Cute
0
So I have to raise this question with you all. What is Cute? I mean, what does it really mean when someone says to you that you are Cute? Or when they say what you are wearing is Cute? Cute to me is like for babies. When I think of the word Cute, it's almost like you aren't pretty enough/handsome enough to be fine, but you are just further enough from ugly. Thus you find yourself---Cute.
I am always troubled when people call me Cute. I know you may be thinking, "that's not such a bad problem to have." But, it does bother me a little. Not that I care what people think about how I look, but who wants to be Cute, or average for lack of better words? I think I know the answer to that---Ugly people. Nah, for real though, I don't think anyone is Ugly or Cute for that matter. I think behaviors, pets, and/or objects may be Cute, but not people.
The next time you think someone or something is Cute, ask yourself, "is it really?" "Am I just saying s/he or it is Cute just to be nice?" If you have to think about it in depth, nine times out of ten, Cute is not the word you meant. Baby bottoms are Cute for goodness sakes. Who wants their looks to be compared to an undeveloped A$$?!!!

Back At One
0
I was running through my I-Tunes library the other day, and I came across an old Brian McKnight album. One of the realest songs he ever made was a song called "Back At One". I don't know if you all have heard it, but basically the song expresses how as we go through things, relationships and life, just when we think things are getting better, we find ourselves starting all over again or Back At One.
Let me be clear: "There is nothing wrong with starting over." However, we all must decide at some point that we are through being Back At One. We have to really make a decision that this time or that is going to be our last try/attempt. I have recently learned that if you did everything you could and put in everything you had, then you can never be a failure. Thus, if you have given s/he, it, that, them, etc. the best of you and still you find yourself, Back At One, then perhaps it is time to move on. I am not naive, and I do understand that this is easier said than done. But if you spend your entire life Back At One, then you will never progress and who knows what you may be missing.
One shouldn't fear starting over. I mean at some point we all have to make that journey Back To One. But, it is up to us to decide how many times we want to be Back At One. For me, one is okay, but the 2nd times the charm. If I go a third round, then it must be something of uber importance. Know this, the more time you spend Back At One, the less time you spend pursuing that which is Destined for you in this life. So break that cycle today! Make a decision not to be comfortable Back At One. Heck Two, Three, even Four, might be exactly what you been missing all along!

Plan B
0
The old adage says, "Those who fail to Plan, Plan to fail." Through my little over three decades on this earth, I have seen that to be true, time and time again. However, I have to add on caveat to that. "Those who fail to have a Plan A & B, Plan to fail in the first place."
In all you do, it is very important to have a Plan. But, not only should you have a Plan, you should have a Backup Plan too, commonly referred to as Plan B. Thus, when things seem to be falling through the cracks during the execution of Plan A, you can quickly began to put things together again, by activating Plan B. Backup Planning helps you anticipate things that may or may not happen. Plan B only has to go in effect if the negative things you expected to happen while in the Plan A phase, happen. Through trials, oftentimes, one may realize, that Plan B, should've been Plan A after all. But that's exactly why it was Plan B in the first place. Without a Plan B you can't really evaluate Plan A. With no Plan B, no matter what happens, you will be forced to stick with Plan A, until the wheels fall off.
Listen up. Don't ever find yourself needing a Plan B and not having one. It's like entering into a room that only has one way in and one way out. If something happens to the entry/exit, you are "up a creek, without a paddle." As it goes, "It is better to have and not need, then to need and not have. If you are a Planner and you already have your hours, days, weeks, months and years mapped out. Go back and give it one quick review. Anticipate any issues you may have or changes that need to be made. Use that to develop your Backup, or what I call, Plan B. To the rest of use, just remember one, no matter where you are, is always greater than two. Thus, Plan A must be accompanied by Plan B too.

What Are You Waiting For?
0
What Are You Waiting For? Don't look around. I am talking to you. Yes, you; the one who is reading this at this very moment. What Are You Waiting For? While you are sitting/standing around Waiting, things are going on outside and you're getting left out/behind. I know you are unsure of what to do next, but for goodness sakes, "Do Something!" What Are You Waiting For?
~S/he can't help who they are. They are always going to be exactly what you see. What Are You Waiting For? No matter what you do, or how hard you try, you can't change them. Only time and a decision on their behalf will influence them to change.
~You have been working there for awhile now. You still can't stand your co-workers and boss; they probably don't like you very much either. What Are You Waiting For? Either you make a move to find a career, and not a job, or termination will find you in the near, not so distant future.
~Aren't you tired of crying yourself to sleep at night? I mean, s/he did you wrong. Life hasn't been fair to you. Yes, you are a good person and you deserve way better then the cards you have been dealt. But, What Are You Waiting For? Everything you go through in this life happens for a reason. While you may not be able to do a thing about your past, presently, you can change your future. Wipe your eyes, pick up your head and don't let tomorrow pass you by.
There is absolutely no reason any of you should waist another second of your life Waiting. You have way too much to do before your time is up on this Earth. What Are You Waiting For? This is your life, not the life of your spouse, friends, family or your haters. So why do you care so much about what they have to say? What Are You Waiting For? No matter what you do, you will never please everyone. So make today, "YOUR DAY," and learn how to please yourself. I don't know What You Are Waiting For. No one else will ever give you what you deserve, if you can't give it to yourself. What You Are Waiting For is already in your possession. Use it or Lose It.
