Play Well!!

"Do what YOU can, with what YOU have, where YOU are" words which have taken me a long way! This has allowed me to be good at what and who I am, for I know that when one door closes another opens. Too often people tend to focus on that closed door and fail to see the new one which has opened. Remember that all the world's a stage, and we are marely players, so in your lifetime with your many parts PLAY WELL!!!!

365 DAYS!!!

And the journey of self enhancement soon begins! I'll try to accept and understand everyone and everything which pisses me off: people who ask dumb shit, people who think I owe them something, people who don’t do shit for me, people who expect me to give a dam! Oh My God!!! 365 days to tolerance! I may just have to take a puff and a few shots to make it through....... Changes for the new year...only want REAL people in my life!!!

Mind over Matter

Not everyone in this world is going to like me. Not everyone in this world will respect me. Not everyone in this world will honour me. But why should I care? Only those whose opinions matter will have the power to influence me! Life is not about how many friends I have, but the quality of my friends…who doesn’t like me doesn’t matter, and who likes me doesn’t mind….I AM WHAT I AM, THAT I AM.....

I never pretend to be someone I’m not because I’m good at being me. I don't regret things in my past cause I see them as experiences, lessons learned. I may not be the very best, but I'm great. I may not be the smartest, most beautiful woman, but I'm happy with who and what I am. At the end of it all, I’m proud of who I am today and as long as I can continue to be who and what I am…I will continue to be proud!!!

Many Shades of Grey

My life is many shades of grey... I'm half sunshine half cloud gloom, but you always notice when I enter a room. I'm half passive half protest. Half moving on half in regret. Half sinner half repenter. Half realist half dreamer. Half crazy half sane. Half flamboyant half plain. Half not enough half more than plenty... Half disciplined half defiant. Half dependent half self reliant. Half perfection half flawed. Half refined half raw. Half clumsy half grace. Half above water half sinkin...but always thinking.... Why does it seem like a necessity for people to try to define me? Half of what you all think of me deeply affects me...the other half..doesnt phase me, because I'm just AMAZING!

Happiness 2

Happiness is relative, don't look at another's life to judge yours. Know that each person sacrifices differently. What makes me happy, may not make you happy. My happiness is defined by my need to succeed, be independent and strong. Your happiness maybe defined by your need to live: enjoy partying, dating, drinking, smoking.....So don't wish to have another's life or happiness because it may not be worth the sacrifice...i'm just saying

P.S: Don't let anyone define you or set boundaries...be known for who you are and what you stand for....

Some people are not meant to last!!!

The reality of life is that some people are not meant to last, some are meant to leave impressions, teach us lessons, grow with us, hurt us and love us. Thus, it is our decision as to which category each person falls within, whether the categories are connected and when we should severe connections....do not be scared to let go of the things and people which are dragging and keeping you down...i'm just saying

My Standards are just too HIGH!!!

Jealousy and Envy are too emotions which I fail to understand... I'm happy that I am who I am, have what I have and live how I live... I'll never be envious of anyone else - no matter who she is or what she has.. I am a doer NEVER EVER a follower and I set my trends... I rather someone immitate me than I her - I WILL NOT live vicarously through any woman- my standards are just too high.. I’m just saying

GOD!!

Life is easy when you’re up on the mountain, and you’ll find peace of mind when life’s at its best. But when things change and you’re down in the valley, don’t loose faith when life is put to the test. For the God of the mountain is the God in the valley, when things go wrong he will make them right, and the God of your good times is the God in your bad times and the God of your day is still the God in the night........

:) Don't believe in luck :)

Only the strong and lucky move on..I do not believe in luck. I have always maintained that I make my own luck...my life has nothing to do with luck..it's about the hard work...determination, perseverance and strength. I am strong because I make great decisions..I am lucky because I am strong..so I move on always..I'm just saying

I don't have the "Midas" touch !!!

Everything i touch doesn't turn to gold. I don't have the midas touch. What i have is the will power, strength and courage to make what i want possible. I dream it, i achieve it and create it. I do not sit idly by and let society dictate what i should want, have and be. I am a DOER, an Achiever, a GO GETTER.

Grandma inspired me :)

My grandma has been my inspiration and motivation too succeed. Of all lessons, what stuck most is that I can be anything or anyone. All I have Experience - the reason why I can practice what I preach knowing that in the end..I may not be popular for my beliefs but I am proud that I practice them.....

My Cross

Me And Me Alone Carrying My Cross, Struggling So Hard Working Like A Horse. No 1 Can Tell Me Where To Lay Down My Cross, Cuz No 1 is Helping Me To Carry My Cross. When I get where I am going, remember -it was me and me alone who carried my cross. Life is a cross filled with burdens, some we can share, some we have to c...arry alone. don't be envious of any1 else's cross, cuz u do not know their burdens...I'm just saying

My Life Is Mine :)

‘If Opportunity Doesn’t Knock, Build a Door’. I have built many doors for myself. I don't depend on others to further my cause - I depend on me...life is not about what others can do for me, but what I can, should, and must do for myself... I've built doors, banged on them - did whatever it took to get them opened... Opportunity waits for no Woman - my life is mine - not your's, not society's, ...i'm just saying

TRUTH :)

To speak the truth is too have experienced it. To admit the truth is to acknowledge it. To live by the turth is to believe it. So then, can i speak, acknowledge, believe what i know as truth. My truths are mine - we may share, agree, disagree. They do not make me self-righteous..they make me a better person, because i have experience, acknowledge and I’m living right…I’m just saying have experienced, acknowledged and am living RIGHT...i'm just saying

StRuGgLeS

One isn't improved by being at the top of the mountain, one is improved by the climb! Appreciate yous struggles because getting to the top is worth it...I'm just saying

LiVe, LaUgH, lOve

Wow, it’s getting a bit chilly outside…Fall is here…another season has started… Winter is around the corner!!!

 

When the world is hard on you, be not weary or afraid... look for the answers the one place where you'll find rest.. remember that we are not for the world, but of the world and so, we are not here to live life for others, but to live with others and make as best an impression as we can...live, laugh, love...not too much so that you’ll loose youself, just enough to satisfy yourself… I try for positivity  so I can remind myself daily on the realities of life!!!! I’m just saying :)

I'm Feeling B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Today :)

I'm feeling B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L today... not my usual beautiful self... on a different scale.... and i love it.....i'm just an original classic, classic and original!!!!!!!!!! the life I live is the one which was meant for me and me only...I live the way God meant me too... Everyone can't be me....I am the original Elsie :)

Foolish People!!!

Foolish people are those who fail to know, those who are blinded by their egos, those who fail to see the colours which are not always black and white, those who insist on the wrongs when the rights are infront of them... but most of all - foolish people are those who give up and compromise themselves for the so called love of others...i'm just saying..

OBSTACLES!!!

Obstacles make life interesting for without them one would never know how far one can reach. They act as testers of perseverance, determination and strength-those who overcome, see them as lessons learned, stepping stones & must have gone throughs; those who see them otherwise are the ones who've failed and not realize that the reality of life is that we must go through them… It is only when they get the better of us, that they live up to their name - OBSTACLES.... I’m just saying

I AM WHAT I AM!!!

My life is a journey, not a vacation and so I live to the fullest. Laziness won't get me anywhere, nor do anything for me so I strive on, through the hard times, the joyful times, the good times, the bad times...but at the end of all those times, I will be satisfied, because I am making my journey ... so take life's journey as it come and trod on……….. I am what I am, that I am. I am not perfect! I do not aspire to be perfect! Perfection is a myth. I am perfect when at the end of my day, I have not turned into someone whom I do not know, like or respect. I am perfect when I realise that I am not hypocritical about my beliefs I am perfect when I know that I am happy being who I am. I am perfect with being not perfect. I am perfect with being me I’m just saying

Happiness As I See It!!!!

If your happiness depends on  others , then they defines you. YOUR hapiness is your responsibility and when you make your own happiness, you are then able to define your relationships. Happiness is relative and what makes you happy, may not make them happy. Do not expect anyone to make you happy, your ultimate joy in life is yours and yours only to create...

you do not need a crowd, you do not need a best friend, you do not need anyone to make you happy. Happiness is knowing that you are where you want to be, doing what you want,with whom you want, being who you want..it's about having the inner strength to be alone and accept that peace....It's not wrong to be alone..sometimes it’s better…I’m just saying

Be All That You Can BE!!!

Life is like the army - be all that you can be... If you stand for anything, stand for your family, your love ones and your CHARACTER... the small things matter just as much as the big things...in life everything has a purpose so enjoy the little things - all of them...

I live like there is a tomorrow - because if I didn't, I'd be living reckless with no care as to the future; there will always be a future whether I'm in it or not... so I live today for tomorrow Love like there is no tomorrow........... but do not be a fool for love or a fool in love!... I'm just saying

LiFe HuH!!!!!!

What can i say?....... hmmmm.......what's on my mind today?...let me think....LIFE!!! "SELF"

To acknowledge what is right and act on it is a sign of character... to choose what is wrong in order to portray an image is a sign of a lack of self respect, "self" knowledge and "self" understanding. To know oneself is to accept one's ideas and instead of changing to fit another world... you make the other world change, to fit your ideas or simply integrate both ideas…

Life is not about compromising one's principles. It is about having faith in your belief, accepting the differences of opinions while maintaining your individuality. It's about knowing that there will be erros and omissions....and we can't all be the same... I'm just saying :-)

Many rivers too cross...

Today i attempt to change my future - make it more promising and inspiring. Today i'll take a step towards becomming part of what i was meant to become. Today i'll put passion into it and all will be well. GOD is good all the time, all the time GOD is good .... ....don't wish me luck,PRAY for me - i'm about to make my own luck…

The decisions i make now will frame my future. Life is about taking chances, however, not all chances are meant to be taken. i will choose my opportunities wisely...know my strengths, know my weaknesses because they will guide me ...and remember sometimes i've got to go with the gut feelings, not the heart, not the brain, but the GUT…

Many rivers too cross... many decisions to make..... but i am not hesitant nor afraid... i jump in with my eyes wide open because i only have 1 life to live, and regrets nor whatifs are not what i live by... i live knowing that sometimes things won't work out - but at least, i live... i take chances and i'm willing to cross many, many rivers…I’m just saying

HOLD MY HANDS!!!

Yes, I’m trying to find my spiritual connection… There have to be a Heavenly Father somewhere out there… Please hear my cry…

My strength is surely fading; as trials come both left and right, and in the centre I’m now standing not a trace of hope in sight, and if tears were only rain drop the universe will be flooding now. So lord I call you today please don’t pass me by……..

A storm of fear now surrounds me; a failing heart is all I see, broken dreams with painful memories, the quest for help abides with me. Still I know you’re standing near me, I so need your hands in mine so Lord I ask you today please hear my cry………..

Hold my hands today, less I fall, guide my steps all the way please hear my call. For the cares of life is all I now see, please walk me through them, that’s all I ask of thee.

I'm Stronger Than Yesterday :-)

I try for positive vibes so I can remind myself daily on the realities of life I just say what i'm thinking can't do anything else - some are going to like it some are going to hate it ... either ways- i always do me!

I may not be perfect but i'd never choose to walk in the shoes of any woman i know. My beliefs are mine, my sayings are mine-they define me-they reshape me. I am no one's conscience but my own. I choose to live my life as a STRONG, INDEPENDENT, SELF MINDED individual-like me or hate me, at the end of the day- it wouldn't matter… I define myself………..I know i'm not beautiful.... I'M GORGEOUS.......but that alone can't get me anywhere ... so my banging body, great personality, sense of humor and kick ass attitude will take me the rest of the way... and to whomever gets offended...oh well.... you can't be like me...... hmmmm…......Education is the KEY to SUCCESS, unless you come from Old money, you’ve won the lottery, become famous, or have a big pair of tripple somethings. So if like me, you have none of the above, then study hard and this thing called EDUCATION will take you a long way with your pride and integrity in tact....i'm just saying

i'm just saying....1

I have a strong personality and opinion. At the end of my day, others opinions about me don't matter as long as i have not compromised myself. What matters - self respect. I say what i believe, I believe what i say. I respect only those who are not blinded by truth....

To thine own self be true because at the end of the day your morals, respect, dignity and self worth may be all that you have left. Never strive to be like anyone else nor conform to the opinions of others unless proven right, or it suits you. Your life should be about what defines you, not what defines the rest of the world be yourself, be yourself, be yourself... life isn't about how many, how many ppl u shame or perhaps how many likes, dislikes or comments the world has about you.... ...i'm just saying

Say No To Abusive Relationships...Run if You Have To.. Children Or No Children.. :(

This is a short blog inspired by my 25 year old friend …who don’t understand the concept of a relationship….. It is far better to be a single mom than to be stuck in an abusive relationship where you, the man, and the kids are miserable. Men are not the be all, end all. Do not try to keep a man with a child, do not stay just because of the kids. Too many times we get caught up in a man who is not right for us. Sometimes there is less shame in being a single mom than a single mom “clingon”... many people may disagagree…but it’s my opinion …I’m just saying…

This one is for the ladies ... Not the men. Tired of women blaming men. We have brains and should use our upstairs as much if not better than downstairs. There are great men out there... Then again, it's up to the woman to recognise a great man...

I'll be the first to say THERE ARE GREAT MEN... We just need to appreciate them when we find them…..trust me, i try to keep it real. It's just that some women hate reality. Reality bites... not everyone is lucky in love and life, but i say make your own luck. Many women have done amazing things as single moms. We need to realise, that yes it is tough, but no mom has ever died from being a single mom.... I have cousins and friends who is the product of a single mom and i say - what doesn't KILL YOU, WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER!!!!!!!!

            Many of these young girls rush into meaningless relationships thinkin life is a disney movie and good sex can solve all their problems.....

True... many of them only think about the sex! I'm all for good sex... but with good sex should come GREAT brain cells. Do not wait for a man to protect you, protect yourself. If you don’t want kids... put the womb on lock down. If you get on...i hate seeing people just making children just because they think its the answer to a good relationship……my messages are based on thoughts which i am having ... not meant for any woman who thinks that i am trying to put her down.. i speak MY TRUTH as i see it...

But it's really nice to be able to tell the WOMEN from the Girls..... Reality bites and women acknowledge the reality and do not live with tinted windows... i would for sure rather be a single mom than kill my kids, stress myself.. or stay with a man who abuse me daily and who doesn't want me, or treats me like garbage. I'M BLESSED to have a good man - sorry, it's not luck - because i made my own LIFE. Could have choosen to be a fool in love rather than a woman who's loved... he loves me, i love him... You know who you are!!!!

positivity :)

life is not about compromising one's principles. It is about having faith in your belief, accepting the differences of opinions while maintaining your individuality. It's about knowing that there will be erros and omissions....and we can't all be the same

LADIES: Life is about choices... you make good ones and bad, but at the end of the day, your choices are yours. If you choose to live your life your way, then be happy in it and with it. At the end of the day, you are only accountable to and for yourself... I am my own conscience; i can't be anyone else's...ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE YOU...i'm just saying….. my post are all about uplifting women..it's not about me trying to make people feel like i am better- it's about pushing women - especially to be better in their relationships since i know that better does exist, and make right choices. But such is life...... people choose to be blinded

Choices

'We make our future by the best use of the present'

Life is about never ending choices.... what you do with those choices determines where you'll end up....Be YOU, Do YOU, and make the best choices for YOU. YOU are not YOUR friend, and YOUR friend cannot be YOU. Remember, a replica can never be an Original... so always do you and do you to the best of your abilities... and be an ORIGINAL not a carbon copy...i'm just saying

Elsie

I live for me and mine, I do not worry much about other's impression of me.. I figure if I live right, the overall impression will be a great one... and so I say... be yourself, be yourself, be yourself........Im just saying...
