Appreciated

Morning Word
If you know deep down inside that your love is special and that it is one of a kind, why are you still giving it away to someone who doesn’t appreciate it? Never settle for someone who doesn’t appreciate you and appreciate your efforts when it comes to love. When someone appreciates you, it makes you feel good on the inside. When you are appreciated, you feel special because your presence in someone’s life is not taken for granted. So many people today are stuck in dead end relationships with people who make them feel insignificant. So many people today would find so much joy in their life if they just parted ways with the person who doesn’t cherish them. If they aren’t happy to have you, you won’t feel happy being there.

What You Deserve

Morning Word
Sometimes you have to forget what you feel and remember what you deserve. As you grow wiser you will start to realize that how you feel about someone has nothing to do with how they decide to treat you. Sometimes you have to teach people how to treat you when you are not getting treated properly. Stop letting people dictate to you what they feel like you deserve. Stop being so passive with people who are still openly disrespecting you like you aren’t even around. If your happiness mattered, they would have handled the relationship a lot differently. Stop accepting any kind of treatment from people just because you have feelings for them. It’s time to get things in your life back in perspective again.

Gamble

Morning Word
They say selfishness can be the demise of love. Two people can’t give more to each other if they are holding back from each other. We all try to play it safe now. We don’t want to take chances on showing what we are capable of giving until the other person has shown us what we are capable of receiving first. Really what we are saying is, “Give me your heart first, and let me think about giving you mines later.” No matter how you slice it, love is a gamble. The only thing holding back will do is, hold you back from happiness completely. And if you are not going to be in it all the way, regroup and take some time to yourself until you can actually make that kind of commitment to someone else. There is still a heart out there waiting to love you the same way that you can love them. Heal “You” so you can be the real you when the real thing comes along.

Being Single

Morning Word
The reason why most people are single today is, they understand that they just can’t invite anyone to be a part of their life. Most single people understand the importance of protecting their good energy. Most single people understand the last thing that they need, is someone coming into their life and being a distraction instead of being a blessing. Most single people don’t fear being in a relationship, they just fear being with someone who doesn’t value a relationship like they do. Life is hard. And the last thing a person with a good heart needs, is for someone else to come into their life and make it even more harder.

Take Your Time

Morning Word
At the end of the day, love isn’t going anywhere. There is no need to rush something that you really aren’t prepared to have. Take your time enjoying another person’s soul. Take your time laying a solid foundation. Take your time sowing a good seed. Often times we don’t have the hindsight to see how much the work that we do in the beginning will benefit each other in the long run. When you build a house, you don’t rush laying down the foundation, you take your time. Wash each other off with encouraging words as much as you can. Listen to understand instead of listening to reply. Be patient with someone as you learn more about their perspectives and how they view the world. If you take your time understanding each other and going through the process, that process will take its time making sure that the both of you do not fail. Everything you do at the beginning of a relationship, will help you mold and keep your relationship. So take your time with love, it isn’t going anywhere.

Be Comfortable Alone First

Morning Word
You have to be comfortable with being by yourself first before you can feel comfortable with being with someone else. Allow yourself time to grow before your next relationship. Allow yourself time to work out personal issues that you know you struggle with when you are with someone else. Just because you are a good person, it doesn’t mean that it is a good time to put yourself back out there yet. Learn to exercise more patience with yourself and more patience with your love. Remember that you want to give yourself the best possible chance at succeeding in your next relationship. All you can do is work on you and pray that whoever you end up with has invested the same time into themselves as well.

Someone Being There

Morning Word
It’s not about someone just being around you when everything is going well, it’s about someone being there for you when you feel like life is giving you hell. It’s about someone bringing you soup when you’re sick. It’s about someone tucking you back in and cleaning up your throw up in the bathroom. It’s about someone remembering how picky you are with food, and cooking it the way you like when you’re too sick. It’s about someone being there with you in the doctor’s office, and praying that God’s favor and strength will overpower any diagnosis. It’s about someone going to drop off and pick up your prescription so you can wake up with everything you need right beside you. It’s about someone holding you down and never leaving when you can barely even hold yourself up. That’s love. That’s someone being there for you through thick and thin. Find someone who can brighten your day like the sun, and still be loyal enough to walk with you through the rain.

Someone Out There

Morning Word
I just want you to see the beauty in your love again. I don’t want you letting the negative experiences of your past, controlling how you give and receive love for the rest of your life. Sometimes you have to move on and believe that there is better for you out there even when you can’t really see it. We have to learn how to take our pain and turn it into purpose. We have to learn how to grow through what we go through, so that we can be better individuals in life. Stop giving so much power to your heartbreaks. Never give anyone so much power over you that, they start making you think about yourself in negative ways. Whether you are in a relationship or not, you have to have a mindset that your presence alone will lift the spirits of any room that you walk into. Someone out there is waiting to appreciate your love. Someone out there is waiting to meet a person like you, so that they can show you what it’s really like to be treated the right way. Someone out there is waiting to build a life with you and give you everything you need when it comes to love. IG@woodtheinspiration

Tell Yourself

Morning Word
Tell Yourself, “From this day forward, I am getting rid of all toxic relationships. I can no longer entertain people or situations that do not push me towards being a better person. I have some memories to make. I have some dreams to fulfill. I have a like minded love that I am seeking to find. The rest of my life, will now be the best of my life. And for the first time in a long time, I am going to stop putting everybody else’s feelings and priorities ahead of my own. I am determined to wake up with peace in my spirit, and love and happiness in my heart. I now know that everyone can’t go with me on this journey. I now understand why my life has felt so incomplete. But at least I recognized it. At least I have started my transformation process. And I am not in a hurry to figure out who I need or what I need because I am now living and figuring things out at my own pace.”

One Day

Morning Word
And then one day you finally meet them out the blue. Their presence just feels right in your life. They begin to leave good impressions on your heart with little effort. They start changing how you look at the world and how you look at love. They don’t make things unnecessarily hard for no reason at all. You both start off on the same page, and end up enjoying each chapter that you both begin with each other. And for the first time in your life, you realize that your heart has never felt this safe and secure around anyone at all. That feeling helps drive you further into their arms, falling in love with not knowing where this new love is taking you. They start to flood your thoughts throughout the day now. You haven’t day dreamed this much about someone since, you were younger and had a crush on the most popular person in school. But these dreams are entirely different. These dreams take you to another level of happiness the clouds aren’t given access to. You spent so much time shooting for the stars, but to have one within arms reach leaves you feeling like you don’t need anything else in the world. As long as you can have their love day in and day out, you are blessed.
