LIFE IS.. (By Missy

Life is not about how popular you are or not. It’s not about what you have or lack thereof. It’s not about how you look on the outside, it’s not about how pretty or handsome you are, or not. It’s not about what race or background you came from. Life is not about how many girlfriends/boyfriends you had or who you have kissed or dated. Life is not about what you do for a living, or who your parents are, Life is not about how much money you have or how little it may be. Life is not about who you ended up marrying, life is not about where you live, it’s not about what Country you’re from or how big your house is or not. Life is not about what car you drive or if you walk bare footed everyday. Life is not about what brand of clothing you wear or if you shop at a flea market. Life is not about how many facebook friends you have on your friends list or who you chat with daily or none at all.

LIFE IS…
About the things you do ( to and for others) Life is about the quality of time you share yourself with, to and for others. The smile you give to people not just to your friends, families, acquaintances but people you see on the street, the smile that lights up their spirit that makes their day. Life is about the kindness you share to and with others that comes from the heart without expecting anything in return. Life is about the quality of your own life and what you do to make the best of what you have no matter how little it may be. Life is about the inner peace you find within yourself, the contentment at the end of the day knowing you have done something not just for yourself but for others that made a big difference in their lives no matter how small it made a difference on you. Life is about reaching out to and for others with genuine intentions at heart. Life is about HUMANITY…

LIFE IS…
About knowing and understanding that we all share this world we live in and little things we do for others as long as it comes from the goodness of our heart, does make a big difference. Life is about being humane towards others no matter who and what they are. Life is about being humane to all the living things, animals, strangers, weak and defenseless. Life is about what we Human Beings can do for the benefit of others. Life is about being able to sleep at night (no matter where we sleep, fancy bed or the floor or the street) knowing that we haven’t hurt nor stepped on someone’s toes, knowing that we can sleep in peace and be able to rest our mind at the end of the day knowing we have done something good, anything.. for and towards other human beings.

LIFE IS…
Knowing with full self awareness that this world we live in is already filled with Hypocrisy, Prejudice, Jealousy, Greed, Anger, Hate and Inhumanity… we do not need to part take in it. Life is about using the Wisdom that the higher power has blessed us to share with other human beings, it is about being able to say our prayers and thank the Higher Power for this thing we call LIFE and knowing that others are also thankful that we had touch their lives in a profound ways.


THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THAT SOMEONE (By Missy)

There will always be others who we may rub the wrong way & vice versa. There will always be others who just blatantly & intensely dislike us. In fact, there are plenty of people out there who puts other people down by criticizing them if not complaining & bickering about someone else’s life, someone’s look or someone’s ways of life. These are time and energy consuming behavioral patterns.

When you come across people like that, it’s not your choice to control them or change them, you do however have the choice on how to react to them, if you ask me, I’d say I let it roll like a duck behind my back :) I don’t go off my way pleasing other people or stooping in their level, I’ve got things to do that are more productive with my time.

As long as you are doing the right thing with the one you’re with and make the best of what you have, as long as your friends knows you for the real you, as long as people likes you because you are genuine and you don’t step in anyone’s toes to get ahead, you really shouldn’t have to prove a thing to anyone. Be yourself and if others likes it or not, don’t sweat it. To each their own, as one would say:) Stay blessed everyone. Everything in this life changes by the minute, people comes and go, even the most beautiful relationship sometimes don't last no matter how one tries hard to make it last, our very own life is not our own to know how long we will be around or what our life span will be, we can be here today, God forbid, gone tomorrow.. Today and every day we wake up is a blessing, every morning when we wake up it is a God's blessing telling us to make it right by those we love and those who loves us, so when it's time for our Creator to take us home, we will be remembered by those we leave behind. IT'S UP TO YOU TO CHOSE what you would want to be remembered by those whom you will leave behind. There's an old saying "When a soul leaves this earth, every human being who remembers that person for the good thing he or she did while on earth is a prayer rendered making it easy for the soul to pass the limbo of here and the other side" Happy Friday everyone! Random act of kindness is free and it lifts up someone's heart.


A WOMAN'S HEART ON TRUST (By Missy)

When a man wins a woman’s trust, it’s not because of how he looks on the outside or what he does for a living. It is because of the sense of comfort, mentally, emotionally and psychologically that a woman feels when the man she trusted is around or out of sight. It’s the sense of knowing she can trust his discretion whenever she is not with him, that sense of knowing when he is out of sight, he respects her, he cherish her, that comfort feeling of knowing when he is out there, he knows he has a woman who loves him and respects him. A woman’s heart beats for so many reasons and all for the one she is with. Trust, Faith, Love, Understanding, Compassion, all these positive emotions a woman’s heart feels is there for a reason and so are all the negative emotions towards a relationship of person she is with. In my line of work, I have never encountered a patient or client who displays a behavioral out burst for no reason. No matter how mentally imbalance a patient or client is, there is always a reason why they have an outburst. An emotional, verbal, physical out burst always stemmed from something and since the patient or client cannot identify or express what they’re going through, therefore they display their emotions by retaliation or our burst. And these are patients or clients struggling with psychological hardship. So I can just imagine, a normal person who thinks and feels differently than a patient or client, we all have a hard time coping up with pain or lack of trust due to events or situations in our lives that are out of our expectations. Breach of trust or trust that has been violated by the person we felt comfortable with, the person whom we felt safe and secured with is one of the hardest thing anyone could go through, Men or Women goes through the same emotions when his or her trust is violated, they just cope up with these things differently.


In love and life in general, at some point in our lives if not often, we encounter people we trust the most who unfortunately disregard the trust we gave to them as a privilege. In relationships, during the courtship or dating period, both people puts their best foot forward to seek the affection of one another. However, when the romance has been established, the sense of familiarity with each other sets in, at times one finds himself or herself in a situation where trust is violated. The other person may have a valid reason, perhaps things were not in his or her control, at times we often hear “I’m just a human being, I make mistake” or “I’m not perfect” if not the words “you expect too much from me” or “I had good intentions but my actions were uncontrollable” What ever the reason may be, the other may try his or her best to understand and forgive, but sadly enough, when trust has been broken, it makes it very difficult to see logic, to hear excuses or reasons. This one of the many things, a woman’s heart is very sensitive about and to some men, not all men. But to some men, it’s hard for them to understand the difference on how men are when their trust has been breached and how woman’s heart is when trust is broken. When a guy made mistake with his buddy, more often than not, they settle the misunderstanding just by saying “Bro, sorry didn’t meant to” and the other one will say “Oh you’re good, not a problem bro.” and move on to being buddies again like nothing happened. When women made mistake towards another female friend, it’s always difficult to just say “Hey I’m sorry” and the female friend has a hard time saying “okay no problem” instead, half the time it becomes such a big deal, lots of talking, lots of yakking as one would call it and still the differences wouldn’t be resolve, instead the fire gets bigger and bigger to a point two female friends would just stop talking to one another. It’s just the way women are, they’re just cut out that way and men are cut out the way they are towards another male friend.


So you could imagine when a Man makes a mistake on his woman by breaking the knot that binds them together. The Trust! Unfortunately, in any relationships, marriage or otherwise, there will be a time a trust will be broken, either by the woman or the man in a relationship if not both. A woman’s heart beats on trust, being able to have that sense of safety, comfort and security with the person she is with. When trust is breached or violated, a woman’s heart hears no logic, hears no explanation or reasons, all it hears is “I gave you my trust you broke it” or “Why would you do such a thing to me when you know it is going to hurt me” when a woman’s heart aches because the trust given as a privilege to the person she is with has been broken, it may take months or years to mend from it, the heart will remember the lack of respect rendered towards the trust given if not remedied immediately a woman’s heart
