I used to look at relationships like a kid in a candy store has something that was going to fill my most desirous want.. And overshadow some of my more painful… 2 things I’ve come to realize in my 57 plus years on this planet. Things that have helped to reshape my outlook on relationships on relationships calm mind and others:

•People, at least the more arrogant, closed ones of this country hate lessons involving personal growth.

•I cannot think of any one thing that demands personal growth moreso than (persona)l relationships. THINK ABOUT IT! 🤔

My pattern has been, I get into a relationship and I get brought down, I get out of it and I rise backup. Then I start to attract another person after the previous relationship enrelationship ended once I start to rise up again calm and then I start being brought down again. This has been the pattern. Just as women weaken legs said the trainer to the boxer, relationships often bring us down rather than lift us up.

There’s an old saying, how to porcupine’s mate, very carefully very carefully. The same could be said of human relationships. Human relationships. Before people are deeply emotionally involved karma often times they display one set of character traits calm but after they become emotionally involved and in many cases where he deeply, these character traits seem to Exhibit A shift. That’s one reason it’s a good idea to take your time getting to know someone.. As you draw closer together and your feelings intensify, observe if you’re dealing with the same person now as you were in the beginning. Aside from that it’s a suggestion from God, immorally and otherwise.

The Bible says to be shrewd, butt meek. I know a lot of family members who are shrewd but they are not meek. Maybe that’s what I meant earlier by not being able to have one without the other. In this case shrewdness without arrogance.

The vast majority of these writings do not take into account extenuating circumstances. You could say they’re like a raw file similar to that of a photo -free to play with as you will depending on the circumstances you want to interpret through them. Explore!

Thank you Lord once again 🙏🏻 I don’t have that quality many women look for in a man. That’s survival instinct, that killer instinct! That, protect your partnerat all costs instinct! That, do whatever you need to do to support your family instinct. 😏😔

We need to stop seeing each other as obstacles, oath com or as means with regard to the trivial things in life we encounter, desire in day-to-day.

You take people wanted a time, you don’t lump them all in the same category. You don’t tar them all with the same brush.
