I Have Come to Realize

Zenovia B.
1. I have come to realize a man does not validate me. I do not need to be in a relationship with a man to be happy, a man may add to my happiness but he will not be the reason for my happiness.

2. I have come to realize that some people come into our lives for a moment and some people come into my life just for a lifetime.

3. I have come to realize a true friend will stick by you no matter what. They respect you as a person, and just because your opinion does not always coincide with theirs they still value your opinion.

4. I have come to realize that before being a "we" in a relationship with a man, I have to be a "me" in a relationship with myself.

5. I have come to realize that if I didn't feed my spiritual hunger, then everything else in my life will starve as well.

6. I have come to realize that looking back in my past and constantly berating myself for past mistakes, keeps me from enjoying my present and looking forward to the future.

7. I have come to realize that using my body in a casual manner when it comes to sex is a defilement against my body.

8. I have come to realize to set standards for myself, live my life in a positive way, then positive people and things will come into my life.

9. I have come to realize regardless of what age I am, living with my mom will always make me feel like a child.

10. I have come to realize the older I get the more I am morphing into my mother.

11. I have come to realize things do not make me happy, people do.

12. I have come to realize to "seek first the Kingdom and all other things will be added to you."

13. I have come to realize that you can't be everything to everyone, nor can you please everyone and sometimes you just have to say "no."

14. I have come to realize that you can't never grow and mature as a person, if you blame others people for your mistakes.

15. I have come to realize there is a True God and he does have a name. (Psalm 83:18).

16. I have come to realize that I am okay.

17. I have come to realize that as a parent, I did make mistakes, but I gave the best I could to my kids with what I had.

18. I have come to realize that I am a "Drama Queen," but I don't like so much the drama anymore.

19. I have come to realize never go to bed angry, and always let people know you love them. You never know where death is lurking.

20. I have come to realize that this life is not all there is and suffering was not part of the original plan.
