Sadness

Hello Everyone, I've decided to write this post about something that we all have to go through, it's something that none of us like. Sadness, Pain, something has happened to make us hurt inside, A lot. Such is life, something we have to face, If you are sad because something happened, you have every right to be upset, to have these feelings is completely normal, you are allowed to cry and let it out. There is nothing wrong with it.

All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue forever. It will seem this way, and these bad things most likely will be gigantic unavoidable roadblocks in your life. But think, if you overcome them, you will be a stronger and wiser person. Overcoming this will be a great accomplishment and you will feel better once you have conquered what has hurt you.

And when in doubt
Remember
This too will pass

And you will feel better, even if you feel the lowest of the low. If you've done something you regret, if you're in trouble or if something happened to you that just made you feel unbearably upset.
That is the worst kind, unlucky misfortunes. Things that happen just because life is unfair.
If something like this happened to you or someone you know, please please, give them your utmost support and condolences, I wouldn't wish this type of despair on anybody.
I know I like supporting people in need. But if there is nothing I can do, all I can say is that you should; Smile, even if it's a sad smile, because sadder than a sad smile is the sadness of not knowing how to smile.

And I know, it may feel that your heart has shattered into a million pieces, or you feel like something was ripped away from you, or you feel that you just want to curl up and die.
Nothing should ever happen to make you have feelings of death.

"Sad are only those who understand" - Arab Proverb

This is why I feel sad when people around me are. I understand and I feel the pain, its Empathy

If you feel lost, if you feel that you cannot cope, don't turn to dangerous things, like drugs or alcohol. Turn to those that love you, even if you know they cannot help, it's always a good feeling to know that you're loved.

I know that any of you reading this can turn to me. I want to tell you that I am here, and I will offer any support and comfort I can.
As Helen Keller once said "Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you sweeten an other's pain, life is not in vain."

Thank you for reading this :) We all have to deal with it, and there are a thousand ways to be happy, but it only takes one to get you to smile

In life just
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind. - Dr. Seuss

Value

Hello Everyone, I often find it very hard to find the true value of things. Especially the thing that supposed to be the most important to all of us... yourself. "Until you value yourself, you won't value time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it." - M. Scott Peck I myself have found it very difficult to appreciate the true value of my own abilities. Although I have confidence. True appreciation of value is needed. Many people I know often feel a sense of inadequacy because of things that others can do. They feel that they are of less value than others. I'm going to say that, that isn't true. Value is determined by one's appreciation of them self. This includes beauty, intelligence, anything. The true capabilities of what they can achieve. I know that all of you have remarkable abilities, and some of you haven't discovered them yet, and that's fine! You will, I know you will.



For you have appreciated beauty, appreciate it's true value, appreciate your true value. Value is; worth or importance: The worth, importance or usefulness of something to somebody. I'm positive that you are very important to yourself. But not just yourself, to many many others! to friends, family, pets, peers. You all matter to them. When you question your value you're letting down all of those who are special to you, they are there to help you and show you that you mean something to them.

as roman emperor and philosopher Marcus Arelius once said, "Different things delight different people. But it is my delight to keep the ruling faculty sound without turning away either from any man or form any of the things which happen to men, but looking at and receiving all with welcome eyes and using everything according to it's value"
According to it's value.
In my honest opinion everything is valuable, including you.
like I said, appreciate the value
of everything
of everything you see, hear, touch, taste, smell
from the tallest of mountains, to the smallest of butterflies
they have their purpose and their value
all of them shown in their natural beauty and importance
and when you learn to accept their true value
you will see
you will understand
that in the mysterious and great earth we live on
the simplest of people can connect with nature
and have experiences of bliss and joy when it is understood

Every Time a value is born, existence takes on a new meaning; every time one dies, some part of that meaning passes away.
Look inside yourself and you'll find a world of things a world of your own experiences worth writing about.
Your true value depends entirely on what you're compared with.
we are compared, we shouldn't be compared! We should be able to embrace the values we see
the importance of things.
We are still compared.
wouldn't it be nice if we understood how important each and every one of us truly is?
now my friends, lets try and make the world a better place, and but more thought and truly open our eyes to see the values of our earth and surroundings.
and don't forget to smile!

Beauty

Hello everyone, I came across a quote today whilst searching for something to write about, and I found one that really got to me, "Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it" - Confucius. I find this to be totally one hundred percent true. The dictionary defines beauty as; Pleasing and impressive qualities of something: the combination of qualities that make something pleasing and impressive to look at, listen to, touch, smell or taste. This obviously does not directly mean physical attraction. In fact physical attraction is only a small factor of what beauty truly is. Beauty is something that can be found in everyone and in everything. I know this for a fact. I dislike the fact that a lot of people are very self conscious about their image, it doesn't matter if you don't have a date or a boyfriend or girlfriend, it doesn't matter if the person you have feelings for, isn't mutual. It doesn't matter if you are overweight or skinny or pale or blond or short or whatever. It matters whats on the inside. Beauty is MORE than flesh.

Unfortunately that is not how society sees it. Society sees beauty as something that is only skin deep, people and not just that, but it is valued on the clothing they wear. How unfortunate it is when we see pictures of "beautiful" people in commercials and on billboards, on buses and on the Internet, in magazines and pretty much everywhere civilization is.

These people say that you aren't beautiful that you have to look this way. Well I'm here to say that they couldn't be more wrong. You are beautiful and the people that don't think that way are wrong. It's not just humanity's beauty that's beautiful, it's everything, from the intricate designs on a snowflake to white sandy beaches. The wonderful aspect of nature that we are blessed to have. Some people believe that this is a creation of God, others believe it is nature. This post is not about that. It's about how we should appreciate the beauty in not our fellow neighbour, but in our surroundings. In the animals, in the skies, in the forests and deserts and mountains. Embrace it, embrace the essence of beauty.

"What befalls the earth, befalls all the sons and daughters of the earth" - Chief Seattle

I know there is much talk about global warming and whatnot, and I'm not getting into that, I'm saying that we should appreciate what we have while we still have it.

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams - Ashley Smith

You are beautiful! know this, no one can ever change that, go on say it, say "I am beautiful" say it again, maybe with a smile :)

doing this, is making you one step closer to being truly happy, truly carefree.

"Beauty is the promise of happiness" - Stendhal

I promise you will be happy if you know you are beautiful :D

Being all you can be

Hello everyone, as I talk to different people, I often hear people being so down on themselves, saying that they suck at stuff or are not good enough. Now I know that every situation is different between everyone, and it is true that everyone has their own talents. But no one is awful, no one is ugly no one deserves nothing and no one deserves to die. It is negativity like this that allows us to lack in doing what we're supposed to be striving for, happiness, because happiness is the only true form of success. And I for one, say that confidence is very important if not the most important asset to becoming a happy person and being all that you can be.

Even if you think that you know all about yourself, remember "It takes the smartest individuals to realize there's always more to learn." So you are always constantly learning new things about yourself. Even when you are feeling down. If you are feeling down and this is a constant problem, all I can say to you is that "You're amazing You're special, You're beautiful, You're strong, You're Valuable, You're Smart, Stay Determined, Be Happy, Be True to yourself and others, Be Brave, Be Kind, Be Respectful, Be everything you can be, and more."

Be all you can be, and use happiness and kindness as tools, let words be your weapon, and when you feel that you are not good enough, confidence will be your protection, once you have mastered these things you will be ready to be all you can be you will be ready to fight, and face the onslaught of problems life will throw, and you must give it your all, because there is only one way to give 110%, and that way is by having unbreakable faith.

And to be loved and respected you must Always be ready to take one for the team. Always strive for the unobtainable. Always be prepared to explain the hows and whys. Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest. Always forgive your enemies. Always give people a piece of your heart, and not a piece of your mind. Always tell the truth, it's the easiest thing to remember. And most importantly, Always smile, because nothing shows pizazz like a winning smile.

Now these are just words, I'm not asking you to follow them, just take them into consideration. All I'm asking you to do, is to be happy, be yourself and be all you can be. Everyone is different, everyone has their likes and dislikes, everyone has their wins and losses, their ups and downs and their flaws. We all know the world is not perfect, but wouldn't it be nice if we could just try and make it a little better each day? All you have to do, is be all you can be, and smile. :)
