Experience is the Best Teacher coupled with Burning to Learn

You may have heard that EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER and that you have to burn to learn. Throughout life's journey, there would be many lessons to be learn, whether you recognise the lessons and understand and interpret them accurately is solely up to you. But I say to you, you do not have to burn to learn. You can learn from other people's situations and circumstances. You do not have to go through it, to learn from it.

It's like seeing someone being burnt badly after having their hand held over open flame. You have seen the results of such an action. Why the hell would you want to experience it. Isn't seeing enough a reason for you to want to avoid the same fate? Be wise people. Wake up and smell the coffee.

I am not saying that you would not have your own mistakes to make but why not avoid some by learning from others? Why not keep that  mistake level to a minimum? I know that COMMON SENSE is not that common but for those of you that are fortunate to possess such a trait why not exercise it?

It can be argued that in some instances first hand experiences are better than second hand. These are the experience like going through puberty that cannot be avoided. These are good. You can learn from others that may have gone through it before but only through experience would you be able to fully grasp what actually happens to your body. In this case experience is the best teacher.

I am going to say to you, if burn to learn you must then burn with a purpose. Learn from the fire and flames. Let the lessons guide you accordingly. Do not be a repeater of the burn to learn syndrome. Let experiences, both yours and others, be a great teacher. Let is be so great that you may not repeat your mistakes again. Let it be so great that you do not have to repeat somebody else's mistake.

Experience. Interpret. Understand. Learn.

Mixing Seasonal People With Lifetime Expectations

Seasonal people should never be confused and misinterpreted with lifetime expectations. Some people come into you life just for a SEASON. These people are not here to be in your life forever. Do not ever try to make seasonal people into LIFETIME EXPECTATIONS. Trust me that spells T-r-o-u-b-l-e. Yes Trouble with a capital T.

Seasonal people are like the leaves of a tree. When the season changes, they change. You need people who are like roots. You need people that are going to be there with you through THICK and THIN. But you need to be true to yourself. Ask yourself, is that man that I'm about to marry a LIFETIME EXPECTATION or someone you feel in love with during a SEASON. Girlfriend, if the answer is the latter, then run like hell because your marriage is not going to last. Forcing things that ought not to be does not in any way provide positive results nor does it give life to positive outcomes.

Do not get caught up trying to force relationships beyond its season. If the season has ended, let go of the relationship. It saves you tears and much needed SLEEP. If you do not, you would be so drained mentally, physically and emotionally. TRUST me I KNOW.

Embrace and appreciate Lifetime relationships. Lifetime people are the ones that stick and last beyond the season taking you through an entire lifetime. Lifetime people may teach you lifetime lessons. Pay close attention to your relationship. Know what type of relationship you have.

Lifetime Expecations are rare and hard to find. Thus, when you do hold fast to it, do not slip through your fingers like sand on the beach. I beseech you, do not go chasing and collecting rocks when there are DIAMONDS to be found. 

Remember that seasonal people may come into your life for a reason. Do not falt them for being SEASONAL. Appreciate them in the moment. But be ready to let go when the reason ceases to exist and the seaon has ended.

SEASONAL vs LIFETIME.

The Color Purple

Many of you may know that I  AB-So-Lute-Ly Love the color Purple.

It is said that purple stands for good judgment, or happiness.

After doing some research, I discovered that in the time of Christ, and much throughout history, the colour purple represented royalty and was worn by both men and women. It was worn almost exclusively by members of royal families and leaders of powerful empires. In some cultures it would have been punishable by death for someone "not of the blood of royalty" to wear the colour purple. Purple is and was associated with ROYALTY.

It is understandable that purple represents royalty, if one thinks how purple is a mix of red and blue, that is a mix of female and male energies. Mixing female and male energies grants the power of creation which is an attribute of God, thus of kings whom are God's representatives. Also, the complementary colour of purple would be a goldish yellow which is the colour of the sun. Just look at some purple for 30 seconds then look at a white surface and you should see some gold. Besides, purple is usually associated with spirit.
 

I also found that Purple was a sign of:

• Wealth, because purple dye was VERY expensive
• Leadership, because that was the way the government reconized people as important. This was mainly with senators.
• Trustworthiness, because purple was basically a campaign sign or flag.

Now, i most say that I knew about it being associated with Royalty and Wealth but as a sign of leadership and trustworthiness i had not the slightest idea.
