People affect your life together with the ups and downs you experience along the way. When combined, they help to create who you are and who you become. Sometimes it seems that the brightest futures are based on a forgotten past. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, the bad experiences are oftentimes the most important ones. Without the little challenges, no matter what they are, life would be like a regular, straight, flat road going nowhere. It may be safe and comfortable, but boring and without purpose.
Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they were meant to be there. Be grateful for them ....

Respect

Respect is such a simple word, yet the meaning a bit complex. Respect in a basic form is to show someone that you understand their position, and you appreciate them. Never taking them for granted. Respect changes as a relationship changes. As two people become friends, it changes from a simple courtesy to a deeper feeling. As the relationship develops, it changes yet again. The submissive one uses this deep respect to form the trust she needs to submit to him. The two go hand in hand ... simply put, you can not trust someone you don't respect, and can not submit to someone you don't trust.
It's a trust that is based by his actions, his words, his stand on issues. It comes with his consistency and gentle authority. She respects his judgment in how to handle her, body and soul. It takes the deepest sense of respect to form the trust and bond that it takes to place your entire well being in his hands. Submissiveness does not mean you are any less than anyone else , you are still your whole self .
Respect goes so much beyond a "title". It is a feeling, knowing that this person is what they say they are, it can not be forced. It can not be hurried along, it must grow and develop at its own pace. Some may believe that respect and submitting is agreeing with everything and just giving in. I don't think so! It's more about respectfully presenting your own opinions. Giving respect doesn't mean you must always be agreeable but you must be understanding ....

Having Faith

Two people enter into a relationship where one will take the lead, and the other will follow ....
He is the stability she depends on. Her security. His doesn't lose sight of her as a woman with her own personality and opinions. He doesn't stifle her but encourages her ... He doesn't take away her freedom, he gives her the protected secure space to grow ... He cherishes the person inside her, drawing that inner personality out, to break through the inhibitions and fears that hold her back.
She uses her skills and natural talent to understand his mind, how he thinks, what motivates him and the spirit behind it. ... She has faith in his leadership, a faith not shaken by any imperfections. She knows he is always motivated out of concern for her. Someone must yield, and she will be the one.

One step at a time ...

Nothing is perfect. It is the work, effort and even sometimes the tears that bind two people together. There are many tests of faith, trust and belief. From within and outside any relationship. It's real ... it's hard. With care, communication and with effort, it certainly can be everything you ever dreamed of. You have to be patient, willing to talk, willing to take a step back when needed, be willing to bare your heart and soul. Face it head on and stay honest. All that matters is that you both want it to work and you both are willing to work at making it everything you've longed and searched for. Everything else can be worked on and dealt with.
You learn that negative feelings such as doubt, anger, envy and resentment have to be understood and redirected or they will smother the life out of you. Don't blame others for the sins of those who lived in your past. You have to admit when you are wrong and find ways to build bridges instead of walls. Take responsibility for yourself and make yourself a promise to not betray yourself and to never settle for less than your heart's desire. To keep trusting and to stay open to every wonderful possibility. There is nothing more wonderful than knowing who you are. Nothing like realizing all your unanswered questions and needs finally have purpose. You can make your life anything you wish, live it with absolutely no regrets. If you love someone tell them ... and mean it, you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
Learn a lesson in life with each new day. One step at a time ....

Your mind is smarter than your heart. You should follow your mind ... your heart will soon learn to love what your mind knows is right! The ultimate goal should be to have them both move in the same direction. But, it's okay if one takes a little longer to get there.
It's not about needing a compass as much as it is drawing out a map. A compass can get you steered in the right direction, but without the map, a lot of details end up getting missed.

Courage

To relinquish control to someone you trust you have to know yourself and trust yourself. Knowing he won't hurt you ever, will not break you, you feel safe and secure ... a shield. It feels liberating. No relationship will ever thrive without trust, unconditional trust. Communication is next on my list, open and honest. Without communication, it's easy to lose yourself, you can lose your voice and become less than who you are. To feel so connected to someone on that level is humbling.
Still learning each other, one day at a time. It isn't always perfect but nothing is ever perfect. In my world, I don't require perfection.
I feel courage again. Courage in my spirit that makes me the person that I am becoming ...

Expectations

Is it fair to ask someone to lower their standards just so you can meet their expectations? At the same time, is it fair to adjust your own when you are still trying to determine what they are? Why not compromise instead and take that leap together? Why does it have to be all or nothing?
I do know that both people have to have the desire to learn and grow. No one has all the answers ... especially when you haven't even figured out the questions! It's okay not to know everything there is to know about everything. When you trust and respect someone, you know that they have your best interest in mind first and foremost. Maybe it's worth trying ... even if a person is afraid. It shows a level of faith if you can overcome the fear .... trust your heart instead.
