Sum Summer Cleaning
In the words of B Scott....sometimes you just gotta do some early (Summer) cleaning!
You need to evaluate and reevaluate those you have in your life right now. Each person in your life right now should be a person who is helping you grow as an individual, a person who is helping you be the best you you can be.
So....assess, reassess, evaluate, and ship out if they cant shape up :)

Random Advice
We live in a world where common morality is slowy fading, but it is the strength that lies within us that allows us to stay true to who we are. Life has brought its ups and downs and its highs and lows but courage from within allows us to trod on and continue through the adversity.
People come in and out of your life, its on YOU to choose who YOU want to staY and who you want to let go of. Its sad how sometimes people take advantage of your kindness and trust, and mistaken it for weakness. You cant let that phase you though, always remember you will meet someone who will appreciate and love you for who you are. And never make bad experiences turn you into someone who treats others the way they wouldnt want to be treated....karma is a reality that everyone faces one way or the other. And in the event that you do make mistakes, which you will since everyone does, own up to them and be humble enough to apologize and admit your wrong when you need to.
Stay strong and do not lose hope in people. God will bless you with the right people in time, you need to go through pain sometimes because it builds character.
Morals
Morals and values are a reflection of character ; the way you treat people who can give you nothing, the way men treat women, the way women treat men, the way you personally treat family and those who have done you wrong...all that reflects on your morals and values. What I don't understand is how one claims to be "moral" but often times their morals go on a mini vacation, the values come and go from time to time, depending on the situation.
If your a moral person...your moral through and through. You respect yourself and others, you treat thy neighbor as you would want to be treated, and you aspire towards personal growth..growth that goes beyond being attached to money/material things/women/men. Growth that stems from knowledge and hardship. Growth that allows you to appreciate every blessing that God so kindly hands to you, keeping in mind that the one who gave it to you can take it away if you misuse it.
Whats really good is when you can actually look in the mirror, strip away all your possessions and still see a proper human being. Strip away the friends, the status, the relationship, the fame, the fortune and see the essence of who you really are...a moral person. A person that understands the value of immaterial things and a person who values whats Real in life. A person that stands for something and therefore does not fall for anything and everything that life throws your way.

You cant change nobody
It took me a while to finally understand that I cant change people. I always believed that people have the capacity to change and become better, however I failed to realize that change comes from within. People only change when they truly want to. I finally learned this just about a year ago and I believe its probably one of the most valuable life lessons I have ever learned.
Us women often try to change men into what we want them to be and we sit around and wait until the change happens. This needs to stop. We need to realize that change comes internally and the only person you can change is YOU! We need to stop making excuses for people and their behavior and just let them be, if we don't feel comfortable with them as they are.
Maya Angelou says it best " When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." And this quote I found to be so true throughout life. People always reveal themselves but unfortunately, we turn a blind eye or we try to change them into what we want them to become.
Sometimes you just need to let go of people and let them change on their own!
