Avoiding Tempations Start With You

Falling in love is complicated feeling that stirs up your heart and mind, making uncontrollable sometimes. Yet, it doesn't mean that you will go along with the flow not considering the situation of the other party and yours, too.

Are you both elligible? Will you not break any homes if you pursue the person? Wouldn't there be innocents that would be just victims in the end?

Falling in love is sweet and ecstatic but it could also be dangerous if you fall in the wrong situation.

I'm not trying to be a love guru here or any thing, just sharing my thoughts about this girl which was shared to me by my Marites friends this morning. Since I'm a good Marites, I'll be sharing it here because that thought occupied my thoughts since this morning. Well, they wanted my opinion about it and I'm happy to let them hear it.

So, there is this girl who is single mom working as a promo girl of San Miguel and the guy is her Supervisor. She is in love with her Supervisor but her Supervisor is already married. One day, that Supervisor asked her out. It is quite tempting for her since she is in love but she didn't answer him yet. She asked us what to do instead since she really love the man but she knows that she will be entering a forbidden relationship if she would agree, but she still can't refuse.

My advice to her is quite simple. I have experienced that but I'm not in love with the guy. He asked me out though he is married. I immediately refused and never talked to him. Though hers might be more complicated than mine since she has feelings for the man, avoiding the temptation still starts with her.

The guy can't do anything if you refused their offer. You know that it would be a big mistake if you get tempted, then refuse. I think there isn't a scarcity of men in the world yet, right? Well, that means you can still find another man aside from him, a single man which haven't tied the knots between the law of the people and the law of God yet. If you firmly refused them, they can't do anything to you unless they will force you; then that would be another case.

Know your worth and value it. Will you just let yourself be degraded as a mistress and bear the sins? Will you just let yourself be undervalued and not being respected by such kind of guy? Why let it be, when you can be more than that? Why would you let yourself be just number 2 when you can find another single man and be his number 1? If you still value yourself even if a little, then do what's right even if it will hurt you the most.

Learn from your mistakes. As I said earlier, she is a single mom and the father isn't supporting because the guy has another family now. Why wouldn't she just focus on her child, eh? She already have made a mistake in the past. She should be careful now. Let's say, she agreed to date the married guy; then, what if their protection breaks? Another mistake, hmmm? In the end, children are the victims.

Temptations can't tempt you if you don't want to get tempted. Take me as an example. I'm just focused on my goal. I don't want to have a relationship for now, so I can't be distracted. It's not that I'm not flirting that's why I'm single for 2 years now. There are also guys who tried to approach me. I'm just the one who keeps on putting a wall to protect myself. Temptations are nothing, payaman first.

Feelings are just feelings, like people it also just come and go. If it appears, then it can fade, too. It starts with you on how you will navigate your path. Will you choose what's the right thing to do or you will follow your heart to the temptation? But if you choose what's right, though it will hurt your feelings, you can move on overtime and live with a clear conscience.

I said all those words to her. I don't know if she will take my words. It depends on her now. As a friend, I already have done my part. The rest is up to her. Sorry, for an article full of Maritessing. About that, do you agree with me?
