In The Morning

I must say that waking up in the morning is truly the best thing in the world to me.  I feel the morning is a second chance from God, as should you. When I open my eyes I am thankful, so thankful that...I want to jump up and sing.  I look out my window and I see the beautiful world that is mine for the taking.  I hug and kiss my mom, I excercise, I have breakfast, and then I turn on the news.  Once I turn on the news its all down hill from there...  Why is it that only my morning seems to be beautiful?  Why is it that some individuals wake up suicidal, homeless, hungry, plotting evil?  I am truly thankful to God for my mornings and all of my day.  There have been mornings when I have woke up crying, there are mornings where I wake up very unpleasantly (i.e. honking horns, police sirens, lawn mowers).  The bottomline is whatever problem you are having the moment you open your eyes can be fixed, because you have been given a second chance.  You can't do anything about your pass, but you can for sure change your future.

Your Adult Life

They say that what happens to you growing up will have a profound effect on how you react to things in your adult life.  For instance if a little girl often sees here father coming and going as he pleases and her mother is always crying; is there a chance that this little girl will allow men to treat her this way? If a child is often beaten and neglected, does he/she become a serial killer?  I believe we all wish that we could go back to our childhood, have a chance to start over again.  What kind of decisions would you make, would you be true to who you really are? Truth is we all make mistakes, and we are accountable for our own actions.  You can't go around blaming anyone but yourself in your adult life.  You can't blame the person who broke your heart for it made you stronger.  You can't blame cops for throwing your ass in jail, you know right from wrong.  We all want to place blame, you can't even blame your parents because they tried to tell you...and you thought you knew it all. The only problem I have with childhood really is what I was taught in school.  There was never a class called "budgeting" or "how to work a 9-5", "teamwork", "how to write a resume", "proper money mgmt", "how to recover from a broken heart", "anger management", "respect for one another"....I mean seriously! Where would we all be in the world had we learned these things at a young age?

A Gift and A Curse

Physical beauty is something that seems to drive everyone these days.  Beauty on the inside is well, "frowned upon" if you will.  I believe beauty to be a gift and a curse.  I have seen what society deems as beautiful people, being treated differently simply because of their "beauty".  That's all well and good but the funny thing is I have never seen two beautiful people together in a  loving whole relationship...why is that?  Why do men cheat with women who are the complete opposite of their wives?  There is usually nothing beautiful about the other woman at all.  Perhaps the other woman takes it up the ass, which in most cases is "beautiful" to some men.  I digress.  My point in just because someone is beautiful physically means absolutely nothing at all.  If you are in fact beautiful, you will be told this regularly, but when it comes to getting what you want i.e. a certain kind of man or woman,  a certain kind of job, whether or not you'll be the wife or the mistress, beauty can play against you in a very, very cruel way.  Beauty is accepted, not desired...a gift and a curse.
