You must be clear in your mind about what you want for your life. Set your standards high. Believe that you deserve the best. Do not compromise and lower your standards against your better judgment. Do not do anything that makes you unhappy in order to keep someone in your life; in the end you will regret it.

Relationships
No one wants to be alone but it is better to be alone than to be with someone who do does not love, respect, or appreciate you and makes you feel as if you are not important. There is no joy in being in love and unhappy. Living a miserable life is not living at all.

Domestic Violence Awareness
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Let’s get the conversation going.
An Open Letter to Men
From Women Against Domestic Violence
Dear Men:
It is with tears in our eyes and fear for our lives that we pen this note to you. Domestic violence has taken the lives of many of our sisters leaving many of our homes broken and our children motherless.
Men we need you to understand that we are not the enemy so stop treating us like one. We give to you our love, our passion, our understanding and compassion, we trust you with our lives and all we ask is that you reciprocate and treat us right. Don’t see our love for you as a weakness, don’t leave us with cuts and bruises, don’t crush out our joy and leave us broken.
Men you need to understand that love is not supposed to hurt. If your love is causing your woman hurt then it means that you are doing something wrong. Any boy can hurt a woman but it takes a man to make her happy. So the next time you raise your hand to hit a woman stop and ask yourself am I a boy or am I a man. Treat women with love and respect….Be A Man!

The Most Painful Thing…
Relationships are Important
Treat your relationship as if it is important. When you enter into a relationship and decide to share your life with another person it is a big thing.
Most of us when we are about to make an important decision like buying a house, a car, a piece of land or making an investment we do due diligence to make sure we are making the right choice and the right decision. Yet we trust our lives to others without giving it a care or thought. If you think deeply enough we can all agree that our lives are more important than material things.
Relationships are important. We must take the time to find out who we are getting involved with before we go in too deep.
Relationship Awareness
Awareness is important in relationship. Every woman ought to know what she wants from a relationship and what she is looking for in a partner. She must clearly define her expectations, know how much she is willing to put into the relationship and what she will not accept.
She has to predetermine that she will not accept abuse and the moment it happens she should be prepared to walk away. She needs to know that the longer she remains the more comfortable her partner gets and the more he will abuse her.
This applies to men as well. Don’t believe that because you are a man you must suffer in silence. Domestic violence is wrong and should never be accepted.
Walk Away from Abuse
Don’t stay in an abusive relationship hoping that things will get better. Don’t invest your time in an abusive relationship hoping that he will change. Don’t live your life in misery hoping someday he will love and treat you right. If you are not happy in a relationship then the relationship doesn’t matter…walk away.
2 Types of Men to Avoid
- The Gambler –
The gambler is someone to avoid unless you don’t mind living worried and broke. A Gambler has little direction in life. Instead of a plan to succeed in life they rely on luck. They often squander what little money they have trying to make it big and usually fall deeper and deeper in debt. The moment you find out you are dating a gambler end the relationship. If you value your happiness and do not want to live a life of wants run and don’t look back.
- The Alcoholic
It is often easy to tell if the man you are dating is an alcoholic by the amount of alcohol he consumes when you go out and how he behaves. Whether he is an angry drunk or a mellow drunk, it is a cause for concern. The fact that he gets drunk means he has a problem. No matter how much you like him don’t think that you can fix him. A man who consumes too much alcohol will spell trouble for you. Not only do men like that find it difficult to keep a job but they are also difficult to live with.
Be Kinder to Each Other
One important step towards empowerment as women is that we support one another. Too often women allow envy and jealousy to get in the way of friendships and in some cases good friends become bitter enemies.
Another rule of vital importance is that we respect each other’s relationship. Never contribute to the breakup of another woman’s relationship. Never be a contributing factor in why another woman’s marriage failed. If your happiness can only come about by causing another woman’s unhappiness, whatever happiness you experience will be short-lived. Don’t be a home wrecker; as women let us support and respect each other
