WHAT YOUR OUTFIT COLOR SAYS ABOUT YOU?

It takes about seven seconds to make a strong first impression. And approximately 50% of that first impression is visual i.e. what you’re wearing and your appearance. Color plays a huge part in that first seven seconds. Do you know what color says about you?


Red is aggressive. It shows power and that the wearer is confident and wants to grab the crowd’s attention. It is also the most memorable color. Studies have shown that it is also considered the most seductive color.

Black
connotes authority, competence and sophistication. However, it can be too overwhelming if worn from head to toe.

Purple is your color of choice if you want to portray sophistication and prosperity. It also helps to channel your creativity and spiritual awareness.

Orange shouts fun! This is a color that will make you seem approachable, bubbly but the down side is you won’t be taken seriously

Blue calms and focuses those around you and also gives the impression of efficiency. It is always a safe color to go with as most people have a positive reaction to blue.

White traditionally means purity or virtue and cleanliness. It can also communicate high social status. Always make sure your white is spotless.

Green is the color of nature, fertility and by extension prosperity. Being in the center of the color wheel it creates an atmosphere of balance and restoration.

Yellow is a pick-me-up. Wear a warm tone to give yourself and the people around you a mood boost any day. It communicates happiness and optimism.

Now you know which color best suits your message. And sometimes you need only a small dose in accessories or lip color to send that message.

I'll always be there for anyone who needs me


I’ll always be there for anyone who needs me, I’ll always be a helping hand or a listening ear. Because I know what no one cares. I know what it’s like to feel alone, suffocated in your own thoughts. I know how just one person can change someone’s life. I’m here for anyone that needs me, just to prove that compassion still exists. I ‘m here for you.

“I was lonely. I felt it deeply and permanently, that this state of being on my own might never disappear. But I welcomed the lonliness, which had everything to do with being anonymous. It's never lonliness that nibbles away at a person's insides, but not having room inside themselves to be comfortably alone.”

Everything in life is temporary.


Everything in life is temporary. So if things are going good, enjoy it because it won't last forever. And if things are going bad, don't worry. It can't last forever either.

You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. - Albert Camus


Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. - Lao Tzu

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time. - Miguel Angel Ruiz

No one is perfect


No one in this world is pure and perfect ... if you avoid people for their little mistakes, you will always be alone. So judge less and love more!

No one is perfect and everyone is different, but everyone one is beautiful in their own way and that's what makes us special.

No matter how badly people treat you


No matter how badly people treat you, never drop down to their level. Just know you've better and walk away.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. - Og Mandino

Racism springs from the lie that certain human beings are less than fully human. It's a self-centered falsehood that corrupts our minds into believing we are right to treat others as we would not want to be treated. - Alveda King

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife. - Barbara de Angelis

8 TYPES OF FRIENDS YOU NEED TO HAVE IN YOUR LIFE


Did you know that people without friends are more likely to die an early death?

It’s true. Just ask science.

To up your chances of living a long, happy life, having a bunch of fair-weather buddies won’t do the trick. You need a diverse, well-rounded entourage that will stick with you through thick and thin. The following eight types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.

1. A LOYAL BEST FRIEND

Sometimes a loyal best friend is the only thing you need to stay sane. Everyone needs a non-judgmental friend who will support them no matter what. This is the kind of friend who lets you be a hot mess and knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.

2. A FEARLESS ADVENTURER

We live in a big world where there are so many places to see, people to meet, and experiences to be had, yet so many of us are stuck in our own routines and forget to, well, live. We all need an adventurous friend who will pull us out of our shells and introduce us to new ideas, cultures, philosophies, and activities.

When your times is GOOD


When your times is GOOD than your mistakes are taken as a jokes… but When your time is BAD, then even your jokes are noticed as mistakes….

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. - Ann Landers

Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss. - Ralph Waldo Emerson


My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what's keeping my head above the water. - Kelly Clarkson

I think what it takes to succeed remains the same. You have to have a real love of your sport to carry you through all the bad times, you still want to go ski even when things aren't working. You must have a commitment to work hard and to never give up. - Nancy Greene

True friends never part


A strong friendship doesn’t need daily conversation or being together. As long as the relationship lives in the heart, true friends never part.

Fall in Love



Fall in love with someone who wants you, who waits for you. Who understands you even in the madness; someone who helps you, and guides you, someone who is your support, your hope. Fall in love with someone who talks with you after a fight. Fall in love with someone who misses you and wants to be with you. Do not fall in love only with a body or with a face; or with the idea of being in love.

Why Women Cheat On Their Men.


As much as stereotypes say that men are the only ones who cheat in relationships, I say that women cheat as well. They are equally dangerous as men. 

Inadequate attention.

A woman may cheat in a relationship if she feels that her man does not give her enough attention because he has been too busy of late. She may feel that her man is too busy for her which results in him not calling or even sending a text message and reminding her from time to time that she is his woman.

An opportunity presents itself.

The truth of the matter is that most women do not consider the feelings of other ladies. They actually just do not care. When an opportunity presents itself, they will cheat.

Feeling inadequately appreciated.

When a woman gets an award, gets a promotion or makes some sort of achievement, the partner is expected to compliment and appreciate her work.

When she does not get the appreciation from the man which is one of the things she seeks from a relationship, she is bound to look for it somewhere else out of feelings of dissatisfaction, dissapointedness and stress.

Not feeling the relationship anymore

sometimes a woman feels that her relationship with her partner is ending or cannot be mended or corrected. At this point, she may be feeling some sort of emptiness and may result in looking for someone else to fill in the gap.

When love is not enough

A woman cheats not because she doesn’t love her man but because the love is not enough. When the love is not enough she might go for a guy who takes care of her and her needs that her man cannot afford.

The man comes into her life and introduces things that her man did not have or do. In the end she ends up being attracted more to the new guy because of what he is doing for her.

Revenge

At times, a woman cheats a man for the purpose of getting back at him for something he did in the past. For example, if the man was cheating in the past the woman may give him a taste of his own medicine in order to make him feel how it’s like not to care about your partners feelings.

Don't carry your mistakes


Don't carry your mistakes around with you instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones to rise above them.

If you want to be happy, you can't carry burdens from your past into your future, we all makes mistakes and we all have regrets, some people will learn from them, others will make them again, but life is a tough teacher and will always teach you the lessons you need to learn.

Don’t Be Afraid To Change. You May Lose Something Good But You May Gain Something Better.

Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.

A Beautiful Relationship ..


You don’t need be perfect to be in a beautiful relationship because there is no such thing as a perfect couple. But there are people who are made just for each other and they just click together because they complement each other beautifully. 

They may be poles apart in their personalities but they are still compatible. It’s not about being like minded but it’s about being consistent. The beauty of a relationship is that although you don’t agree on many things you still crave to be together. 

Despite all their fights on silly things they are so crazy about each other. They have different tastes for everything but they are so utterly passionate about each other. They are two different personalities but so in love with each other’s soul. .

Women Want Honesty In Relationships.


Every woman wants sincerity, honesty, truthfulness and transparency in her relationship with the man she loves so dearly. She will love him if he gives her his time and attention. She will love him a lot if he loves her and accepts her with all her flaws and imperfections. She will love him more and more if he is honest and sincere. She will love him more than anything if he is genuine and doesn’tfake or fabricate anything. She will love him more than her life and follow him to the ends of the world if he loves her to the core with all his heart and soul….

You can break down a woman temporarily


You can break down a woman temporarily but a real woman will always pick up the pieces, rebuild herself and come back even stronger than ever.

A real woman will never be impressed by wealth or riches because the unconditional love and affection she will give you for a lifetime is priceless.

A real woman is not impressed by chivalry, heroism or macho looks because she will support you all your life with her emotional strength.

A real woman just needs to be respected for her values and ethics and loved to the core …

A Real Woman NEVER really ask for much. And guys you DON'T have to give her diamonds or the whole world. All she truly desire is for you to NEVER give up on her & Just be there for her.

Top 5 Reason Why Women Reject Men


Some Men Keep Wondering Why Women Reject them, but for some reason I have to write Few Of the Reason that I know Might Be of Help to Most Men :

READ THIS:-

1. Badly Presentable.

First Impression Matters when your going on a date, bad presentation is a total turn of to women, hygiene Is more important, women want presentable and neat men not just any guy who wears anything, If your a smoker or a drunkard make sure you brush well cause bad smell is a total turn off to women.

2. Being Boring.

On dates women mostly listen and respond to what your talking about, pick an interesting topic to talk about don’t look boring cause she won’t like to have another date with you if your dull and you have nothing to say. If your so shy then prepare earlier before Going on a date.

3. Being Too Pushy and Nagging.

Sometimes you should know women don’t like being nagged or being pushed to do some things. You don’t know her past maybe she doesn’t want to go through same experience, so stepping over the line will make her keep away from you, If you want to win her Play by her rules, with time your turn for her to get used to you will come.

4. Don’t Exaggerate on somethings.

Relax when you want to focus on a woman, be yourself and don’t make up false and exaggerated stories cause women do notice then, they have sense and most of them can look at you and sense your lying to her. So be careful on what your telling her.

5. Lack Of Ambitions.

Women like men with ambition not men who Just play around not knowing where they are heading, having no objective in your life can be a turn off to the woman you want to date which leads to rejection in the end. Have ambition and direction and she will be close to you.

heart and soul.


At the end of the day, you will not remember the person with the beautiful face but you will remember the person with the most beautiful heart and soul.

they will find one reason to hold on.


The ones who love you will never leave you. Even if there are hundred reasons to give up, they will find one reason to hold on.

Life


In life, You'll realize that there is a purpose for everybody you meet. Some are there to test you. Some will use you. Some will teach you. And some will bring out the best in you.

Life is, in a lot of ways, just like a party.

You invite lots of people. Some will leave early, some stay up all night, some laugh at you, some laugh with you and some show up really late.

At the end, once the fun is over, some of them will stay to help you clean up the mess, even though they never made it, and it is those people who are the ones who truly matter, the ones you know you can count on.

These are your true friends.

Happiness :)


Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are, it solely relies on what you think.

Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness. - William E. Gladstone

Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits. - Thomas Jefferson


Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values. - Ayn Rand

Think hard before you walk away



Be mindful of what you throw away, be careful of what you push away and think hard before you walk away.


Before we decide best to find our center of calm and clarity where decisions are made clearly without emotion taking over.

Before you start to judge me,


Before you start to judge me, step into my shoes and walk the life I'm living, and if you get as far as I am, just maybe you will see how strong I really am.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. - Robert Louis Stevenson

A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. - John F. Kennedy

Be strong, believe in freedom and in God, love yourself, understand your sexuality, have a sense of humor, masturbate, don't judge people by their religion, color or sexual habits, love life and your family. - Madonna Ciccone


I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial, ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background or life experiences. - Sonia Sotomayor

Family is like music


Family is like music, some high notes, some low notes, but always a beautiful song.

The people who love you and support you for who you are, are family regardless of blood. - Dave Spedding 

Isn’t it sad that there are so many broken families? If that is your situation, there comes a time when you must rise above the pain and go forth doing what makes you most happy with people who sincerely care for you. Always keep an open heart for those that have hurt you, forgive them quickly and pray for them. - Gloria Gharib

Just because you’re related to people doesn’t mean they have to be in your life especially if they are toxic. - Mellisa Siender

Why care for those who ignore you when there are others who deserve your attention and love. - Cremhilda Tingabngab

I have disowned and been disowned by my true family in recent months, so I’ve been concentrating on loving and caring for my “other” family. It’s also true when they say “You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends”. I used to think that this was only true for natural families, but now I know it’s true for adopted or fostered families. - July Elfi

Never give up on your children. Sometimes you shouldn’t worry about the family who chose to ignore you no matter how many time you try to make them part of your life and they don’t reciprocate but when it comes to your kids, always worry about them and Never give up on them. I know they hurt us sometimes and it can be difficult but pray and hang in there.

Laughter is The Best Medicine


Many years ago, Norman Cousins was diagnosed as “terminally ill”. He was given six months to live. His chance for recovery was 1 in 500.

He could see the worry, depression and anger in his life contributed to, and perhaps helped cause, his disease. He wondered, “If illness can be caused by negativity, can wellness be created by positivity?”


He decided to make an experiment of himself. Laughter was one of the most positive activities he knew. He rented all the funny movies he could find – Keaton, Chaplin, Fields, the Marx Brothers. (This was before VCRs, so he had to rent the actual films.) He read funny stories. He asked his friends to call him whenever they said, heard or did something funny.

His pain was so great he could not sleep. Laughing for 10 solid minutes, he found, relieved the pain for several hours so he could sleep.

He fully recovered from his illness and lived another 20 happy, healthy and productive years. (His journey is detailed in his book, Anatomy of an Illness.) He credits visualization, the love of his family and friends, and laughter for his recovery.

Some people think laughter is a waste of time. It is a luxury, they say, a frivolity, something to indulge in only every so often.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Laughter is essential to our equilibrium, to our well-being, to our aliveness. If we’re not well, laughter helps us get well; if we are well, laughter helps us stay that way.

Since Cousins’ ground-breaking subjective work, scientific studies have shown that laughter has a curative effect on the body, the mind and the emotions.

So, if you like laughter, consider it sound medical advice to indulge in it as often as you can. If you don’t like laughter, then take your medicine – laugh anyway.

Use whatever makes you laugh –movies, sitcoms, Monty Python, records, books, New Yorker cartoons, jokes, friends.

Give yourself permission to laugh – long and loud and out loud – whenever anything strikes you as funny. The people around you may think you’re strange, but sooner or later they’ll join in even if they don’t know what you’re laughing about.

Some diseases may be contagious, but none is as contagious as the cure. . . laughter.
