Each day brings with it change...Be it positive or negative...We need to take responsibility for our decisions...learn a lesson from our mistakes, and have the strength to make necessary changes...We should realize that life's too short to be anything but happy...To be truly content we need to always be soft...don't let the world make you hard...don't let the pain make you hate...don't let the cold steal your warmth...don't let the bitterness steal your sweetness...When you learn to do this you will find that your inner strength and self respect gets even stronger... you need to realize that the pain of trying to hold onto old or new troubles is harder than just simply letting go...Dont live in the past...Let what happened yesterday stay there...Today is what you have to build a future...Build it on a strong foundation...It's amazing and sad how much pain our hearts have to feel and how many tears that we have to cry in order to get to that place where we can see that we deserve better...I feel that we are responsible for our own happiness...If you expect others to make you happy...you will always be disappointed...Our happiness comes from within and in order to truly be happy we need to learn that our heart knows no distance...knows no time value...knows no limitations...knows no boundaries...We need to remember that our heart only knows one thing and that is love and compassion for another...I feel that to feel good and make others feel as well we should smile at everyone...Always speak gently to all you meet...For every person is dealing with 'something' and yours may be the only kindness they will know on this day...I do not believe that the world is not based on fact or fiction, truth or myth, reality or fantasy...I do believe that if you look and really see you will find that the world is a world of possibilities, achievable goals, and unlimited imagination...When we are face with what others call a problem lets begin to see it as an opportunity instead...I do believe that if you look for the positive in something you will find it... if you look for the negative in something that is all you will ever see...We need to begin to passionately believe in what you are doing...let nothing hold you up in your work, and one day at a time the impossible can become possible...a better life will come our way the second you get up and start walking toward it...In my life I have learned to forget that which hurt me in the past...but I will never forget what I learned from it...We need to learn that being strong is very important, but knowing who you can rely on is equally as important...I learned to realize that we learn something from everyone who passes through our lives...some lessons are painful, some are painless, but ... all are priceless...We need to know that when we treat people as they are, they will remain as they are, but when we treat them as they could be, they can and will always become what they should be...When we do reach our dream please know that The single hand that wipes our tears during /our failures is much more important than the countless hands that come together to clap for our successes...Each of us have to fall from the mountain to realize what we are climbing for...Know that obstacles are placed in our way to see if what we want is really worth fighting for...This life is what we make of it, we go where we allow ourselves to go, it requires a little hard work, and a lot of sacrifice, but in the end, it is worth it...We should never wait for the perfect moment...Instead take the moment and make it perfect...In the end I want for you...the vision to see what you truly need...the courage to seek what your heart desires... and the strength to endure it all because if you do have and use these then I promise yours and others dream and will come true...Always for the greater good..."Do not be over come with evil, but overcome evil with good"'Romans Chapter 12 Verse 21...For I know what I have planned for you says the Lord.I have plans to prosper you not to harm you.I have plans to give you a future filled with hope.
