What The men In My Life Have Taught Me

The men in my family play an imporant key role in my life. Their advice is always helps to get through any situation I am going through. Today, I will be talking about some tips and advice, that they gave to me that has helped me the most, to hopefully help someone who is going through a hard time.

1. Don't let loneliness control you

One thing my brother told me before I went to college is to not let loneliness get to you. In high school, I remember a girl who ever knew, who everyone notice. Then I came to college all that stopped and loneliness settled in. I had to get used to being by myself and not to seek attention from certain people. I had to notice that not all attention is good attention.

2. You have the power

In the dating world, knowing your worth is important asset. Having self love is the first important key to have whether you are single or in a relationship. Knowing that you have the power of self-love and self-worth is a game charger. Because this asset lets the person you are interested with or in a relationship know that you will not tolerate disrespect or mistreated; because you owe yourself more than that.

3. On to the next

My father would tell me this, when I would face rejection. Just continue to move on and something else or someone else will come. Just because something did not work out, it is not the end of the world. Something else will come your way, something better.

4. Don't tell all your business to people

Telling everyone your business is a no go. Letting everyone know your ambitions, money amount, relationship problems, or just about your life in general is not good. There are some people in this world that just talks to you just to get information about your life just to gossip and add their two cents; which is unnecessary. Letting people know a little bit about yourself is fine, but not your whole life. Because people will go and run wit you. You will even face some people who will want to be in your shoes, so telling them your next steps, about your relationship or job will only help them try to out do you.

5. Watch People Actions

Have you ever dated someone who promise they will change but their actins do not match? I have. I noticed the words are nothing compared to a person actions. The way a person treats you is how they really feel towards you. Don't fall for words because that can lead to disappointed when not followed through. Try this. Examine a friend or a significant other. Examine how they treat you. You will quickly find out how they actually fel about you. People actins say everything. If a person treats you with disrespect, they have no respect for you. Also, examine yourself why you are letting this person fill up with broken promises. Its 2018, we have not time for broken promises anymore.

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.
