Never Settle . . .

Hey Hey, I hope everyone is enjoying the summer as much as I am.

Today's topic is about settling, in general just settling for anything. We all know people who settle for anything just because they no longer want to put any effort into things or they feel this is the best thing they can get. Sometimes we have to remind people to value themselves better and to know they are worth so much more then what they settle for. Knowing your worth will make it easier for you to never settle for the wrong things.

When it comes to relationships people tend to just accept whatever is presented to them without really thinking "hey maybe I shouldn't just settle." I have a couple friends who just settle or just stay around just because they feel they can't get anything better then what they have now. If you keep that mentality then of course you get anything better. Just because bad things happen to you doesn't mean settling is your only option. This generation fails to attack challenges head on, we prefer things handed to us on a silver platter. We always try to find an easy way out and settling without attacking the challenge is never a good thing.

Think about this, you determine your worth by what you "just settle" for. They say,"sometimes you have to forget what you want and remember what you deserve." Never under value yourself and never settle, just because.

Friends With No Filters

Hey, this topic has been in the works for awhile. I apologize for the delay.

Friends with no filters? Friends with no filters are those people in your life that keep it 100% with you no matter what. Instead of being nice, they tell you exactly what the deal. I feel that we all need these type of people in our lives.

Have you ever been out, see a group of people and that one person in the group who looks totally jacked up? You sit and think to yourself "so you have all those people around you, your so called "friends", and no one has the strength to tell you to get your ass back in the house and change?" The world is twisted like that. That is why we rely on that one friend with no filter to check us sometimes. Sometimes we have the thought in the back of our minds that we don't want to hurt someones feelings, but its better to hear it from your friend then a complete stranger. It hurts more if you hear it from a stranger, then you look at your friends and say "why didn't one of you tell me?"

Everyone needs a friend with with no filter, and I bet half of you can already identify a couple of your friends who verbalize everything. Its better to have those people close to you to give you constructive criticism about everything not just what you wear. Trust me, its better to hear criticism from your close friends then a random stranger.
