Today's Thought: Unconditional Love vs. Unconditional Tolerance

 


Facts...I don't know why some people equate unconditional love with unconditional tolerance. If someone shows you their true colors, believe them. They're not going to change, so why continue putting up with them? I don't care how solid someone is, nobody is capable of unconditional love. Should someone love a person who continually disrespects them? I'll wait.

Today's Thought: None Of Your Business

 

Since when did folks feel entitled to your business? Some people swear you're hiding stuff if you're not telling your business to everyone with a listening ear. Newsflash, some people get close to you just so you can tell them your business; next thing you know it's nationwide. People have the right to secrecy, like it or not.

Facts...What was important to me when I was younger, is not important at 40, and that's ok.

Live!

 


This is tough for me to learn, but I have to do it. I, like many people don't like most of the pain in our lives that's out of our control, but I'm learning to push through all the bullcrap in life to reach my comfort zone. I'm all for speaking life into dead situations because who wants to be content when something can be changed? Not me, but...the reality is that you'll have some struggles for life because we live in a fallen world. I don't like it anymore than anyone else, but it's facts.

What Happens In The Family, Stays In The Family?

 

Once upon a time, family meant something to most people, but not anymore. Families are estranged: Some members aren't speaking to other family members for whatever reason, the aunts/grandparents have favorites, etc. It's sad, but as I've gotten older I've understood the reason: Families would rather sweep "dirt" under the rug. That uncle who's a sex offender; the grandkids are uncomfortable in his presence because he's molested or is molesting them. The kid(s) can't go to any other trusted adult in the family because the other adults will discount the kid(s) feelings. Black families are notorious for fronting, knowing good & well some stuff needs to be exposed. How can you heal from what you're not willing to expose? 

Gentle Parenting

  Gentle parenting breeds disrespectful & entitled kids.🀦🏾😎I’m glad I was raised old-school.
