Madea is one of my all time favorite characters with some of the most awesome advice

here are some quotes

'"If somebody wants to walk out of your life, let - them - go!"

"Some people are meant to come into your life for a lifetime, some for only a season and you got to know which is which. And you're always messing up when you mix those seasonal people up with lifetime expectations.'


Did you know: “Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.”

(this one is from tyler perry) 'The 80/20 rule is quite simple. The person you are with only gives you 80% of what you need. Along comes somebody offering the 20% you're not getting, and it looks really tempting. You could take that extra 20%, but in the long run you'll lose that 80%, then you're stuck with just that 20%. '


"If you don't know how to be by yourself, what are you going to do with somebody else?"


"It's doesn't matter what people call you, it only matters what you answer to".

those are some nice thoughts

people who have come into my life in the past - it has always been for a lifetime - even if we don;t see each other for years -

I have never had any "seasonal" people until coming on here

it's the one weakness of this venue for making freinds

I do not remove people from my life but I will let them walk out of it if they want to

I have never seen a place like this before with the cowardice I have witnessed where someone will vanish before they'd have the courage to talk, admit they are wrong, or whatever it takes to continue their ties. very odd

but then I guess I lived a sheltered life

wise words indeed

with this one.. "If you don't know how to be by yourself, what are you going to do with somebody else?"

I've heard it said.."if ya don't like your own company, how can you
expect anyone else to??"

I like that POV also

being by yourself is a good insight but sometimes I spend so much time alone that I wonder if how well I tolerate being with others for more than a few hours outside of work

I may like my own company a little too well

I've never seen the Pareto Principle used this way....
