The World Owes You Nothing, But You Owe Yourself The World

As long as you are breathing, you will face problems on Earth. But you must understand that you are not the only one with problems. The lower class have a hard time keeping bread on the table. The middle class have a hard time keeping bread in their accounts. The upper class have a problem with sharing their bread. Now while this may not apply to every individual from each class, it does apply to many oftentimes.

What does this have to do with me?

Everything. When you hit a brick wall with your finances, you tend to single yourself out as if it has only happened to you. You get in your feelings and begin playing the “blame game” so people can feel sorry for you and offer aid. But you tend to leave out how you brought much of your stress and frustration on yourself in some instances. People from all walks of life do have problems of their own. They’re just not airing it on social media or bogging you down with it. And it’s because they understand that they are not exempt from encountering problems. It doesn’t mean they are not affected by them either. They just deal with them accordingly so they don’t worsen. When you realize that each day has enough trouble of its own, you learn not to spend too much time on present-day problems. Like laundry, if you let problems pile up, the load will only get heavier. Lighten your load before you explode!

So how do I give myself the world?

By protecting your peace. More money won’t bring you peace. A new body won’t bring you peace. A new car or home won’t bring you peace. A new job or career won’t bring you peace. A new mate won’t bring you peace either. You get my drift? You’re responsible for your own peace and how you obtain that is by learning to effectively manage the problems in your life. You can face a problem in ANY aspect of life, and that problem will welcome unwanted stress if you let it.

“Stress kills and joy fills.” (I’m G.O.O.D. Getting Over Obstacles Daily, Vol. 1)

“Peace and joy are priceless because they secure happiness. Though they may seem elusive at dark times, they deserve the energy burned trying to obtain them. Your sanity is worth it. Otherwise, you’ll lose yourself in a battle that can leave you scarred for life.” (I’m Still G.O.O.D. Getting Over Obstacles Daily, Vol. 2)

Turn your problems into solutions and your pity into a purpose. Then you can enjoy a world full of peace .

Don’t be selfish. Share this with your family and friends!

Queen Status

As I adjust my crown and look around,

I see things that used to get me down.

It took me some time getting here,

But the peace I’ve gained is ever so clear.

I’ve done some things I’m not proud of.

I’ve said things I can’t take back.

And though I’ve sincerely apologized,

People still cut me no slack.

But everything happens for a reason.

Every friendship has its season.

Life ain’t about what people think of you.

It’s about what you believe in.

So carry on with your life,

And gently leave your mark.

Submit to a higher power,

And silence your bark.

Humble people are not heard,

Yet the first to be noticed.

Your walk will shame the

loudest, baddest, and the boldest.

If you really are a queen,

Stop entertaining everything.

Pick up your crown,

And go find your king.

People Should Come with Warning Signs

No one is perfect, and no one ever does everything right. But it does not give one an excuse to go around infecting others with bad poisonous, unapologetic behavior. If you desire to become better, you must learn to accept constructive criticism. Every attempt to correct your behavior is not an attack.

People who are passive try to avoid arguments, but they too can reach their boiling points. Then, you’re going to throw salt on their names because they’ve finally reacted to your bad attitude, rudeness, selfishness, manipulation, treachery, and wickedness.

Most of us know our flaws. Some of us are afraid to admit them. The problem comes when you try to suppress them instead of facing them. Clearly, you must adjust your behavior in certain environments such as the workplace, church, etc. But if you are not willing to change, then you need to purchase a ‘warning’ label (figuratively speaking).

If all your adult life all you do is complain about how others affect you, then you need to make some serious changes within. Your public demeanor might be impressive, but your soul is a mess. You can’t change the people around you, but you can change the way you respond in certain situations. Everyone is not like you. Therefore, everyone does not have to agree with you. And just because people don’t agree with you doesn’t mean they are toxic or ignorant.

Steadfast loyalty does not expire or become compromised when two people have differences. It is dangerous to move with your emotions like that. When differences start creating distances, your alliance with that person weakens. It is not fair to abandon a healthy relationship just because a person doesn’t see things your way all the time. It just means a person has logic, and you definitely need people like that on your team. Logical people are capable of using deductive reasoning. They base their opinions on facts rather than opinions. They are usually good at giving sound advice and practical approaches to a given situation. Why wouldn’t you want someone like that on your team?

The reason being is that you are irrational and want to control every environment and situation. You want to always leave room for an outing because you’re untrustworthy and unreliable. On top of that, you have conditional loyalty. But how could loyalty be conditional? Either you have it or you don’t right? Well, when you’re dealing with a narcissist, anything is possible.

If you display any of this type of behavior, it’s time to get a check up from the neck up. Otherwise, you’re going to continue losing some good friends and missing out on grand opportunities because you’re not reliable and you can’t be trusted. But if of course you don’t need anyone and think you have life all figured out, then stay just the way you are. As a narcissist, you require adulation and lots of attention, so eventually you will get lonely.
