How absolutely sickening is that people use the concept of "love" as bait just to get into someone's bed. The heart is a fragile thing yet we toy with it as if it were a off roading truck, as if it were this strong indestructible thing, even though we fully know that it's not! Yet even after we learn that same lesson, once, twice, often three times over and more, we continue to dive head first into those treacherous waters...
We don't learn, we almost never learn that lesson, and even when we do, we ignore, and do it again. We know the outcome, we know the odds (once a cheater always a cheater, trust is key, it takes two, the list goes on) so why do we keep putting ourselves in harm's way? Why do we knowingly put ourselves though the agony only to beat ourselves up about it afterwards, just like we knew we would?
If we look deep within yourselves, stop pointing an accusing finger at everyone else but the one who truly is at fault, yourself, maybe then we can find that timelessly baffling reoccurring question not nearly as mind boggling as we once thought it.
It's easy to point and blame other people, to justify our mistakes and loosely throwing out those infamous "they made me do its" and "if, buts, and ands" in every which direction. However, if you really take a moment to think about it, you're gonna see that reoccurring excuse in new light. so what if they DID tell you to do something incriminating, or maybe they DID lie through their teeth to you? Does it really matter? after all, in the end, ultimately, who's to blame for your problems? It's not the greasy con man, with the believable gig you fell for like so many other, it's not the lying cheating scumbag that told you lies, lies you fell madly in love with, no, as much as we'd love to believe it was, and as much as we tell ourselves it was, it doesn't change the fact that at the end of the day, the only one you'll have to blame is the one we refuse to acknowledge "guilty as charged". OURSELVES. You've heard it said a zillion times, let me be the zillionth and ONE to tell you: Think THEN Act, and Think THEN Speak. If your gut level tells you it’s a bad idea, odds are it is. Reasons are everywhere you just have to use what the Lord gave you, and find them wherever they may hide. If you notice something that that just doesn’t quite add up, do not take it for granted, instead, take it for exactly what it is: a RED flag! Don’t throw up your arms, don’t retreat, don’t wave your white flag, don’t surrender to it, see it for what it is, an opportunity to learn, grow, and overcome yet another one of life's many obstacles. No one ever said that life would be Easy, they just said it be worth it. With that being said, always remember to listen to that small still voice, you can't replace its importance, its priceless, it can't be bought, no one can be bought, not unless you give that "okay". So stand up for what you know is right, in the end, when all is said and done, you the only one you'll have to have to answer to. it's your choice, that one tiny yet so significant stroke of strength you displayed by saying "NO!" or that lapse of judgment that cost you more than just a week of grounding, could be what makes or breaks you, but ultimately its your life, you hold the power to make it…or break it, there's two sides to every decision. It's like a pancake, smash it as flat as you want, there were ALWAYS be a flip side. Choices can hurt or they can be that thing that’s keeps you on the road to sucesss, you’re the judge…you choose.
We can't gripe about the avoidable predicaments we too often ourselves trapped in, and it's not by your neighbor or by anyone else's hand that you'll find yourself in these messes, but by your own. We, ourselves, are but our own worst enemies, and once we realize, admit and accept just that, only then can we change things we once thought unchangeable. Mahatma Ghandi once said "Be the change that you wish to see in the world."We don't learn, we almost never learn that lesson, and even when we do, we ignore, and do it again. We know the outcome, we know the odds (once a cheater always a cheater, trust is key, it takes two, the list goes on) so why do we keep putting ourselves in harm's way? Why do we knowingly put ourselves though the agony only to beat ourselves up about it afterwards, just like we knew we would?

You'll never see a change in your world if you don't stop, and first look deep within yourself and see what you need to change. Change comes from within, and without that origination you won't see its light shine out from deep within your heart and soul. You can make a difference, don't you ever underestimate the power of you own to hands, they can make a difference, but with a heart something even greater can be achieved. The heart is the soul foundation to all our dreams, and without dreams there is no inspiration and without that we can't Change the world. One last thing, don't you ever, not even for a second belittle your life's importance, you may scoff , but believe me, it happens all too often. We often neglect to see how far our circle of influence truly does reach. I bet you anything that it's much farther than you'd ever think to imagine it'd be. Never doubt your importance, because even if you don’t think so, you matter so much more than anything. You have potential, you have purpose, you have dreams, now go use them, put them work, show the world who you are, go show them what you've got, because it's amazing, it's fabulous, and more importantly, it's YOU! with that being said, that concludes my first blog entry.
Stay strong Stay beautiful, Stay YOU.
