The Light House Theory
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, As we are on this journey of growing and becoming the best version of ourselves, we tend to get lost not only in finding ourselves , but in trying to be everything to everyone. I want to share a personal experience and testimony about myself in the hopes that it will help you. There is a theory that I learned the hard way unfortunately it’s called the lighthouse principle, even though nobody teaches it like this. A lighthouse doesn’t chase ships. It doesn’t scream, it doesn’t move. It just stands where it’s built to stand and shines light. Here’s the part that missed me up, ships that need direction will find it, ships that don’t care will crash somewhere else. For a long time I wasn’t a lighthouse, I was a rescue boat. I chased people in storms they kept choosing. I explained myself to people who already decided not to understand me or I had to prove I was worthy of staying. And every time I did that, I thought I was being loving, understanding, and loyal; but what I was doing was abandoning my post. See there is another theory that nobody talks about; the more available you make yourself to people who aren’t anchored, the more they confuse access with value. They don’t love the light; they love the convenience. So when I finally stop chasing, when I finally stop overextending, and when I finally started staying, who I was becoming was something uncomfortable and some people drifted away. At first that felt like failure, lost, and it felt like rejection, until I realize something powerful. The people who disappeared weren’t rejecting me, they just never came for me in the first place. They came for the rescue, and in that moment when I stopped rescuing the truth showed up. You don’t lose people when you grow, you lose roles; you lose the role of fixer, you lose the role of savior, the role of emotional supplier, and when those roles fall away. The only real connection remains is your life it’s quieter, cleaner, sweeter, more aligned. Because the right people don’t need you exhausted to stay. They don’t need you over giving to feel close. They don’t need you shrinking to feel secure. They’re drawn to who you are not what you provide. So if you’re in a season where people are drifting, where things feel lonely where you’re questioning if choosing yourself was worth it? Hear me clearly, you’re not losing your way. You’re finally standing in it. Stop chasing ships. Be the lighthouse. The ones who meant to find you.
Conservative Values
This is an interesting article for your information and perusal. Just to clear the air: I’m a MAGA conservative, but that DOES NOT mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let’s break it down, because I’m tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler: not every conservative is the same, but most friends I know share these same principles. I believe in common sense. 1. I believe America should never depend on another country for energy, protection, or basic supply and demand. 2. I believe America must put itself first. 3. I believe America should stay out of endless foreign conflicts. 4. I believe no foreign aid should be given until every veteran at home is taken care of. 5. I believe immigrants make America stronger — only when they come legally to the United States. 6. You can marry who you want. 7. I believe men are men and women are women. 8. I believe schools are for education, not indoctrination. 9. I believe America is in a mental health crisis. 10. I believe guns aren’t the problem - people are. Gun control only infringes on constitutional rights. I’m a conservative because I believe in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I don’t want a government that controls every aspect of our lives - I want a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends our freedoms, and then gets out of the way. We are strongest when Americans take care of America first, when families are supported, when our veterans are honored, and when our children are given truth, not propaganda. I love this country, and I believe it’s worth fighting for. GOD BLESS the USA!!!!!!!!
Love
From my experience, I believe men love woman differently than woman love men. Men require less emotional elements than a woman and, therefore, have a more straight forward and factual definition of love. Men show their love differently than woman. Many times woman don't feel loved when, in fact, they are loved very much. This is due to the way men love woman. Because of these differences, marriage can be difficult and require a lot of work to make it a successful marriage. Please let me know your thoughts and opinions on this difficult subject.
