I Have To Repost This. Since I'm Also Practicing This As Well.

I have to repost this. Since I'm also practicing this as well.

Learn to Say Less Than Needed.

The less you speak, and the more conviction, authority, and calculation your words have when you do increases the value of what you have to say and your outer persona. The more you speak, the less your words are valued and the more you make yourself vulnerable to others.

This is something I'm practicing. Every thought that comes across our heads is not supposed to be vocalized. We should be curating what we say carefully and be strategic with our words. The power of life and death lies on the tongue, and a well-trained and sharp tongue can be a powerful weapon when utilized correctly.

From now on, every time I feel like oversharing, giving an opinion on a controversial subject, or about someone directly, I assess the situation and how my speaking my thoughts can affect my proximity to whatever I'm trying to achieve. It's all about being strategic.

Unfortunately, it's easy to give up to reckless speaking when everyone else seems to be doing just that - especially on social media. It's good to take a deep breath before doing the same thing as others, after all, more often than not we are not trying to emulate the ways of the common folk.

A quick night out to my local haunted attraction. To check them out for the first time. This weekend is their "halfway to Halloween" event. So I just wanted to stick my head in and check out the decorations. (I'M a nerd like that. I use haunted attractions decor and theme to eventually decorate my own house in something similar 😊😁😁)

Diary entry #3 complete

Yesness

Marry a man who wants to be a husband, not a man who just wants a wife. Read that again.

A man who WANTS to be a husband is a man who’s willing to provide, protect, & fulfill your rights. He is READY to do whatever he can to make things work. A man who JUST wants a wife is a man who's only thinking about what YOU can do for him, & not what HE needs to do for YOU.

This definitely hits home for me.

The color of my soul is a shade no one seems to like.

That part. And I'm mad at myself that I am like this

My ex boyfriend simply didn't understand
