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"

I just can't trust you anymore
33 minutes. That’s how long I waited for my bus in the cold and listened to a young lady talking to who seemed to be her ex. Okay…so I was eavesdropping. I’m sorry. It was so bad that I pushed my way to the back of the bus where she was sitting so I could sit next to her! Lmbo! I couldn’t help it; it was like a soap opera. She kept reiterating how she was so much more at ease now that he wasn’t in her life. How although she wasn’t happy/ecstatic all the time, at least, she was not worried about who he was looking at, who he was flirting with, who he was potentially cheating on her with, etc. It seemed like he was trying to convince her that he was faithful and that they should still be together. She was stern while stating that it was over and that she was better off without him. She started off by telling him how he changed over the course of their relationship and how he would have broken up with her had he found “those messages” on her phone from another man. She mentioned how in love with him she was and how he ruined it because she did not trust him at all anymore. I wanted to snatch the phone from her and give him a piece of my mind but that, of course, would probably have been a little rude and uncalled for. I swear, I almost missed my stop because of how engrossed I was in this one sided conversation. I was almost going to follow her home, but that too would have probably been weird, so I jumped off the bus before the bus driver drove off. The funny part was when I got off the bus. I started downloading an update for Pandora on my phone…random…and the FIRST song that played…I mean the very first song that played when the update was downloaded was “Es Mentiroso” by Olga Tañon. OMG! If you don’t know Spanish I could encourage you to learn it…right now…so you can understand the lyrics to this song. I WISH I could have played this song on the bus…to her…or when I, in my imagination snatched the phone from her…I would have played it to him. HA!
It’s interesting how similar so many relationships I hear about now a days are. Actually…it’s quite sad. Good girl meets dude that thinks he is the ish, she falls in love and he ends up breaking her heart (by straying) because he is not ready to settle down. Trust is so important in relationships and once that bond is broken it is sometimes impossible to mend. Who knows, maybe he was always faithful to her, but she doesn’t trust him anymore and it will be very difficult to gain that trust. He will have to work double time to bring her mind to a happy place where she doesn’t have to worry about who that random call was from at 11:42pm, or why he got home an hour later than when he said he would or why this or why not that.
I have realized that when you don’t trust the person you are with, the pain and anguish in your heart and constant roller coaster of tricks your mind plays on you is not healthy. It is much easier to either (a) be alone and stress free or (b) be with someone that brings worry-free / drama-free / happiness into your life. Good luck young lady! Like Hov said…traded in a gold (or in this case rusty imitation) for a Platinum Rolex…and it’s on to the next one. ;)
