Women are born to be loved and cherished, not to be abused.

A few days ago, I went for a work-related workshop. One of the topics covered was on abusive relationships. The speaker told the audience that 90% of abusers are men. I beg to differ. I believe that more than 90% (at least 95%) of the abusers are men.

I wonder why women would choose to stay in abusive relationships? Why don't they leave/end such relationships? I believe that in the long run, leaving/ending such relationships would be beneficial to themselves as well as their children (if they have children).

I believe that women who enter abusive relationships or who choose to stay in such relationships have insecurity issues that need to be addressed. Otherwise, they would probably subject themselves to perpetual abuse in order to keep the relationships or they would end up in other abusive relationships.

Having self-confidence is essential. But having a bloated ego is damaging to one's spiritual well-being and to one's relationship with others.

Thankful

I am happy to have made a good purchase just now.:) I am thankful for that. I am also thankful that my sis gave me 3 blouses so that I don't have to spend money buying them. :)

A Force to be Reckoned With

I am full of wisdom, humour, tears, passion and love.
I am that which is held tightly to the breast,
lightly on the lap,
peered at, sighed over
and remembered.

I bring you foolish fancies
I bring friendship to the lonely.
I take you with me to the far reaches of the earth,
from India to China,
to Mars, to Venus,
...and probe into the habits of chimpanzees.

I reach into your mind:
I show you things that are unbelievable
and make you believe them.

You must treasure me, protect me:
I give you knowledge of life you never dreamed of.

Don't desecrate me; I fill empty spaces
of your life.
I give myself to you gladly; seek me out
and find me...

I am a BOOK.

Reading enriches the mind.

Yesterday, I realised that an ex-boss and I shared the same views on certain things. Hmmm...indeed great minds think alike...hahahhahahahha.

I hardly pamper myself. But yesterday, I pampered myself by going for facial. :O

Gratitude is ESSENTIAL for a healthy soul.

Dare to Dream

My Thoughts...

I used to keep gratitude journals. On hindsight, I realise that my heart was filled with more gratitude towards God during those days when I kept such journals. Now, I am planning to start a new gratitude journal and I hope I would persevere in keeping such journals so that my heart will be constantly filled with gratitude. :)

God healed me of some physical/medical conditions in the past...and I witnessed first-hand His miracles in my life and in the lives of my parents....that is why I am a firm believer in miracles and in God's power....

I used to walk with an obvious limp on the left side of my body apparently because of a slipped disc that seemed to have caused my left hip joint to go out of place. As a result, my left leg appeared to be 1-cm shorter than my right leg. After God's healing, I was able to feel the difference (and I knew the difference). However, when I got a stroke in the early part of last year, I began to walk with quite an obvious limp again. But thank God that I am now able to walk normally...

Hard work doesn't necessarily mean success but long-term success definitely requires hard work.

Self-Care

Recently, I heard someone talk about the importance of self-care. I agree. :) Self-care, to me, is especially critical if we want to accomplish great things in life.

My Thoughts...

Recently, I received news of the deaths of a few ex-clients. Life is so unpredictable...

One of the ex-clients was a young lady who was apparently always craving for men's love...it's so sad...I don't understand why some (or many) women seem to be craving for the love of men to the extent that they are so willing to do crazy things for them...if only women learn to love themselves and if they know that they are of immeasurable worth in the sight of God regardless of how men view them, maybe many tragedies could be avoided...

Servant Leadership

"...the essential quality that sets servant-leaders from others is that they live by their conscience - the inward moral sense of what is right and what is wrong...When people live by their conscience...their behavior echoes in everyone's souls. People instinctively feel trust and confidence toward them.

~~Robert K. Greenleaf (in his book entitled "Servant Leadership. A Journey into the Nature of Legitimate Power & Greatness")
