James W. Inspirational Thoughts

 Are you aware that it's a passive aggressive way of bullying? Many people "unconsciously" do it without even knowing it. For example, if you inform a person of something that displeases you, and they (blatantly) disregard your desires despite your displeasure, that is a classic form of passive aggressiveness at it's best. And whether you know it or not, they are basically telling you they do not respect you without even saying it. A person can also bully you through anger, unconsciously/consciously using it as a control mechanism in order to provoke you into conforming to their desires. Another form of bullying can be used through instilling fear into a person through manipulation, using them ONLY at their convenience and discard them later when they are no longer needed. 

 Longevity in a relationship depends on the love you have for a person. Things are not going to be perfect, nor will it go without aggravation and frustrations, it comes with the territory. Relationships have zero tolerance for selfishness centered on personal agendas. Turn your attention and focus on the great things about that person during those dark moments that create tension in relationships, while remaining positive. Maintaining and salvaging relationships requires keeping God in the middle of everything whether bad or good. Do that and you will live peacefully for the rest of your life. 

 Have you ever had someone to totally ignore you, pretending as if you don't even exist? That same person that ignored you will suddenly reach out to you when they need you, but ONLY when it's convenient for them. Amazing isn't it? Life is funny like that.

 Your not as smart as you think you are when it comes to relationships, especially women. Yes, sometimes things can become a big frustrating at times, but that's the way relationships work. It's not designed to roll smoothly, it's not designed to always roll in your favor, it's not designed to satisfy your every need, and it's not designed to conform to all the issues you desire to be the way YOU want them to be. Relationships are tricky like that, however, once you accept that life is not about YOU and you can accept that person for who they are, you've reached the top of the mountain. 

 If someone says something that hurts or digs deep into your spirit, always forgive them immediately. Don't hold grudges and allow hatred to enter into your spirit, simply forgive them and move forward. Because if you allow the words that people speak to dictate your inner emotions, you've allowed them to enter your inner spirit and control them, and that's giving them power. Forgiveness is always the key ingredient to moving forward in life. 

 Why do you always have to make it about you? Through close observation, often times in conversations most people will flip the topic and make it about themselves, redirecting the entire conversation. That is very selfish. Stop talking about yourself and allow someone else to have the spotlight besides you.

 It appears that less and less people are using logic as a way of navigating themselves through life, why? Logic requires consistent use of the brain that allows you to configure your brain cells. So why not use them? Through close observation, many people develop brain fatigue when called upon to use those brain cells. Perhaps you should be careful with the things you eat, as some food are laced with ingredients designed to dull your brain cells. Lack of exercise can also cause brain fatigue. Failure to use logic is not a death sentence, but it sure can make your life very difficult in the long run.
