Take Flight

There will come a morning you will rise up singing. Glowing, just bursting at the seams. Let no one steal your joy. Be passionate about your passions. Don't ever apologize for who you are. We were made in HIS image. Perhaps those who want to alter or interfer are just meddling. Let them. Fear not their ill will or so-called "good intentions." Stay strong. Remain in the essence of you, now and forever. Has anyone out there ever felt an unyeilding want to change or better yourself in someway? and yet when are in the midst of doing just that, someone takes it upon themselves to "push" you along. Sure some will really want to help, but some just don't know the proper way to do that. Some people, lack tact. It's often an honest flaw. Pure in the sense, that it is often unitentional. However, it can be detrimental to the deliverer if the recepient is not...well, not receiptive. There has to be a level of respect and honor. Respect enough to listen and try to get an understanding, and honor the person for enduring and then being able to communicate. There has to be some empathy and a lil consideration. Don't offer advice unless you are sure the advisee is in the condition to take it for all that it is worth. One must be soft and even pacifying in a sense. It almost comes back to the saying if you don't have something nice to say then do not say nothing at all. Ladies, how often do you give your girl a hard time about the sleeze ball she is dating. Instead of listening objectively, you ridicule and critisize her for not making the choices you feel are best. So now she feels even worse about herself and her situation than she did before she opened up to you? So her man and her friend has hurt her feelings. Seems a lil wrong don't it? And fellas, how many of you pick on your boi, calling him whipped or sprung, just because he loves to love his woman, who obviously is giving just the type of lovin he needs? Never underestimate the power of a woman. Some of us, believe so much in others, we lose sight of ourselves. We hold on, when we really should spread our wings and fly. Like the butterfly, we must change. Some say take everything and pray. Every emotion, every feeling, every action, every single thing..send it up in prayer. I agree. Amen!!! However, when we as people do turn to eachother for any reason, be it to vent or talk or laugh or just to her someone say nice things or lift your spirits when you're feeling low and just crappy or when you want to sream and cry and break things... I ask when we call on eachother, let us be kind in our approach. Let us be gentle with our teachings, they won't get thru if no one is listening. Be aware of exactly you were called on for. If someone just wants to talk, don't bombard them with advice. If someone wants advice, don't be cruel, judgemental or condescending in your delivery. Or If someone wants something you cannot offer, such as man demanding a relationship and him not understanding your position on why not, to a lady wanting a guy to tell her sweet, romantic nothings....don't do it. Nobody wins when it's forced and false. Stay near to God. Keep love in your heart.
