2189836-d8cb2d8d023b0443.jpg別讓某人成為你生命中的優先，
當你只是他們生命中的一個選擇時。
人與人之間的關係只在彼此達到平衡時，
運作的最恰當。
Don't let someone become a priority in your life,
when you are just an option in their life...
Relationships work best when they are balanced.

2129272-b28236b13473995a.jpgLet me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prays for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

2105139-66bd76865bca5289.jpgKnow the difference between pretending and pre-tending. Pretending about something desired may be pleasant, yet pretending is relatively powerless. In contrast, pre-tending is to 'pre-take care of', to actively embrace the perception, risk, effort and work of something desired before it happens. Also, in contrast to pretending, pre-tending attracts into motion the infinite resources of the Universe. I like the example of pre-tending a rose bush - as in watering and caring for a rose bush long before roses are visible. Are you pretending or pre-tending your goals and dreams?
