Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength. The courage it takes to reveal your heart is one of the most daunting...and yet, rewarding experiences in life. It will set you free. You can’t experience life, without feeling life. Everything you want, is on the other side of fear.

In every vulnerability there is power, there is energy and there is stability.  Open yourself to your weakness and frailty.  Uncover what you keep veiled and secret.   Lay it out, unmask it, bring it to light and allow it to become your resilience.  Show your versatility annd adaptive traits.  Turn 'em loose!  

Expose yourself. Bask in you nakedness, for it is also your armor.

But You Ain’t Heard It From Me!

“He who excuses himself, accuses himself”

This is a line I learned in grade school that has always rung true. People who gossip alway tell on themselves by being the first to say, “It wasn’t me!” or “Isn’t it too bad some folks need to talk behind others’ backs!” If you didn’t say it, if you don’t agree or condone it, why would you feel the need to say anything?

The bible says that gossip is wrong, it is sinful...yet the biggest gossipers a church-going people. Will they ever be anyone that can even begin to live up to their standards. I saw a friend comment about gossip on social media...and the first comment received was from someone I know has gossiped! Now, maybe they have convinced themselves that it’s not gossip if you say it or ask it in a non-threatening and innocent way, like - “Oh, isn’t that Mr. So-n-so’s wife over there with that man? I think I’ve seen him with Sis Such-n-such a few times too.” Innocent, I think not! Then somewhere down the road, it may be confirmed that some kind of affair has happened, and suddenly the well meaning non-gossiper is saying, “I always knew he or she was ‘that way’, but who am I to say anything?”

Don’t get me wrong....I think everyone enjoys some juicy gossip every now and then....but there has to be a point in which you can politely exit the conversation or even better, put an end to it.

It’s like bullying. You see it but stay out of it unless it’s happening to you.

Just remember, it eventually will.

friendship? See where your own horizon is, and stop letting your sun fall below it.

Ever feel like there is that one person you can never do enough for? You try and try, but they are never satisfied, grateful or thankful. Well, maybe the real problem is the mere fact that you are doing for them. Have you become an enabler for their bad reception of your good intentions? Sometimes you need to STOP! and allow them to miss what they’ve been getting. Allow them to realize their life without your help. I must warn you though, it is most likely they will resent you for your non-support as well. See, there is no WIN with these types of folks, because they are the ONLY thing that matters to them. Try and think of the last time they said anything or did anything nice for YOU? Ask yourself, when have they ever shown concern or consideration for YOU? Now, ask yourself....Why are YOU continuing to allow yourself to be dispirited by their lack of friendship? See where your own horizon is, and stop letting your sun fall below it.
