All of the great achievers throughout history have one thing in common. They have all been dreamers or desirers. If anyone is to achieve their goals in life then the first thing they need to do is establish what their desires are. That's what makes people who are highly successful different from the rest - they know exactly what they want in life....however, many people lack self confidence and are unwilling to set their aims higher through fear of failing. This sometimes develops due to people close to them. They send out discouraging negative signals, and they feel they are unrealistic with their goals and life choices. Make a list; Yes, you heard me, "make a list" of the pro's and con's of what you desire in a man, a woman, sexual relationship, job and life?
There's no substitute for the trial and error nor is it predictable and effortless, ...what you desire sets the pace for how your life will play out. You’ll begin checking the list items off one by one and while doing this you'll learn more about yourself along the way. You'll also learn to respect yourself more. On the relationship side of it; Jealousy is the dragon in paradise, you don't want to breathe fire on your man and chase him away, you want to ignite his flame so that he'll want to surrender himself to you. Wise up ladies, although that saying holds true that there are a lot of fish in the sea, once you find the one that interests you and makes you all giddy, hang on to him, and for goodness sake,... BE POSITIVE...because if you don't, there are a lot of piranhas that are waiting and they are hungry with desire and would not think twice to gulp your man right up! The 3 words a man never wants to hear a woman utter are " Don't Leave Me!"
Don't let any insecurities show! Believe me when I say.... nothing sends a man running without his feet hitting the floor faster are insecurities and jealousy. This is where the man feels like he always has to walk on eggshells, hence the fact that this will cause any chance of a true relationship to literally self destruct!
In order to desire someone else you have to love yourself first! You have to Be True to YOU!

ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your notes. I found you on Twitter. I look everyday to see your new articles. It's almost exciting to read them...you have a twist and write so freely as if its coming directly from you, w/o anyone instructing what you can or cannot write. Seems like you are driving this bus!
