Evolutionary Pschology

I am taking two classes at Saint Mary's University, one class is Religious Studies, the other one is Evolutionary Psychology.
It's funny how what we learn in life is later questioned and as we get older, we must learn to trust those closer to us to ensure that we stay on track.
Learning is important, but make sure to learn what you know you need to learn not just knowing it for the sake of it! There is a big difference. I am enjoying a lot right now but sometimes I wish I had kept reading. You learn so much from the different books you pick up, and I stress how important it is to educate yourself whether in a classroom or not. Just know your stuff and never be afraid to succeed!

Sometimes we let wrong in our life too many times, and often wrong leads us astray. I blogged earlier about choices and regret, and am slowly learning that not everything you encounter is good for you, and as Christian, things are harder because they look more appealing and attractive. You end up wanting more, when you deserve more but are getting less. I wont make this long, but I just want to point out that temptation is all around us, but what we must do is decide if it is worth it now, and after, because the one thing we need to remember, is that what may be good now, can cost us later, and if we have more to lose, is it worth it?

Think about it!!!!

HowDoYouDecide

When I was younger, I used to use my heart a lot to make choices. However, as I got older, using my heart made it difficult to keep friends because I was always "really nice" and stopped being rational about the types of friend I should have. I have always been the "nice type"but sometimes being too nice all the time does not get us very far, only hurt. So when I left high school I decided to use my head instead of my heart. I can only put my heart through so much...Not to be all sad and sappy, but its true, why put our hearts through so much if we know that they can really only handle so much? Now, I am realizing that using both your head and your heart is important because you need to ensure that whom you are friends with will both benefit and encourage and educate you, while using your head reminds you to be practical and honest to make sure the friendship stays what it should be. Right, strong, and faith based. If you pick a friend who will steer you the wrong way, enjoy getting back on track, it is not easy, but it is possible, but be prepared for some tears.

How do you decide who to be friends with? Do you use your heart, your head, or both?
What has worked better for you?

Discoveries Part 1:

So last yesterday I came across a few discoveries, most happened during church and after church. There was no sermon because of how long church went, and the pastor was kind enough to let us out early, but she left us with some words saying, are we for God, or are we against God? And she explained that if we are against God it means we are doing things our own way, instead of letting God help us. I have been trying to do things my own way for years, while still hanging on to God asking for help, but not fully letting go and saying to him, "Take the wheel" Reason I say this is because it is true. We cannot do anything on our own. Hard work takes the help of many, family, friends, community, professors etc. I know people who do not like being told how to breathe, speak to God, how to love, because they had their parents to do that for them. Nobody likes to be told what to do, but in life we have to learn to ask for help so we can be successful.
Just before I wrote this blog, My dashboard shows I am ten posts away from being at 100 posts. That is pretty awesome, and it shows how far I have come.
I have made other discoveries last night as well which might help you, and it might now, it's all how you see things in life. This is how I see things right now.
You want to have fun, but you know you have to represent wherever you go. You are a child of God, so you must act like a child of God. If you want to have fun, it means you have to think about who you hang with, where you go, and what you say to people. Having fun comes with limits and boundaries despite what the other person might say. Temptation is real, and it feels good at the time, but it will cost you in the future.
If you are not ready to settle down, than do not settle down, but do not mess around either. Be honest and true to who you are and let the people in your life know and understand where you come from.
Denial is not good, and it does not help you move forward it only holds you back.

So do you know where you come from? who you are?
Do you know your boundaries? Do you friends respect your limits?
If they don't, it means they do not care about you at all.
Be careful who you let in your life, they can either hurt you, or make it better
