Wow!!   What wise sages you all are!  So many PEARLS... So little space.   I decided to make my 'PEARLS' a blog to give everyone a chance to add any 'gems' you think qualify.  So...

Whether it's something you've said... or...something that really hits the mark for you, share your PEARLS!

I can't begin to tell you how POWERFUL and IMPACTFUL some of your words are. Some of them make me think. So many of them encourage and inspire. Still others just plain make me laugh out loud! I call them...'PEARLS'.   So...

I will be using this spot on my page, to share some of these 'gems'. Keep checking because you never know... This 'Hottie' might just be sharing some of your 'PEARLS'.

"I've lost many loved ones, and had countless personal battles. And as long as I live, there will be more battles and losses.  But thank God, there is such a thing as VICTORY!"   ladymizvee

When you're mature enough to take many words to head and not heart you've come a long way.  JANINE

"...it is not my job to let someone know they are full of bullshyt bc more times than not they know their intentions towards you and they know what they are doing... their choice to correct it."  INTRICATE

"Dreams prepare your soul to receive what you dream about when it becomes reality. Dreams inspire you to make room in your life for what you say you want..............even if it is nowhere in sight."   LEGEND

"Fantasies inspire no preparation as by definition they can never be realities..........and no one expects them to be. They are playgrounds to those who choose to live the best parts of their lives IN THEIR OWN MINDS...........because there is too much risk in the real world."  LEGEND

"It's amazing what you find yourself being angry about ... I guess, sometimes you just have to scream, holler, bang some shytt, acknowledge it and get it out of your system before you can move forward."   MI MRS aka G

"...be happy for what you have ... for those that love you unconditionally ... what you have been allowed to accomplish and give thanks where thanks is due."         MI MRS aka G

"I actually believe for those of us with faith, pivotal moments shape us into who we can truly become. ... that moment either brought you to a whole 'nother level in your life or served as a reminder as to who is really in control."   KCangel

"True love and intimacy requires a cost...we just get tired of putting ourselves- our hearts, our minds, our emotions out there...instead we substitute our bodies cause from that...we can easily recover."   KCangel

"When two people are in love or one loves the other, the patience the one who feels love has for the other person is MONUMENTAL... It never fails to amaze me." Intricate

"A CREATIVE SPIRIT KNOWS NO BOUNDS"  Videomaker

"People judge based on what they see. They depend on their eyesight. But sometimes, you have to let your insight exceed your eyesight." Forty

"COURAGE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF FEAR BUT IT IS FACING AND OVERCOMING THE THINGS WE FEAR."   Guardian555 

"Esteem...Everyday people doing extraordinary things in extraordinary circumstances. "  Mink

"Transitioning is a Mountain to be chopped into pieces, it takes time and money." Nilesmusiq1

"I'm finding that the best comfort zone is learning to be comfortable with the fact that you aren't in one."   Legend

"There are people who owe you thanks who will never tell you...and there are people in this world who will not be able to get past something that you've done. Sometimes closure is something you're going to have to work out on your own." Legend

"You can spend your life repairing yesterday----or preparing for tomorrow. I choose to enjoy my today. Incorporate wisdom from my yesterday. And embrace my tomorrows with preparation, faith, and appreciation for the journey that God has allowed me to live through. The good, the bad, and everything in between." Forty

"If God is love...and God could never be beneath us, then how can we get to Him without rising? In church, when someone is "healed" they fall down..but whenever God healed, they GOT UP. True love is always honored by rising up."   Legend

"Men, please remember your every action , reaction and non action will forever impact the way your daughters view relationships with men. They will only expect to be loved by a man as much as you love their mother. Indifference can go a long ways."   KCangel

Love is not something that you "fall in" it is something that you rise to." Legend   

"If we have NO expectations, then we live in a stagnant and complacent world where change does not equal growth. But if our expectations are too lofty, without measured goals to get there, then we increase the chance of being let down in a serious way."   E

"Radical change in life style is a kamikaze idea but sometime it is just what is needed and necessary."   Mink

"Respect is a given and trust is earned -- up to you to decide how both will be maintained." Intricate

" Between stimulus and response there is a space. And in that space lies our ability to choose. And in that choice lies the potential for growth / development / joy / happiness."     Forty

"The beautiful thing is that love has two other companions, faith and hope. So, true love is never alone. I have recently learned that while our FAITH is the evidence of what we do not see, our HOPE expects things when it looks least likely to happen, it is our LOVE that enthusiastically embraces the object it adores."   Gardian555

Only G could have a status with 35 comments. It read: "Are YOU worth fighting for ?????? .... I know I am" This question comes from my response, and G felt it would make for a good blog. (We'll see)... But I said I'd write it... and a promise is a promise. So....

Do we consider ourselves worthy enough, to 'fight for    ourselves?   

Now before you jump on your 'you better believe I would' soap box, stop and think about it.  No, I mean 'really' think about it.   Ask yourself, how many times have I agreed to do something or agreed 'with' someone...just to keep the peace?  Or said/thought... 'I've got to start taking better care of myself... or...I've got to start putting myself first for a change.  Sound familiar?

Now I could write a long dissertation, sighting a myriad of  similar ways... times.... situations scenarios... but.. You get the picture, don't you?   So... I'll ask you again...

Do We Consider Ourselves Worthy Enough, To Fight For...OURSELVES? REALLY?
