COURTSHIP & FRIENDSHIP (FOR THE FUTURE CHILD)

I hope this helps you out my friend for my mind probes me as I consider the facts; life has been in the hood of friendship to make one heart equal; sailing through the canals of love and relationship, grateful for the lessons procured in the process.


The joys of finding the one, the bells that rang in hearing the dotted steps, how many have failed to confide in their hearty identity?

We sail the road calling friendship “courtship”, paving a way for a hand-in-hand to the future, while the heart is in debt of worries, hoping and praying for freedom, thinking of enduring or enjoying, folding hands to see changes but nothing is still displayed to those coming after. We believe we know it all but few are truly chosen and many are called. The question is how many takes their calling and are action oriented? We seek perfection but we are afraid of the tests to greatness. We suffer a little, run away and leave the stage for someone else to enjoy because the time of perfection unknown was undisclosed and closed.

Perfection as come the stage is prepared, but the workers are missing, somebody else did the work but another ate the fruits. It’s our entire fault, our impatience, our ingratitude, our nonchalant attitude towards discipline.

We seek the perfect person but forget that somebody else did the work, as in, diamonds must be refined first by fire.

Courtship is friendship, good before marriage, for we can say goodbye to friends not married partners. It’s all good saying goodbyes to friends than to a lover as the vows, the joining holds forever as it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all; as the memories are sweet but the dreams have not come true. Though just having loved is not worth it at all.

Do you know that person truly in prime? It is more important than that future you hold. Do you have the time, cash to spear one another? You will be called upon in time, for relationship is a financial burden, and only few understands’ these things.

I wrote this for your understanding, I have been in falling, failing, rising, and calling; love bade me goodbye and I waited not in words but to watch and note my prime in vision and purpose.

Learn that you must, be hardworking, patience, self controlled, a go-getter, reader, listener and a financial planner, for love will blind the eyes without practice before time.

I call to understand no gossip; for troubles - enter the closet for communication in dialogue resolved and note from whom you are advised.

God is faithful and on the throne, fail him not at all for thou would give at the end, all proceeds.

GETTING A LIFE

I have waited for the judge

Pleading not guilty of running love

I have my question truly lodge

Yet my time beckons on coping

To work to play and become

Get a life for age beckons

All to work and making it fit

But life harden the laden feet

Something must hold to something

Life is for work and standing

The labor of men for another living

Like a grass a man must sober

Getting a life is that matters

We are made of God to work

But the vision only His banner

Men must work not in luck

ESSENCE OF LIFE

Work to live or live to work

Home to love or outside to love

Life to be there or in luck

All must hold a degree to evolve

To work and to love must

Even animals understand mating

To care and to trust must

Life is a process of meetings

Success or failure man builds alive

Love breaks all barriers built on

Living is without life’s strives

All are called upon to be on

To love, care and comfort others

Living is fun while it’s true

To share, bear and be a banner

Life is cool when all’s through

Goal Setting - What You Need To Know

Goal setting is something that we have been taught since we were young. From grade school all the way through adult life accomplishing our goals is something we strive for. The problem is many times we do not get the job done. It's not because of lack of effort. Many times it's usually the approach we take towards getting what we want. We have some tips to help you reach your desires and define what you want better.


1. Write your goals down. It seems a lot of us will try to just remember what we need to get done and that is great. The truth is when you see it written down you tend to put more value on it. Carry around your written ideas and look at them often so you will never forget them. This will keep you striving to reach them.

2. Make your goals specific. One of the biggest mistakes people make is making them too vague. It is much easier to reach something when you know exactly what you want or must do. Vague suggestions or desires just give you a chance for failure. Be as specific as you can for greater success.

Remember the quote "keep it simple stupid". Well this same quote also applies to goals. Most people make things more complex than they really have to. Keeping things as simple as possible means success will be a lot easier to obtain. Never make things tougher then you have to. Simple always seem to work best and that goes with goals as well.

Having friends and family as a support system around you is a very good idea. Tell them what you want to get done. They can help push you and encourage you. In the beginning this might not seem like a lot, but it will help you out. Sometimes people need a little extra push.

5. Your goals need to make sense as well. Do not make something that is not reasonable. Your goals and desires are reachable, but if you are starting out make it rational. Going overboard will just make it tougher for you to reach your outcome. Know what you're capable of, and do not try to do more than you can.

Goal setting is something that we all need to do sometime in our lives. Many of us will set short term and long term goals. No matter what type you set it is good idea to always go over them now and then. It will help you see how well you are progressing and what changes you may need to make.

KNOW YOURSELF

People tell you their thinking mind

For you perceive no self esteem

You change to suite all in kind

But you alone determine that you are

God made all but differently unique

Your perception to cope Gods hope

For you are somebody, one to frolique

Though many things you are not shows

Note the spiritual, the physical changes

For a child is at end a father

An over-comer to change all things strange

But you to note step by step

You are that of God inclined

Though not all sees that note

You are that of time yearned refined

Yet in scriptural understanding birthed

Ways to Move Right On

Every day is a new day.
Every morning when you wake up is a new beginning. Forget yesterday's trials and tribulations and just sit a while and mentally plan the day ahead. What could prove challenging? How can you plan ahead to deal with it? Perhaps a packed lunch prepared now could avert a foray into the staffroom biscuit barrel later onor an array of what to do list? Think, plan, do. We all screw up at times – whether it concerns our business, our relationships or our health. It happens. The only people with no problems at all in life are six feet under.

Yell a mental 'stop!'
Slow down, forgive yourself and move on. You're learning a whole new way of living after years of fretting over life's issues. To expect perfection is unrealistic – and you know it even though you can't abide it when you falter. Sometimes there seem to be so many obstacles and temptations that it's just so dam hard and you question if it's all going to be worth it. Maybe making a meaning in life is not all its cracked up to be. Believe me, it is. Regroup, regroup. YOU CAN DO THIS. The binge is over and now we dust ourselves down and start over.

See this as a journey, not a 'marraton'
Just take life one step at a time and do what you must to make a meaning in your cause of action in it. The process of understanding what you want and planning for it is in your hands and none other can help you get there without your permision. no one holds the permission for you to be a success in life. You can dwell on your past misfortuns or use it to accellerate yourself to a better position in the long run.

Remember we decided that obstacles are inevitable? A binge is an obstacle and obstacles are surmountable.

Whenever I hear the word 'obstacle' I think immediately of that SuperMario game when the little guy is racing along in a car at dizzying speed as mountains loom whilst large rocks and showers of bouncing boulders continually try to thwart his efforts. What does he do? Well, he doesn't stop. He goes over, around, under and every which way to get past these temporary blocks. I'll let you think about that.

Keep your eyes on the prize
The only way to stay on track is to want it so badly that you will do whatever it takes to succeed. Why do you want this? Yes you want to be free but why exactly? To live to see your grandkids laugh, able to provide all your family needs? To make a meaning for others in life? Only you know. Stay intensely focused on what you want, never give up on reaching for it REGARDLESS OF WHAT GETS IN YOUR WAY and your success is guaranteed.

WHY WORRY

Why fret your worry line?

The words are true in hearts tie

Is it the distance out of sight unkind?

But the words do ply on high

Fret not your heart and mind

The situation stands coined of God

And words lay your ways and time

It’s far, but heeds thou the word

Here lies the promise of love

Two hearts joined in words non bluff

Though out of sight sounds a fight

Yet are the promise made in plight

The woman and the man a worried heart

But trust, understanding from the world apart

And the words from two did set them alert

It’s time for the no worry say
