Cartier Love bracelet

“Unlike traditional bracelets, which are either wide enough to slip them over the hand onto the wrist or can readily be opened in order to put them on, the Love bracelet is designed to be opened only using a special screwdriver that is supplied with every bracelet. The screwdriver is also available in the form of a necklace, allowing the bracelet to be "locked” onto one person while the “key” is kept around the neck of another as a symbol for their commitment to their relationship.“

You are:

The standards you uphold

The boundaries you enforce

The habits you repeat

The thoughts you entertain

The energy you allow

The risks you take

The way you speak to yourself

The love you accept

The beliefs you challenge

The discipline you maintain

The company you keep

Choose wisely

So many are afraid of being rejected by others. Being rejected has happened to everyone. But this does not mean that you are lacking in some way if it has happened to you. If someone rejects you, they are acting out their own identity, whatever it is and they are revealing their own choices, their own needs. It has nothing to do with you. The important thing is that you act, that you express and reveal your self. Dare to assert your qualities of being. Dare to BE your self. This self expression of yours just take place or you will be restricting your use of life, you will be denying and thwarting the action of your self. When you are self aware, you are not concerned with being rejected. Your only concern is with the givingness of God as you. The fear of rejection merely says that you are trying to take, trying to get, without having really given in the first place. Many people deny the gift that they have to give because they fear it will not be accepted and then they may be humiliated. If others must agree with you for you to be happy, you will live a life of loneliness and frustration. Be self aware by releasing the reactions of others. Instead, put your full attention upon the presence of your total self and the expression of it. Let your only concern be for your eternal self-awareness and the expression of it. Surrender your desire to have others agree with you. They cannot. And they will not. They can only be themselves. Get busy with being YOUR self, the uniqueness that God is as you. Give it out. And do not look for a reward, even though it will be there. As you do this, the rewards come in great numbers and they do not seem like such miracles because they are natural outcome of what you are giving. They are true rewards, then, because they have no strings attached.

according to jeremiah 29:11, God says that he knows the plans he has for us. he says that he has plans to prosper us and not harm us. so if that relationship isn't working out, it's okay. if that job isn't right for you, it's okay. if that friendship ends, it's okay. because me personally, i’ve never seen God remove something from my life without replacing it with something better.
