Bad Dating Advice(Social Media)

There are many people on Social Media who give the most terrible dating advice, as well as having a horrible perception and expectation of; dating, relationships and marriages.  Those people most often speak from a place of hurt from their own failed relationships. Please, I encourage all to stay away from these type of people on and off Social Media if you desire to be in a relationship or not.  Those people are hurt.  Leave them, their hurt words, perception, and ideas where you found them. #thatsurthurty

Hypocrite II

In the Holy Bible, II Corinthians 6:17 encourages those who are Believers of Christ to separate themselves from others who live lives of idolatry.  There is a list of things that fall under that category within this passage of scripture.  Along with this passage of scripture, I encourage all to look at themselves first before they start scripture shaming.

Phases of Grief

Everyone in their lifetime will experience the grief of losing loved ones and have to go through the process of grieving.  Privy to what many think and or believe, there is no certain time frame to grieve.  It depends on the person.  I encourage all who read this to journey through your process of grieving as you need to.  Don't allow anyone to put a time restraint on the way, and how long you grieve.  No one knows what you're feeling inside, or what your brain is processing.  Only you know that.  So grieve how you need to so that your heart can begin to heal.

Wrong Teachings. #thatsurthurty

Many spiritual things have not been taught as they have been overpowered by religious teachings; things out of habit that are taught as bad habits. Well, what are bad habits and why do we have them? No one has an epiphany and decides to do things that are not only harmful to themselves, but harmful to others. Many teachings within the Church are taught wrong.

Gen 'X'

I kept hearing the term and then asked what it meant.  I soon came to find out it's not a 'what', but a 'who'.  Gen X is me. I was  born in the 70's and my childhood was in the 80's.  Who comes up with stuff?😄 

I guess it's in comparison to the 'Baby Boomers' who were born in the 50's and their childhood was in the 60's.  I just figured them to be the age of my Parents, and old enough to be my parents.

Well, since I'm classified as older I guess I ought to act and speak like it.  Don't want the younger folks to think I'm ignorant😄.

Social Media

Social Media has become the catalyst for imposters. Impostering is at an all time high, lol.  There are thousands of Coaches, Experts, Producers, Prophets, Apostles, Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Authors, etc.  If you can think of, or imagine something to be, you can be just that on Social Media.

It's often hard to wade through and separate the real from the fake so I don't even try to.  If someone professes to be or work in a certain profession, I hold them to their word and leave it at that.  Who knows...if a person keeps professing to be something, they just may become that without knowing. #thatsurthurty

Jealousy

A Jealous spirit is a very dangerous spirit. It has cousins that are just as dangerous; malice, envy, lie, thief, and a few more that I can't recall at the present time.

I often wonder if I've been jealous of someone during my lifetime, probably as a child, but I don't recall anything in my adult years.  I'm very thankful that even though I haven't always been confident or even sure of who I am, I'm not envious or jealous of anyone.

The things that another person may or has accomplished isn't for me. The path another person takes isn't the path for me, and far be it from me to attempt to do something someone is doing.  I am not equipped for what they are doing, and they are not equipped for the things I have done, am doing, will do. 

We are all different for a reason.  If everyone was capable of, or doing the same things, the World would not evolve or revolve.  It would stand still. Get out of your feelings and get in motion. #thatsurthurty

The Last Word

There are many people who believe having the 'last word' is a display or expression of power.  It's not. It's a display of lack of discipline and immaturity.  

The 'last word' doesn't have the effect that most would believe it does.  It causes one to miss out on so many things and possible relationships that would be of benefit to them, for example; a job, a promotion, a business opportunity just to name a few.

The lack of discipline to shut your mouth will cause lack in many other areas.  A Lady always knows when to leave the room, and I believe a Gentleman does as well. #thatsurthurty

Acknowledge the Change

There are some people who will tell you to forget about the old you, you're not that person anymore; I agree with part of that.  I like the matter of remembering who I used to be as I'm not that person anymore.  Remembering who I was is encouragement of who I am now.  What a process to change, so I acknowledge it.

Change for everyone isn't easy and it's a hard road traveled at times.  Makes sense though, think of the people and things you've had to change or get rid of in your life that were absolutely no good for or to you. The road to inviting those people and things into your life was easy, getting rid of them are hard as there are spirits attached to those people and things.  It's not so easy to get of or be free of them.

So when you notice change in your life, take a second, maybe a minute to reflect back on who you used to be or what you used to do.  Please don't reflect long re-traumatizing yourself, just think long enough to acknowledge; 'yeah, I used to do those things, surround myself with the wrong people, struggle financially, had no clue of who I was, etc.', then acknowledge that you are none of those things now.
