Family quotes



 Having the right people in your corner is one of the greatest blessings you could ever have in life.  Those who make you laugh! Those who find the time to listen. Those who are always willing to give a helping hand. Those who have your best interest at heart, whether you're related or not. Sadly, there are many times when we neglect those who care about us most and we take their sacrifices for granted. 


The only persons who would go to the end of the earth for us. The only faces we know when we are sick. The only persons who we can count on whenever we are in need. We take them for granted. It's such a shame that sometimes we don't even give them a moment of our time. It's such a shame that we sometimes forget that they are the nucleus of our support system. It's such a shame that sometimes we are the source of their greatest pain. It's such a shame that we only talk about how important they were to us when the cruel hands of death take them away. 


If you have a mother who's always checking on you, appreciate her. Many don't have mothers! If you have a father who is standing firm by your side, appreciate him. The world is short of good fathers. If you have a loyal spouse who is supporting your vision and dreams, appreciate them. Many wish they could get the support that you have. If you have siblings that love and respect you, appreciate them. You may not always agree but you know they have your back. If you have friends that are genuine and honest, appreciate them. Faithful friends are few and many don't have real friends. 


Whomever you have standing right by you, give God thanks for them. Even if it's one person.  Consider yourself blessed. If you have someone to correct you when you're wrong. If you have someone that you can trust with anything. If you have someone who supports you without a complaint. 


If you have someone who's always checking in to ensure that you are okay. If you have someone who ensures that you have clean clothes to wear and good food to eat. Be ever grateful for the sacrifices that these people make for the sake of you.  Many can't find one person who truly cares about them. 


 It's time to stop making silly excuses. Oh, I'm too busy, not this time! I must do this and that. If you have loving people around, you are one of the fortunate few. Many of us don't get that wonderful opportunity to have caring persons around us. Cherish every moment that you can get with those who love you. They won't be with you forever, and the time that you choose not to spend with them is irreplaceable.


They don't need your tears after they are gone. They won't hear the good things that you have to say about them when they are dead. You have now to make it right. Spend quality time with your loved ones. Let them know how much you love and care about them. Let them know that you appreciate all that they are doing for you and how much they mean to you. At least if death should take them away they would have already known how much they mean to you. 


Respect those who have given you their best. Their prayers, kind words of encouragement, sound advice, correction, clothes on your back, shoes on your feet, a good education, a loving home. Don't ever take these for granted. Many can only dream of having a happy home because the only life they know is that of pain and misery.

Social Media Facade (Poem)

Image
“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not, and oftentimes we call a man cold when he is only sad.” ―  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow  I keep them laughing, They all think that I'm doing okay, So many wished for the life of me, The face behind my profile picture isn't what they see, Smiley emojis that hide my frown, But when I'm off social media my world comes tumbling down, You see, having many followers doesn't mean I'm not alone, In the real world, I have struggles of my own. Likes, comments, thousands of shares, I wish I knew someone that truly cares, Social media is just a highlight reel , These happy moments are only a cover-up of what I try to conceal, Of all the people I make happy, I'm the one who is sad, There isn't one to make me glad, Yes, Influencers have their insecurities too and, They're real people like the rest of you! “Maybe we all have darkness inside of us and some of us are better at dealing with it than others.” ―  Jas

20 Quotes about the people in our lives.

Image
                                            Have you ever examined the persons in your life ? What purpose do they serve? Do they make your life better? Are you happier with or without them? Do they mean you well? Do they have your back? Can you honestly say that you trust them? Do they love you or only what you can do for them? If you have nothing tomorrow, will they still be around?  These are some deep questions to think about. You should always be open and brutally honest about the persons you allow into your life. Let alone, your mental and physical space. Don't ever take that for granted.  In the end, everyone who enters your life is either a blessing or a lesson. Whether they are family, friends, or strangers. Be careful who you choose to hold on to. Many of the people that you meet aren't meant to stay in your life, indefinitely. You will encounter problems; if you extend their stay. You should never prioritize someone who sees you as an option. You should never lower y

7 things you should never fuss about when it comes on to others.

Image
People will live and do as they please!  You can't control other people's behavior, but you can control how you respond. It's time to declutter your mental space of all the things that are of no concern to you.  Below are seven things you should never fuss about when it comes on to other people. “ Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.” ―  Roy T. Bennett 1. Other people's opinions about you. Stop allowing other people's opinions to rent a space in your head. Stop reducing yourself to other people's perceptions of you. Stop defining yourself with their vocabulary. Stop squeezing yourself into their myopic version of you. No one knows you better than you do.  What others think about you is their business, not yours. Let them handle it, that's not your problem. Stop fussing yourself about who doesn't like you. Stop walking on the precipice of other people's opinions. At the end of the day, people are

40 Inspirational quotes about self-love and body image

Image
  There may be times when you feel as though you are inadequate, or you just don't fit into the world's definition of who or what they say you should be. Guess what? You don't need to fit in. You are enough , you don't need to change yourself to make someone else feel better. You were beautifully designed. Fearfully and wonderfully made.

Christian forgiveness poem: Betrayal pricked my heart And left an arrow there Although I could breathe I'd prefer my heart stone-dead To those who hurt me To those I fear would To those, I might take avenge But this did me no justice For my last state Became worse than the first So, I gave my wounded heart wings Whither shall we go my love Till seventy times seven.

Five reasonable questions to ask on your first date.

Image
  First dates can be nerve-wracking at times. What should I say? Hope I don't mess up. Hope I make a good impression. What should I wear? Do I look good? And the whole nine yards. While your first date doesn't have to be scripted. You also don't want to sit there and just stare into space.  You want to break the ice and start up a conversation.  There are many who have flunked in this area and have ended their chances of dating any further at the first date. This is an opportunity for you to know each other a little better. Don't be selfish talking about yourself the whole time. Give the other party a chance to share a little about themselves and show interest in what they are saying. This is not the time to flaunt your achievements, vocabulary, or which big names you are friends with. It isn't time to spill your guts either. You don't have to go about confessing all your deeds and whatnot. You don't know who you are talking to.  I have compiled five reasona

Everything can change in a split second. We are here today, gone the same. We plan, we hope, and expect, we look forward to what will come, both good and bad.

Poems about beauty

Image
 Beauty is more than what meets the naked eye. It goes far beyond the exterior.  It isn't so much about having a beautiful image, but more so, a beautiful spirit. Always be your kind of beauty; inside and out. Let the world adjust its standards. Don't ever reduce or belittle yourself to fit into its definition of beauty. Be bold, be fierce, be a beautiful soul, within and without! Poem about beauty standards: Where your words are gently spoken, Where kindness is smothered in love, Where I'm free to be, Who I was created to be, Without compromise, Without apology, Without any addition, Or subtraction from me, Where my color, class, and creed have no meaning, Where no words of ridicule or expression, Can scar this structure I call my body, There in your heart, Is a place called, Beauty!
