Life And Relationships

Life is a stage and to suceed in life we all need to have relationships. Which means that the kind of relationships we nurture and cultivate will go a long way in determining our success. Maintaining relationships of whatever kind should be done consciously. The kind of relationship you desire with a particular individual will determine how much work you put into making it work. We all have friendships that we cherish. What is it about them that we love and want to keep forever?

Friendships can be mutually satisfying or may only benefit one partner which is not right and I am not talking in terms of money. Most of us do not like the latter except if we are the self centered partner benefiting from the freindship.

Relationships that stress us should be done away with because they leave us drained of creative energy. Before we do this however, we need to evaluate the relationship to find out if we are contributing to the problem at hand of if there is an underlying misunderstanding that is responsible. Make a mental note of who your friends are and find out if you really do have friends. One good friend can make a world of difference to one's life.

I believe that all marital relationships founded on genuine love are worth fighting for. That is, fight for your own spouse not somebody's else's. On the other hand, I firmly believe that not all platonic relationships are worth the effort, especially the ones characterized by inces...

What To Do After You Have Failed Morally

Failing is not a nice feeling for anyone to experience, especially when u fail morally and when it is that you do sincerely love the Lord. You feel genuinely sad and disappointed in yourself. But what you do after that is really up to you. You can either choose to seek for forgiveness, forgive your own self and move on, depending on God to help you or you wallow in the pit of self pity and resign yourself to the fact that probably nothing good can come from you. The end result of the latter is that the problem takes hold of a person and leads one down a road of morale decadence. I strongly believe that we can go right back to the point of loving ourselves and God like that failure never even happened. God says that when he forgives our sins, he remembers it no more, and we should do same. We ought not to let the guilt remain with us, neither should we allow the taste of the pleasure of what we fell right back into remain with us. With God nothing is impossible and also nothing is imp...
