Simple Advice |
Ladies, Ladies, Ladies..... Men want our trust and respect. It feeds their very soul and gives them the confidence to face anything in this life, including defending us. I know there are some men, some of you would say most men, who don't deserve to be trusted. It's amazing because what they need most is what we find hardest to give. Evaluating why we have such a hard time trusting our mate requires a look at our history. We as real women need to relinquish our baggage if we ever expect to be loved and cherished. Ask yourself some serious questions- who hurt me and do I make my current mate pay the price for some other Joes mistakes? This requires some deep soul searching. You can't expect someone to carry your baggage with you, they don't have the emotional angst that you do, they don't feel it like that. Women tend to surround themselves in a bubble of family and friends who they feel safe and comfortable being themselves with. A new person has the capability of hurting us. I would challenge you to not be so afraid of being hurt. When we are hurt, we will grow. Life is full of risks and challenges. You can't always calculate these risks and assume that every situation will be safe. Your heart is precious ground, true enough. I promise that your heart is more resilient than you even realize. Every person in your life is there for a reason. There are lessons to be learned in every situation, good or bad. This is called living. We are taught from a very young age that we should be put on a pedestal and be treated like a queen. What they didn't tell you is that the pedestal is pretty damn boring and waiting for your prince charming is ridiculous. Men feed from us emotionally, as much as they would like to deny it and be macho. If you never get off the pedestal, you never live. Be courageous, be the woman who you know you can be today. Waiting around for life to begin because your prince says so is ludacris. Men want a confidant woman who knows what she wants in life. They want someone they can depend on to be supportive at home, when life has thrown it's biggest punches. |
