settling for less.

written september 21st, 2006

There is absolutely no reason to ever settle for less than the best. The only reason you get less is because you don’t ask for exactly what you want. Sometimes you may think you don’t deserve more than what you have and are afraid of being a “pest” if you demand more. Don’t ever think that you want too much. Don’t ever allow someone to give you anything smaller then 100%. I don’t care what the situation is. You’ll end up going through life believing that you’re being cheated or that the world owes you something. Life is way too short to accept anything but the best. It’s not like we’re offered 3 lives to live. We’re only given one. You have your opportunity to express your highest self therefore use it. You may believe that if you get what you want, you will lose something else or something bad will happen to take what you already have. That’s not true at all. Life will give you as much as you nurture it. The more we value ourselves & our intellect, the more we will realize that we deserve nothing but the best. We must consistently think this way in life & when dealing with people. Especially when you’re dating or approaching a relationship. Whether it’s friendly or romantic. Don’t be fooled by him saying you’re not his girl therefore you’re not entitled to certain things like respect and being treated like a real woman should. Don’t be fooled by her saying that she can’t comfort & understand your jealousy because she’s not your girl. How do you expect to survive in this world by thinking so selfishly or by accepting people giving you the half ass end of the stick?….

Oh I get it…you think because you got short hair, stand at 5? 6? & weigh 235 pounds it’s impossible for someone to treat you right? Superficial ways of thinking don’t last too long in the world today. You don’t have a fly ass whip like these “ballers” and you still live at home with your mother but you do have a job, contribute to the home and have a mind of gold. Materialistics are around to keep the shallow ones busy. They’re there to keep them away from the good, well-grounded people like you and I. No matter what you see, there is always more to a person then what’s on the outside. When I need someone to talk to, don’t just hear me…listen to me. When you part your lips to kiss me to show me how much you care, kiss me. Don’t give me a measly peck or even worse…rape my face. When you open your arms, inviting me to be comforted, nurture me. Don’t squeeze me for 5 seconds then try to undress me. When you tell me that you will be there for me, be there for me. I will give just as much as I receive. It’s too easy & just as simple as that. If you think I’m “demanding” for too much then I don’t need you in my life anyways. Period. These are the simplest things you can do for someone if you truly care for them. Accepting some half ass handout means I’m settling for less. So, in order to receive nothing but the best you got to give nothing but your best. You can be loved so much and so fulfilled without doing anything. All you need is a caring heart and a strong view of self-respect
