Respect is both earned, and given.
We all must realize that life, love, and friendship is a two-way street. What you ask of one person, you can not expect to reciprocate if asked. It is important to know how you expect to be treated, you must be willing to give it back, without no regret. Many of us take advantage of others' feelings, and neglect to listen to the ones we love the most. If we take time to listen, and not overpower, many decisions and arguments can be avoided. We should also recognize if the shoe was on the other foot, would we want to be treated the same? Most of the time, the answer is no. So learn to listen, respect, and communicate correctly.
Life Lesson: You can not begin to listen by talking first. You learn more with a closed mouth and open ears.

10/29/07 "Redemption"
Hate only consumes the one it possesses...
Can we all really forgive? Or do we say so just to ease the spirit? Friends, lovers, family members, and other associates may downright use you and take advantage of your kindness; it is only right that they be forgiven. This may often not be done very soon though...time heals all wounds. Plus who knows, it may take more time, and in some cases, it is still taking time. We all have asked for forgiveness, but it is harder when the forgiver thinks the wrongdoer is not sincere or otherwise. When we hate, it only consumes one...because most people do not know you hate them, and the other ones do not care. So let us release the hate in our heart, and learn to forgive and move on...no one said these two parts would be easy. Remember, from earlier, once you forgive, you have done your part. Leave the rest up to fate.
Life Lesson: If and when you lose, never lose the lesson. You will know how to react faster the next time the situation arises.
(LCFDDJ- I'm glad you forgave me, so that I have forgiven others.)

What is done in the dark will come to light...
Lying is never good. It hurts the ones around you, and it often comes back to hurt yourself. Why do we feel the need to lie? To cover our own tracks? Is it an excuse of not wanting to hurt the person? The reality is, it always comes back...tenfold. In one way or another, it bites you bad in the end. What you thought you have gained by lying, you lose. What secrets you thought were covered, are often revealed. People have lost the respect of giving honesty a chance. We can not continue to decide how another person will react by our honesty. Pay a small price in the present, or a bigger price in the future. No one is excluded, we all have done it. That does not ever make it right.
Life Lesson: The truth, whether you are receiving it or delivering it, will set you free.
(HDT - Free yourself. Make a change to be better...you owe it to all involved.)

10/26/07 Picking Up The Pieces
If it's broken...let time fix it.
Throughout the time we are here on Earth, many obstacles will be thrown in our way. Knowing how to rebound from those "disasters" is perfect for character development. A person willing to dust off, push aside the strife and see the sunshine after the rain accomplishes a feat that many others succumb to. If you are going "through", you are going "to." Don't let financial problems, school problems, man/woman problems, and job problems bring you down to the point where in which you can not function or see the new light of opportunity ahead of you. Believe that what you lost in the fire, will be restored much better and bigger than you could have ever imagined.
Life Lesson: "Never Let Em See You Sweat."- - Charlene W. Bowman
(JA- It's your chance to meet the opportunity. Stay strong.)

10/26/07 Class is in Session
Life is what you make it. Unfortunately, there are people who make it twist and turn, some for the better, some for the worst.
People tend to attract attention to themselves, for the reason of making themselves the brunt of controversy, the epitome of 'status' or just to boost their own self-esteem. When you shout out to the world about something, you should expect the return fire. So don't be upset when all the comments you get aren't positive. People...stop putting yourself out there. If you are strong enough to let everyone know your business, be strong enough to take the criticism...both the positive and negative.
Life lesson for the day: It's all right to let someone be good to you...stop pushing the good people out of your life, and leaving the bad ones in. You know the difference, you can feel it.
(LFD...stop pushing. Someone special is here for you.)
