Never lose yourself, YOU all you have...

Its very easy to blend in, and let things slide, but in that process we tend to lose ourselves, our personal goals in life, and our personality. We become like "the rest." Do things because that is what considered "okay." Be consumed in the trend...

Friendship (Philos Love)

Latest trend is people saying "I keep my circle small." That's one thing, it can be a good thing if you have selected the right circle, and not accepted the few that you have not been able to get rid off. We all need that one person you trust, and you know will support you with your personal journey and vice versa. Be careful of mimicking someone else's goals as your own. Be a good friend by allowing yourself to be you and the other to be them...

Family

This has to be the hardest relationship to manage and still be able to remain sane. The expectations of us may hinder us from achieving the goals you have set for yourselves. They can be financially, emotionally, and somewhat spiritually draining. They are not going anywhere, we love to hate them. This is that time you learn to say NO! Family can be the most manipulative human beings EVER!

Romantic (Eros Love)

Love neh... Greatest mind F*ck of all time!! expectation in this department is intense!! We are mostly advised that compromise is the only way to make this work. Trick is to differentiate compromise and sacrifice... The amount of compromise between partners should be balanced, because if not, it ends up being sacrifice on one end. Ensure your partner puts in the same amount of compromise as you do. If you are always getting your way, you must know that at some point your partner will give in, and it will be it! Its over! Its all about managing our expectations.

Spiritual (Agape Love)

We all want to believe in something! Its almost a need! But do not be swallowed in it. Let it guide you... Let it heal your heart and soul, but remember, its an evil world we leave in... We have different beliefs, and that is okay... learn to deal with people, and learn to stay focused to what YOU want... LET YOUR SPIRTUALITY SUPPORT YOU not burden you, not push you back and definitely NOT define you (this is debatable)!

Be kind to one another...
