Captivating

I'm reading a few books right now... one of which is Captivating by Stasi Eldredge.
Good book, even though I was hesitant to read it the past few years because I thought it was going to be super cheese ball. In reality, it's pretty dead on with the minds, emotions and the overall mystery of a women's soul.

Tonight's smack in the face:

"We (women) don't feel worthy of pursuit. So we hang a "do not disturb" sign on our personalities, send a "back off" message to the world. Or we desperately seek pursuit, losing all self-respect in an emotional and physical promiscuity. We don't feel that we are irreplaceable, so we try and make ourselves useful. We don't believe we are beautiful, so we work hard to be outwardly beautiful or we "let ourselves go" and hide behind a persona that has no allure. We try so hard, and in so many ways, to protect our hearts from further pain."

Ladies, read the book... there's much more and it's awesome!

Fellas, you might want to check it out as well... it will definitely help in the long run.
