You break up with someone, start a new relationship, think you have really moved on, but after a while, you realize that this new person (as Chris Brown would say) "doesn't compare"? This person could be incredibly good for you and could treat you exactly how you think you should be treated, but there is simply something off. Something that just doesn't allow you to open up to them. What would you do if you were faced with this situation? Do you let go of your current partner and try to rekindle that old flame? What if you do and you realize that the old flame is now a pile of ashes? What if they have moved on or do not feel the same about you anymore? Do you continue in this new relationship while constantly thinking about the past? Would that be fair to your partner? Would you want that done to you? Why did the old relationship end? Were they legitimate reasons or just excuses for "I'm scared." Is it something you really want to go back to? Has so much time passed that you may realize you have grown apart and are both very different or something you may not really want anymore? Is it better to just do your best to let go of the past and try to move on? Or is it impossible to really move on until you know that it truly could not work with that first person?
What do you do when your every effort to move on is just resulting in dead ends that lead you back to that emotional crossroad?
btw...I couldn't help think this is directed towards Rhianna. Her song below...may have in fact been directed toward Chris....What do you think?

You're not easy to love
Sometimes relationships can be really complicated. Matters of the heart, emotions, love...can all be very complex. Why certain people fall in love with one another? Why after being hurt by someone over and over again, the heart hurts, but still loves? Why you can let go of someone physically, but mentally and emotionally your attachment doesn't fade? Why true love doesn't see faults, gives excuses for certain behaviors and "sticks around just a little while longer, just to make sure"? Why?

Who do you associate with?
Did you know that who you associate with will inevitably affect who you are and how your life plays out in the long run? If you associate with people that are:
*goal oriented
*have positive/healthy relationships with their spouses/children/family members
*are on the right track mentally/at work/at home/at school
*have their finances on order and
*for the most part are moving in the a positive direction, etc.
...you will inevitably and undoubtedly be elevated to a higher level in all aspects of your life. If, however, you notice that the people you are generally surrounded by (whether its on a daily basis or every now and then):
*don't have jobs
*they are stuck in a life of debt
*seem unhappy
*don't have positive, fulfilling relationships with their 'significant' others and/or family members
*are generally taking versus giving, etc.
their ways of being may slowly affect you in a negative way....maybe even without you realizing the effect they are having on your life.
It important to evaluate who you associate with on a daily basis. Listen closely to the conversations you have and see who is providing you with meaningful, thought-provoking, positive energy versus who is always negative and plays the role of a victim in life with no where to turn. The latter person generally sucks the life out of those around them and do not progress/move forward or let others excel. The first group does not.

Daily Word April 18, 2011
Happy Monday my Warriors of Light! Hope you all had a great weekend and are now ready to take over the world!! Today's Daily Word is dedicated to your surroundings and environment. We know that you are what you think about most but who you surround yourself with speaks a great deal to who you are and who you will become as well! If you are spending your days with people or environments that are not conducive to progress and growth then you are setting yourself back! Life is about progression! At every stage you should be learning something new and developing new skills and habits that will bring you closer to greatness! Life isn't charity! I know we all have those people in our lives that we've known forever and feel obligated to, but really think about what those relationships are doing to your success. ONLY A KNIFE CAN SHARPEN A KNIFE!! Your only obligation in life is to be the best that you can be!! As Zig Ziglar once said "Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince a person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise. Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people."
-Ash'Cash
"Surround yourself with people who are great and you will become greater yourself."
-Michael B. Kitson
"Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back?"
-W. Clement Stone
"Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great."
-Mark Twain
"Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character"
-Bible
"Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them."
-W. Clement Stone
"Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher."
-Oprah Winfrey
"If you're the smartest person in your group, then you need a new group."
-Les Brown
"Surrounding yourself with dwarfs does not make you a giant"
-Yiddish Proverb
