Love does not hurt. It should never have to hurt. I heard this from Oprah, in that episode where they discussed what happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna. The infamous hitting incident between the two R&B superstars have been discussed thoroughly in different shows, mostly inviting experts to comment on it, analyze what really happened.

Personally, I think that both Chris Brown and Rihanna should be counseled about what happened. It is being reported that the two are back together again. What does this situation teach young people out there? That it’s okay to get back to the person who hit you? To forgive, yes. Forgiving the person who has done you wrong is good. But to actually go back to him, welcome him with open arms after almost killing you…

Remember this always… love doesn’t have to hurt. Ever!

“My philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”

As I have always said in the past, every thing in our lives is a consequence of choices that we make. We can choose to be happy or sad, angry or calm. We always make a choice in how we react to a given situation. And because we are the ones making the decision, it is but natural that we are the ones responsible for it.

Choose to be happy. Choose to be responsible for your life. It’s hard sometimes but we can still choose to be positive in some other way.
