Patience, time, and nature
Patience sometimes stands between us and our desires. There is a lot that we might want to happen quickly, but sometimes just as nature, we have to learn to wait. Even the stars in their courses above, have to wait before lighting the sky, no matter how beautiful the dark evening may look. We also need to adopt patience into our daily routines as its rewards are priceless. Do you want to know how? Just wait and see!

The art of advice
There are times people share things with you. Sometimes all they want is just a listening ear. Not everyone wants to hear advice. So just take it slow. Listen and listen real good. Then you will know what to say, as there is a time for everything. And you will know when your advice is needed, and then you can share it in the most empathetic manner possible. Happy week!

Waiting for ourselves and others and things
A lot of people have said that nature is the mother of patience. I have found some truth in those words, as no matter the season and present circumstances, nature waits for the changes that she desires. In our lives it is not always easy to be patient with others if we are not patient with ourselves. We need to understand that waiting is not necessarily a negativity, but a blessing in disguise sometimes, as it can help us to make a better final decision. Not everything was meant to go or come by quickly so let us attempt to practice patience today beginning with ourselves.

Charity begins with whoever is around
Sometimes we think we are not doing any real help unless we are helping starving children in Africa or elsewhere, but even in America, 1 in 4 children are at risk of going to bed hungry, and need a helping hand. So we should not shy away from helping them too. Also, if you have a friend or enemy close-by or afar who needs anything, be it morally, physically or psychologically just reach out and help them. The funny thing about helping others is when you realize that in the end you also feel wonderful....it is like a divine give and take. Try it and let me know....Great day!

Feelings and feelings
Feelings are an important part of the human experience, and I guess learning to really listen to them, is what grants them significance. Do you remember how your first kiss felt? What about when you accomplished something big? When you first met your enemy or friend? Feelings are unpredictable and sometimes not the best guide of action, but keep an eye on how you make others feel based on their reaction to you. Watch it!;)

Self -worth is critical
Where do you get your sense of self-worth? For some it might mainly be from others. But what's tricky about that? Well it's like giving people the right to define you. Who gave them the right? Maybe you? Whatever the case, just learn to respect you before respecting others; Know your worth!

Silence is sometimes loud
Silence is sometimes golden. When I think of some of the people I admire, they all share one thing in common; they use silence at the right time. Silence when used right or in moderation is a great teacher to the self and others.
Sometimes we just need to take a break from all the noise and distractions and remain silent. Through silence we can spare ourselves a lot of pain or confusion; as remaining silent can give you more time to think before you open your mouth.
I believe some of the greatest ideas are born out of silence applied at the right time!
Great day everyone!!!!

Attitude determines your altitude
There are times in life when you might feel like nothing is working out. You might even feel like giving up, and simply just existing for the sake of it. But a bad attitude won't take you so far. So let us learn to change the inner parts of us beginning with our attitudes....which is a changeable thing before seeking to change the outer circumstances.

Love and trust...trust and love
I think that "I love you" is sometimes easier to say than, "I trust you." Because trust is not the easiest thing, although to truly enjoy loving someone you have to trust them totally. A lack of trust is actually something very dangerous that has the potential to break the best of relationships. A lack of trust is toxic. So it is important to get rid of any emotional, physical or psychological baggage related to trust in order to have the freedom to build trust in your relationships a day and step at a time. Honesty is of course an essential step in doing so...don't be afraid...just say it. But watch how you say what you want to say...Timing is key or else you might end up tearing down your relationship instead of building it.

Patience is a virtue...
Waiting for that interview letter, that "I love you" or that meal is not always the easiest thing. When it comes to love, the human mind, body and spirit feels so many emotions but it takes a special kind of lover to say, "I love you and I can wait". Patience in love or any other area is not indeed for the weak but for the strong only. And, of course it is hard waiting for a lot of stuff...we all have our pet peeves when it comes to that. But have you sometimes noticed that some of the best things in life come out of waiting or let's say being patient?

Listening from the heart...
Sometimes it seems that speakers are highly valued in everyday life. Speaking is indeed a wonderful art when done well at the right time with the right words to the right person. Along, with speaking, listening is also a part of speech that should not be forgotten as it helps to foster effective communication. I love to speak to different people about different things but I am now learning that I have to listen well in order to not interrupt people, and also to gauge the course of the conversation. So indeed let's remember the old saying that "we have 2 ears and 2 eyes but only 1 mouth."

Humility is a treasure
Today I am pondering on humility. What makes us proud? Why do we sometimes compares ourselves to others in order to feel better? I bet a psychologist or someone with a good head on their shoulders would know. As for now, I don't know...I know I just want to be humble...I want to be in the valley.
Great day everyone!
