MY OPEN LETTER TO MEN.

Dear married and courting men who are taking your wives and girlfriends for granted,

I wanted to share something that’s been on my heart.

I am writing this as a warning to you, out of love. And no, contrary to what I’m sure someone is going to assume, it’s not a hint to my man or based on any recent happenings in my life.

Now, I know that men and women are different, so I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that on some level, you do not know what you are doing. After this, you cannot say you had no idea.

Your wife or your girlfriend, sir, in case you have forgotten, is a gift to be treasured, loved, and appreciated. She is not a mat to trample, a maid you employed to clean your house and cook for your siblings, or a rag to wipe up your mess. I think it’s time we sat down and established a few home truths.

*Random: I’m not sure how grammatically correct the “Just because” way of saying things is, but it seems to be legit, and it’s convenient for this, so I’ll use it.*

1) Just because she makes time for you doesn’t mean she has all the time in the world. Unmarried men, you might think that the hour-long conversations, hourly texts, and looking great for every date is something that she just rolls and flows into. Married men, you might think that your meals being cooked every day, having a clean home to go to, and children who look neat and have clean noses are things that every man has. But this is untrue. Your woman takes her time to look good for you, be there for you, and do what you want. Don’t get it twisted; she could be doing so many other things with her time, but she’s set a chunk of it aside for you, because she treasures you. Even the Lord knows this, and tells women who want to serve Him to remain single: A woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband. – 1 Corinthians 7:34, NLT.

2) Just because you don’t make time for her doesn’t mean nobody will. When you started out, you listened, wined, dined, you even shared your innermost feelings with her. And somewhere along the way, you decided to let that get old. Well, rest assured that when you start to take her for granted, she’ll slowly start to close up – to you. She will find someone to open up to – whether it’s a sibling, friend, or another man is not the issue. The issue is, that’s when you’ll begin to lose her. If she’s not expressing herself to you and not demonstrating any discomfort with that, then ask yourself some questions, because something is not right.

3) Just because she hasn’t said anything doesn’t mean she hasn’t seen or felt anything. If you’re cheating, she probably knows. 99% of the time, if you are with a good woman who is sane and not paranoid, her God-given intuition will rat you out as soon as she takes one look at you. She will know when she shakes your co-worker’s hand if anything has happened between the two of you. She may not say anything about it. But she knows, and she’s just figuring out her next move. A woman who has been or is being cheated on always knows. And a woman who prays probably gets frequent intelligence reports from the One who sees and knows all. Be sure your sin will find you out – Numbers 32:23.

4) Just because you don’t appreciate her doesn’t mean someone else won’t. If you are with a godly woman, then there are tons of men out there who would give everything to be with her. If you don’t realize how privileged you are to be in her presence and in her life, someone else is waiting eagerly to step into your shoes. She may be at the bottom of your priority list, or she might not even be on your priority list, but rest assured she’s at the top of someone else’s. If you’re not the first and last person who tells her she’s beautiful every day, someone will fill that gap, and we both know whoever fills the emotional need carries the day. If you insist on her looking good but have never paid for a single item in her closet, or if you consistently criticize her even when she’s trying so hard, then check yourself.

5) The woman you’re cheating on her with, if you’re cheating, will NEVER measure up to her. And if you keep up the foolery, you’ll realize it one day when it’s too late. Here’s a clue: this woman is helping you cheat. That in itself lowers her credibility. Is that worth risking your reputation, career, self-worth, and walk with the Lord? Can a man take fire to his bosom, and not be burned? No woman will ever measure up to your wife. It’s never the same. If you’ve got it good, don’t throw it away. If the grass looks greener on the other side, grab a sprinkler and water your lawn, because like the saying goes, the neighbor’s might be fertilized by a sewer underneath it.

6) Just because she never says she wants anything, or just because she says she does not want anything, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do or buy anything. One day, when you get to hear the horror stories from men who pay rent, buy clothes, and put gas in cars belonging to women they are not even engaged to as a requirement for peace in their relationships; one day when you hear about husbands who leave home early and get home late so that they can maintain the expectations of their wives, then you will see just how blessed you are to have a woman who does not make ridiculous demands.

7) Just because she chose you, doesn’t mean she thinks you’re perfect. At first, the rush from the realization that you “bagged a good one” will get you to treat her right. But after a while, you get used to the beauty, choose to see the character as commonplace, and basically forget that your life has been graced by the presence of a jewel… and that it could slip through your fingers at any time. Well, this woman could have chosen any man in the world, but she chose you. That doesn’t mean you can act any old kind of way. If you act a fool, she will get tired of your foolery one day.

8) If the words “I’ll leave you” ever escape from her lips, take note. They might not sound threatening, and they’re not supposed to be. But they are serious. And for her to get to the point where she actually says it out loud simply means she has one foot out the door and the other on a banana peel. Women are strong. Very strong. You might push certain buttons once, twice… a hundred times, but there is a limit. Realize what you did just before she mouthed these dangerous words, and correct it.

9) You “need” her more than she “needs” you. I’m not a feminist, nor have I ever been one. And I’m not even great at math. But if the woman was created because the man needed help, then there is something that woman has that a man cannot do without. You need her prayers, her support, her input, her womb. She needs you, too, of course, but she was created for you. Now, if you want to think God took the time to put Adam out, perform surgery, take out his rib, and fashion a woman just because, then that’s your prerogative, but I put it to you that if you mistreat the woman that God brought to you, there will be repercussions and there will be regret.

10) Just because she’s saved doesn’t mean she doesn’t hurt. The fact that she stays doesn’t mean she can’t – or won’t – leave. She has options. Especially if there are no rings. And even with a hundred rings there are some options, few and far between though they be, for which the Word of God backs her up. Don’t you ever forget that.

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor from the Lord. Remember that you prayed for this gift, and know that the Giver is watching…
Have a wonderful time.
Happy father's day in advance

YOU ARE A BAD FRIEND.

You might think of yourself as a good, maybe even a great one, but if you recognise at least four of these traits in yourself then we hate to tell you but you're a bad friend. Sort your shit out.

You consider yourself superior

You think you're richer, smarter, funnier and better looking and they are lucky to be your friend

You call them only when you need to talk about something

You frequently silence calls from them because 'you're busy' or 'it's just not a good time', but you never hesitate to pick up the phone and call them when you have a problem or you're just pissed off and you need a rant.

You don't really care about what they have to say

You find yourself zoning out of conversations when they're speaking. They're telling a story or explaining something and you can't help but drift off and think of that pair of shoes you need to get your hands on.

You're not supportive

They've decided to start a new venture, or they're taking up pilates... You find yourself scoffing at the thought of it.

 

You flirt with people they like

Your friend might like them, but this person clearly fancies you. It's not your fault if flirting is your natural state and more people are attracted to you, is it?

You borrow but you don't lend

So your friend makes more money than you, or they just have more money in general. Maybe they have better clothes or their fridge is always full - so it's okay to take from them.

You're an opportunist

You don't call them or return their calls for weeks but they put up a status saying 'got 4 tickets to the premier of Anchorman' and you jump on a tex

You're always the victim

If you ever have an argument, you're always the one that's hard done by and you make sure they know it. Whether it's tears or violence or emotional blackmail, you come out on top with them saying sorry.

You have a tendency to be clingy

You talk about them behind their back

One of your favourite topics is them. Their fashion sense, their family, their relationship, their sex life. You have something to say on them all.

You judge their choices

They dropped out of College and you think they're an idiot for it. They dyed their hair and you think they look like a fool. They slept with 5 different people last month and you think that's disgusting.

You're jealous of their other friends

You find yourself disliking their work friends or their old school friends or their new college friends. You can't really put your finger on why, you just think they're a pack of morons.

You're flaky 

You make plans to meet up for coffee but you always cancel. You have a night out organised but you're too hungover to show up. You're supposed to go to their families house for dinner but you go on the piss instead.

You can't keep a secret

It's just too juicy not to be told. They told you in confidence but fuck it right? whoever you tell won't tell anyone, they promise.

You take a small amount of pleasure when something doesn't work out for them

You knew their little venture wouldn't work out, you told them so. You were right. Like always.

If you want to have good friends  around you..you have to be a good friend  too.
Have a nice day.

YOU DON'T NEED TO IMPRESS ANYONE.

Sometimes we try to show the world we are flawless in hopes that we will be liked and accepted by everyone, but we can’t please everyone and we shouldn’t try.  The beauty of us lies in our vulnerability, our complex emotions, and our authentic imperfections.  When we embrace who we are and decide to be authentic, instead of who we think others want us to be, we open ourselves up to real relationships, real happiness, and real success.

There is no need to put on a mask.  There is no need to pretend to be someone you’re not.  You have nothing to prove to anyone else, because…

1.  The people worth impressing just want you to be yourself.

In the long run, it’s better to be loathed for who you are than loved for who you are not.  In fact, the only relationships that work well in the long run are the ones that make you a better person without changing you into someone other than yourself, and without preventing you from outgrowing the person you used to be.

Ignore the comparisons and expectations knocking at your door.  The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.  Prove yourself to yourself, not others.  The RIGHT people for you will love you for doing so, and they will appreciate all the things about you that the WRONG people are intimidated by.  Bottom line: Don’t change so people will like you; be patient, keep being your amazing self, and pretty soon the RIGHT people will love the REAL you.

2.  No one else really knows what’s best for YOU.

Don’t lose yourself in your search for acceptance by others.  Walk your path confidently and don’t expect anyone else to understand your journey, especially if they have not been exactly where you are going.  You have to take the steps that are right for you; no one else walks in your shoes.

Let others take you as you are, or not at all.  Speak your truth even if your voice shakes.  By being true to yourself, you put something breathtaking into the world that was not there before.  You are stunning when your passion and strength shines through as you follow your own path – when you aren’t distracted by the opinions of others.  You are powerful when you let your mistakes educate you, and your confidence builds from firsthand experiences – when you know you can fall down, pick yourself up, and move forward without asking for anyone else’s permission.  

3.  YOU are the only person who can change YOUR life.

In every situation you have ever been in, positive or negative, the one common thread is you.  It is your responsibility, and yours alone, to recognize that regardless of what has happened up to this point in your life, you are capable of making choices to change your situation, or to change the way you think about it.  Don’t let the opinions of others interfere with this prevailing reality.

What you’re capable of achieving is not a function of what other people think is possible for you.  What you’re capable of achieving depends entirely on what you choose to do with your time and energy.  So stop worrying about what everyone else thinks.  Just keep living your truth.  The only people that will fault you for doing so are those who want you to live a lie.

4.  Society’s materialistic measurement of worth is worthless.

When you find yourself trapped between what moves you and what society tells you is right for you, always travel the route that makes you feel alive – unless you want everyone to be happy, except you.  No matter where life takes you, big cities or small towns, you will inevitably come across others who think they know what’s best for you – people who think they’re better than you – people who think happiness, success and beauty mean the same things to everyone.

They’ll try to measure your worth based on what you have, instead of who you are.  But you know better than that – material things don’t matter.  Don’t chase the money.  Catch up to the ideas and activities that make you come alive.  Go for the things of greater value – the things money can’t buy.  What matters is having strength of character, an honest heart, and a sense of self-worth.  If you’re lucky enough to have any of these things, never sell them.  Never sell yourself short.  

5.  Life isn’t a race; you have nothing to prove.

Everyone wants to get to the top of the mountain first and shout, “Look at me!  Look at me!”  But the truth is, all your happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing, not while you’re sitting at the top.  Enjoy the journey by paying attention to each step.  Don’t rush through your life and miss it.  Forget where everyone else is in relation to you.  This isn’t a race.  You get there a little at a time, not all at once.

Let go of the foolish need to prove yourself to everyone else, and you’ll free yourself to accomplish what matters most to you.  Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you don’t have to always be and do what everyone else is being and doing.

6.  The path to all great things passes through failure.

You are an ever-changing work in progress.  You don’t have to always be right, you just have to not be too worried about being wrong.  Screwing up is part of the process.  Looking like a fool sometimes is the only way forward.  If you try too hard to impress everyone else with your “perfection,” you will stunt your growth.  You will spend all your time looking a certain way, instead of living a certain way.

It’s impossible to live without failing sometimes, unless you live so cautiously that you aren’t really living at all – you’re merely existing.  If you’re too afraid of failing in front of others, you can’t possibly do what needs to be done to be successful in your own eyes.  You have to remember that it doesn’t matter how many times you fail or how messy your journey is, so long as you do not stop taking small steps forward.  In the end, those who don’t care that failure is inevitable are the ones that reach their dreams.  YOU can be one of them. 

7.  It’s impossible to please everyone anyway.

Some people will always tell you what you did wrong, and then hesitate to compliment you for what you did right.  Don’t be one of them, and don’t put up with them.

When you run into someone who discredits you, disrespects you and treats you poorly for no apparent reason at all, don’t consume yourself with trying to change them or win their approval.  And be sure not to leave any space in your heart to hate them.  Simply walk away and let karma deal with the things they say and do, because any bit of time you spend on these people will be wasted, and any bit of hate and aggravation in your heart will only hurt you in the end.

Afterthoughts

You don’t need a standing ovation or a bestseller or a promotion or a million bucks.  You are enough right now.  You have nothing to prove.  Care less about who you are to others and more about who you are to yourself.  You will have less heartaches and disappointments the minute you stop seeking from others the validation only YOU can give yourself.

The floor is yours…

WHY PEOPLE HATE YOU.

1. Because you have something that they don’t.

Whether is it your new Paco Rabanne fragrance, your new house, your new tattoo or your car or your life in general, you possess something they don’t — and that upsets them. Because they realize that life can be unfair, and that some people can have things or do things in life that others can’t. Perhaps they even desire what you have but don’t quite know how they themselves can achieve those things. When haters can’t figure why they lack the things they lack, or how they can get the things they lack, they become very angry individuals. To help themselves cope with this sense of frustration, they hate. This is how they deal with their feelings of inadequacy and inferiority after comparing themselves with others — by putting it on you.

2. Because they think you don’t deserve it.

They look at your fame, your popularity, your friends, your career, etc., and think that you are not worthy of these things, because they are only looking at things at surface level. They don’t care about the hard work you had put in behind the scenes — your sacrifices, your worries, your fears and the pains you’d gone through. Because they are superficial like that.

3  Because they don’t want to lose to you.

They see life as some kind of competition — who’s more popular, who’s richer, who has more friends, who has more dates, who has the better job, yadda yadda — and they want to win. Their eagerness to do better than you is not based on their zeal towards life, but stems from their fear of losing to you and being seen as failure in their own eyes. They sort of made you their goal, and the further the distance between you and them, the more they hate. That’s why your haters never want to hear that you are doing well in anything.

4. Because they can’t get over the past.

You two had a thing in the past. Perhaps you were close friends but unfortunately fell out. Perhaps you were lovers but things didn’t turn out as planned or expected. Perhaps there was no closure for whatever issue there was between the two of you. Whatever it is, this hater of yours is still bitter about the past. He/she still can’t get over it; he/she is unable to forgive, yet. Well maybe after some time that troubling affair had quietly slipped off his/her mind, but because of the grudge still buried deep inside, whenever he/she gets reminded of you, emotions can run wild all over again. And there go the nasty comments and passive aggressive posts, again

5. Because they can’t get over you.

You were important to this person and you broke his/her heart. And even after all this time, the wounds never really heal completely, and perhaps, never will. Maybe cognitive dissonance has a part to play in this as well. It is natural instinct to undermine the significance of the things we lose, so as to help us cope with loss and the grief that follows after. Haters overcompensate this aspect — the deeper they loved, the stronger they hate. Haters are people who (still) care, but they do so far too much. Sometimes you could feel that they care more about you and the things you do than you care about yourself, and they care about what other people think of you more than you actually do.

6. Because they have nothing better to do in life.

And we should take pity on them, really. Because for them, besides surfing Tumblr five hours a day, stalking other people’s Facebook and Twitter pages, and posting hateful comments on blogs and YouTube videos, they really don’t have much else to spend their time and energy on. The lowest of them stoop to writing long hate mails. All these activities give them that momentary sense of purpose and achievement in life. Perhaps your haters don’t even really dislike you that much. They just like hating on other people. Hating has sort of become a lifestyle for them. We can only wish them the best.

7. Because their life just ain’t as great and exciting as yours.

It’s true.

8. Because they need attention.

What haters are most afraid of is silence. They feel their existence when they know that you heard their voice. So don’t talk back or argue with them. They would only get more excited. Don’t try to reason with them. Don’t. Even. They won’t bother listening. They just need your response to know that someone actually cares about what they think or what they have to say.

9. Because they can.

Because anonymity allows them to spew nonsense without taking responsibility for it. It is convenient. It is easy. It is cowardice at its finest.

10. Because they are such bigots.

It’s not you. It’s them.

11. Because they are such self-righteous, moral high priests.

No matter, they will always think of themselves as the better person compared to you. They would use your past against you, judge and criticize you using their own morals and values, and dismiss any good that you do. They don’t feel the need for humility when talking to you because they believe that they will always be (more) right. But we all know that such beings do make the biggest hypocrites around.

12. Because they are big green-eyed monsters.

They are jealous people. They curse and wish for your downfall because they want you to lose the things you have that they don’t. They see life as a zero-sum game. They think, perhaps if you lose a couple of friends/fans, they could gain some themselves. And if they can’t have the things you have, they rather you not have them at all as well. They are basically pretty fucked-up human beings.

13. Because they are unhappy with some things in their own life.

And they try to make someone else unhappy too — by being the nuisance that they are. They want to pull you down to their level of unhappiness. They want you to be disturbed and not have peace. If they can’t enjoy their life, they make sure you can’t enjoy yours too.

14. Because they need to put someone down to feel good about themselves.

15. Because they are, in general, just losers.

But losers who need much love. so pls..show them.love..let them.keep talking while you walk to greater heights..have a nice day.

LOVE

When you think of your past love, you may view it as a failure. But when you find a new love, you view the past as a teacher. In the game of love, it really doesnt matter who won or who lost.

What is important is you know when to hold on and when to let go. You know you really love someone when you want him or her to be happy, even if his or her happiness means that your not a part of it

. Everything happens for the best. If the person you love doesn't love you back, dont be afraid to love someone else again, for you'll never know unless you give it a try. You'll never love a person unless you risk for love. Love strives in hurting. If you dont get hurt, you dont learn how to love. Love doesnt hurt all the time, though the hurting is still there to test you and help you grow.

Dont find love, let love find you. That is why it is called falling in love because you dont force yourself to fall. You just fall. You cannot finish a book without closing its chapters.

If you want to go on, then you have to leave the past as you turn the pages. Love is not destroyed by a single failure or won by a single caress. It is a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering and growing. The greatest irony of love is letting go when you need to hold on and holding on when you need to let go. We lose someone we love only when we are destined to find someone else who can love us even more than we can love ourselves. On falling out of love, take some time to heal and then get back on the horse.

Dont ever make the same mistake of riding the same one that threw you the first time. To love is to risk rejection; to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is risking nothing. To reach for another is to risk involvement, to expose your feelings is to expose true self; to love is to risk not to be loved in return. 

How to define love: fall but do not stumble, be constant but not too persistent, share and never be unfair. Understand and try not to demand, hurt but keep the pain. Love is like a knife. It can stab the heart or it can carve wonderful images into the soul that always last for a lifetime. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feeling. IT should inspire you and give you joy and strength. Sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end. Loving people mans giving them freedom that they choose to be and where they choose to be. Loving someone means giving them the freedom to find their way, whether it leaves towards you or away from you. Love is a painful risk to take but the risk must be taken no matter how scary or painful, for only then you'll experience the fullness of humanity and that is love. Only love can hurt your heart, fill you with desire or tear you apart. Only love can make you cry and only love knows why. If you are not ready to cry, if your not ready to take that risk, or feel the pain, then your not ready to fall in love. There was a time in our lives when we became afraid to fall in love because every time we do, we get hurt. Then I figured thats why its called falling in love. When you decide to love, allow it to grow. When you promise to love, refuse to let it die.
