DON'T WASTE YOUR TOMORROW THINKING ABOUT YESTERDAY.

If you don't forget about your past, you can never embrace your future. If you are not careful,
The past will hold you. The more you look backward, the less you are able to look forward.
The past is not the only determining factor of what God can do for you today.
The more you look backward, the less you are able to look forward. The past is past; it has no life.
Forget about the past. We should choose to be forward focused, not past possessed and to
Invest in the future. Paul said, "forgetting those things which are behind in order to reach for the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus". Philippians 3:13-14. Bear in mind that the past does not equal the
future. Where there is a will, there is always a way.
The past makes us who we are; don't make it your burden. Free yourself and make light your burden.

INCOMPLETE

the grey sky looming above,
rain drops still dripping down
from the pregnant clouds above,
we set out on our journey once again;

around and around we go
in slow circles, moving
to the beat of the thunder
and rain that surrounds us;

as the droplets hit the ground,
shattered realizations lay scattered
reminding me nothing is same
as it seems to be;

as another memory turns to dust
i cut the lifeline that attaches me to the past
and i shove it back into the depths
where nothing will ever bring it back alive;

the rain does nothing to stop our journey,
never forgetting, who we are
we walk these streets of madness,
knowing that,without each-other…..
we are simply incomplete.

SORRY

Being sorry can be very hard when we're overwhelmed with pride,
But sometimes our pride must take a fall before we lose out,
And when we have to say sorry we should mean it from our soul,

A meaningless sorry is like a broken promise to the heart.

And it only hurts more in the end, bringing bitter resentment,
And leading to the loss of a love that should be eternal,
Bringing us back down to earth from the fairytale world of our mind,
With a pain that is maddening, physical and sometimes critical.

My heart is weeping tears of blood for the pain that I've caused you,
And it's crying out my apologies to your mind,
Pleading for your forgiveness for my unfortunate outbursts,
I never meant, in a million years, to be so unkind.

I have made mistakes in the past but never as serious as this,
And I know I will only have myself to blame if you leave,
And that scares me more than I've ever been scared in my life,
For you're my true motivation, the only real thing in which I believe.

Everything else is just a fantasy to my egotistical ideals,
It's always been me, me, me for far too long,
And lately I haven't given even a passing thought to your concerns,
I let them all fly past me, but now I know I was wrong.

You were reaching out to me in your time of uncertainty and sorrow,
While all I cared about was me and what was mine,
And as I watch you pack your bags with tears streaming down my cheeks,
Too late, I feel all your angst and pain.

And all that's left for me to do is say sorry in a sincere way,
With an apology that comes from deep inside my soul,
It's all I have left to offer for your love and your loyalty,
It's just a pity that my own loyalty, I couldn't hold.

Now all I have left of you are the memories of the goodness I have lost,
And that loss brings a sadness every time I think of your name,
And my heart yearns to be able to turn back the hands of time,
To correct the mistakes I've made and start again.

So please take time to think about what I've said, as it comes from the heart,
Take time and try to forgive me my failure to deliver,
And if you can't, then cast me out of your life never to return,
And i promise never to disturb you again.
Inside my heart, i keep a little box... it is a box of memories i created about you..
What we shared together will forever remain a scar in my memory...

IT'S OK TO CRY

When all that's around you
Seems awkward with trouble
When people surround you
And make your work double
When all you can think of
Is why do they pry
When words seem to fail you
It's ok to sigh

When all that surrounds you
Is hopeless and sad
When some people harm you
They treat you so bad
When they leave you so lonely
And tell you a lie
When no thought seems to comfort
It's ok to cry

When tears sting the lonely
And your empty heart aches
When your question you ask
Is why my heart breaks
When friends reach a hand to you
Once more you ask why
When you sit there and wonder
It's ok to cry

When you ask yourself why again
Your heart full of fear
When all around hurts so
Just too much to bear
When you need help understanding
You know you must try
When nothing else helps you
IT'S OK TO CRY

JOURNEY OF MY SOUL

It is very good to have a name
I know what you want is fame
Imagine suffering to attain your aim
Why don’t you kill yourself to end this pain

Rivers stretch, streams flow whiles the sea rolls
Buildings collapse, waters dry up whiles human die
Virginity is lost, honor goes whiles beauty fades
Talents determines, ability decides whiles assurance questions

When a song end, music still goes on
When a cloud gather, rain falls
When a night falls, a day rises.
When a covenant is broken, mistrust and hatred begins…

VALUES, MORALS AND ETHICS

Values

Values are the rules by which we make decisions about right and wrong, should and shouldn't, good and bad. They also tell us which are more or less important, which is useful when we have to trade off meeting one value over another.

Morals

Morals have a greater social element to values and tend to have a very broad acceptance. Morals are far more about good and bad than other values. We thus judge others more strongly on morals than values. A person can be described as immoral, yet there is no word for them not following values.

Ethics

You can have professional ethics, but you seldom hear about professional morals. Ethics tend to be codified into a formal system or set of rules which are explicitly adopted by a group of people. Thus you have medical ethics. Ethics are thus internally defined and adopted, whilst morals tend to be externally imposed on other people.

If you accuse someone of being unethical, it is equivalent of calling them unprofessional and may well be taken as a significant insult and perceived more personally than if you called them immoral (which of course they may also not like).

 In a nut shell,knowing between good and bad and being committed to do the right thing always...should be your number one priority.

In order to be sure whether you are doing the right thing, ask yourself: 'how will those around me react when they see or hear me doing this' ?;;

Based on the question, you then decide....

but remember, It is the choices you make today that enslaves your soul tomorrow...

One love...

Simple tips for a stress-free split

Have A Better Breakup

Breaking up is hard to do – there's no doubt about it. But there are ways to go about ending a relationship that are more graceful than others. The last thing you want to do when you're breaking up with someone is draw out the situation or make things harder than they have to be. To help you plan your impending split with as little anxiety as possible, we've put together some breakup tips aimed at helping you end things sans stress.

Be clear about how you feel

Even if you want to get the breakup over with as fast as possible (which we're sure you do), make sure to spell out exactly how you feel and why you want to end the relationship. No matter what you tell him, if he wasn't expecting the breakup, he'll be upset, so you might as well help him understand why you're leaving him. You don't have to read off a laundry list of things you don't like about him or that drove you nuts about being with him (see tip three), but if you have your own reasons for falling out of love, give him enough information so he isn't left hanging, but not so much information that he's overwhelmed.
Why it's important: The point is to avoid leaving him with a head full of unanswered questions – questions he might want you to answer next week or next month or the next time you run into him at the bar.

Avoid giving him hope

It can be difficult to be completely honest during a breakup, especially when the person you're breaking up with is staring at you with such misery. Looking into those puppy dog eyes can leave you feeling nostalgic or guilty about what you're in the midst of doing – breaking his heart. But resist the urge to give your soon-to-be ex false hope. He may take that false hope and run with it, assuming that somewhere in the near future you'll come to your senses and run back into his arms.
Why it's important: If you don't make a clean break the first time, you're just going to have to another equally painful and awkward talk with him going forward. If you're really over him, do yourself a favor and move on entirely.

Don't play the blame game

If you're breaking up with someone, chances are there where aspects of their personality you didn't like or that eventually rubbed you the wrong way. And if the relationship was less-than-ideal during the weeks and months leading up to your decision to finally cut ties, there is likely animosity between the two of you. Despite your residual anger at how he's been acting, try not to make the breakup about him. Giving him that laundry list of complaints we mentioned earlier isn't going to make him very receptive to what you're saying. He'll likely get mad – not the mood you want him in as you're telling him it's over.
Why it's important: A breakup is already tense enough; you don't want a full-blown fight on your hands the day you decide to finally do the deed.

Give each other space

Amicable splits happen – they're rare, but they do happen. If you're one of the lucky ones, you still want to be wary of trying to go immediately from being in a relationship to being friends. Staying friends always sounds like a good idea, and it is, within a reasonable amount of time.  Transitioning a relationship takes time, so before you book that post-breakup drinks date, give each other some space and time.
