Something To Think About: BE YOURSELF

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves. Learn to be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not. Everything isn't for everybody. What works for 1 may not work for the other. Just be the best YOU that you can be. How can people really appreciate & love you if they don't know who YOU really are?

Just a sidebar, but as I was typing this I got a flash in my head from the movie "Just Friends." If you haven't seen it you should it's a good movie. But what was going through my head was the scene when Chris, played by Ryan Reynolds, is looking for his ice skates & he calls his mom to see if she knows where they are. Chris tell his mom he’s looking for his skates because he wanted to show his H.S. crush Jamie, played by Amy Smart, how good at ice skating he got & the mother tells him he should be himself. She then goes off singing "Be Yourself!, Be Yourself!, Be Yourself!"

Better yet I found the video.. check it out below.. LOL!

Fire Tornados

What Is A Fire Tornado?

A fire whirl, colloquially fire devil or fire tornado, is a rare phenomenon in which a fire, under certain conditions (depending on air temperature and currents), acquires a vertical vorticity and forms a whirl, or a tornado-like vertically oriented rotating column of air. Fire whirls may be whirlwinds separated from the flames, either within the burn area or outside it, or a vortex of flame, itself.

These natural occurrences can be extremely dangerous, as a 1923 fire tornado near Tokyo proved when it killed 38,000 people in 15 minutes.

Below is Video of the Fire Tornado that hit Brazil recently

KEGEL EXERCISES FOR MEN

GENERAL INFORMATION:

What is it? Kegel exercises help to strengthen the pelvic muscles and to bring back or improve bladder and bowel control. People with stress incontinence (in-KON-ti-nens) (urine leakage during activities or exercise) often do Kegel exercises. People with fecal incontinence (problems controlling bowel movement leakage) may also do Kegel exercises. These exercises are done by tightening and relaxing the pelvic muscles. Kegel exercises are also called pelvic floor muscle training or pelvic floor exercises. They must be done correctly and regularly in order to help strengthen the pelvic muscles.

What are pelvic muscles? Pelvic muscles are attached to the area between your pelvic (hip) bones. These muscles act like a strong floor to help hold your pelvic organs in place. Examples of pelvic organs are the bladder (holds urine) and rectum (holds bowel movements). Certain conditions may cause the pelvic muscles to weaken. When your pelvic muscles become weak, the pelvic organs may sag onto one another. When this happens, you may have stress incontinence or other problems.

GERMAN POP STAR ADMITS TO SLEEPING WITH EX-LOVERS WHILE HINDING SHE HAS HIV

On August 16th German pop star Nadja Benaissa (pictured above) of the group “No Angels” stood before a court in Darmstadt, Germany weeping. Nadja, once part of the biggest-selling German girl group to date, stands trial this week facing charges of aggravated assault due to allegations she had unprotected sex with her ex-lovers without informing any of them of her HIV status. Nadja, now 28, was told of her status at the tender age of 17 following a routine screening. Of the three men she’s said to had sex with between 2000 and 2004, one of them was infected with HIV and is proclaiming he contracted the disease from Nadja. Nadja was arrested last year and served ten days in jail.

Shake Them Haters Off!

SHAKE THEM HATERS OFF!

A hater is someone that is jealous and envious and spends all their time

Trying to make you look small, so they can look tall. They are very

Negative people. Nothing is ever good enough!



When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters... That's

Why you have to be careful who you share your blessings and your dreams

With because some folk can't handle seeing you blessed... It's dangerous

To be like someone else... If God wanted you to be like somebody else.

He would have given you what He gave them.



You don't know what people have gone through to get what they have...

The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don't

Know my story... If the grass looks greener on the other side of the

Fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too.

We've all got some haters among us!

Some people don't like it that you can:

-Have a relationship with God

-Light up a room when you walk in

-Start your own business

-Tell a man/woman to get lost (if they aren’t about the right thing)

-Raise children without both parents being around & not ask for a dime from anyone

-Haters don't want to see you happy

-Haters don't want to see you succeed

-Haters don't want you to get the Victory

You can handle your haters by:

--Knowing who you are and who your true friends are

--Having a purpose to your life

--By remembering what you have is by divine prerogative and not human

Manipulation.

Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be

Unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called

You to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when it's your

Time to leave this earth, you want to be able to say, I've lived my life

And full-filled my dreams ... I'm ready to go HOME! Only the Strong

Survive



When God gives you a favor, you can tell your haters, "Don't look at

Me...Look at who is in charge of me..."

Watch out for Haters...........BUT most of all don't become a HATER Yourself!

~*~ Value Of Friends ~*~

It is a difficult time sometimes to come to the rational that some people in your life have no "value" to give! 


Now, when I say value and I am not talking about assets, bank accounts, money, cars, house, apartment... I mean to take the time and really look at how much value a person can provide is a difficult yet "eye opening" situation.   It always amazes me how fast you can let someone walk out of your life.  Well there is a saying that fast as you come is fast as you go!  Nevertheless it is a person’s value that should determine how fast he/she can leave. 

What happens when you value more to a person than they value to you? I believe that there comes a point where we have to look at the value of all the people that we deal with on a weekly, daily, month and hourly basis.  After looking at who adds value to your life then you can look at the people who do not any value and realize that it is not their value that you are looking at but more so their immediate satisfaction of being apart of your life.   Every one that is apart of your life is not necessarily there for value but more so for a season or reason! 

Look at your list of friends and mates and see how much value do they really have in my life... Some of the nuances of life that we experience can be avoided because we are giving someone who has no value in our life the placement of someone who has longivity and value....  An associate can not be a friend because a friend’s value is more than an associate or aquantiance can ever be!  Know your value to someone and make sure you know the value of your peers to you.... Just a food for thought!

How Many Faces Would Someone Say That You Have?

How many faces would someone say that you have?

I am perplexed at times because I often take time to look at myself in the mirror and say how many faces would someone say I have! It is just something that makes me think from time to time. I try to keep it real and I definitely try to be seriously real and truthful with the people who I call "my peeps"....  In life we all have to have someone or peeps that we can remove the masks of the many faces we portray and be real wit!  I do not see the purpose of calling someone friend, brother, sister, cuz or companion if you can not keep it real with them...   MESS is something that creates itself in a relationship (whether it be friendship, or a partner relationship) when the bond between you and the next person is not kept true and one of you have put on a face that should not be there...

If you are my friend and I am yours then I am going to be real with you and keep the faces out of who we are to one another... REALNESS, lets keep it that way because you can not be close to someone if you are not real with them. I believe that there is a certain level of realness that should come from your closer relationships with someone. If you knew me for years then you should be a support of me... well "should" is the word and sometimes we have to look at ourselves before we start to evaluate whether or not someone is being themselves or have a face on! 

My friends know that if I call you friend then that means I love you regardless of the situations that may arise.... BUT... if I call you friend I expect that you are going to tell me the real deal and not the face that you put on with others to make it seem like "A" when it is really "B".  It astonishes me how people can throw lies so much to the point that when he/she opens their mouth the first thought that you have is which lie are they going to tell today!  LOL 

That brings me to the face called "center of attention"...  Do you always have to be the center of attention? Albeit, I am the type of person that does not mind working in the background I am yet still at times brought to the center of attention... NOT because of who I am or what I know but because of what I do... Some of the church people’s know that is called being "blessed" and what you sow in silence...God rewards openly! 

Nevertheless, my point is remove the faces that we carry sometimes and show people the real you. It is appreciated more when getting to know you. No one is perfect and no one has all of their stuff in perfect order. So if you want to be valued by your love ones, colleagues, friends and associates... Be true to yourself by being true to them! Take off the faces of life, the faces of living in the past and not for the present or future, the faces of lies, deception and confusion, the faces of false pretenses and disrespect... Be yourself because when you are yourself … that’s really "A GOOD LOOK!"

 
*** Please Note *** I did not write this. I came across it and it hit home for me especially after these past couple of years with me weeding out my true friends and all. I hope this strikes a nerve in others the same way it did me.
