Marianne Williamson - Our Deepest Fear is that We Are Powerful Beyond Measure

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

READ WHAT OPRAH WINFREY HAD TO SAY ABOUT MEN

*found this in friendster*

If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.

Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to
be.
Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what
makes you truly happy.

If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you
deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends".
A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle.

If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't
stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are better.

The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?

Always have your own set of friends separate from his. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats
you. If something bothers you, speak up.

Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later.

You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within.

Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...

even if he has more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.

Never let a man define who you are.

Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.

A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.

All men are NOT dogs.

You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street.

You need time to heal between relationships... there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship

You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... a relationship consists of two WHOLE
individuals...look for someone complimentary... not supplementary.

Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.

Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him -he takes it for granted.

Never move into his mother's house.

Never co-sign for a man.

Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.* Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Share this with other women and men (just so they know)... You'll make someone smile, another rethink her choices, and another woman prepare.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.


Advice from Angel,

Scared of being alone is what makes a lot of women stay in relationships that are abusive or hurtful: Dr Phil

You should know that you're the best thing that could ever happen to anyone and if a man mistreats you, he'll miss out on a good thing. If he was attracted to you in the 1st place,
just know that he's not the only one. They're all watching you, so you have a lot of choices. Make the right one.

Ladies take care of your own hearts...

my old film camera... and one picture that made me wish for a digital. The hassle of trying to compose shots without powerlines in them. ^_^ I reasoned that with digital... it could be edited out without cropping the picture. On the other hand.... felt safer walking around alone with my film camera... with it's solid weight... it would surely hurt if I hit you with it. hahahaha

Woke up smiling today... I don't know why... but I can't stop smiling and it's already mid day. ^_^

I used to smile and laugh a lot but when I started working... I conciously made an effort to stop so that I would be taken seriously.

As years passed... I became accustomed to stopping myself from smiling... especially my goofy smiles + blank stare + "huh?" (hehehe my friends usually see this) hahaha I usually have this on my face when I'm having fun with my imagination.

I also noticed that for some people, smiling while facing your computer equates to not working. hahaha Well sometimes that is so true... but can't a person smile while coding super boring stuff? hehehe sira ulo.

The guy in front of me is frowning... I don't know why.... but I find his expression funny and I can't hold back my grin much longer. ^_^

hmmmm I ate lanzones before going to bed last night and woke up smiling... hmmmm would somebody please try that too... then let me know if you woke up smiling too. ^_^

Everyone have a great day!
