Evolution

Days of quiet pleasantries and warmth can be immediately taken away.
The moments we all spent saying the things we needed to say, transforming us into the individuals we have become.

The evolution of our hearts and the relationships that bind, change without notice.
Leaving things completely out of focus.

The strength you find in words, over come the short-term frustration.

The reality is dependent on the strength of the person communicating their truths.
The eventuality is depended on the power you find within yourself.
The acceptance of the pain you both feel becomes your combined experience.

The heart wants what the mind reminds you could be a falsehood.
A uncontrollable force will only lead your heart to what you deserve and truly is good.

Just say what you need to say, it will always set you free.

A reminder...

There are so many things that we want to understand in this world, but chose not to. The people in your life are a reflection of who you are and who you become. Often, we neglect to realize the importance of the slightest of functions they play on our lives.

We all have moments of utter weakness and great joy, which many of experience with those that mean the most to us.

Living life in this hectic and challenging time, we all experience moments where you think that you have reached the end and don’t know if you will ever be able to get through. You experience moments of joy, that weigh down on your heart…realizing the true feeling of happiness.

It is important to value each moment for what it is and the strength of the person that impacts you at that very second. Each moment will provide you with insight into the next, reminding you that you will never be alone.

Introduction of the closer

Women are interesting creatures. They are compassionate, loving, maternal, and more importantly beautiful works of art.

Women are also very analytical, leading many to contemplate issues or moments in time far more than the average human being. But it is that nature that has led many women to contemplate the closer in their life.

In baseball, the closer is the pitcher that is brought in, usually during the seventh or eighth inning to complete the game. The closer, with all of his energy has the power to change the game. If he keeps his focus intact, knowing the goal is to finish the game, with a flawless finish, he will be man of the night. But that isn’t always the case. There are often seconds within a game, where the closer can loose complete control. These moments leave him unfocused, leading him to make mistakes, loosing control of his team and the batter. In turn, leading to the loss of the game.

All women have a closer in their life, a man who chooses to enter her life at pivotal moment; perhaps, unknowing of his true importance. He too often plays the game, like the closer, ensuring that a woman in his life feels secure, as any pitcher does in a with his team. Giving her security, no matter what happens. He chooses, like the team’s coach does, how much time he will spend and how much time he devotes. Not giving her an opportunity to decide his fate of within the game or their eventual destiny.

His fears of losing the game entirely lead him to halt the game; he is saved, just like a closer is in a rainout, postponing the game. Compassionate, caring, and loving women that understand the issue of such a closer are few and far between. Those women unfortunately are never treated as such. Forced to pause and await the game to commence because of a forced rainout that never ceases.


These compassionate understanding women deserve compassion and understanding in return and shouldn’t have to respectively stand alone, in the middle of the field awaiting their closer. Their pain is never heard, never spoken, this is their voice.

The realities of your position

We all hold different positions in our lives, whether it is at work, at home, or in your social circle. But it the power of those positions that confuse many people, or lead others to figure out how they can use it to their advantage.

Each of us have individuals in their life who enact in such behavior. Now I am not going to say that we all don’t engage in it. I am a big proponent of networking and maintaining those networks for rainy day. But with that said, witnessing the misuse of the network or individuals you call you friends is appalling. It seems to be a regular trend; unfortunately, those beginning taken advantage often don’t have much of a recourse.

You can’t change who you are or your personality which has developed allowing you to connect with others. You can’t change your friends, the individuals that they have become, because they just haven’t gained a certain skill set.

A useful understanding: “The quality of an individual is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.” - Ray Kroc (1902 - 1984).

Realize that it isn’t your fault; all you can do is try to help. But know your limits, often it can be frustrating. Realize that the internal monologue of others is on one track, and is incapable of jumping on to others. Know that you can’t establish the function of any relationship, that isn’t your decision.

You have two options:

  • Decide to exist in the relationship, knowing that not everyone is capable or willing to understand the things that are important to you, but choose only to focus on themselves.
  • Decide to terminate the relationship or parts of it so that you can continue with it knowing that it won’t be like the others.

The reality of the position you hold on this earth, often isn’t your choosing. More often, you are chosen to play a role that others may not understand. Embrace who you are, what you are capable of and who you will be ….eventually. Be grateful that you appreciated for your abilities, but don’t lose sight of the motivations can exist.


A reality: “Enlightenment doesn't occur from sitting around visualizing images of light, but from integrating the darker aspects of the self into the conscious personality.” - Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
