Throughout life we tent to open ourselves up to many people. We meet people at our jobs, at the local market, social media, etc. We tell them our stories. We start to expose the things that define us as indeviduals. Our intentions are usually in the right place and we hope that the ones who we are getting to know will have those same intentions. This is the part of life where we are taking huge chances. Not everyone has our best interests. Not everyone wants you or me to succesd. Evil people do exist. There are many people out there who's main intention is to hurt other people. Everyone wants or expects something from the person or people in their lives. The hard part is trying to figure out what exactly is it that the people in our lives want from us. We know what we want and what it is that we expect from them, but what exactly is it that they request from us in the relationships that we have with them? Opportunistic people only involve other people in their lives for self benefit in a way that if that person does not have what the opportunist is looking for, there will be no relationship. We also call these types of people USERS! Some people only want to be a part of your life to use you for the things that they need or want at the time. Usually it's either sex or money. Being a person of integrity usually is the target on the back for an opertunistic person to prey upon. People who give of themselves freely for all the right reasons tend to be exactly what users and manipulators look for. It's an easy opportunity for a user to get freely the things that they should be providing for themselves. It isn't until the giving person has no more that the user will remove or turn their back on the person who give them so. Not everyone means you well. Make sure that you are completely aware of the things that people want from you. Never end up in situations where you are taking on responsibilities of other people who should be providing for themselves. Give what you can. Trust me God will bless you for that in which you give freely. But do not let the devil and the people who pattern themselves behind his behavior manipulate you out of the blessings that God intended only for you. You don't have to give your lives away to people who never seem to have enough. Learn how to say NO sometimes. And learn how to pinpoint the intentions and motives of the people around you. If you don't know, just try paying close attention to the track record of the relationship. How much have you invested into that person or people? How much does the people in your life invest in you? Be smart not stupid, and don't let people who don't mean you well take so much from you that you have nothing left to give.
Sometimes in life we get the things that are not best. Those things are meant for us to not be indulging in unless they are the initial part of what makes us not have them later on. We aren't supposed to be indulging in those things after the situations that make us understand, after being burned within the way we have to prevent the entire fire from engulfing our lives , shows us that those things aren't to be a part of what it takes to make us satisfied with what we are to have. We understand that those things aren't for us to have. Baring guilt comes from re-entering the situations that taught us not to have specific things with the delusion that we can indulge or choose once again those things, or that thing that isn't for us to have. We are left with this fear that the consequences that we once suffered would somehow return. That fear is GUILT! We already understand that the same decision to choose or indulge in whatever gave unsatisfying results prior will only b...
