I repeat.... When you come to the end of your rope... 

Tie a knot and hang on!!!

LIFE

LIFE = (L)ive (I)t (F)ully (E)veryday

Flatter me, and I may not believe you.

Criticize me, and I may not like you.

Ignore me, and I may not forgive you.

Encourage me, and I will not forget you.

Love me, and I may be forced to love you.

BRAND NEW LOVE

As you grow older, you love again, and the new love feels so different that the love before feels like make-believe.  

The way you love changes throughout  your life.  Even the way you love the same person changes.

Definition of A Deadbeat Dad

If you work odd jobs and under the table to avoid paying child support.

You got the new Jordans, iphone6, Madden and the kids need school supplies.

You living with your new girlfriend, taking care of her kids, and your kids are on the other side of town starvin.

You stay in the club flossin every weekend, and never been to a parent/teachers conference.

You stop taking care of "YOUR" kids bcuz your BM got a new man.

You're at every big event, CIAA, All Star Weekend, Bike Week and ain't seen them damn kids in 6 months.

You the flashiest nigga on social media and 15k behind in child support.

**If you're offended....You need to go pick up your kids and put some "REAL" time in.

FLIRTING 101

This short course in flirting will not only teach you how to flirt, but also tell when someone is flirting with you, and how to respond.

FLIRT;   to behave as though attracted to or trying to attract someone, but for amusement rather than serious intentions.

RULE #1

Make Eye Contact

One of the best ways to let someone know that you're interested and approachable is to make eye contact from across the room.  Don't stare!  Nobody likes a stalker, but let your look linger long enough to establish a clear connection.

RULE #2

Expect Reality

You're flirting, not proposing.  So keep your expectations in line with the activity.  

RULE #3 

Don't Overthink It 

Anxiety sets in about the uncertainty that comes with approaching someone that you've never met.  Stop worrying about how you look, or the perfect opening line and letting your brain get in the way.  Just dive in!!!

RULE #4

Tease

Subtle teasing is a good way to flirt with a member of either sex.  Most guys like women who are sassy and aren't afraid to challenge them a little.  Most women enjoy a man that will engage in a lil back and forth.

RULE #5

Reserve Judgement

Lack of chemistry is one thing, but don't be quick to reject someone based on one minor mishap.  9 times out of 10 you're both nervous.  So give them the benefit of the doubt, and keep talking.

RULE #6

Lean In

Use body language to show you're interested, open and ready for more.

RULE #7

Bump Elbows

I got this one from a movie I saw.  A quick bump of the elbows not only softens the mood, but provides familiarity and suggest there is more touching ahead.

RULE #8

Flirt Online

Modern technology has made it easy to flirt with people you may never actually meet.  Also because nearly everyone has a smartphone, you can flirt from anywhere 24/7.

RULE #9

Send Over A Drink

Because every great story starts with drinks.  Lol.

RULE #10

Dance To The Music

If you've made it this far.... DANCE TO THE MUSIC LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING!!!

TRUTH IS....

Winners have simply formed the habit of doing things losers hate to do......

LETTING GO...GETTING OVER SOMEONE

You may think the key to getting over someone is keeping yourself as busy as possible, choking back the tears, and not thinking about them. That is not the cure.

Although surrounding yourself with friends is definitely helpful and important, that's not all you need to do. There’s a difference between getting over someone and wanting to get over someone. You need to get yourself to want to be over it before you will ever actually feel it. Wanting to get over someone takes time, thinking, and probably lots of tears, but it’s the only way to get over someone in a healthy way. You will know when you reach that stage.

The first thing to remember is that it’s normal to be sad. You always seem to reflect on all the good times. You’re going to be use to talking to them at certain times of the day. If you’re not ready to go out with your friends, wait until you are. Rather than forcing feelings on yourself, accept how you feel and try to put a positive spin on it. You obviously had something special if you feel this way.

The hardest part is knowing you’re ready to get over them. While following the normal ‘getting over someone’ routine of going out alot and talking to them less, take some time to reflect on how you actually feel on the inside. If you still wish that it was them talking to you instead of a stranger at a bar, or it was them walking with you in the mall making you laugh instead of your friends, could mean that you’re not ready to move on. You have to want to get over someone before you can. Wanting to get over someone doesn’t happen overnight and it may take an experience to get the feeling. You can still love the person and what you had, but you need to learn to love what you can have. Living based on the past slows you down.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make is forcing themselves to get over someone when they don’t actually want it. It takes a few random hook-ups to realize that although that may keep you busy and make the days go faster, you still wake up wishing that special one were there instead. Once you’ve reached the stage that you’re able to genuinely smile when single, you’ll want the best for yourself.

Only a fool trips on what's behind him ---- Go Forward...THINK ABOUT IT.

The funny thing about haters is...... They're haters & its funny!!!

Wanna be in a lane all alone & stand out?

  Do the right thing continuously.

  You'll be ASTONISHING!!!!

The shortest cut to anywhere you're trying to go is the way you know!  

Be wise! 

If you take shortcuts you get cut short!

Never argue with FOOLS...Someone might see you and won't be able to tell who the real fool is!

"Show me what you brag about and i'll show you what you lack"

LADIES BEWARE!!!.....THE 5 FORBIDDEN FRUITS

THE MARRIED MAN

The legally separated man who is working to dissolve his marriage. The married man who strays every now and then, but has no intentions of leaving his wife. Then there's the married man who leads you to believe that he will soon be ending his marriage. Leaving you on standby for years.

MR LOVERMAN

The smooth operator, the playboy. You've already been warned about this guy. He has even told you about other women that he sees on occasion. You still take the challenge, with the belief that you will be the one to reform him.

YOUR BEST FRIEND'S MAN
Usually this one is a self-esteem issue, on both parts. You don't feel that you're good enough to have your own man, and the friend doesn't feel she deserves a whole man to herself.

THE SUAVE CO-WORKER
He comes to work well groomed and smelling nice. You've told him everything about you, so he knows what makes you tick. Besides the obvious pros and cons. Spending that much time together can be a timebomb ticking. If the relationship doesn't work out, you are still left working in the same environment with this person to whom you are still emotionally attached.

THE EX-MAN
Nuff said....There's a reason why he's your EX!

Give thanks! Many people use prayer when they need something, but praying is also for giving thanks for all your blessings.....
