*Life: The Bitter- Sweet Magic God Gave Us*


The habit of obsessing over the idea of having a perfect life where you compress yourself into a focused point, means that you will suffer from tunnel-vision. Tunnel-vision means that you will miss much of life.
The perfect life is always around the corner, but the decent life is right here already if you can stop for long enough to see it.

Life can be described in just three words: Up and Down.  And that's how God created it.
We humans mistakenly expect life to be consistently Up.
It does not work like that in the scheme of things.

Life, along with all the natural human processes are cyclical (in the habit of repeating itself)
For instance your  personal energy  throughout life works cyclically no matter how balanced or imbalanced any lifestyle is.

Live a Life Without Judgements

We judge the life we are living because we want to know the answer before we understand the challenge.
We judge our own lives harshly and unfairly when we compare our lives to those we think have a better life than us.
The first step in moving past judgement of your life is releasing the need for an answer.
Instead of judging, form an opinion. Judgements are assumptions that usually do not change. An opinion, however, is an isolated view of the world that can change with the discovery of new thinking and  information.

Life-changing lessons

• Don’t bottle up your emotions, become self-aware and explore your emotions. Find an outlet such aswriting, meditation, or talking to a friend.
• Vulnerability takes courage. The gifts we unlock by being willing to be vulnerable far outweigh the difficulty in doing so.
• Show up, face fear, and move forward.Because fear and criticism will always be there in some form, the best course of action is always to show up anyway and move forward.
• Seek excellence, not perfection. Focus on realizing excellence, the best version of yourself despite your flaws.
• Dare to be yourself– in your strengths, skills, and beauty as well as your flaws and insecurities. In doing so, you can realize your true strength of spirit.

Adversity, failure, joy, success, pain, disappointment, victory, defeat and truimph are all part of the mixed varieties of this life that we have. Don't curse yourself or God when the bad times in life come, learn from it. Likewise, don't be too naive and ignorant to think your victories and successes will last forever now that you have suffered to achieve them. Prepare and plan for the sudden ups and downs, the unplanned responsibilities that comes with being successful. Because it will come and it is coming.
It has never changed for billions of years since creation. And it will never change for you or me. Today it's good, Tomorrow it may be bad.  Mature like a man or woman and adjust to each of its lessons.

This is life, a mix bag of bitter-sweet experiences

How To Treat A Man

Men are often stereotyped for being weak or soft if they show their love or affection openly. But the truth is, men also need love too. Men need tender loving care and affection and attention just like women do. Caring, showing love and affection and giving attention is not only about women. It is about men too. Men also need early morning calls, just for their women to tell them sweet words too, encouraging words to carry them through the tough day they are already having or that sweet short text message you can send him just for him to know you love him and you are thinking about him. This is the reason why most married men  turn their attention to slay queens and side chicks looking for this kind of treatment. And not necessarily for sex. So from now on, ladies, start also calling your men and husbands, tell him sweet words, encourage him and inspire him,  learn to compliment him on his good looks, what he wears and appreciate with much admiration what he does for you....

Raising Responsible Children

To be a good parent to your child or children means parents must sacrifice their desires and needs for that of their children. Because of this, you must make sure to teach them the right things and guide them on the right path so they can become the proud children you dream of them to become in the future. At this early stage of their lives, we are the only ones they are looking up to. So every thing we teach them is of utmost importance to their growth and social development. Disciplining your children can be a tough thing to do in today's world. But you risk nurturing bad children if you allow them to do wrong without setting boundaries and limits for punishment. Do your best to deter them from harm or evil. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Hopefully if you and I can do this right, our  children will be the mirror of the perfect world we seek. I leave you with the lyrics from the song, the greatest love of all by George Benson and later Whitney Houston. I believe that chi...

Trust

Many of us today did  trust in other people blindly  so much that we never thought they will do us any wrong or betray us, but they did. They took advantage of our naivety and our complete believe in them to control and manipulate us into getting what they want from us, after that,  they left us alone in the cold. All because we trusted them.We were naive to trust in the wrong people. Period! On the other hand, we were the ones people trusted so much and yet we let them down and disappointed them. To their suprise, they may have been expecting the disappointment and the betrayal to come from a complete stranger they don't know, but it came from us. We all at one point in our lives have been victims and offenders in this game of trust. It is better to tell a bitter truth to a person you love so he can cope in difficult situation in life and be self reliant and independent in all things than to tell a sweet lie that will cause someone to depend on you or trust you co...
