"Gonna Be My Girl"
The First Time I ever saw you, in the crowded NightClub, On The DanceFloor
Who knew I'd be staring at my Future, Face 2 Face
You were such a Lovely Memory, Though we've never met before.....
We Danced and you smiled and my heart was yours forever
Of all the things I've known before that came through the Night.....
I have never been so sure in all of my life.....
I don't know How... I Don't Know When.... I Don't Know What I'm Gonna Say.... To make it all begin.... But, I do know One Thing...... As Sure as Anything......As sure as Love is still alive......In This World..... You're gonna be My Girl......
I was goin' through some changes and I know I broke your Heart......
But, I been working on myself since we've been apart......
Somethings you have to just let go, until you learn the way to hold them......
You were the best of any and everything I've ever known......
The Love we had comes only once in every lifetime.....
And I'll be Damned if I'm gonna just give it up........ I'd rather die.......
And I don't know how, and I dont know when....... and I really don't know what it is that I'm gonna say...... To bring it back again..... But I do know one thing..... As sure as there is anything, You are gonna be my girl.......
I know that this Road won't be easy........
I Know Baby, It is gonna be the fight of my life......
And I know Baby, That the Love that Tries is the Love that Survives.......
And I aint letting go, I'm gonna be holding on with all of my might.......
I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do to bring you back again, I don't know how and I dont know when or what I'm gonna say...... But, I do know that I'm not gonna walk away, I'm gonna stay and show you, that You're gonna be my girl......... As sure that there is love still in this world.... You are gonna be my girl.......

Focus On Results
Focus on results
Progress comes when you focus on results. Progress happens when you visualize the results you desire, when you expect those results, and then work to make them happen.
Focus on results, and you can figure out how to bring them about. Focus on results, and you have a way to know, in each and every step, whether or not you’re making progress.
Good intentions are nice, and sophisticated methods are impressive. What really count, though, are the end results.
Any effort you undertake will use your precious time and resources. Make sure you get the most value in return by staying focused on the results.
Don’t allow yourself to remain stuck in mediocrity. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re doing great when you’re really doing not much at all.
Clearly and specifically define the results you seek, measure your progress, and weigh each action, each effort, accordingly. Focus on results and you’ll get the very best ones.

Abundance of Opportunity
There is no shortage of opportunity. The more you make use of the opportunities, the more opportunities you make.
Opportunity does not get used up, no matter how many people make use of it. When opportunity is followed and fulfilled, it expands.
Problems create opportunities. And then the solutions to those problems create even more opportunities.
A meaningful, valuable opportunity demands much of you. When you give your effort, time and commitment to the opportunity, it becomes even more valuable and meaningful.
Don’t be envious or resentful when others create great achievements from the opportunities. Those achievements bring increased opportunities with them.
Move forward with the best opportunities. And as you do, you’ll create even better ones.

Choose To Actively LiVe
Don’t find an excuse. Find a way.
Don’t figure out how to put it off until later. Use your energy and intelligence and time to get it done now.
Let go of the urge to complain about how things are. Remind yourself that you can make things better, and challenge yourself in each moment to do just that.
There’s no need to be dismayed at how hard it will be. Choose instead to be enthusiastic about how much of a real difference you can make.
What really matters is not what’s pushing against you. What matters is how authentically committed you are to moving forward.
Connect with that commitment, connect with your positive passion, and choose to actively live life for all it’s worth. You absolutely can if you will, so do.

Grow Stronger
Whatever happens, you can use it as a way to grow stronger. Every day can end up making you stronger.
You can complain about it, or you can grow stronger through it. You can worry about it, or you can grow stronger instead.
Don’t let it make you frustrated, or resentful or dismayed. Let it motivate you to become stronger.
Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, feel what it feels like to respond with strength and clarity of positive purpose. Call upon the strength you have, and you will have more.
You are stronger than any circumstance, stronger than any thoughtless comment made by another, and stronger than any disappointment. You can adjust, adapt, and re-commit yourself again and again to moving forward.
You are already strong and capable and experienced. Use that strength to advance life’s goodness, and grow stronger and stronger with each passing day.

Whatever You Can Imagine
You are not your problems. You are not the world’s problems.
You are not your possessions. You are not your job title, your social standing, your credit score or your bank balance.
You are a unique and beautiful spirit, immersed in a universe that’s overflowing with abundance. You are a bundle of magnificent possibilities, with the desire and the skills to fulfill those possibilities.
You are able to enjoy beauty and to give love. You can create joy where it has not existed before and spread that joy far and wide.
You can brilliantly and successfully adapt and thrive in an endless variety of situations. You can focus your awareness and your efforts to bring into reality whatever you envision.
You are the wonderful and amazing person who can rise above all the pettiness and succeed no matter what. You are whatever you can imagine, so always, always, imagine the very best.

As You Choose To Be
You don’t have to let the surroundings and occurrences of your world bring you stress. You can choose to give them love and appreciation.
Instead of handing out judgments about every little frustration, annoyance and disturbance, you can exude peace and positive purpose. Instead of letting life get to you, let real, authentic joy flow forth from you.
You are perfectly capable of being ever peaceful, even though you may not always be in peaceful surroundings. You are easily and naturally able to be continually positive, regardless of what may come your way.
The quality of your life in every moment is your decision. Peace is not a place or even an external condition, but a choice of how you are.
Let go of conflicting thoughts about how life is supposed to be. Live life simply and purely as you choose to be.
Enjoy the immense richness that is always within you, and around you, and extending infinitely out from you. Choose love, peace, joy and positive purpose in every moment, and feel how outstandingly good it is to give life your very best.

Understanding What She Sais
Men and women are very distinct creatures. While men have a tendency to be straightforward, women are often not so simple. Unlike men, women often uses hints and insinuations to steer you in their direction, and when trying to understand what they really mean, you are sometimes better off reading between the lines. The following cheat sheet will help you learn how to listen to your woman and bridge the gap between what she says and what she means.
1. "Fine."
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right.
2. "Just give me five minutes."
If she is getting dressed, this means 30 minutes.
3. "Where is our relationship going?"
What she means is that she would like for you to suggest the idea of the two of you to graduating to a more serious and exclusive relationship.
4. "Nothing."
This word ALWAYS means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "Nothing" usually end with "Fine."
5. "Go ahead."
This is not permission--it's a dare. Whatever it is, do it at your own risk!
6. "Loud sigh."
This is a non-verbal statement that means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time arguing with you about nothing.
7. "That’s okay."
This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. It means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
8. "A guy was flirting with me."
She wants you to know that other men are interested in her and that you should appreciate what you have.
9. "You know me so well."
It means that she's starting to feel the L-word, but she doesn't want to be the first one to say it.
10. "Don’t Worry About It, I Got It."
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a she has asked you to do several times, but is now doing it herself since you've neglected it. This will later result in you asking “What's wrong?”
5 Reasons Why You're Still Single
There is a huge difference between the guys who get girls on a consistent basis and the one's who just can't seem to get attention from the opposite sex no matter how hard they try. If your love life is on the skids, it’s safe to assume that you are probably guilty of one of these 5 blunders.
1. You’re too needy
If you want to run a woman off quickly, one of the best ways to do it is to be overly needy, i.e., excessively calling, emailing or sending text messages early in a relationship, always being available and doing everything she wants. Furthermore, women are not attracted to the type of man who needs too much support, validation, and constant reinforcement.
2. You don’t know how to build attraction
Many men fail in this area because they don’t know how to talk to women in a way that makes them more interested as time goes on. You need to learn the trigger points in women, i.e., how they think, react, and speak. You also have to know how to project your best qualities and use these to build attraction.
3. You're looking in the wrong places
Trying to meet women in bars and clubs is a waste of time! Many women do not like meeting men at bars and have a natural resistance to men who approach them in these settings. Some of the best places to meet single women are shopping centers, coffee shops, concerts and gyms. Women KNOW that guys who are in bars and clubs are looking for one-night stands, but they don't expect to be hit on in the above scenarios (element of surprise).
4. You don’t have confidence
Women are attracted to men with self-confidence, period. Nobody wants a guy who acts unsure of himself. A sexually confident man who is secure about his sexuality and is comfortable being who he is will always attract more women.
5. You’re not persistent
Second to not even trying, giving up too early is the most common mistake guys make. You may need to get rejected a few dozen times before you come across a girl that likes you. Remember, meeting women is about numbers, so continue
Top 10 Chivelrous Acts
Women are always quite pleased to meet a real gentleman. Following these simple tips will allow the ladies to perceive you as a man of good breeding and taste, so begin elevating yourself by displaying chivalry and the following 10 mannerisms of a true gentleman.
1. Always open doors
This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette out there. It is also one of the easiest to follow so you have no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your car, restaurant, club, or anyplace with a door, you should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then hold them open one after the other.
2. Put her coat on for her
Always help a lady put on her coat. This is a simple but powerful action.
3. Help with her seat
If a lady arrives at the table and there are no available seats, you should stand up and offer yours to her. If an unaccompanied lady is sitting next to you, it is important that you help her be seated by pulling her chair out for her and gently pushing it back into place, with the lady seated of course.
4. Stand at attention
Always stand when a lady enters or exits the room. This rule has been somewhat relaxed, so you can stand upon entrance but remain seated upon exit. Nonetheless, if you can do both, you should. Furthermore, when escorting a lady (that you know) to and from social events, you should offer her your arm. This is a little more intimate, but serves well when walking on uneven ground -- especially if she's wearing high heels.
5. Ask if she needs anything
This is one that most guys already do, but helps complete the gentlemen in all of us nevertheless. When at social events, make sure to ask the lady if you can get her something to drink or eat. Show her that you care about her comfort and needs.
6. Always be polite
Even if you don't like someone, there is no need to lower yourself to their level. Be polite and courteous; show that you're the better man. Swearing is also a big no-no. It shows that you don't have the vocabulary to express your thoughts appropriately. Furthermore, it is always very crude and impolite to be vulgar. When you speak loudly, it raises the stress level among company. It always implies that you can't reason with people and that you have to rely on force to get your point across. It also draws negative attention.
7. Do not lose your temper
When you lose your temper, you are showing everyone that you can't control your emotions. If you can't even control yourself, then how can you possibly control anything else? It is not easy, but keep your cool at all times. It is worth the effort and people will take positive note of your levelheadedness. Let people finish what they are saying before adding your comments. Interrupting others is a sign of poor etiquette and a lack of social skills. If you want to come across as egotistical, you can do so by constantly interrupting.
8. Do not stare
Ogling someone is the equivalent of psychological aggression. You don't want to intimidate people for no reason.
9. Do not spit
Although lots of men do this almost subconsciously, don't spit in public. Spitting is very crude and not too pretty to look at. Do not spit in public unless you want to look like you were raised in a sewer.
10. Respect your elders
In fact, you should respect others as you would like them to respect you. I am specifying elders because it seems that today, young men think they know it all. Well, they don't. Just think of yourself five years ago... you're much smarter and experienced today, aren't you?
1. Always open doors
This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette out there. It is also one of the easiest to follow so you have no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your car, restaurant, club, or anyplace with a door, you should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then hold them open one after the other.

Always stand when a lady enters or exits the room. This rule has been somewhat relaxed, so you can stand upon entrance but remain seated upon exit. Nonetheless, if you can do both, you should. Furthermore, when escorting a lady (that you know) to and from social events, you should offer her your arm. This is a little more intimate, but serves well when walking on uneven ground -- especially if she's wearing high heels.
5. Ask if she needs anything
This is one that most guys already do, but helps complete the gentlemen in all of us nevertheless. When at social events, make sure to ask the lady if you can get her something to drink or eat. Show her that you care about her comfort and needs.
6. Always be polite
Even if you don't like someone, there is no need to lower yourself to their level. Be polite and courteous; show that you're the better man. Swearing is also a big no-no. It shows that you don't have the vocabulary to express your thoughts appropriately. Furthermore, it is always very crude and impolite to be vulgar. When you speak loudly, it raises the stress level among company. It always implies that you can't reason with people and that you have to rely on force to get your point across. It also draws negative attention.
7. Do not lose your temper
When you lose your temper, you are showing everyone that you can't control your emotions. If you can't even control yourself, then how can you possibly control anything else? It is not easy, but keep your cool at all times. It is worth the effort and people will take positive note of your levelheadedness. Let people finish what they are saying before adding your comments. Interrupting others is a sign of poor etiquette and a lack of social skills. If you want to come across as egotistical, you can do so by constantly interrupting.
8. Do not stare
Ogling someone is the equivalent of psychological aggression. You don't want to intimidate people for no reason.
9. Do not spit
Although lots of men do this almost subconsciously, don't spit in public. Spitting is very crude and not too pretty to look at. Do not spit in public unless you want to look like you were raised in a sewer.
10. Respect your elders
In fact, you should respect others as you would like them to respect you. I am specifying elders because it seems that today, young men think they know it all. Well, they don't. Just think of yourself five years ago... you're much smarter and experienced today, aren't you?
Just Be Aware & Maintain Awareness
Open your awareness to the abundance. Open your awareness to the goodness and the possibilities.
Life is renewed in every moment. There is no need to keep re-fighting the battles of the past.
Relax, and let the fears dissolve. Be at peace, and allow the abundance to flow through you.
Send all your energy into all you love. Now is when opportunity is transformed into beautiful value.
Focus on what is good, what is right, what is true and meaningful. Give the whole of your presence to the best you can envision.
Let the richness into your awareness and into your life. Enjoy and love and live and create with no hesitation, free of worry and doubt......

"Point The Way Forward"
Don’t let the worst of life get to you. Instead, let the best of life shine through you.
Let your attitude be based on your most positive vision rather than on what may or may not happen. When the world threatens to bring you down, choose to lift the world up.
Set a positive, purposeful agenda for the day and then follow through with action. Show all of life how beautiful and meaningful it can be by the way you live it.
There is enough dismay in the world without you adding to it. Do what is necessary to add to the joy, love, achievement and fulfillment.
Choose to be aggressively, respectfully and authentically positive. Point the way forward with your attitude and your actions.
Change life for the better by the way you look at it and by the way you live it. See the best, be your best, and make your world the best it can be.

The Fact That You Can
Not only are you already highly capable, you are capable of becoming even more capable. Exercise your capabilities, and nothing is beyond your reach.
When you’ve enjoyed great success you can step forward and create even more. When you encounter disappointments and obstacles, you can raise your own level of ability to get beyond them.
The way to make full and increasing use of your capabilities is to have an authentic reason. True desire will push your effectiveness higher and higher.
Know that you can, know why you must, and you’ll find a way to get it done. Put your amazing abilities to good use by giving yourself a powerful and meaningful reason to do so.
Do not agonize over why you can’t. Accept, acknowledge and express with your actions the fact that you can.
Every situation is your opportunity to put your dynamic capabilities to good use. Every day is a day in which you can make a real difference in a meaningful and effective way.

In Motion.... Keep It Going
When you’re on a roll, keep going. When you’re in a slump, get going.
Get in motion and stay in motion. The possibilities are far more powerful and more numerous when you’re taking action.
If you’re just sitting around doing nothing, you won’t be too thrilled with whatever happens to come your way, if anything. When you get up and get moving, you can go any place and experience anything you choose.
Being patient is admirable but being lazy is not. Be eager and persistent about taking action, while being patient about letting the results come.
The way to have it done is to get up and get it done. The way to live the life of your dreams is to bring it about with focused action.
Get the power of momentum on your side and keep it there. Get in motion, stay in motion, and live life on your own very best terms.

I am bad with time and it's something that she just couldn't handle. But to me it's not something that should be split apart over. there are much worse things in life. But people dont realize and take for granted what is good. But now that she is packed and moved out and in her own house. It's sad because this isnt the way it is supposed to be. We're supposed to be a family.I dont know if there's more to it on her end, but only time will tell. maybe she just isn't willing to go all in and willing to committ until she is finished finding herself. But I am gonna tell you all like this. When you are searching for yourself and looking to find your way. The search will not end until you are happy and find the one that you are looking for. You find your love and you find yourself.

"Caring About Someone"
That's how we know we care about things or SomeOne... When we're scared to lose them....... But, how long can you put yourself through the hurt and the worry of losing them. It's not a Game, so the chase becomes worthless. There's a time to grow and realize who are the ones that are really there for you and who are gonna be there for you. No matter what. Effortlessly and selflessly......
There's certain things in Life that matter.... At a certain point you have to really think about what's good in your life. If You think that you're not gonna find something that someone does to be annoying or not to your liking, you're wrong. People think the grass is always greener on the other side. When they find out it's always close to being the same shade. And there are some that can be brighter and alot of them have a darker color to them....... But taking people for granted is something that we often do....... People have discussions or arguments at times, but you resolve them, talk through them, work through them, and then move on......
You have to grow Together. That's what makes you stronger. And too many times, people don't realize what they have until it is too late or until they are gone. If you find a Man or Woman that is there for you through all of your flaws and stands by you with anything and everything that you'd go through, you should try to hold onto that person. They're not as common as some people would like to believe that they are...... You're always gonna have differences, you talk through them, work through them. Especially when there is children involved. Nothing should come between you giving the child a Home with both Parents and a Family Life. It makes that much of a difference in there lives......This is my food for thought for the day!! Make sure you get everything off of this plate and digest the entire meal.....

"Some People"
When you express your ideas, some people will criticize and reject those ideas and your expression of them. Go ahead and express them anyway, learn what you can from the feedback, and watch your confidence soar.
When you live your life with absolute fidelity to the authentic person you are, some people will laugh and make fun of you. Let them laugh, and let that laughter make your enjoyment of your own true fulfillment all the more sweet.
If you admit you don’t know something, some people might think you’re stupid or ignorant. Take comfort and satisfaction in reminding yourself that effective learning begins when you admit you do not know.
Create value with honesty and integrity, and some people will look for ways to take unfair advantage of you. Be smart, be aware, be diligent and you can always stay several steps ahead of their dishonesty.
Some people will complain and whine and berate you and spread vicious rumors about you behind your back. Yet you can always choose to let their negativity be their problem, and not yours.
Don’t let the pettiness of some people slow you down for even a moment. Step forward with purpose, passion, positivity and confidence, and make your world the best it can be.

It's Worth All The Trouble
Life is a lot of trouble. And life is worth all the trouble.
The best things can often be the most difficult things. So instead of running or hiding from the difficulties, courageously work through them.
Life is filled with great and valuable opportunities. The most valuable of those opportunities are the ones that ask the most of you.
When the frustrations come, be thankful for the chance to learn from them. When the disappointments come, be grateful for the opportunity to reaffirm and recommit to what’s most important.
Life’s many troubles will come and go. As they do, the positive possibilities grow more numerous and magnificent.
Embrace each day along with whatever it brings. And use it to add more joy to life no matter what.

Unexpected
Something unexpected will happen today, and tomorrow, and every day. You can worry about what it might be, and fight against it when it comes, or you can accept it and deal with it in a positive way.
You cannot escape from life’s uncertainty, and you really wouldn’t want to. Although that uncertainty can bring pain, it can also bring great joy and powerful new positive possibilities.
What you can do is choose to grow stronger with each twist and turn. What you can do is learn, adapt, create, innovate and successfully adjust to life as it changes from day to day.
Uncertainty can sometimes be very disruptive and inconvenient and challenging. Fortunately, you have the skills to meet those challenges, and to move your life forward no matter what may come.
Though you can’t know for sure what will happen in the future, you can know for sure that there’s always a way to make the best of it. There’s always a way to remain true to your most treasured values, and to live your life according to your highest vision.
Life is not always predictable, but that’s no reason to fret. Because in that unpredictability, you’ll always find valuable and meaningful new positive opportunities.
