Love Didn't Fail You

How often do we blame love when human beings fail us? 

Do you remember the thoughts and words that came out of you when your ex broke your heart? Do you remember that feeling you felt? Maybe you hated all men / women. Maybe you thought love failed you because you believed in it yet a relationship didn't last. You obviously felt rejected, and lost all hope of ever falling in love again. But wait, was it love that failed you? How many times before did you fall in love? How many times before did you fall in love and swore it won't happen again, but then it did? 

Listen, often times, we fail to recognize that we are our own enemies, we the human race. You played a part in the death of your relationship and so did your ex. You hoped he or she would change, you hoped you would live happily ever after. You envisioned a life more beautiful than a Disney movie. But alas! things didn't turn out the way you expected or hoped. But love never failed you. He / she failed you. If love failed you, then there would be no one else in this world that loves you. So why blame love when you have more people that love you, fight for you and wish you well, compared to that one person who broke your heart? 

Love never failed you. A human being did. Embrace love in whatever form it comes, accept the heartbreak and work on your healing. Love loves to love you.

Whose Job Is It Anyway

Repeat after me,

I am responsible for my own happiness 

I take full responsibility for my actions 

I am aware of my weaknesses and strengths 

I am not perfect therefore I do not expect others to be perfect 

Lack of perfection doesn't give me or others an excuse to be sloppy, mean, or do the bare minimum 

I receive what I put out

I am a product of what I allow into my body and mind

Sometimes, seeing things the way they really are, without assigning them an excuse, will help you live a better life. A meaningful life, where you take your actions seriously, you work on your boundaries, you say what you mean and mean what you say. Besides, it's your job to make your life work!
