Find Yourself Before You Try And Find Love (Short Blog)

By -



Sometimes we look for love in all the wrong places; we seek to find ourselves in others. Sometimes it takes an unlikely someone to teach us one of the greatest lessons we can ever learn....an ex. From my past relationship, I have learned there is nothing greater than the love of God. Once you have acknowledged this, you will then realize the second greatest thing is the love of yourself.

When you're young you're taught Cinderella gets her prince and you learn there is no prince. Nothing can prepare you for the reality that life and love is far more complicated than just wanting someone. These periods of pain, turmoil, and distress oftentimes teaches us something and can build resiliency, strength and/or character. There are different varieties of love, each requiring a different strength. Each display of love--for God, for mother, for lover, for sibling, all requires a different part of your heart. Whenever one is missing, you can feel as though a piece of yourself is missing as well...completely empty and unfulfilled. I advise you this....



Find yourself, do not let anyone or anything change you. If that person cannot respect your love or honor your wishes, walk away. You can continue to live a life of regret and wishful thinking or move on and find someone who wants the same things you want. This post is not to bash an ex, but to say an experience can be bad but the lesson learned can be priceless. Through the principles I have developed in this relationship, I have decided I will never allow anyone to take me for granted ever again. I will make my requests known and will demand the same respect I give. Sometimes life is as simple as we make it.

I advice all my readers who are reading this to do the same, acknowledge your self-worth and demand make your requests known. Sometimes you'll get answers you did not want but need...Move on and live you life, it's too short to waste.



Remember, God then self. God is love!

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.

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.
