Success

Bob Marley sang,"Dont gain the world and loose your soul." Somtimes in our quest for success, we do the unspeakable. But it is important to realize that all the material things in the world, money, cars, houses... none of it matters, because none of it truly makes you happy... its like a temporary high.. beacause on the way to the top its easy to hurt those important to you.. greed, jealousy, when put into action, can have the worst consequences.. it is always a wise idea to remember your roots and where you came from, because like the wise ones say, "the higher you climb, the harder you fall."

Regrets

Food for thought... I have come to realize that we are what we make oursleves to be...You either make the right decisions or you dont.. but its important to never regret those things that we cannot change.. I have always tried to reassure myself when things arent necessarily going as i planned that, regrets are mistakes that we dont learn from... and yes, it took me a while to discover this tid-bit... but it sure does help me through those tough times... I have often found myself wishing i can turn back time.. wishing that i had never met certain people, wishing that i had never done some things... but then it hits me, everything happens for a reason and i am meant to learn something from it...

Being Thankful

Sometimes when we have those moments of clarity in our lives, right there and then it hits us, whats important and whats not. Things that were once the centre of our world now seem trivial.. I look back at the years gone by in amazement... Age and experience in the "real" world changes an individual... for better or for worse.. I guess you can say, the bitter taste of loosing everything you held so dear, changes your perspective on life..but it is the sweetest feeling in the world, that realization, of what matters most and what you're willing to fight this war of life for...

The Aha!

Well la di da di da, that icky feeling we all know as LOVE.. When you feel as though you have found that dream that must come true... I say, be wise, never let your heart control your head... But first, analyze every possibility, is this thing called love worthy of your time and all the butterflies in your tummy? hmmm... if so, go for it and enjoy every ounce of it... On the flipside, if its not, say it like it is.. hand over my heart, i'll find my way!

The Here and Now

Sometimes when we're in the thick of things and all seems lost, its difficult to not question ourselves and what we did wrong..But I have only recently come to the realization that life can never be perfect.. Its the little mishaps and sad moments that make us the individuals that we are.. It is all supposed to be a learning experience..Hey, we all need something to look back on and think..hmmm, this was my "aha" moment! If not it is always good to find solace and remind ourselves that we are never given more than we can handle...

Alone

I have often wondered why I find peace being alone. Is self acceptance that has led to this inward content? I have yet to understand this... My constant apprehension to let people beyond this "invisible boundary" has always baffled those around me.. However, the fact remains that there are simply those individuals who find nothing wrong with silence... Simply less drama to deal with!

Hope

When all else fails, all that we have left is hope... The hope that gives us the courage to believe that what is meant to be will always find a way.. The hope that makes you wake up each day and drag yourself out of bed, even when you feel as though the world is upon your shoulders.. It is this HOPE that we should always be thankful for.. Nobody's life is perfect, but we sure as hell can hope to achieve perfection..."Hope is both the earliest and the most indispensible virtue inherent in the state of being alive. If life is to be sustained, hope must remain, even where confidence is wounded, trust impaired."

Today

Make each day better than the previous day so that you won't look back to the "old days" as the best. the best day should be today.. so enjoy every minute of it, live well and laugh plenty, because heartache sure as hell is not worth it...

To Write...

To write well is to think well, to feel well and to render well; it is to possess at once intellect, soul and taste... so when you write, pour your heart into it, because nothing cleanses the soul more, than words well written...

Staying true to myself

Be yourself, there is something that you can do better than any other. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Faith means understanding that everything will be okay in the end. If its not okay, its not the end. logic to live by!

Life..

If you're going through hell, keep going!!! My logic is, life isn't about finding yourself, its about creating yourself... hence, if we are to doubt something, we should doubt our limits... because the fact remains that we are never given more than we can handle...

Thoughts...

Thoughts are alive. They shape our world, our reality and our destiny. So to think positively is important, no small thing.... If you have the same thought often enough and send it with enough emotion (energy), it will in time take material form. Positive thoughts and affirmations at the start of the day, can literally make the difference between the day being good or bad for you...

Logical Thinking

The word failure puts forward a very simplistic way of thinking that allows for only 2 possibilities: failure or success. Few things in the Universe are black and white, yet much of our language reads as if they are. The word failure signifies a paradigm in which all subtelty is lost. When we regard something we have done, or ourselves as a failure, we lose our abitlity to see the truth, which is no doubt considerably more complex. In addition we hurt ourselves. So next time you feel like a failure, know that you are under the influence of an outmoded way of perceiving the world...
