Loyalty

Loyalty is a strong support for a person, society, organization, or cause. Being loyal tends to mean that you aren't just supportive, but that you are also willing to make sure that what you are supporting is a success or continues to flourish. Loyalty is another thing that you may come across in life that could possibly peak your intrest. Having someone that is loyal to you or what you believe in can give you a good boost in confidence and can make what you are trying to accomplish that much easier. True loyalty is consistent and unquestioned. Whether you are experiencing wonderful days or your darkest hours, whoever is truly loyal will remain so. Loyalty is closely related to respect in terms of supporting someone or something based on how it is presented and what its about. But, just like respect, because you are loyal to someone doesn't necessarily mean they will be loyal to you. When the moment comes where you have to make a choice on whether or not to show your support, take the bigger picture into consideration. What would come from your support, how would it affect other people, and would you stand by your decision no matter the conditions? If you are without any doubt of showing loyalty then you should show support. Always remember, loyalty is through thick and thin.

Temptation

Many people along with myself have fallen victim to temptation. The idea of finding pleasure in something at first but later regreting that it even took place to begin with. Temptations may vary from person to person so managing them can be tricky. Where one may succumb to a tempting treat that isnt necessiarily healthy after a meal, another may not be able to resist a risky oportunity that could potentially bring them closer to their dreams. It would be wise to be honest with your weaknesses when dealing with temptations because this is what it thrives off of. The lack of control to resist instant satisfaction of certain aspects of life could be the "kryptonite" of a person who is impatient and/or overly optimistic for a positive outcome. You really have to look at tempting moments for what they are and what they could do to you if you wish to indulge in them. The saying "good things come to people who wait" is perfect for this topic. Just because a moment may present itself as something amazing upfront is enough for you to miss a great downfall waiting for you around the corner. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to feel good, but when the negatives outweigh the positives you probably should look for pleasure elseware (it will more than likely benefit you down the road). All in all, if your in a predicament where you cant decide whether to give in to temptation or not. Just ask yourself one question. "Am I going to regret this later"?
