James W. Inspirational Thoughts

If someone is going through something, you should never measure yourself up against them based on (there) breaking point. Why? Because we all have our own breaking points, so you should never attempt to give someone sound advice based on (your) breaking point, that's terrible advice. God created us all differently, not evenly, with our own individual uniqueness. Therefore you should never ever compare your uniqueness against someone else's, that's not a fair assessment on life. You can help them by comforting them, never by comparisons.

Do you have what it takes as a parent to nurture your child/children into adulthood? Most parents probably would say yes, but if your infrastructure is questionable, the foundation for that child may not be as solid as you think. Balance is always key in establishing a sound infrastructure, giving that child an honest and clear foundation entering adulthood. Without it, more times than not, children aren't prepared or willing to leave the nest and live a quality life.

Have you ever met a person you had very little chemistry with, but found them to be a truly wonderful person? It's like trying to find the right outfit that better fits your personality. Sometimes in life we come across people we don't necessarily gel with, but it doesn't take anything away from the greatness that resides within them. This is why it's always important not to judge people, but rather accept them for who they are and keep pushing forward.

Why is it so hard to accept a person for who they are without judging them? The easy thing to do would be to simply walk away, avoiding any affiliations with that person. OR, you could accept them for who they are, and try to learn something from them. Yes we can pick and choose whom we affiliate ourselves with, but you can't pick and choose knowledge, it's the pipeline to longevity in life.

It's perfectly fine to set high expectations for yourself, and it's perfectly fine to set high expectations on your inner most desires. But you simply cannot set those same high expectations on someone else you desire. If the person you desire doesn't meet your requirements, don't try and force your requirements on them. Either they meet them or they don't, plain and simple.
