Everything in Life Is Not What It Seems

You could be settling for an imitation.

Do not settle.

Do not settle for anything in your life. Just because it comes your way doesn't mean you must just take it. So many people have become so desperate in life that they just settle with anything that comes their way. They feel as if time is running out on them so they get comfortable with things that they never wanted in the first place. They chose to take the easy way because they are tired of going down that rocky path in life where things are unclear.

The time that you have to spend waiting is unclearly. What you may have asked for could come today or it very well could come three years from now. No one likes to wait. We are living in the microwave generation, where they want fast results. They want everything to happen right away and if they don't get the results that they are looking for then they just stop trying.

If your praying for a husband or wife then you need to be patient and wait for the right person to come along. Just because someone comes along and tells you that you are pretty or that you are such a nice person it doesn’t mean that they are the one. Lift those standards and don't you dare settle just because you are desperate. The person can work their butt off and have 50 different jobs but that doesn't make them the one. The person can be pretty like money but that doesn't make them the one. The person may be going to school studying but that doesn't make them the one. That person can have the best credit in the world but that doesn't make them the one.

You have to have standards. You need to test out the water before you jump in because not everything in life is how it seems. All that glitters is not gold.

You don’t know why that person works 50 different jobs. Just because they have a lot of money to spend and they seem like they are always busy why are you making that flatter you. You need to make your own money and know what you bring to the table and not just look at what someone else brings to the table. They can work 50 different jobs and not one of those 50 jobs can make one. They could be stretching themselves out too thin and not accomplishing anything for it. It's not the quantity, it is the quality.

The person can be pretty like money. Always put together well from their head to their toes. Not one piece of hair on their head out of line. Wearing name brand clothes and the latest of styles that come out. That doesn't make them a good person. They could be the best looking person in the world but yet their heart is wicked. Just because you see a good looking person pass you by looking good from head to toe doesn't mean a thing. Some people see a woman on the road with their hair done, nails done and dressed in the latest brands and are immediately ready to holler at her; while the woman who just walked past you in those track pants and her hair not done you wanted to ignore. Not knowing that the woman dressed to impress is just a empty shell and doesn't contain much. She doesn't have a good heart and all she wants is a man with money so that she can use them. Her look has to be maintained constantly because she is very vain, so if you can't maintain it for her she is not interested in you. While that woman in her track pants and her hair not done may look like a mess but she has her life together. She is working towards her goals. She just paid some bills and took care of the necessities in life so she really didn’t have the money this week to get her hair or nails done. The one who looks like she has it all together is really the one who is a mess; while the one who looks like a mess has it all together. Things are never what it seems but you wouldn't know that because of desperation we let our eyes fool us.

A person can have the best credit in life but that doesn't make them a good person. The person who has the bad credit or the struggling to come back together credit maybe the real keeper.

Life is not always what it seems. Don't judge me because I'm not perfect.

Don't be so desperate in life to have your life all sorted out that you settle for things in life that you shouldn't have. Raise your standards and don't lower it. Test out anything that comes your way. The things in life that really matter can not be seen by the natural eyes. It is the inner beauty that really counts. Do your research before you jump into that job.

Take a closer look at things don't just settle.

Don't take an woman or man that someone else gives to you because they see you single. People may just give you trash. Wait for that person God has for you. Open your eyes to who God sends to you. They may not come in the package you wanted but they could be a real prize.

People look on the outwards appearance that is why your friends will send you a woman that looks pretty like money but it is the heart that really matters.

Take a moment and look into things deeper. Don't just jump at it. Don't settle for anything that comes your way for you could simply miss out on something special that is really meant for you.

Take your time be patient and don't be too anxious for anything.

The best things are already on it's way to you. You could very much miss your diamond just because it is covered in all that mess.

Just because something looks good doesn't always mean that it is good. Just take a closer look.

What you could be looking for could be right in front of your eyes but it was disguised this whole time.

Things are never what they seem. It may look like gold but it could very much be a copy.

You may have a woman in your life you may overlook because she isn't as fancy as the other women out there. However, she may very much be the real prize. While the other women your looking at could very much be an imitation.

Same thing goes for you women as well, the man you maybe looking for could be right in front of your eyes but you don't see he because he doesn't look like anything you wanted. It's not about what you see but instead it has everything to do with what you don't see.

You could very much settle for a copy or an imitation if your not careful.
