"It is absolutely vital to not get yourself into a dependent situation in any relationship. If we do become overly dependent, we lose who we are and we are more focused on keeping the other person happy, when we really should focus more on our own happiness and the balance of the two. If we are extremely satisfied with whom we are, then it will only allow us to grow further and share that great feeling with others that won't take advantage of it."

"People often wonder what lies in their future without ever noticing what is in front of them. The future relies on speculation, while the present gives you the facts. No matter how harsh or sweet the present is, accept it and grow with it. Start to be happy now rather than in what the future may hold."

"Avoidance is what we normally do instead of facing our issues. Disorders, maladjustments, anxiety and other serious problems, when avoided, can blow things out of proportion and lead to hurt feelings and/or a broken spirit/soul. Often times we resort to giving money, gifts, and other blinding stuff we think will cover the issue itself, in the hopes that it will never resurface. Face your issues and use communication as a tool to bring the issues into the open."

Instead of dealing with the problems at hand, we tend to do something else - avoid them - thinking that it's the best remedy. Personal, family and social issues/problems are commonly clouded by cover up. Unknowingly, instead of solving the problem, we end up hurting the ones we love and ourselves. Communication is a tremendous tool for solving problems. Remember, people can't read minds. When a problem is brought out into the open and discussed, then we find solutions.

"When you feel like you're all alone, just look around you. Talk to someone; you never know when this someone could be the 'one'. When you think of the 'one' it seems that the pressure is on to find this person. But don't worry if you're young, old, fat, tall whatever - there is always someone out there who will see who you truly are. So sit back and relax, someone is there for you. Just never think you're alone and take chances on talking - talking never killed anyone."

Please just read this. I wrote another piece before when I was down and out. I didn't think that anything would make me feel any better. Then I realized how silly I was being and started looking at life with a new hope and joy; people are ready to meet you. I realized that it was my fault I shut them out of my lives. The people around me who want to know can now see that I am open to everything and everyone. You can start with a new slate and just be happy with yourself and the people around. Only then, you will forget all about the problems you have had in the past with ... What's his name again?

"It's not the number of awards you win; it's the number of hearts you capture."
Copyright © 2006 Lana Martin
My son is an all around athlete. He was very disappointed after the last football game of his senior year because they didn't win many games. He had many people following his H.S. Football career and many never saw him play, only heard about his ability. He received recognition from strangers, letters in the mail, figurines that fans had painted to look like him, newspaper clippings left on his windshield from some known and some unknown people, and phone calls, but didn't receive any awards at his last football banquet. He was hurt and I had these words for him.
