Accepting

It’s funny how un-accepting we can be. We criticize, we judge, and just basically make no effort to understand when people are different from ourselves. Why is it so hard for us to accept what it different? Why can’t we allow others to be themselves?

What makes the world interesting is individuality. Be it Black, White, Straight, Gay, Married, Single, Thin,Thick Christian, Jewish or Muslim.  Why can’t we allow others the express themselves the way they see fit as long as they are bringing no harm to others? But, more importantly why can’t we appreciate, and be loving towards those that are different?

I ask this question, because I notice that during the course of the day there is no person who does not experience, or witness some form of discrimination because they themselves or someone else is in someway different in appearance or culture. Instead of blessing the spirit that stands before us, celebrating their individuality or maybe taking a moment to get a better understanding of the other person. Instead of kindness the person that is considered different is treated in a rude or disrespectful manner. The truth is we are all different.

We come from different times, cultures, backgrounds, and religions, but at the end of the day we have to remember we are one. There is only a difference if you want there to be. But, that little bit of individuality shouldn’t get in the way of anyone being loving, kind, considerate, or understanding. Every life from every race, social, economic background, and religion is valuable and should be respected for who they are and not feared for what we don’t understand.

Yes, we all run into those that do or wish to do harm to others, and those people come in all colors and religions, but it still does not call for judgment –just distance.  You bless them, and send them on their way. We will never really understand all that there is in the world, but my won’t it be fun trying.

Were you accepting today?

More Love To Give

I hear people speak of their Ex’s. Not always in the kindest terms, and I wonder how it is that they can say “I use to love someone”. If you ever really loved someone do you stop loving him or her?

How can you deliberately hurt someone you say that you loved? How can you speak ill of someone you say that you loved? How can you not wish only the best for someone you say you loved? But most of all how can people say they use to love someone?

If you love someone you should still love them, and want only the best for him or her, whether you are still with them or not–because you love them. All relationships grow and change. Sometimes we grow together, and sometimes we grow apart. You can still love someone, and no longer love being with them. Sometimes we confuse the action with the feelings or emotion. Just because someone has hurt your feelings doesn’t mean they don’t love you, it means that they were thoughtless in their words or behavior towards you. From that you have to decide whether you can forgive and move forward, or forgive and move on. But, it doesn’t mean that you stopped loving them

I still speak with the men I’ve dated. I still care about them, and they still care about me. We just aren’t together anymore. I wish them well in their lives, and I hope that they wish the same for me. I am able to move forward in my life without regret because I know that I have loved, and I have more than enough love give.

Do you have more love to give??

It's Not Complicated

Many times we think that because the relationship we’re in is not as we wish for it to be we label it as complicated. What you have to remember is that you are either in a relationship or you are not –there is no in between. It may not be the relationship that you started out to be in, or it may not be moving the pace that you would like, but again you are in a relationship or you are not.

If you are in a relationship and it is not what you want it to be, then you have to figure out if it is where you want to stay, and if so, you have to figure out how you can make it the relationship that you want it to be. If it’s not the relationship you want, and not worth the work to fix it, than you need to figure out how to remove yourself from the relationship and move towards having the relationship that you want to be in.

We sit on the fence because we are afraid. We are afraid if we love wholeheartedly that love won’t be returned, or we are afraid to leave an unhappy relationship because we might end up alone.  What you are really doing is putting up a roadblock to the type of relationship that you really want. You either have to work for it or put yourself in the position to find it.

Like anything that we truly wish to be successful at a relationship requires commitment. You cannot sit on the fence, you cannot wonder–you have to commit. If the relationship is what you want,  than you have to commit until you no longer wish to be with that person and no longer wish to commit to the relationship. If the relationship is not what you want than then you have to be brave enough to live the life that is best for you.

So, the next time you go to describe your relationship think about this. You are in a relationship or you are not. It is not complicated. If you are planning to end the relationship, separated or getting divorced you are still in a relationship and you’re in it until you are not. If there is a relationship that you are working at or trying to be in you are either in it or you are not. You can't sit on the fence waiting on the what if, and waiting to see how it turns out. You have to commit to the relationship. Because once you commit then you will be in the relationship, and be moving closer to the type of relationship you want, but as long as you treat the relationship like you are not in it, then you won’t be. Are you in a relationship or not?

Ignorance Isn't Always Bliss

As much as we want to believe that the world has changed it seems like more and more we see that things are very much the same. 

I don’t know what makes us fear one another just because we might look a little different, or believe in something different. At the end of the day, we have more in common than we have different. Blood flows through each of our veins, hair grows from our heads, we each have parents and some have children. But, the thing that we all truly share is our desire to have happy and prosperous lives. We each desire to love and be loved.

There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that difference that we each possess, but there is something wrong with hatred and harm in the name of that difference. Yes, we are different, but it is only an issue because we choose to hold onto fear , old ways of thinking,  and our make those differences matter.

The Bible, The Qur’an, and The Tao all preach love. Whether we see ourselves as different or not, the core of what these books teaches is the same. If you claim to live by one of these books, than hate and harm should be the furthest from your mind.  No matter what our beliefs we should each work to demonstrate love, and educate ourselves about the things we fear so that our words and actions are loving and not hurtful.

Are you allowing the differences to get in your way??

I'll Try Something New

We can go through life doing the same thing, talking to the same people day in and day out. But, where is the growth in that? 

I try to find an adventure everyday.  I find in not having a routine I am able to met new people, learn a lesson, but most importantly better myself.   That is my daily goal–to always in some way better myself, and to continue to better myself. I try to stay conscience of everyone and everythingaround me, and to approach everyone and everything from a place of love.   

The something new could be going down a different street,  or trying something new a meal out. I do this because I know that one something new at least once a day brings growth .and sometimes amazing experiences.  

Did you do something new today???

From the Book "It's All In How You Look At It(thoughts and questions about life) 

Doing Your Best

When we start our relationships we usually let our representative start it out for us. The kind, thoughtful, considerate, fit , clean, and well mannered individual that our mothers raised, but for some reason the person who isn’t with us as often as they should be. 

As time goes by, our representative leaves the building, and we show up to the party. Not quite as thoughtful, considerate, or as fitand clean as we started out. Then we start to take our relationship for granted. It starts out with little things, that seem to grow over time. Then one day we look up and we aren’t happy in that relationship anymore, and we don’t know what went wrong. 

Of course the first thing we do is find fault with our partner. There is a list of complaints too long to mention, but I always find it funny how no one ever stops and says “I know what I’ve done wrong, I take responsibility and I want to fix it”.  It takes two to tangle, and we have to remember for every action, there is a reaction. If one or both parties changes within the relationship neither can assume that it won’t cause problems somewhere down the line

For any relationship to truly be successful you have to first love yourself before you can love someone else.  But, you also have to take responsibility for who you are, and what you bring to the table. There are some couples that really aren’t meant to be together, but for the ones that are with a little work, what use to be good can be again when you take responsibility and do your part. 

As the old saying goes “How you catch um, is how you keep um”. 

Are you doing your best???

Red- Flag Warnings

Every person whether they want to acknowledge it or not has had a “Red Flag Warning”. That moment when you are in conversation with another person and they say or do something that doesn’t feel right. And, yet most of us will just over look this uncomfortable moment will tuck it away in a bed full of excuses. The funny thing about the “Red Flag Warning” especially in relationship is that when we come to the end of a relationship we always seem to remember the “Red Flags” that we saw early on and chose to ignore. 

Here’s the thing, people will always show you who they are, just as we show who we are.  But, because of loneliness or plain ole’ animal attraction we overlook the things that don’t sit well with us. And, yet with horns blaring and flags waving we will continue walking into the danger zone.  We will fool ourselves into believing that this thing that doesn’t sit well with us can be overlooked, or it is something that we can fix.  It’s true that it takes time to get to know someone, but if you really paying attention there are a lot of important things you can learn in a short time– if you just pay attention.

It’s always good to know what it is you need and want from any relationship as well as your intentions. If you’re clear about who you are, what you need and want for you,  then when you meet someone anda “Red-Flag” waves you know to precede with caution. But, if you’re not clear you about who you are it is easy to fool yourself into believing that the situation is something you can work with or fix. 

 As the old saying goes “you can’t judge a book by it’s cover”,  and that is true, but if you can take 10 minutes you can open a book and skim the pages. If you look closelyand trust your instincts you might see that there might be no happy ending at the end of this story for you .   Trust your instinct they can save you a lot of heartache and grief.

Do you trust your instincts???

If Trust Is The Matter

Many of us whether knowingly or unknowingly allow our past relationships to play a big part in the decision making process of how we meet new people, establish a relationships, and in our conduct during a relationship. We deny ourselves and make someone suffer because of the action of another.

Many times don’t look at both sides of a situation or we move on from a relationship without finding forgiveness and healing our wounds. We begin building this wall that with every relationship attempt continues to grow. Without doing a little work on yourself, and healing the wounds of the past one day no matter how much you have going for you, you become the last person in the room that anyone wants to get to know, and because of this wall you could find yourself one day waking up alone.

There two very big mistakes that we make in the relationship game. The first is that we forget that it takes two to tango. We not only have to acknowledge our part in the success or failure of the relationship, but we have to find the lesson and the blessings in the experience. The second is that you can’t assume that every man or every woman is going to treat you the same. You can’t generalize and think that all people of a certain group are going to behave or treat you the same way that someone else has treated you. If you go into a relationship believing that things are going to be a certain way, than that is exactly what your words and actions are going to make happen.

The answer: if trust is an issue for you, and you find that you are seeing a displeasing pattern in your relationships, it might be time to take a long hard look at your own behavior in the relationships. Instead of placing blame–take some responsibility. You need to figure out what is it in you that is attracting the same kind of person, or what is it that you might be doing that is bringing those qualities out in a person. That means that you have to live in the present, heal some of your wounds of your past, and don’t allow your wall around you to get so high that you can’t see over it.

Do you have trust issues???

You Get What You Ask For

Each of us can say at one point or another we’ve prayed to God and asked for something. It could have been for a spouse, a job, a house, or a car. Changes came in your life that you didn’t understand, and didn’t resemble what you expected. You looked at your life and thought to yourself, but “I prayed to God.”  The question is, do you really know what you asked for?

Many times in our efforts to change our lives in what we hope will be a positive way we make our list, we say our prayers, and we wait. Soon things begin to happen, and they don’t look like what we think they should look like, or even the way we wanted them to look. In turn we become frustrated and sometimes begin lose faith. What we never take into consideration is “How did we ask, and what did we ask for?”

What you didn’t realize is that you showed up with your list, and your rules and regulation of how you feel things should be. It isn’t that your prayers weren’t heard. It’s in how you asked, and if you really look at the situation closely you got exactly what you asked for.

Sometimes we want what we want so badly, that we don’t realize that we are not always positive in our asking. The mistake we make is that we start in the negative. The negative is not so much in our list of what we want, but in the constant talking about what we don’t want, instead of focusing on what we want or need.

No matter what it is that you desire, that should always be what you focus on–what you desire. You should not focus on, or constantly talk about the things that you don’t want in your life. In the asking, first and foremost you should always ask for what is best for you, and that it comes at the right time, in the right way. Things may not always come the way that you expect them to, but they always come the exact way they are supposed to.

How are you asking for what you want?

Gratitude In Simplicity

It’s easy to complain about the life you live, but is seems to be more of a challenge for people to find gratitude for the small things in their lives. We seem to take for granted the simple things in our lives like walking, breathing and the roof over our heads, when there are so many that would be grateful just to have those things. 

It’s easy to want more, more and more, and we all seem to. Is more really going to make us happier, or add to our burdens and frustration? I, like everyone grew up wanting and in some cases feeling as though I needed to have stuff. Sometimes I was even frustrated on the road to acquiring this stuff that I seemed to feel I had to have. Over time and through the challenges in my own life I was given the opportunity to see how truly blessed I was.

Each day I say thank you as I rise from my bed. I am grateful to see another day, to have another opportunity to be the best I can be. I am grateful for the roof over my head, the food that nourishes my body, and grateful to have people in my life that love and care for me. What I came to realize was that my life was rich because I had those thing, not because I had all the stuff that the media has tried so hard to convince me that I needed.

So as you walk through your life take a moment to appreciate what is real in your life . Make sure that your plate of life is full of all the true essentials that you need like love, family, and shelter. Remember that all that other stuff is just a side dish.

What are the things that you are grateful for ?

From the book “It’s All In How You Look at It (thought and questions about life) 

Life Is A Banquet !!

There is so much in life to experience, but most people allow life to pass them by. They choose to allow their fear to get in the way. 

The life that each of us is living is only life we get. This is no dress rehearsal and there will be no do overs. So, why do so many people think about a life they want, but make no effort to live the life they want? The main reason is fear. Fear that they don’t deserve or can’t achieve the life we want. And, that fear usually get in the way of them stepping out of their routine or comfort zone to go and get what they want.

We each should want our life to be full of a whole lot of wonderful, not full of regrets. And, the only way to achieve that wonderful life that we want is to live each moment to the fullest and not allow our decisions to be guided by fear. Every experience in life should be appreciated even the ones that are uncomfortable, because even being uncomfortable has it’s benefits and blessings. 

Dream your wildest dream and make it happen. You may not succeed the first time, but you will gain the experience to help you move forward. Itmay not be in the exact direction that you wanted to go, but you will definitely move forward. And, there is never a downside to moving forward.  Live and love fearlessly, and know that whatever the outcome it’s for your highest good.

Repelling Negativity

Repelling Negativity

STACYE BRANCHÉ·TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2016

It doesn’t matter where you come from, or what you have been taught– we have all been exposed to negative thoughts and words. We have all had people in our lives that have said things to us or about us that were unflattering and hurtful. Sometimes we even think negative things about ourselves.

People say things because of their own self–doubt, self-hate, fears, insecurities, and disappointments. But, that doesn’t make what they say true or any less hurtful. It just makes it their opinion.

If we know who we are it’s easy to say, “Isn’t that silly?” to those words that really have nothing to do with us. You can’t change what goes on in other people’s minds, their actions, or their words. But, you can love yourself, enough to not allow their words to affect you, so that you can send them love them, and move on.

All that ever really matters is how you feel about yourself. It can sometimes be hard to bounce back after a negative blow, especially when it comes from someone that you love. But, when you love yourself, and know who you are that is the greatest weapon you will ever have against negativity.

Is your weapon of love ready?????

The Game of Love

We desire to love and be loved, but it isn’t always so easy to obtain what we desire. Many of us have learned by our examples from our families and the media, as well as our own experiences on how to go about finding and being in a relationship.  We keep trying to repeat the same patterns over and over again, and when they don’t work we want to know why. What we forget is that each person and each relationship is different, and although there can be some similarities no two people or relationships can ever be alike.

We want to believe that there is this one magical solution to a successful relationship, but there isn’t. We want finding someone to be easy, and we want the relationship to be perfect, but the game of love is no different than the playing your favorite sport.  To be good at it, or to get to the play-off’s it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and focus.

Love is no different than Basketball, you can’t win the game by yourself. If you have ever played a sport you know that it requires practice, discipline, trial and error, research, learning your teammates strengths and weaknesses as well as your own, observation, communication, and dedication, but most of all it takes team work.

We can all have the relationship that we desire, but it requires that we put as much effort into the finding and maintaining of the relationship as we would any other goal that we would work to achieve.

Are you showing up to the game to win?

Rose-Colored Glasses

Hard as we may try we each are guilty of wearing rose-colored glasses with someone in our life. There are signs, there are hint’s, and yet we allow our fantasy of who we want to think someone is, to cloud our judgment to who they really are.

It’s very easy for us to want what we want, or want someone to be what we want them to be. This usually comes from something lacking in our own life and we look to this other person to fulfill this desire that we have. It’s usually in romantic relationships that we put our rose-colored glasses on the most. Because of our desire to have our storybook relationship or just a relationship we choose not to see someone who they really are. We will turn a blind eye to something even though there are red flags popping up all around us.

The thing is that no matter what it is we want in our life, we cannot just make someone be what we want. It would be wonderful if we could find that perfect person to fulfill our needs. And, yes the relationship we desire is possible, but many times we are far too inpatient to wait for what’s truly right for us. Instead we try to make the situation we’re in be the situation we want, even when we know it’s the situation we don’t need. We will tell ourselves all kinds of lies to make our story sound like the greatest love story ever told. When in actuality, we know we are really preparing ourselves for our worst nightmare. We are just hoping that we might be wrong. Hoping that if we love someone enough they will become what we want. We try to convince ourselves, that if we believe in our dream enough that our dream and our fairytale relationshipwill come true.

It’s always important to see people for who they really are, as well as what they are and are not capable of doing to us and for us. When we can see people as they really are we are never disappointed, and we are less likely to have our feelings hurt. We can never want a relationship so badly that we sacrifice ourselves trying to achieve it. Because, the outcome of realizing that the toad is really just a toad, and not a prince or princess waiting to be kissed, is always far more painful and harder to get over, than if we had just waited patiently for what was right for us. 

Are you seeing things clearly or wearing rose-coloredglasses?

When The Romance Is Over

The hardest thing for most people to do is to change the dynamics of a relationship.

We can use all kinds of excuses for why we continue a romantic relationship that we know we should end, but the only real answer is fear. The fear of being alone, the fear that your financial situation will change, the fear that the other person can’t handle it, or the fear that they will no longer be in your life if the dynamics change.

The mistake that most of us make is that we go into our relationships romantic and platonic alike treating the relationship more like a procession, than relationships. We implement all of these rules and restrictions of how we think things should be in stead of focusing on cultivating true friendships. It’s all or nothing. The sad thing is because of this all of nothing attitude people miss out on wonderful relationships.

Unfortunately, many of us have been programmed to believe that if we are no longer going to be romantic with someone, than we can no longer be in each other’s lives, or worst we believe we have to be enemies. This belief is far from true. First of all you can never have a real romance if there was never a friendship. If there is true friendship in any relationship, time, distance, nor circumstances should be able to disrupt your friendship. If your relationship was romantic you should be able to remain friends whether you are still romantically involved or not. The ruth is some people make better friends than they do lovers. 

If two people really care about each other they should be able to have honest conversations with each other about their wants, needs, and desires, and there is no need to be fearful. That is what a real friendship is, and if two people really care about each other just because the romance is over doesn’t mean they can’t be friends it only means that the dynamics have changed.

Are you missing out on some friendships???

Making Lemonade

As I move through my life, I am always shocked at those moments that happen so unexpectedly. When you land in the place you least expected or meet someone that you know, just knowing them will make a difference in your life. In the past few days I have been able to look at my life, and see that, that is exactly what was happening to me. 

I realized that I had landed somewhere happily that I could not have imagined I would be 2 years ago, and met people along the way that have or I know will have an impact on my life, and all I can be is grateful.  Grateful that all though it was not the path I had seen for myself I couldn’t be happier to be on it. 

I am okay with the things that I don’t have, that I thought I would.  I am okay with the plans that fell through. All because I am grateful for all that I do have. It may not be the plan I saw for myself, but it is the one I am living. As I say for every lemon I am handed it just helps me make a better pitcher of lemonade.

Accepting

It’s funny how un-accepting we can be.  We criticize, we judge, and just basically make no effort to understand when people are different from ourselves.  Why is it so hard for us to accept what it different?  Why can’t we allow others to be themselves? 

What makes the world interesting is our individuality. Be it Black, White, Straight, Gay, Married, Single, Thin,Thick, Christian, Jewish or Muslim.  Why can’t we allow others to be themselves as they are bringing no harm to others? But, more importantly why can’t we appreciate, and be loving towards those that are different?

I ask this question, because I notice that during the course of the day there is no person who does in some way experience some form of discrimination, just because they are someway different. We should learn to celebrate individuality, and make an efforttobetter understanding those we consider different. Because, if you take a closer look there are probably more similarities than you think. 

We come from different cultures, backgrounds, and religions, but at the end of the day we have to remember –we are one. There is only a difference if you want there to be. But, that little bit of individuality shouldn’t get in the way of anyone being loving, kind, considerate, or understanding.

Yes, we all run into those who do or wish to do harm to others, and those people come in all colors and religions, but it still does not call for judgment, just distance.  You bless them, and send them on their way. 

There is some much in the world to experience and learn. We will never really understand all that there is in the world, but my won’t it be fun trying.

There is so much in life to experience, but most people allow life to pass them by. They choose to allow fear to get in the way of living their life to the fullest.  

The life that each of us is living is the only one we get. This is not a dress rehearsal, and there will be no do overs. The sad thing is that there are so many people that talk about the life they want, but make no effort to go after having that life. Why don’t people go after what they claim to want? The main reason is fear. The fear that they don’t deserve or can’t achieve the life they want. And, that fear is usually what get in the way of them stepping out of their comfort zone to go and get what we want. 

We each should want our life to be full of a whole lot of wonderful, not full of regrets. And, the only way to achieve that wonderful life that you want is to live each moment to the fullest. Every experience in life should be appreciated even the ones that are uncomfortable, because even being uncomfortable has it’s benefits. Dream your wildest dreams and make them happen. You may not succeed the first time, but you will gain experience to help you move forward. It may not be in the exact direction that you wanted to go, but you will definitely move forward. And, there is never a downside to moving forward.  

Live and love fearlessly,  and know that whatever the outcome it is for your highest good. 

Love and blessings in divine order,
