InLove

If you go to your bank to make a withdrawl, would you expect the teller to give you $100, if you only put in $50? That is how a lot of people are treating relationships these days. Many people come into a relationship bringing baggage and bad habits, but expect to get love, trust and respect. It just doesn’t add up.

If you are a woman and you strip for a living, meaning you sell your body, you can’t expect a man to love and cherish you. Reason being, you don’t love and cherish yourself. If you are a man and you sell drugs for a living, you can’t expect a woman with a bachelors degree and a real job to settle down with you and take you serious. Although some people make these mistakes, they soon find out that the two just don’t mix and it won’t last. Again, it’s like a mansion built on the sand.

So when going into a relationship, put in what you want to get out. Give what you want to get in return. Be realistic and really come to terms with your self-worth. If you can’t do that, then just ask someone who is completely honest and straight forward what they think of you. I know ppl say it doesn’t matter what others think, but in reality that is the furthest thing from the truth. We are nothing but what others think of us. We aren’t given the privilege in life to define ourselves, especially if our definition is a lie. If you think what you think is all that matters, let me ask you this: When is the last time you interviewed yourself for a job and had the opportunity to decide if you get it or not? When is the last time you graded your own work and that’s the grade that went in the books? When is the last time you were able to decide for yourself where you would fit inside of someone else’s business, or life? We are what others think of us, so make sure you are portraying what you want others to perceive. The trick is, we may never really know how people really see us. But one thing is for sure, we will get out what we put in. It’s the law of the land.

God Bless!
