“But one thing I’ve learned since becoming an adult is that failure is the best teacher of all. Try it. Try it all. If you’re not good at it… try some more. Being embarrassed is not the end of the world, but maybe being afraid is.” ―  Joanna Cannon,  “Advice to my younger self: 1 Start where you are with what you have 2 Try not to hurt other people 3 Take more chances 4 If you fail, keep trying” ―  Germany Kent At the time of this post, I'm young but not so young. I've been around long enough to know the ins and outs of life. I've had my fair struggles in life and who knows what else lies ahead. Today, I just want to give God thanks that I've made it this far.   I want to share with you some hard truths that I'd teach my younger self. Of course, I can't turn back the hands of time and I'm not whining about how my life has been. It's rather a moment of truth that will help someone navigate the journeys of life.  1. Not all dreams come true. Positivity doe

  I've been foolish, But I've learned, There's just a thin line between Sanity and insanity, Good virtues and sin, There's a wild side, Sometimes too rebellious to tame, Temptation doesn't wear a sulking  face, It knows how well to bait the hook, Sweet to the mouth,  Bitter in the belly, Fire and desire, It will cost more than, You bargain for, At worst death! I used to be hung up on Everything I'd never dare to do. Out of class. Dirty.  Taboo. Yet, at my strongest,  I became weak, Compromising  values for Misty moments of pleasure, A slave to the flesh, Never wanting to be free, I've been foolish, But I've learned, Experiences teach wisdom, Time past doesn't change regret, The follies of the heart, Aren't that simple to forget, No matter how strong you think you are, Temptation is everywhere, May God lead you through an escape!

Feel like you're above them so they put you down to feel better about themselves. The greatest people have haters for a reason, so take it as a compliment. Haters gonna hate.” ―  Jeanette Coron “One negative voice aimed at me has the incredible power to drown out a thousand positive ones. One of the greatest things I can achieve is to never let it.” ―  Dan Pearce “In all spheres of life, there are constraints. You have to develop your strategy to overcome each constraint.” ―  Lailah Gifty Akita There's hardly any escape from the harsh judgment of people. They're just about everywhere. Online, at work, at home, etc. Sometimes we try so hard to put our best foot forward, only to have those efforts snuff out by other people.  Some people take pleasure in putting down others. We can't always shut them

If life gave me one last minute, Let it erase, All those tears I cried,  On lonely nights when my heart pounded Like marching soldiers in a platoon. My hopeless days of anxiety and discontentment, My bitter regrets and sore disappointments, All my dreams that weren't to be, Not this time, Bid them far from me. If life gave me one last minute, I'll paint the sunshine on my rainy days,   Tiny doses of laughter in the moments bittersweet, The glimmer of hope that trickled through my fears, Every prayer that was right on time, I'll seal them forever in the realms of my mind. If this is my last, God, let me have this peace,  Life is filled with a million memories, Some are too painful to forget,   Take me home in cheerful colors, I pray my soul finds rest in thee, Life is meant to be celebrated.  Annette Kinglock-Murray All Rights Reserved  Other poems: Need real website traffic.

Every time a person allows an act of ignorance to happen, they delay our progress for true change. Every  person, molecule, and thing matters. We become responsible for the actions of others the instant we become conscious of what they are doing wrong and fail to remind them of what is right.” ―  Suzy Kassem “Don’t start, initiate, or take on unnecessary battles.

They don't say hello the way they used to. They keep a straight face and not all smiles like you're used to. They don't make eye contact or return your calls and texts when you

Their loyalty ends where the benefits stop." “When you’re nothing, people will ignore you but when you’re on top that’s when everybody swears they know you.” — Lincey Alphonse “It’s breaking my heart the way this world is so mean to people with pure intentions and soft hearts. With time I’ve seen much cruelty towards good people that instead of being cherished, they are actually being used.” –Samiha Totanji Have you been thinking lately that someone might be using you? They could be! Maybe it's your partner, sibling, colleague, friend, boss, etc. Some people know no limit to the generosity you offer and they aren't afraid to exploit you to get whatever they need. They're always in for the taking! While there isn't anything wrong with helping others. Something is wrong when we feel as if we're being used. You may feel as though you

  She held them like thirst traps, Young, old, married men, In her courts, they surrendered, Even the strongest cower in the knees, A ravishing beauty, They all love, 'Queen V.' A tower of strength, The issuer of life, A menstrual flow train, The wonder that provokes men's hearts over continents and seas, They all love, 'Queen V.' Her kisses are honey, Her touches are never enough to be forgotten, She leaves some enthralled and out of their brains, Chanting unknown tongues, They all love, 'Queen V.' An Apple of their eyes, An arrow through their hearts, Solemnized vows, jewels, and money they surrendered them all, Cuddling in her courts warm and tender, The love of their life, Their secret keeper, Even the strongest cower in the knees, They all love, 'Queen V.'

 Hello there! Today, I want to share with you some of the most life-changing proverbs that I've selected from the work of one of my favorite authors, The wise king Solomon. As you read through these words of wisdom, I pray that their transforming power will be made manifest in your life.    ''A good name is more desirable than great riches;     to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.'' ''The prudent see danger and take refuge,     but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.'' '' Rich and poor have this in common:     The Lord is the Maker of them all.'' ''Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity,     and the rod they wield in fury will be broken.'' ''One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace     will have the king for a friend.'' ''Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,     do not associate with one easily angered,  or you may learn their ways     and get yourself ensna

How can I beat social anxiety ? Growing up, I was socially awkward. I hated being the center of attention. I lacked confidence in my abilities, and I dreaded going out in public. As I grew older, having been exposed to different environments and new people, directly and indirectly. I began to outgrow my shyness in phases. Below I'll share a few tips that will help you to overcome shyness, whether you're a teen or an adult. Can social anxiety be cured ? 1. Confront what you fear the most. There's a reason why you're shy. It could be low self-esteem, physical appearance, the environment that you grew up in, etc. The more you know about your shyness; the better able you are to take the necessary steps to overcome it.  I was always terrified of speaking in public. I was afraid that people would laugh at me, because my voice might sound timid, and I wouldn't speak as polished as I should.  I was often called on to read at church. At first, I sounded off and you could hea
