person that puts a smile on your face. Happiness is a feeling of catching a great pair of shoes on clearance. Happiness doesn't just have one definition to me. Depending on who you are...happiness may not even exist in your life. I am thankful and grateful today that happiness truly does exist in my life. Happiness is watching the blossoming relationship that my parents have. Throughout the years of my life I have watched them grow in many different ways but most of all I have watched them grow together as one. I too want the happiness that they share together as a married couple. I know that life has many ups and downs but that’s what shapes and molds us into the individuals we are today. True happiness comes with personal growth and love for yourself. So every day that I am blessed to see another day is a day full of happiness for me. Knowing that I can share my love and happiness with those closest to me...is all the happiness I need.

Acceptance

"When you're a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world that can change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one's lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can't accept yourself, then certainly no one else will.”

Why is it that so many people are constantly seeking acceptance? Is it because we as people are so worried about how people perceive us that we are constantly striving to please others to the point of self destruction? The end result is you being unhappy and not able to accept your own faults.

Each day I look at myself and know that I am a work in progress. I once in the past "used" to be concerned about how people perceived me and thought that acceptance from others was so important. After going through many different trials and tribulations in my own life I came to the conclusion that I first had to accept myself for who I am.

Today I had a conversation with a close friend of mine and in a sense it saddened me. Here you think you know a person and you don't. As a friend I expressed my concern to her as to some of the actions she's displayed in regards to men. She has had unhealthy dating experiences and it's reached a point of concern. We are living in a world today full of disease and destruction. She doesn't feel that she'll ever meet the right guy or that the thought of that is delusional. Sometimes you have to speak life into words. If you continue to speak negativity then that’s all that is going to come your way. Her reason for going from man to man is the fact that she doesn't want to be alone. She assumed that because I am single and haven't been involved with anyone for a great period of time....that I am okay with being alone.

I'm lonely a lot at times but I have come to the conclusion that I am not going to settle myself for less or lower my standards for any man.......just to feel acceptance. I am a beautiful woman who deserves the best. I am a very giving and loving person and I do believe that Mr. Right does exist somewhere out there for me. God is putting his finishing touches on me......and I know he's polishing up my mate for me. We can't live life striving for acceptance. We must keep in mind that God is #1. As long as we trust and believe in him we can truly have what we say.

Mark 11:23 says: "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."
