Ponder: 4 Ur Thgts.

Hola! Would leave you with something to ponder on as you journey through this new week. Being aware that with every new week there are new deadlines to meet. New goals that are set and waiting to be achieved; Make sure not to quit trying until you accomplish these goals. Don't give up on yourself. It's dangerous not to believe in one's self. Let's consider the following definitions;

Love is sacrifice- anonymous to giving.
Lust is selfishness- anonymous to collecting.
Patience is a great virtue {a fruit of the spirit}- comes with a great reward.
Faith- is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen {Hebrews 11: 1}.
Anger- a deadly disease, that makes us unaware of our senses
{Knowing that what one destroys within the moment they get angry is more than what caused their anger}.
Pride- a deteriorating factor which leads to destruction.
Procrastination- delaying what you can do now till later {is the 'stealer' of time, a smotherer of dreams}.
Trust- a factor, a relevant element which every true relationship should have {trusting God is the ultimate}.

We all go through difficult times and sometimes it seems endless. For those who don't already know, suicide does not solve the problem. If anything it adds to it, it compounds the problem of the family that has been left behind. Running from a problem does not solve it, facing the problem does. And it makes the person stronger. In life when you fall, get up, stand and move on.
"Action conquers fear"- Peter Nivio Zarlenga.

It has been great having you around. Hope to see you next week, have a wonderful week ahead.

RESPECT- Mister!

What have you been up to? Busy week? Hope you were able to rest this weekend. It's back to work this week. It's the beginning of a new week so we hope and pray for a fresh start. Right, let's get to today's topic. This one goes out to our fellas;

Scenario 1:
Smith goes out with his girlfriend to a function [occasion], at the function Smith meets another lady who he starts a conversation with. Smith ignores his girlfriend because he is talking to this other lady.

Scenario 2:
George constantly beats his fiancée every time he's upset.

Scenario 3:
Marvin's wife cooks his meals, does his laundry and keeps the house clean. Marvin never says 'thank you'. He treats his wife more like a slave than a companion.

What do you think of these three scenarios? Respect is the willingness to show consideration or appreciation. For now she would be focusing on our fellas in this episode. For a relationship to exist there must be two parties involved. Both parties have to [aside all other things] respect each other. As we are well aware, not all guys respect their partners- your partner being your girlfriend, fiancée or wife. The saying is, "the way a guy treats his mother is the way he would treat his wife"; Or girlfriend as the case maybe. Every lady deserves some form of respect from her man. She wouldn't be telling you how to show your partner you appreciate her, that's up to you fellas to decide. But it goes a long way to describe your personality when you appreciate your lady. In denotative meaning, respect is an attitude of admiration or esteem. Showing respect to your partner implies that, not only do you appreciate her, but you appreciate your relationship with her and you're willing to make your relationship work. To respect someone is to care, without respect you don't have a relationship.

To love is to respect, to respect is to hold your companion- your ladies in high esteem. Arnold H. Glasow said "the respect of those you respect is worth more than the applause of the multitude". Reflect on this Señor- let your actions speak louder than your words. Take care. Hasta luego!
