Heart Knock Life

Cherie Carter-Scott once said, ~Remember, there are no mistakes, only lessons. Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible.~ Without a doubt, the mistakes made inevitably become life lessons to learn, especially when it pertains to matters of the heart. Thinking about it, the easy way isn't always the proverbial route taken to learn the unfortunate lesson after experiencing times of utter heartbreak. For it's a tough and oftentimes frustrating situation indeed learning the hard way the choices made concerning your own heart were in hindsight not healthy whatsoever personally, mentally, spiritually, and most definitely emotionally. However, the past is past and hopefully one's sad, painful lessons of love has led or is leading you to absolute true happiness.

If you think about it. one of the lessons you try to learn after being the dumpee whereby suffering a mixture of emotions is staying true to who you are once you get back into the dating scene. Women, more often than not, tend to do the self evaluation checklist in which they go over qualities that in their minds are apparently lacking leading them to believe something is totally wrong causing a warped mindset to set in all thanks to a past relationship. Unfortunately, while breaking themselves personally and mentally, there can certainly be a so-called storm of emotional turmoil within their own heart as they figure out whether to stay true to their unique individuality or be similar to every other woman out there. Let me tell you something ladies, just be you and nobody else because the unique, attractive qualities that make you who you are will shine forth for the right guy to take notice.

As a guy, there is a tendency to go with and trust the choices we make regarding the pursuit of the female species to the point where the following lesson is learned: what we think will happen to what actually happens. You see, when a particular female of interest is in our cross-hairs, in a manner of speaking, we will automatically act on our basic, primal hunting, gut instincts, which ends 99.9% being a big mistake as we say or do something absolutely foolish. Hey, every guy including myself has been there but fortunately it's a live and learn process where we take the lessons learned from past mistakes to eventually correctly handle a possible heart to heart connection by doing the total opposite of what we're planning to do/say. Essentially, the wisdom gained determines whether we receive an affectionate rather than a harsh blank stare in return.

Luke 18:26 says, ~And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.~ Let me ask you this question to those who learned the lesson that love/true is possible if you just put your faith and trust in the hands of God? True, there are times where our faith and trust in Him are lacking causing one to believe their happily ever after is a mere fairy tale; but you got to remember nothing is impossible when He is in control. It's a sad state of affairs for those who are unable to grasp that concept and rely on themselves rather than on high. What it primarily comes down to is fervently praying to the Lord Jesus Christ for spiritual guidance, having a deeper understanding when reading His biblical principles, and finally putting the love you have for the Lord first will show you how all things are possible when it involves the happiness you deserve for your own heart.

In retrospect, love always teaches us something new and even though it may be a harsh pill to swallow sometimes, the key lessons we take from it turn each one of us into better people because of it. Granted, one may not realize it because of the mixed combo of thoughts, feelings and emotions swirling around within not only your heart, but mind as well. The human heart is quite fascinating as it is considered a resilient muscle taking a tremendous beating, in a manner of speaking, time after time enduring all sorts of trauma such as being stabbed, knocked around, stomped on, etc. Ultimately, it keeps on beating despite all that it has been through emotionally. In the end, if I may tweak the title to one of Jay Z's popular songs when I say that we've all at some point or are experiencing right now a heart knock life; but with our family, best buds, gal pals, and God at our side we'll be just fine.
