The human mind tells us way too many things to do. However, we still have a choice in deciding what to and what not to do. In this piece, we take a look at what one of our readers experienced today while driving out. He decided to share his experience because to him, "I feel we can actually avoid and or overcome some of the problems we cause in our relationships". Without much to say, below is his story:
"Hi Dove's Heart! I must sincerely thank you for your write-up on faithfulness and consciousness [the title actually reads Can You Be Faithful Without Being Conscious?]. It was a turn-around in my life. So let me quickly share this experience with you. One of the problems savaging our relationships today, is actually something we've been neglecting, something practical; it's happening everywhere and I just had one today. Do you consider yourself very beautiful, handsome, or rich? What do you do with this 'asset' of yours - to flirt more, or to rather be more faithful?
- That glory should first go to God (that's if you believe in God as your maker) - that's appreciation and humility;
- then the glory should go to you - that's good pride, recognition of self worth and self confidence;
- then the glory should go to your partner - that's value, respect, love and faithfulness! I must say, nothing gives your partner as much confidence as them knowing all of you belongs to them. I was driving to school today. On my way back I saw a lady standing with a guy (which I presumed they're partners), an old woman and a couple of elderly women were also standing there. They're waiting for a taxi or a bus, but none seemed to be any close. So I decided to give them a ride. However, when I stopped to help them, only the young lady and the oldest woman there entered my car. The lady sat with me in front, while the granny sat at the back. They thanked me and I moved. No one talked to no one. After like five minutes drive, the woman alighted, remaining the lady and I in the car. Immediately my consciousness began going wild. I knew a guy and a girl in one lonely place meant something nasty.
First of all, why did that guy allow the girl to enter my car, knowing very well I'm a young guy like him and could snatch the lady? Two, what might be going through this lady's mind now as she's sitting in my car - would she expect me to ask her out or something? I quickly remembered my own girl (although she cheated on me). Should I pay her back? Should I overcome this? What if my girl is still cheating on me where she is? Too many things came to my mind. We drove for up to 15 minutes and we didn't talk. She brought out her phone, kept pressing it and looking at me. As a sharp guy, I pretended I never knew what she was up to. She just needed me to ask for her number or give her mine. She couldn't be any restless! I knew all that was coming.

When it was close to where she wanted to stop, she told me quite in time. That didn't make me rush and ask her for anything. I just kept quiet and stopped where she asked me to. She opened the door, went down slowly and you could read her mind like: 'is this guy not going to say something?' I looked at her as she closed my door. We stared at each other and I zoomed off laughing. From the mirrors I discovered she was still looking at me even when I had gone far on the road. She least expected a handsome guy could meet a beautiful girl like her but nothing happened.
Now, I'm not trying to be proud, but I'm handsome and I have got more than enough compliments on that. But really? Did she expect me to give her my number, or ask her for hers, simply because I'm handsome, or simply because I drove a car? Rubbish! I can't do that nonsense! My handsomeness I have kept it as a pride for my girl to enjoy (hmmmm....sad she cheated on me). Truly, I felt stupid for keeping that pride for a cheating girl of mine. Sometimes I feel like leaving her for someone who's worthy of me (I just need a lady who can give me what I give me same level of faithfulness and sincerity I give to her; not liars). My experience today was spot on. So ladies and gents, keep that your 'asset' for your partner. No time! Dove, God bless the day I met your blog. You got me going really fast in developing myself.'
Now, I beg to remove this guy's name for privacy sake. But note that his experience's what I've always preached: personal development, faithfulness, sincerity, peace in your relationship. I can't understand why people feel they're too "hot" (rich, beautiful, or handsome) to be "dull" (faithful), so they have to flex while they live. Now that's pretty stupid! Personally, if I discover that someone out there is tripping for me, I would rather let you know the lucky person in my life who's enjoying my fine looks; not me allowing you to have access to me. I wasn't made for everyone! The richer or finer I look, the more happiness and assurance my spouse should have in me. That's my promise. You should give your partner that respect. Let them enjoy all you've got, and you enjoy all they've got; let people wish they were your partner. Guys, take pride in being faithful to your spouse! It's the new way of life you and I on Dove's Heart family are bringing to the world. Hallelujah!
