It Takes Two To Tango

Ladies and gentlemen, I know we all want that perfect companion. It is probably one of the only emotions everyone can truly relate to. We have grown up on the want of finding that someone who fits all of our seams and expectations. In the search of your picture-perfect man or woman, remember to search and grow in yourself. If you are not becoming the woman or man you want to become, you will not know what kind of companion to attract or devote your life to.

Women:

Often we find ourselves asking questions revolving around us. Am I pretty enough? Will I be successful in the future? Why can’t I find the man of my dreams? We look at another woman and think she has it all, the body, the hair, the perfect man, a great job, and etc. In reality, though, every woman struggles. Now your struggles may be different, but that doesn’t mean you can’t relate in some form or fashion. As women, we should understand that NO woman is higher or lower than the other. Believe in yourself. I’m not saying you won’t have doubts, but overcome those doubts with faith and God. Establish yourself in a firm and strong foundation. Once you see your worth and value the options will begin to weed themselves out. Become a Woman of God and you will attract a man of God. That boy you longed for in the past will become a glimpse of what use to be. You’ll begin to understand why guys from previous relations never worked for YOU. Lastly, you’ll know what kind of morals and values the man you invest in will hold.

Men:

It is hard to stay spiritually, mentally and physically strong in today’s society. The temptations of the world are growing stronger and stronger. Instead of looking for beauty we long for seductiveness, we rather lust over someone than adore someone, and we rather play around with our hearts then invest in their seams. Men, please know that modesty, loyalty, and kindhearted woman do still exist. When beginning to know a woman look for “wife material,” characteristics. Does she hold herself to a high standard? Is she kind to everyone? Does she have a selfless heart? Lastly, in order to find the woman worthy of marriage, you must be worthy enough to her. In order to attract a woman of God, you must be a man of God, leading her in faith and in life at all times.

Men and women:

Remember when you are dating, in a relationship, or marriage, it takes equal effort. Some individuals say the person who cares the least holds the most control. Please don’t live your relationship or dating life through this perspective. Find someone who will cherish, care, invest, be loyal, honest, love, and selfless for YOU. Men and women deserve someone’s full heart. Relationships are not a 60/40 they are a 50/50. Have high standards and a pure heart.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
