**Wait to Marry this Man**

Growing up, I was always told…

- Be the man who brings her flowers to work.
- Be the man who always opens the door for her.
- Be the man who buys her gifts to show how much I care.

But what I was never told is to wait for the man who does things for you in silence. The things that almost go unnoticed because they weren’t flashy, expensive, or done for the public eye.

What I should have been told was this…

Wait for the man who gives you affection without expecting anything in return.

Wait for the man who humbly apologizes when he's wrong.

Wait for the man who invests his time in you.

Wait for the man who stays true to his character.

Wait for the man who truly listens to you.

Wait for the man who protects you.

Wait for the man who will hurt other women's feelings to protect yours.

Wait for the man who wakes up every day finding new ways to love you.

Wait for the man who goes to church with you on Sunday mornings.

Wait for the man who continuously shows effort.

Wait for the man who wakes up and says good morning with a gentle kiss on your forehead.

Wait for the man who refuses to entertain any woman that isn't you.

Wait for the man who stays true to his intentions.

Wait for the man who respects your wishes.

Wait for the man who genuinely asks how your day was and cares about the answer.

Wait for the man who makes you a priority, not an option.

Wait for the man who knows it's not about giving you the world but making you feel like you're the only one in it.

Take my advice… wait for the man who will never let you go to sleep at night wondering if you still matter.

People these days don't apologize for doing wrong; instead, they blame us for reacting the way we do. They shift the focus away from their own misconduct and onto our response, as if our emotions and reactions are the problem, not their harmful actions.

This blame-shifting tactic is a masterful deflection, designed to:

- Avoid accountability for their wrongdoing
- Make us feel guilty for standing up for ourselves
- Distract from the real issue at hand
- Paint themselves as the victim, rather than the perpetrator
- Manipulate our emotions and gain control over the situation

But here's the truth: our reactions are a natural consequence of their actions. We have every right to feel upset, angry, or hurt when someone wrongs us. And we shouldn't be blamed for expressing those emotions.

Demand genuine apologies and accountability. Don't let them turn the tables on you. Remember, you have the right to stand up for yourself and express your feelings without being blamed or gaslighted.

BY AGE 40 YOU SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THIS:

1. Someone makes 10x more than you do in a 9-5 job because they have more "leverage" with their work.

2. Distraction is the greatest killer of success. It stunts and destroys your brain.

3. You shouldn't take advice from people who are not where you want to be in life.

4. No one is coming to save your problems. Your life's 100% your responsibility.

5. You don't need 100 self-help books, all you need is action and self discipline.

6. Unless you went to college to learn a specific skill (ie. doctor, engineer, lawyer), you can make more money in the next 90 days just learning sales.

7. No one cares about you. So stop being shy, go out and create your chances.

8. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete.

9. Smoking has 0 benefit in your life. This habit will only slow your thinking and lower your focus.

10. Comfort is the worst addiction and cheap ticket to depression.

11. Don't tell people more than they need to know, respect your privacy.

12. Avoid alcohol at all cost. Nothing worse than losing your senses and acting a fool.

13. Keep your standards high and don't settle for something because it's available.

14. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

15. Train yourself to take nothing personally to save yourself from 99.99% of mental problems.

16. If you don't separate yourself from distractions, your distractions, will separate you from your GOALS.

THE STORY OF THE DRAGONFLY

From the book "Tales to grow and heal" by Michel Dufour

"At the bottom of an old pond lived a group of larvae that did not understand why when any of them ascended through the long lily stalks to the surface of the water, they never descended again where they were.

They promised each other that the next of them who would rise to the surface, would return to tell the others what had happened to him.

Shortly after, one of these larvae felt an irresistible desire to ascend to the surface.

He began to walk upwards through one of the thin vertical stems and when he was finally outside he began to rest on a lily leaf. Then she experienced a magnificent transformation that turned her into a beautiful dragonfly with beautiful wings.

He tried to keep his promise, but it was in vain.

Flying from one end of the pond to the other, she could see her friends in the background.

Then he understood that even if they in turn had been able to see her, they would never have recognized one of their companions in this radiant creature.

The fact that after that transformation that we call death, we cannot see our friends or family, or communicate with them, does not mean that they have ceased to exist...

They are not here, they went to another place to take care of us from there with a different view.

"Death is nothing more than a change of mission."

“I WISH YOU ENOUGH!"
Recently, I overheard a Mother and Daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the Daughter's departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the Mother said:
"I love you and I wish you enough."
The Daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom." They kissed and the Daughter left.
The Mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say Good-Bye to someone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever Good-Bye?"
"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.
When you were saying Good-Bye, I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"
She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.
"When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory,
"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."
She then began to cry and walked away.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them. And an entire life to forget them.

I crave a gentle life.
I know what hell looks like already.
More harsh lessons aren’t necessary.
Give me soft evenings, sweet as chocolate.
Nights worn like wool.
Let’s laugh till we’re in tears,
alongside those who make loving us look easy.
I want to breathe in the air of everywhere I once dreamt of making memories.
Though my hardships have shaped me,
in beautiful and painful ways that I will forever be grateful for,
I want my days to be full and affectionate.
I want to be formless,
someone who flows and moves without worry.
Some days I’m water.
Others, I’m lava.
Both are real.
Both are me.
All versions of me are honest and necessary.
Who I am is safe when respected.
I’d rather be a great friend to a few
than an acquaintance to many.
I’d rather be widely accepting
than widely accepted.
I want to be the one that others know it’s safe to turn to.
I want to be the person who I needed all those years ago.
There’s a softness within me that wasn’t always there.
It grew from heinous places.
Cold, callous, remorseful places.
My softness is my greatest strength.
To not be hardened by the very things meant to break you,
that’s what I’m most proud of.
Now, everyone near me gets my light.
This way we all shine.

You’ll learn,
as you get older,
that rules are made to be broken.
Be bold enough to live life on your terms,
and never, ever apologize for it.

Go against the grain,
refuse to conform,
take the road less traveled
instead of the well-beaten path.
Laugh in the face of adversity,
and leap before you look.

Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching.

March to the beat of your own drummer.
And stubbornly refuse to fit in.

"The feminine cannot, will not surrender
To the wounded masculine...

A man who criticizes her
Belittles
Dishonours
Controls
Manipulates
Abuses
Or attacks her

Her own inner masculine will not allow it
He will rise fiercely to the forefront
To stand guard
To do the job himself

The feminine can and will only surrender
To the divine masculine...

A man who is devoted to her
Elevates
Honours
Cherishes
Supports
And protects her

A man with boundaries
Presence
Direction
Integrity
Accountability
And humility

In this space
She will feel him penetrating her very essence...

Her body
Her mind
Her heart
Her soul

And she will feel safe...
Safe enough to surrender

This is the natural law
This is the dance of healed polarities

This is surrender...
To Love"

Bob Marley once said:💞💞💞
"You may not be her first,
her last, or her only.
She loved before
she may love again.
But if she loves you now,
what else matters?
She's not perfect—you aren't either,
and the two of you may never be perfect together
but if she can make you laugh,
cause you to think twice,
and admit to being human and making mistakes,
hold onto her and give her the most you can.
She may not be thinking about you every second of the day,
but she will give you a part of her
that she knows you can break—her heart.
So don't hurt her,
don't change her,
don't analyze and
don't expect more than she can give.
Smile when she makes you happy,
let her know when she makes you mad,
and miss her when she's not there.
Love with your whole being when you receive love.
Because there are no perfect girls, but there will always be a girl who is perfect for you.." ❤ ❤

I once asked a very successful woman to share her secret with me. She smiled and said to me…
“I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters.
I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me…
I stopped fighting with my in laws…
I stopped fighting for attention…
I stopped fighting to meet peoples expectation of me…
I stopped fighting for my rights with inconsiderate people..
I stopped fighting to please everyone…
I stopped fighting to prove they were wrong about me….
I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight…
And I started fighting for my vision, my dreams, my ideas and my destiny.
The day I gave up on small fights is the day I started becoming successful & so much more content.”
Some fights are not worth your time….. Choose what you fight for wisely.❤️

She sat at the back and they said she was shy,
She led from the front and they hated her pride,

They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance, They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,

When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,

They told her they'd listen, then covered their ears,
And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,

And she listened to all of it thinking she should,
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,

But one day she asked what was best for herself,
Instead of trying to please everyone else,

So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,

She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,
And she told them what she'd been told time after time,

She told them she felt she was never enough,
She was either too little or far far too much,

Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,

Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,
And she stopped...and she heard what the trees said to her,

And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,
For the forest said nothing. It just let her breathe.'

"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho

‘The Alchemist’ is a captivating novel written by the esteemed Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, first published in 1988. The story follows the journey of Santiago, a young shepherd from Andalusia, who embarks on a quest to fulfill his Personal Legend, guided by the wisdom of the Language of the World and the Alchemist.

At the outset of the story, Santiago is plagued by a recurring dream about a treasure hidden in the Egyptian pyramids. He encounters an old man who claims to be a king and urges him to pursue his dream, which he dubs his Personal Legend. Santiago resolves to sell his flock of sheep and travel to Tangier to pursue his dream, but he is promptly robbed and left destitute. He perseveres and takes up work with a crystal merchant, learning the value of persistence and hard work.

Santiago ultimately saves enough money to continue his journey, and along the way, he meets an Englishman searching for the Alchemist, a wise man possessing the secrets of the Philosopher's Stone. They journey together to an oasis where they finally meet the Alchemist, who teaches Santiago about the Language of the World and the importance of following one's heart. Santiago learns to communicate with the wind, the sun, and the desert, and falls in love with a woman named Fatima.

As Santiago approaches the pyramids, he is captured by a band of thieves who coerce him into revealing the location of his treasure. Ultimately, Santiago comes to the realization that the true treasure he sought was not the gold and riches he initially sought but rather the journey itself and the lessons he learned along the way. He returns to the oasis, reunites with Fatima, and discovers that the treasure he had been seeking was buried beneath a tree where he had slept at the outset of his journey.

‘The Alchemist’ is a timeless and thought-provoking tale. It is an interesting read, particularly suited for those who enjoy philosophical reflections and inspirational stories about personal growth and self-discovery.

"The black sheep usually doesn't follow the crowd because every once in a while, the crowd is literally going the wrong way in mass. It takes a black sheep to stand out and say, 'Hey, I think we're headed off a cliff here!' They may be labeled as outcasts or rebels, but in reality, they're the ones who are brave enough to challenge the status quo and forge their own path.

Let's celebrate the black sheep in our lives - the ones who inspire us to think differently, to question the norms, and to embrace our individuality. "

If milk gets bad, it becomes yogurt. Yogurt is more valuable than milk. If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese. Cheese is more valuable than both yogurt and milk. And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice. You are not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person. Christopher Columbus made a navigational error that made him discover America. Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin. Don’t let your mistakes get you down. It is not practice that makes perfect. It is mistakes we learn from that make perfect!
Don't be scared of mistakes

I do not want to be remembered as a woman who was always exhausted. I do not want to be remembered as a woman who was always stressed, always busy, always rushing, always holding herself together and pushing through.

I would like to be remembered as a relaxed woman, a compassionate woman, a curious, joyful, pleasure-loving woman. A woman who works hard and rests deeply, who loves fiercely and lives peacefully.

A woman who knows her worth and her power, who accepts her imperfections and her vulnerabilities, who embraces her limitations and her possibilities.

A woman who laughs and cries and aches and loves and is enchanted by the mess and magic and mundaneness of this beautiful, shimmering life.

When a woman leaves a long term relationship, the man’s first thoughts are often, “She found someone else” or “How could she do this?”
What men don’t consider are the times she felt terrible because she caught him talking to other women or when he disrespected her and called her names.
Women don’t just wake up one day and decide to leave. A man’s actions and words build up over time, and eventually, she can’t carry the weight anymore.
When she stops venting, getting on you, and trying to get you to see things her way, it’s because she’s preparing her escape from your toxic ways. She didn’t leave to find someone else, she left to find herself.
Fellas, appreciate your woman while you have her, before she becomes what you had.

"My best friend once asked me: “How can you tell if a person genuinely loves you?”

I replied: “Maybe you just feel it. Maybe through the effort they put in your bond."

He said: “Time. You know that a person loves you by how much time they give you. When a person decides to sit and see you cry for hours rather than being somewhere else. The phone calls, The long conversations, The texts. No one would voluntarily invest their time in you over and over if they didn’t genuinely love you.”

And that has been one of my major standards for love ever since."

LOVE THIS ANALOGY

You're holding a cup of coffee and someone accidentally bumps into you, causing it to spill everywhere.

Why did you spill the coffee?

"Because someone bumped into me."

Wrong answer.

You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. If there had been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea.

Whatever is inside the cup is what will spill out.

So, when life shakes you up, whatever is inside you will come out.

It's easy to pretend everything's fine until you're shaken.

So, we have to ask ourselves, "What's in my cup?"

When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy? Gratitude? Peace? Humility? Anger? Bitterness? A victim mentality? A tendency to quit?

Rember LIFE gives you the cup; YOU choose what to fill it with.

In my disappointment
Let me comfort myself

In my fear
Let me reassure myself

In my anger
Let me calm myself

In my stress
Let me listen to myself

In my confusion
Let me organise myself

In my uncertainty
Let me find clarity

In my heartbreak
Let me find healing and closure

In my self-doubt
Let me find confidence

In my loneliness
Let me be at home with myself

In my stress
Let me soothe myself

In my struggle
Let me be still

In my weariness
Let me rest

In my pain
Let me heal and recuperate

In my sadness
Let me purge my emotions

In my failure
Let me recover

And in my regret
Let me release all burdens of the past

So that I may re-emerge
Strong, capable
And ready to take on life once more.

🦅🦅🦅By the age of 40, the eagle's claws become too long and supple, and it cannot grab its prey with it. Its beak becomes too long and curved, preventing it from eating. The feathers on its wings and chest become too thick and heavy and prevent it from flying. The eagle is now faced with a choice: either death, or a long and painful period of change, lasting 150 days...
It flies to its nest on the top of the mountain and beats its beak against the rock for a long time until the beak breaks and comes off... Then it waits for a new beak to grow and tear its claws out. When new claws grow, the eagle pulls out its over-heavy plumage on its chest and wings... And then, after 5 months of pain and torment, with a new beak, claws and plumage, the eagle is reborn and can live for another 30 years...
Very often, in order to live, we have to change, sometimes this process is accompanied by pain, fear, doubts... We get rid of memories, habits and traditions from the past... Only freeing ourselves from the burden of the past allows us to live and enjoy the present and prepare ourselves for the future...
No matter what stage of life you are at, I wish you courage and strength to constantly change. I believe that one day we will all meet in the air... 🦅🦅🦅

Still I Rise
BY MAYA ANGELOU
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

I release my parents from the feeling that they have failed with me.

I release my children from the need to make me proud, so that they can write their own ways, according to their hearts.

I release my partner from the obligation to make me feel complete. I lack nothing in myself.

I learn with all the beings that surround me through all time.

I thank my grandparents and ancestors who met so that today I breathe life. And I release them from the faults of the past and from the wishes they did not fulfill, aware that they did the best they could to resolve their situations, within the consciousness they had at that moment.

I honor them, I love them, and I recognize their innocence.

I bare my soul before their eyes and that is why they know that I do not hide or owe anything, more than being faithful to myself and my own existence walking with the wisdom of the heart.

I am aware that I am fulfilling my life project, free of visible and invisible family loyalties that may disturb my peace and my happiness, which are my greatest responsibilities.

I renounce the role of savior, of being the one who unites or who fulfills the expectations of others.

And learning through LOVE, I bless my essence and my way of expressing, although there may be someone who cannot understand me.

I understand myself, because only I lived and experienced my story; because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.

I respect and approve.

I honor the Divinity in me and in you.

We are free.

YOU’RE NOT FOR EVERYONE
You’re not for everyone
but you are most definitely
for someone
and when you find yourself caught
in the trap of ‘people-pleasing’
remind yourself quickly
that you are ‘people’ too
and further refresh your memory
by recalling
that pleasing everyone
is not possible
it cannot be done
just like the sun cannot shine
on all faces at once
but when it does
when you are for someone
it is more than enough
you’re not for everyone
but it’s the ‘someones’
who matter most
the ‘someones’
who will breathe you new life
when your lungs forget how
love your ‘someones’
they’re the only ones
you need

You start dying slowly ;
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.
You start dying slowly :
When you kill your self-esteem,
When you do not let others help you.
You start dying slowly ;
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colours
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.
You start dying slowly :
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.
You start dying slowly :
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain
If you do not go after a dream
If you do not allow yourself
At least once in your lifetime
To run away from sensible advice
Don't let yourself die slowly
Do not forget to be happy!
~ Pablo Neruda♡
Chilean poet who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971
Via Rumi

They call us "The Elderly"
We were born in the 40-50-60’s.
We grew up in the 50-60-70's.
We studied in the 60-70-80's.
We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
We venture into the 80-90’s.
We stabilize in the 2000’s.
We got wiser in the 2010’s.
And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.
Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world.
We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3D HD TV.
We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.
Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "exennials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We've kind of "Seen-It-All"!
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE."
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!
