Gossip


My name is Gossip.
I have no respect for justice.
I maim without killing.
I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
My victims are helpless.
The cannot protect themselves against me because I have not name and no face.
To track me down is impossible.
The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it's never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
Even my name hisses.
I am called Gossip.
I make headlines and headaches.
Before you repeat a story, ask yourself:
Is it true? Is it harmless?
Is it necessary?
If it isn't, don't repeat it.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF

There comes a time in our life when we want to be appreciated and love.

But how do you expect someone, anyone to fall in love with you when you are not in love with yourself? As a matter of fact, there is no crime in you loving yourself. Loving oneself is the greatest reward that anyone can give themselves and the world. By loving yourself, you will find it easier to love those around you and those afar. A text in one of the oldest book in the word stated that "one should love one's neighbour as you love yourself." In other words, you will never be able to love anyone around you, meaning your sibling, husband, boyfriend, children, friends, colleague etc, if you have not first love yourself. Loving yourself is not a van act nor is it egoistic, however, it is an act expected of you by the universe.
In our modern society, one of the common set back to loving ourselves is unforgiveness, others can be lack of trust, greed, incontentment and the list can go on and on. The question is, why hold on to something that does not produce additional effect to your living? Why hold on to an act of yester years when the world around you is rapidly changing for the better? Why give someone the best part of your golden years only to wake up one day to find out that they did you look after it in anyway? That's what happens when you hold on to unforgiveness - the person your are holding to, goes on living while you keep blaming them and when you finally wake up and approach them, their usually reply goes like this, " I didn't remember that I did this or that." Therefore, holding on to things or someone can only be detrimental to you and not the person. In the future, when someone does anything that displeases you, confront them immediately ( I don't mean rudely) but tell them how you feel or forgive them immediately and move on with your life.
You are the best thing that can happen to you. You are the love that your are searching for, you are the hand that needs to huge you and comfort you. Don't let anyone or anything rob you form that. You are your first love!
Today, after reading this blog, set time aside for yourself. Find out what is it that has stopped your from loving yourself. Find time to reflect, forgive everyone or anything that has hurt you in anyway. Forgive yourself for dwelling holding on to un-forgiveness all these days or years. Give thanks to the universe that at this point in time - You have been given the opportunity to let go of all the pain and sorrows that you've been holding on to. Give thanks that you have been given a second change to start a new page of falling in with you.
Be ready to receive the goodies that the universe is sending you. All your expectation will be rewarded to you. "For the expectation of the upright shall not be cut short." You will shine again, after all we are all children of the universe, I am only important because you are.. Love yourselves with all that you are and have, for it is your God given right.
Remember, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue." Whatever you are going through keep smiling and speak life in all things.

May your day be as bright as the sun and as happy as king.
