WHAT DID OPRAH SAY?

"If a man wants u, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want u, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses 4 a man & his behaviour.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save u from heartache.
Stop trying 2 change yourself 4 a relationship that's not meant 2 be.
Slower is better.
Never live ur life 4 a man be4 u find what makes u truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating u, as u deserve then heck no, u can't "be friends".
A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle.
If u feel like he is stringing u along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because u think, "it will get better."
U'll be mad at urself a year later 4 staying when things are not better.
The only person u can control in a relationship is u.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.
He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat u any differently?
Always have ur own set of friends separate from his.
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats u.
If something bothers u, SPEAK UP.
Never let a man know everything.*
He will use it against u later.
U cannot change a man's behaviour.*
Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than u are...
even if he has more education or in a better job.
Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who u are.
Never borrow some1 else's man.
If he cheated with u, he'll cheat on u.
A man will only treat u the way u ALLOW him to treat u.
All men are NOT DOGS.
U should not be the 1 doing all the bending...
compromise is 2 way street.
U need time 2 heal between relationships...
There is nothing cute about baggage...
Deal with ur issues be4 pursuing a new relationship
U should never look 4 some1 2 COMPLETE u...
A relationship consists of 2 WHOLE individuals...
Look 4 some1 complimentary...
not supplementary.
Dating is fun...
even if he doesn't turn out 2 be Mr. Right.
Make him miss u sometimes...
when men always know where u are, & u're always readily available 2 him - he takes it 4 granted.
Never move in2 his mother's house.
Never co-sign 4 a man.
Don't fully commit 2 a man who doesn't give u everything that u need.*
Keep him in ur radar but get 2 know others.
Share this with other women & men (just so they know)...
U'll make some1 smile, another rethink her choices & another woman prepare.
They say it takes a minute 2 find a special person, an hour 2 appreciate them, a day 2 love them & an entire lifetime 2 4get them."

"Our lives can change with
every breath we take."

"Saying goodbye is difficult
Sometimes things happen suddenly,
quicker than planned
leaving no time to whisper farewell.
Perhaps we should say goodbye
more often & with greater resolve-
through each tenderkiss, each heartfelt embrace,
each declaration of our love.
Then, should the unexpected happen, there will be no regrets,
no grieving over words unspoken,
no moments, but those of joy & happiness,
the eternal blessing of LOVE."

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross "I believe that we are solely responsible 4 our choices, & we have 2 accept the consequences of every deed, word, & thought throughout our lifetime."

APPLES
Women are like apples on trees.

The best 1's are at the top of the tree.

The men don..t want 2 reach 4 the good 1's because they are afraid of falling & getting hurt.

Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren..t as good, but easy.

So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, THEY..RE amazing.

They just have 2 wait for the right man 2 come along, the 1 who..s brave enough 2 climb all the way 2 the top of the tree.
