“The things you feel are wrong with your life didn’t happen all of a sudden so don’t expect everything to change overnight. Change, too, is a gradual process. However the ‘decision’ to change and be happy is immediate.”

Reason of the Day: Change first happens in the mind. You must first accept that there are areas that need change in your life and determine in your mind that you are willing to do what it takes to make that change your new reality. The change and happiness you seek won’t come over night; just like the dysfunction didn’t happen overnight. However, the decision to make the change and be happy can and should be immediate. Make the decision right now.

Little Book Advice: In our book, You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give,” we advise our readers that you must acknowledge the dysfunction in your relationship and determine in your mind to change it. We ask are you willing to do whatever it takes to change the situation and grasp your happiness. If the answer is YES, you are well on your way to the love and relationship of your dreams. If your answer is NO, or many excuses follow, you are destined for heartache and unhappiness. Why live and love beneath you privilege.

By Tonja Wicks, Motivational Speaker, Life Coach, and Author of the best-selling book, “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give.”

The Author and new book, “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give” are being featured at the New York Book Expo new titles showcase on May 29-June 1, 2013.

Relationship Advice of the Day: “Things that are good for us we should keep close. Fear is not, so why let it get next to you?”

"Things that are good for us we should keep close. Fear is 
not, so why let it get next to you?" By Tonja Wicks 
Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and Best-selling Author of 
"You're the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women 
Don't Give."

Reason of the Day: We like to keep company with people who amuse us, encourage us,  entertain us, etc. These are all great things. They are usually our mates, family, friends, and acquaintances. These are the types of things and people that can catapult us to our rightful destinies and attain our dreams.

On the flip side, we also know that the greatest hindrance to success and happiness is “fear”- fear of failing, fear of success, fear of the unknown-and the list goes on. So, if the previous list of things and people are those we should keep close to us, why do we keep letting “fear” get “next” to us??? If we allow it in our space it will dominate. Only the things you let near you can bother you. So don’t let fear get next to you, instead act as if it’s not there and focus on the positive things in your life that encourage you and bring you joy.

Little Book Advice: In our book, You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give”, we encourage our readers to throw fear out and act as if it doesn’t exist. Once you quiet the voice of fear you begin to hear a louder voice of “I can”: I can love more, I can say a kind word to my mate first, I can initiate intimacy, and I can make that change in my life and relationship. Fear is not you friend.., Faith is…

The Author and new best-selling book You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give” are being featured at the New York Book Expo’s “new title showcase” on May 29-June 1, 2013 in New York City.

Relationship Advice of the Day: “Faith is not just hoping something happens; it’s believing it already has.” By Tonja Wicks

BOOKS AVAILABLE AT WWW.YOURETHEREASON.COM and WWW.SMASHWORDS.COM (EBook)

“Faith is not just hoping something happens; it’s believing it already has.” By Tonja Wicks Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and Best-selling Author of “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give.”

Reason of the Day: You have to first make up in your mind, soul and spirit that what you’re believing for is going to happen. You can just hope on some days and wish on others. You have to be determined in your heart to see that dream become a reality and come to fruition, no matter what the circumstances look like. Your belief in that “thing” has to be unwavering.

Little Book Advice: In our book, You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give,” we advise that if you’re waiting on that soul mate to show up, you have to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he or she is coming. We suggest visualizing the outcome of love that you desire and fixate on that. Negative thoughts will try to come in your mind to cast doubt, but you must fixate back on the vision of that soul mate, passion you desire to get back in your relationship, or new journey in life you want to embark on. Our thoughts become desires, our desires become hopes, our hopes become beliefs, and our unwavering beliefs can become manifested reality.

The Author and book, You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give” will be featured at the New York Book Expo “New Titles” Showcase May 29-June 1, 2013 in New York City.  

The authors were also was featured and conducted book discussion and signing at the Get Radical Women’s Conference at the Hyatt Hotel in Reston, VA March 22-24. Come out and join us at a future book discussion and book signing.

Relationship Book Blog Advice of the Day: “Don’t live life and love with caution; love with reckless abandon and live life with limitless possibilities” By Tonja Wicks Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and Best-selling Author of “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give.”

Youre the reason Final PNG

“Don’t live life and love with caution; love with reckless abandon and live life with limitless possibilities”

Reason of the Day: We are conditioned to be guarded and controlled over our emotions and dreams. In fact, this reservation to step out of the box actually is rooted in fear; fear if the unknown and fear of being alone. Sometimes when you do something different from the norm or your group of friends and family, it can leave you out there alone. But the joy and excitement that comes from acting on desires and dreams deep within will soon overshadow the fear and aloneness.

In fact, GOD and the Universe has a way of sending a new collection of people that think like you and pursue the unknown like you to anchor you and encourage you.

Little Book Advice: In our book You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give,” We advise that love is something that should be given freely. We don’t show love to our mates as often as we should or even think to because we get crippled by fear; the fear that it won’t be reciprocated, the fear of what our mate will say or not say, or the fear of doing something first. The key here is that it is all rooted in baseless fear. GET OVER IT! GET OVER YOURSELF! JUST DO IT! And see that the realities of love being returned from everywhere are endless.

In the book, we remind you that everyone loves to hear something loving or be shown loving affection. So, stop living and loving cautiously! Live and Love without worry or concern. Live and love the way your heart, not your mind, tells you to. Stop putting limits on your life. Take the limits off and love hard, live strong and be happy.

Relationship Book Blog Advice of the Day: “Age is just a number we count yearly; life is an experience you live daily. What are you counting?” By Tonja Wicks Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and Best-selling Author of “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give.”

“Age is just a number we count yearly; life is an experience you live daily. What are you counting?”

Reason of the Day: As I plan my great aunt pearl’s 100th birthday celebration, I realize that age is just a number we get hung up on in our younger years. When you get to be 100, and not all will be that blessed, and you’re in good mental and physical health, it’s the experiences you’ve lived through not the number of years that counts.

Aunt Pearl has some great memories. She often fixates on a select few of them because they brought joy and laughter. So, as my family and friends celebrate this wonderful woman at a 100th birthday dinner celebration in her honor tomorrow, April 13th, I will forever be reminded to count life’s experiences not age.

Pearlie wanted to celebrate at her favorite soul food restaurant in Inglewood, CA, M & M’s Mississippi Soul Food. Aunt Pearl is from MS and loves her chittlins, fried catfish and corn bread.

I pray longevity is in the genes.

Little Book Advice: In our book, You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give,” we advise that “It’s never too late to start something new.” Start living more, loving more, and start trusting more. Things can’t change if you don’t.

My Aunt just realized she likes bingo. Go figure… I thought all seasoned individuals liked bingo… If she can start something new at 100, you have no excuse.

By Tonja Wicks, Motivational Speaker, Life Coach, and Author of the best-selling book, “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give.”

The Author ‘s new book will be feature in the “new book release showcase” at the New York Book Expo, May 30-June 1. The author conducted book discussion and book signing at the Get Radical Women’s Conference at the Hyatt Hotel in Reston, VA March 22-24.

Relationship Book Blog Advice of the Day: “Don’t hold onto past memories rather let them flow thru your mind freely; if you hold onto your past you won’t be free to grab onto your future.” By Tonja Wicks Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and Best-selling Author of “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give.”

“Don’t hold onto past memories rather let them flow thru your mind freely; if you hold onto your past you won’t be free to grab onto your future.”

Reason of the Day: The past is full of positive and negative experiences. While the bad memories are ones we’d like to forget, however, every time we think on them we tend to relive the bad experience. Let it go!

We shouldn’t hold onto the good memories either. When we focus or get too attached to the past, good or bad, we tend to compare every new experience to them. Let memories come and go freely through your mind.

Little Book Advice: In our book, “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give,” we advise that just because an experience is not the same or a person isn’t like the last one you dated, it is not a bad thing. While there were probably good memories with an old mate or relationship, there was still something missing or not quite complete because you’re not with them or in that relationship anymore. Don’t hold onto the memory, hold out for your new future which could look and be very different than your past.

Even if you find your future looks similar to your past, it ain’t the same. No two moments or people are exactly alike. So, reach for that something “new” and hold into it!

Life is not a straight path so when it doesn't seem to be going your way, keep walking; life will eventually swerve back into your pathway if you don't give up."  

Reason of the Day: Life may not be perfect but it is still happening. If you continue to move forward each day and pursue the passions placed in you, eventually you will see progress. The thing you have to do is not give up.

Little Book Advice: In our book, You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give,” we advise that we may not be able to change another person or a circumstance, but if we take a look at self and identify any areas that can be enhanced with change, we can change our outlook. Small changes we make can make others examine their behavior and actions and want to change too.

Relationship Book Blog Advice of the Day: “In the end, success is not measured by the title you hold but by the lives you impact.” By Tonja Wicks Motivational Speaker, Life Coach and Best-selling Author of “You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give.”

“In the end, success is not measured by the title you hold but by the lives you impact.”

Reason of the Day: The ultimate goal here on earth should be to positively impact a life or the lives of many. It’s wonderful to be abundantly blessed financially,  but if you keep those riches to yourself and never seek to help others with your great fortune, you will never realize the true potential of your life’s purpose.

While money is one of society’s measurements of success, the way you spend your time is also a measurement. You do not need to have millions in the bank to impact and change a life. The time you spend with a child, the elderly, loved ones, or even conversation and assistance to strangers in need, defines success.

Little Book Advice: In our book, You’re the Reason Your Man Cheats: What Men Want and Women Don’t Give,” we advise that time spent with your mate can’t be replaced. It is imperative that we make time to be with the mate we chose. It’s in those shared moments that intimate dialogue and physical affection can result.

A happy and fulfilled relationship is another measurement of success. It takes commitment, dedication, understanding and compromise to achieve. And the impact you have on that life and the lives that may flow from that relationship will be seen by the world for generations to come.
