What's IMPORTANT to me....

I really think its IMPORTANT to know what's IMPORTANT TO YOU! When something/someone is important, you'll stop at nothing to make sure you are incorporated into whats going on. If you don't have anything that's important going on in your life, then it may very well be meaningless. The following are things that are important to me & I'd love to here what's important to YOU:

• It is important that I'm on time for all functions/events and that the people that take part in them are on time as well. Being late is one pet peeve of mine, and I want to make sure I don't miss anything...lol.
• It is important to me that the "little ones" in my life (nephew, cousins, etc.) be respectful & well-mannered. I cannot stand to see small children be disrespectful and grow up before their time!
• It is important to me that I have s   p   a   c   e! Having space allows me to think better, gather my thoughts, and just get a peace of mind. Though I do like socializing "sometimes", lol, I also enjoy being alone & just doing me!
• It is important to me that I continue to be the kind, caring, & compassionate individual that I am. Though I personally want to curse some folks out sometimes, lol, I remain humble & continue to keep it real-yet relevant!
• It is important that I laugh even when I want to cry. I absolutely love to laugh at the silliest things, and if I don't laugh, then I basically have nothing to help me overcome those 'not so good' days :-)
• It is important to me that I am pleased with my wardrobe when I finally do "step out". I like to think that I look the bomb.com whether I get any compliments or not. It is important that you think you're all of that even when others do not tell you. You have to be your own cheerleader!
• It is important to me that those who desire me to be in their lives communicate with me. I consider myself to be a great communicator, and without it...we have nothing. I want to understand the person I am talking to and vice versa.
• It is important to me that my family is well taken care of. Because I care about them, seeing them smile & not wanting for anything comforts me because I know they are alright.
• It is important to me that people know they can confide in & look to me for help. When I have a trusting relationship with someone, it makes it all the better.
• It is important to me that I wear a great pair of earrings or at least just a pair of earrings everyday! I know it sounds weird, but I love fashion jewelry, especially earrings.....and it is vital that I have on some to feel great some days, lol.
• It is important to me that I get myself together now for my future husband. Just as I pray for him (and don't even know who he is, lol), I pray he is doing the same for me!
• It is important that I have a great relationship with those that mean the most. Whether it be on facebook or even in person, enjoying myself in my relationships makes me feel so much more secure.
• It is important to me that my food tastes right. When I have great food in front of me, I'm able to savor the flavors more, therefore enjoying what I probably just paid $20 for, lol!
• It is important that people understand me. I'm not a mean, inconsiderate, greedy, or ungrateful person. Though I do believe in staying to myself, I am actually a wonderful person that knows when and when not to be so serious. You just have to take the time to know me.
• It is important that I know what it is I want to do in life. Clarity & assurance are both two things I long for. When I have a made up mind of what I want to do, I can then imagine all of the possibilities on what to do to make it a reality....with God's help of course.
• It is important that I remain peaceful and seek peace in all that I do. I don't like mess, disorder, or confusion, so being in a comfortable, peaceful atmosphere and living that live is on the top of my priorities list.
• It is important that others think good of me. I do know that no matter what you do, people will always have their preferences and think what they want, but having a good reputation & doing what I can to live at peace with others and impact the lives of those I come into contact with is highly important.
• It is important to me that people realize just how good, powerful, merciful, and caring God is! I never try to "force" my religion or beliefs on anyone, but the God that IIIIIII serve is wonderful. I just want everyone I know *and those that I don't* to try him at least one time and see for themselves. He is awesome, and when I talk about him I passionately do so because I desire more of him & what he has to offer. He is the BEST thing that has ever happened to me, and for that I am thankful.

So as you can see, I have listed just a FEW, of many, things that are important to me! When things are important, you set certain standards and won't allow just no anything and everything to happen. In life, it is healthy to have some things that are important and not so important in order to find out what it is you like and don't like. Being an individual includes having things that are the most & least important to you. Its okay if what's important to me is not to you....that's what makes us different!

I in turn ask this question: WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU? Prayerfully, I'll have a part two, three, maybe even a part TEN to this....lol!
