R.E.S.P.E.C.T!

"Be strong enough to stand up for what you believe in
Bold enough to not care about what others may think
Being unique means being different
It also means knowing others cannot accept you or your beliefs
Everyone will not support or accept your vision
Believe in yourself
You are worth it!"
--PrettyChiq
 
 
We give power to those when we forget who we are. Everyone is different, and while we may have respect for ourselves, we have a few people who we allow to get away with many things.
 
Everyone have one or two persons who the place on a high pedestal. For whatever reasons, we respect and honor the respect of those persons very much. Oftentimes, we forget ourselves, curb our standards and give those people much more room to disappoint us than we should.
 
Who are these people?
 
They are
  • Friends
  • Family
  • Significant others
  • Mentors
  • Celebrities
  • Anyone we admire
We tend to forget one thing however, they are human.
 
Being human means,

 
As such, stop putting these people on pedestals. They will disappoint you.
 
***To be human is to err***
  • Your parents are people, they cannot always understand your decisions
  • Your friends are human, they may not always support your vision
  • Your significant others are human, they may not always support you
  • You are human, you believe in people
 
One of the most recent and biggest lesson I have learned recently is I cannot live my life to please others. In our lives, some people are meant to only be around for a moment's time. Like Tyler Perry rightfully mentioned in one of his plays, some people are seasonal, temporary while others just have a cycle in your life.
 
Everyone is carefully placed in your life for a reason. When you acknowledge this and respect this placement, you can pay more attention to lessons learned than mistakes made.
 
With this being said, you have to learn when to let go.
 
The bible states a woman is to be a help-meet onto her husband. I'd expand this idea and go as far as to say, we are to be help-meets onto everyone we are in relationships with, helping each other meet our true potentials. If growth is not evident, positive and good things are not the final result, then those persons and things need to be pushed aside. Not forever, maybe for a moment, a day, a month, a year, or forever (perhaps), but you owe it to yourself to live a life with purpose!
 
You must and should:
 
 
Remember....
 
 
 
He said it best...
 
 
You Must
  • Reflect on your life. Learn your strengths, own your weaknesses.
  • Truly great persons are more in tune with their weaknesses than their strengths.
  • To know and overcome what keeps you down, is to let go of the weight that prevents your success from flourishing.
 
With this knowledge of your weakness, you can allow your strengths to shine and consciously mold your life in a positive manner!

Love Is Not Enough; Set Limits (Relationship Advice)

When in love, we oftentimes believe the best of people--we also see what we want to see. -PrettyChiq Sometimes the best thing you can do is walk away and continue to live and appreciate life. -PrettyChiq Many women and men fail to realize the men  or women they love can change overtime. Life has a way of 'softening' or 'hardening' people; it all depends on your nature--whether you're naturally a loving or hateful person. I have learned some people create the perfect image of who they believe someone wants them to be....My ex was no different, he created the image of the loving son that adores children and does not drink or cheat....while he really resents his parents, cheats and does drink. I became a victim of a web of lies. Over the years I have come to realize a man or woman obsessed with something is the most dangerous person I can know. My ex was obsessed with possessing women. While some men are obsessed with fame, money and power...he was and i

"Everyday you wake up, you should know your life is worth living and loving. Perfection is based on a person's perspective. What may be perfect to me, may be imperfect to someone else. Instead of beating yourself up for falling back a little or crashing, applaud yourself for surviving. As long as every day is lived as though it's worth living and you are worth loving, life will be and feel so fulfilling." --PrettyChiq    It is necessary to realize, life is not meant to be perfect. Who said you're suppose to go through perfect times each and every day? It is through adversity and tough times can one truly recognize and cherish the hard times. Sometimes it is through the very bad and rough times, can we truly appreciate and love the good. One have to know the bad in order to know what good truly is. I was talking to a friend of mine, and she told me she was tired of suffering and struggling. I listened as she spoke and agreed. She was going through s

"Sometimes its necessary to get away, clear your head. Once you step back from the situation, it makes more sense." --PrettyChiq "You should wake up everyday as though you are your biggest priority. By investing in yourself and your future, you can ultimately make the world a bigger and better place with all you have to offer. Don't let anyone steal your joy, not one is worth the stress but you!" --PrettyChiq  Sometimes things are as simple as you make them. There will be times when the world is closing in on you. Deal with the circumstances that overwhelm you. It is as simple as taking a break. Take a vacation, get away from the stress. By stepping back sometimes, you can view things in a better manner. Even if it means a weekend, it is healthy to step away from your environment or situation and reevaluate what's important and unimportant to you. "You are not weak for feeling and being human.
