| Why Devalue And Belittle Yourself? by MizMyColi(f): 1:48pm On Dec 04, 2014 |
So, you’ve been called a LovePeddler, you’ve been labelled “cheap or finished goods”. You’ve been told either directly or indirectly; by words and/or action that you could never possibly attract the man/woman of your dreams. There’s this nagging voice inside of you which keeps reminding you – especially at those moments when you decide to pick up the pieces of your life and move on – that you’ll never be good enough, that you’ll keep having failed relationships, that Love, no matter how badly you desire it could never happen to you! In your quest for true love, you’ve probably lost count of the number of guys/ladies you’ve dated and or slept with. Perchance, you now subtly consider yourself abominable and unworthy of a good man/woman. I am here to implore you to change that mind-set, change it because Good is about to happen to you, change it because your worth and value could never be determined by your actions. Every condemnation or guilt that you feel within is either from you or the cosmic rebel, certainly not God (or whichever name you know Him by) such thoughts cause more harm than good in the long run. You must reject them. You are whole, you are worthy, you are a perfect representation of all that is good. You are royalty, you are beautiful. What you think of yourself right now is inconsequential as long as the eternal truth stated ^^^ above remains imho, *nodding my head*  you should fall in line Yes, you find yourself making the same mistakes over and over. Yes, you keep doing those things which you know quite well are against your principles and they upset the inner core of your being. More oft than not, you consider yourself a failure having not been able to live up to your set values, principles and orientation. Deep down, beyond your popularity, beyond that killer smile/charm and figure/build you possess, there are those moments when you do some deep soul searching and all you consider yourself as is “One Colossal Mess!” Well, Guess What  [size=14pt]YOU ARE NOTHING SHORT OF THE BEST THERE IS.[/size] There are those times too, when you know – deep within, that you’re one priceless treasure who’s just getting most of his/her priorities wrong. Sometimes you feel you have it all together, only to realize you’ve been living an illusion. Listen Sweetheart, there is hope for you, hope for your future and the fact that you’ve read to this length means you desire real change in your life. So, I’m going to ask two questions: 1.In as much as you desire a package deal for a Husband/wife, considering your flaws, do you really believe you can attract a man/woman that noble/virtuos in your lifetime? In other words, when it comes to romantic relationships, is your head thought in tune with your heart thought? 2.What value do you place on yourself? If your answers to the above questions were in the negative, or quite hazy – You are welcome to read on  .Now, all you need do is make a conscious decision this moment, to take charge of your life and in cooperation with your maker, create the kind of experience you sincerely desire of life. You’ll need a journal with which to write down the things you desire in your man/woman of the future and your life as a whole. You’ll also make a bullet list of positive confessions, which you should recite whole-heartedly at least 2 times daily or as you’re led. Let those words become a part of you, when conversing with people, look for a way to infuse those words in your conversation. If you used to think and say “Love only happens in movies” you could change that phrase to something like – “Love Can and Will Happen to Me”  If you used to think of yourself as unworthy and incapable of attracting AND sustaining anything good in your life, you might wanna cancel that thought process by confessing “I am good, I am worthy, priceless people and things are attracted to me, for I am priceless!” If you continue ^^^ this way, you’ll feel peaceful and stronger, with a sense of direction and perspective. Thank you for taking time to read. While writing this piece, a very good e-friend’s siggy to’ally resonates: “We CANNOT become what we need by remaining what we are It gets better! 4 Likes |

That thread irks me. She doesn't have bad choices in men rather she was tasting the waters after her virginity was broken. She probably got addicted to sexxxx and had to keep doing it, the men are not the problem... she is. Wish she will cure the lifestyle and quest with a more productive and less mind destructing ones. |

bellong: Some ladies just don't deserve the blow they're cut in relationships. More oft than not, it's because they don't know better sha. |
| Re: Why Devalue And Belittle Yourself? by bellong: 4:26pm On Dec 04, 2014 |
MizMyColi: Nobody who is innocent deserves blows in a relationship irrespective of gender. However, ladies cry wolf when they are mostly the architect of their own misfortune. Every lady has the right to quit a toxic relationship but they wouldn't and will keep complaining that their guys are not treating them right. Whatever is self inflicted cannot be categorized as "going through". "going through" is something a person has no control over. Ladies should learn to make good choices than being controlled by ephemeral things. 3 Likes |

bellong: You make it out to be so easy on screen. Leaving a toxic relationship requires will power and mental strength. Not every lady out there understands ^^^ those concepts. How in God's green Nairaland did they inflict such on themselves, how sir/ma You meet a guy........ You thought you were loved. You thought you understood love. You didn't know better........ You summon virtually every fibre of your being to love him back, fiercely and sacrificially. Even when it's against your values, you had sex. You didn't know better You'd committed your resources (time, treasure and talent) into making the relationship work. Little did you realize you were being manipulated. Little did you realize you were loosing yourself. When you finally did..... You were torn between___ "I've com too far to let go......what will people think, where do I go to from here......yepah! I am finished!  and "Now that I have realized, I can't continue........I'mma take a walk. ^^^ The average uninformed/unenlightened Nigerian lady would stick with the first option, except she has a back-up plan. I beg to disagree on "has no control over"...... I have an exam tomorrow. My books are right in front of me. The course I'm reading for looks like Aramaic. I'm feeling sleepy........ I have a choice. To close the darn book and just scribble whatever tomorrow. The worst that can happen is re-writting. I have the power to make any choice that suits me....... (control) Yet I'm going thru' I'm really not left with much of a choice from the other party involved (examiner) So, somehow.....I have to cover this book, anyhow...... ^^^That's the way it is for some ladies too. |

MizMyColi: It is nobody's fault if a lady cannot do her due diligence before giving a player an opportunity. Most of these players use the vain ambition of these ladies to woo them. You summon virtually every fibre of your being to love him back, fiercely and sacrificially. At least, the sex was mutual. The guy didn't put a gun to her head to do it. This shouldn't be a reason to complain. Considering not to leave a relationship because of what others will say is a self inflicted damage. Probably she got into the relationship because of what others will say. Summary of what I am saying is that everybody should take responsibility for his/her failure and not shift blame which most of these ladies do. They are never at fault but the guy. 3 Likes |

MizMyColi:Are you implying that the lady in this scenario is a victim of her own choices, since the choice is/was ultimately hers? |

Are you (m) or (f)? You know....... I have my thinking cap on. So, I'm able to sift thru' and get your message. And quite candidly, I'm putting myself in the shoes of the average nigerian girl. Maybe trying to garner some Ultimately, it is what it is. You come off as a tad bit insensitive. I take it you're (m). At the emboldened, what saying you now Who nuh go nuh know..............My conclusion is this. Babes be going thru some shiii in their relationships because they do not know better. If they did, they won't last the next nanosecond in there. Knowledge is power. It pays to wise up bellong: |
