LOVE IS NEVER ENOUGH

Image result for love is never enough 

“The only thing we never get enough of is love and the only thing we never give enough of is love”
Sometimes, love isn’t enough. No matter how strong it is. And no matter how big it is, sadly, love is not the only thing to keep two people together. You need love, yes. Of course you do. But you need a lot more than love to keep a relationship going.
A lot of people think that love is the answer. They think that it’s the secret. But if it was the secret to successful relationships, then no one would be breaking up. No one would be divorcing. If love was the secret, then there would be a lot more people happily married right now.
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.” ~Dalai Lama
Sometimes, love is all a couple has. And when that happens, there is not a lot they can do anymore. Love alone is not going to keep those two people together. Love alone is something, but it’s not everything.
So, when a relationship or marriage ends, it’s not because the love wasn’t there. It’s not because their love wasn’t real. It’s because of a million other things. Maybe it’s money, or differences on how to raise children. Maybe it’s two people growing apart. Maybe it’s a realization that they are too different. Maybe it’s about something that happened in the past. Perhaps it’s distance. Or maybe it’s an unhealthy relationship that needs to end.
Regardless of what the reason is, no matter what, people should never judge other people for ending it. Don’t ever judge a broken up couple and say that they weren’t in love enough. Don’t say they didn’t try hard enough. Don’t ever place blame on love for being the driving force between two individuals.
Love is always there. Most likely when two people say their vows to one another, they mean it 100%. Trust me when I say, no one goes into a relationship thinking it’s going to end. No one goes into a marriage thinking it’s going to end. Everyone believes that love will make it last forever. Everyone thinks that love is something so powerful, that it can withstand any hurricane.

GIVE THANKS

THANKSGIVING AS A LIFESTYLE... A song writer once said "Give thanks with a grateful heart" and I totally agree with that, I'm so in love with that song...you can't imagine lol. We should be wired to give thanks to God as our lifestyle and not a choice. Today is supposed to be my mid-year thanksgiving in church but I am caught up at work. I woke up with mixed emotions, sad that I will be working whereas my mates are in church celebrating thanksgiving. But then again I thought of the fact that thanksgiving requires more than just your presence but a grateful heart. There is no reason why you should not say "Thank you Jesus" every morning when you wake up. Its more than just a gift to be alive everyday, It is a miracle. Recently, my brother was telling me about a friend who lost another friend in a ghastly motor accident. I was so inquisitive that I went as far as researching on the dead girl. I couldn't hold back my tears as I went through her Fac...

WAYS TO KNOW A GUY IS INTO YOU

Image
Some of us are so lost in the "Friend zone" that we don't even realize when that "friend" got something more than we imagine. There are a few basic ways in which we can tell whether or not that guy likes us. Don't quote me though, I believe there are several other ways but these are the few I have noticed over time. There are some unconscious things guys do when they feel differently about a lady, no matter how much they try to hide it you can tell when a guy is attracted to a woman... WHAT HE SAYS- You can tell from what a guy says whether or not he is into you but you cannot be 100 percent sure from this. Observe closely the way he talks to you and the kind of conversation you hold. The subject of his conversation may rate how he views you, does he TEASE you frequently? Playful teasing may hint that he wishes you to tease back. A guy almost never teases a girl he isn't interested in. Sometimes he goes as far as mimicking something about you.When a...

Xenophobia or Afrophobia: Is it the fear of foreigners or the fear of fellow Africans? by Mary Izobo – International Human Rights Lawyer

Image
Xenophobia or Afrophobia: Is it the fear of foreigners or the fear of fellow Africans? I am what you would call a nomadic African who has not had the luxury of being sedentary. In my twenty-something years, I have lived in five countries and still counting. South Africa, where I recently completed a Master’s degree is my latest home. However, I have felt more unwelcome in South Africa than anywhere else. In 2007, when I first arrived in Pretoria, a policeman stopped my car to check where I was from, because apparently, I looked ‘different’. As soon as I said I am from Nigeria, he asked for my bags which he proceeded to search it disparagingly, as if it contained pieces of dirt, and not my treasured valuables. He then demanded to search my handbag. By this time I had had enough of his disrespectful behaviour, so I refused to give him my handbag. I pointed out that by law, no policeman is allowed to search a female handbag without a warrant of arrest and only if I was charg...
