Lifetime lessons.

The biggest lesson i have learned this year is probably not to give so much of your self to people who will not do the same for you.

Sometimes you sacrifice alot for people who will never sacrifice for you ......

I mean sacrifice anything.

Sometimes you are always there thinking they will always be there until something comes up.

That is life.....

It has tought me forgiveness is infinitely available for the wronged person bcoz it sets you free.

It releases you from the quick sad situation that holds you back.

But it doesn't mean that you need to place yourself in front of that bus to be moved on again.

Yes it feels right to give a second chance but in some situations just forgive the person and let him go....

Understand the value in the lesson and the lesson they brought and move on without them in your life.

Don't put yourself in a position were you are repeatedly being damaged.

Never forget that your are worth being treated nice, you are worth being appreciated and you are worth being someone's everything.

That life......

In life we mingle alot with new guys forming new bonds and having crushes on those we mingle with.

But sometimes it better if we let that crush remain a crush,that caring friend remain a friend,that nice colleague remain a colleague .....

Than taking it to a step higher and hurt each other in the process.

How many of your destiny helpers will you have feelings for before you realise God has not placed everyone in your life for you to date?Sometimes it wise to put your feelings to yourself and just enjoy the beautiful friendship.

This will be important for you to avoid hurting each other more.Probably you were maybe meant to be just friends not lovers.

Trust me with time feelings will always pass but friendship willnever pass...

That is life.....

In life sometimes it gets too tough all your dreams crushing,what you have been building for so long crumbling and watch it fall for you can do nothing about it.

Sometimes the pain is too much and all you can do is break on to tears.

This was me ,i thought my world was crushing,i thought my poetry life was over,the day i got terminated from poetry shows....

I thought i could never ever make it,but now I believe that i will see onother day to say that i made it.

A day to say i knew i would get rockey,thorny and teary....

But i told myself never to be defined by whatever i go through for i knew the sorrows would last for the night but day light would eventually come in the morning......

In life people will blame you for involving them in your plan to achievement and success.

They will call you names and go ahead to cutting you off,

but what they forget is that you told them every important thing but they never took it seriously.

You kept updating them about everything but all they could see is your mistakes and your faults.

You tried to make any other conversation but it was never possible making you think you were wrong for informing them.

In this life there will be someone who will always what to blame you for their downfall,pain,rejection and struggle.......

But the most amazing thing is that most of the people know who you truly are humble,patient,kind,loving and generally a good person.

One stain should never make you throw away a white cloth....
