Too High Expectations
Once every blue moon the subject of MARRIAGE will come to mind, and today is one of those days. This time it was placed in my mind because of a conversation I had with my mom and hearing her adamant desire … Continue reading Too High Expectations
Positivity versus Reality
I found myself feeling annoyed as I was talking with a friend the other day. Though my friend is cool and positive, just like me; as we talked, I felt myself beginning to feel as if my friend’s lifestyle wasn’t … Continue reading Positivity versus Reality
The Cost of Success
Everything worth having comes at a price. There are some who only see value in $ dollar amounts, but everything has value. Your time, your attention, your effort, your ideas, your abilities, your talents, or a compliment you give to someone… all these things have value. Even your presence is valuable. People will pay you just to sit in a seat and do nothing. I feel that my time is the most valuable thing to me. It’s said that about 300 people move to Los Angeles every day, and in spending the last 2 years living in Hollywood and downtown … Continue reading The Cost of Success
What Is It That You Seek?
It is now the beginning of May. In a few weeks the season of Spring will end, and summer will be upon us; and the year which is 2014 will be halfway over. As I take a step back to think about all that has happened in the last few months of my life, though I know that I’m blessed, I really feel as if I should be further along in my pursuit of happiness. So what does that mean “…I should be further along in my pursuit of happiness”? It means that I feel life for me can be … Continue reading What Is It That You Seek?
Relationship Qualifications
What are the general qualities present in those who have the best relationships? I would obviously think that LOVE is the key to any successful relationship; however, since everyone has their own interpretations of what love is, and also their own opinion of what they deem attractive, it is reasonable to assume that we all have different qualities we look for in a girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse/life-partner/whoever… 🙂 As I was lying in my bed tonight I thought to myself, “I haven’t been intimate with anyone since my last relationship, which was about 6 months ago.” And, some may say that’s a long … Continue reading Relationship Qualifications
Self-Love
Do you love yourself? No, really do you? This is a serious question that requires a thoughtful response; because just as it requires a lot of thought before you would tell anyone that you love them, you don’t want to tell yourself “I love you” without taking the time to clearly recognize your truest feelings. First of all Self-Love is not narcissism. And, love is more than just a four-letter word. Love is an action. I could go through what I feel love is and go through everything that the Bible tells us about love (you can read it in my … Continue reading Self-Love
Fathers
Right now, the relationship I presently have with my father is basically non-existent. I don’t believe I have spoken to him this year… and I probably only spoke to him once or twice last year, if I spoke to him … Continue reading Fathers
Is She the Right One for Me
Just like a moth is attracted to a flame, I am finding myself always being attracted to women who don’t want to be in a relationship. One of the greatest mysteries of relationships to me, is the fact that there … Continue reading Is She the Right One for Me
Alone
I really feel it to be true that no one should be alone. As people get older and maturer, in most cases their values change. They begin to place less value in their material possessions and more value in their … Continue reading Alone
Ordinary Love
Tonight was the first night of Jimmy Fallon hosting The Tonight Show. Though I know that this is a big thing and people have been talking about Jay Leno leaving The Tonight Show for months now, I didn’t know that NBC was going to broadcast Jimmy Fallon’s first show as host tonight. Plus I really don’t watch TV all that much to know what’s going on. Anyway, I happened to find out about the show by watching a commercial and I eventually watched it – and I have to say that it was a great show. His two guests tonight … Continue reading Ordinary Love
