The Story of Life

“You see, in every story, it's not about the ending. 

It's about the chapters in between and how you make it through them, but we all know how important it is to get through them in order to see how it ends. 

While you're going through them, it might be scary, terrifying actually, but you'll learn so much about yourself at the end of each one.” 

― Courtney Giardina

Fight or Flee

“The way I see it, our natural human instinct is to fight or flee that which we perceive to be dangerous. Although this mechanism evolved to protect us, it serves as the single greatest limiting process to our growth. To put this process in perspective and not let it rule my life, I

expect the unexpected;

make the unfamiliar familiar;

make the unknown known;

make the uncomfortable comfortable;

believe the unbelievable.”

― Charles F. Glassman

Children of Today; Why Not You?

Today, many will awaken with a fresh sense of inspiration. Why not you?

Today, many will open their eyes to the beauty that surrounds them. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to leave the ghost of yesterday behind and seize the immeasurable power of today. Why not you?

Today, many will break through the barriers of the past by looking at the blessings of the present. Why not you?

Today, for many the burden of self doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?

Today, many will rise above their believed limitations and make contact with their powerful innate strength. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live in such a manner that they will be a positive role model for their children. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to free themselves from the personal imprisonment of their bad habits. Why not you?

Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you?

Today, many will find abundance in simplicity. Why not you?

Today, many will be confronted by difficult moral choices and they will choose to do what is right instead of what is beneficial. Why not you?

Today, many will decide to no longer sit back with a victim mentality, but to take charge of their lives and make positive changes. Why not you?

Today, many will take the action necessary to make a difference. Why not you?

Today, many will make the commitment to be a better mother, father, son, daughter, student, teacher, worker, boss, brother, sister, & so much more. Why not you?

Today is a new day!

Many will seize this day.

Many will live it to the fullest.

Why not you?”

When and Dare

“Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be!” 
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

the facade

          

a smile, 

is it displays a, 

beautiful smile,

sorrowful smile,

bitter smile,

fake smile,

truthful smile,

happy smile,

sinister smile,

real smile,

encourages smile, 

or, 

you can't even notify what smile is it. 

a smile,

not everyone know what lies under that smile, 

not until that lips stops smiling,

only then you know the reality.

p/s: keep smiling, the sincerest smile.

no one is perfect

we are humans,

humans  aren't perfect,

we have many flaws,

but we, 

the children of tomorrow,

can change it for the better,.

in this cruel world,

nothing's easy,

everything has their own price,

but,

if we change it a little,

everyone'll be happy.

p/s: don't change because of someone, it won't benefit you but change it for yourself and you'll receive it.

it's not about the past, but the future

 

yeah,

i know not everyone can forget the past,

but i know too,

sometimes we can dwell in the past,

either for a short time or a longer time, 

so make your choice now.

yeah, 

i know that not everyone can forget the past easily,

i know too it hurts so much,

but,

if we keep mourning over the past,

we'll never step forward. 

yeah, 

so everyone who has bitter past,

that you want to erase it so badly,

clenched your fists and breath in, 

just take it slowly,

sit down and reflect.

p/s: keep complaining won't change anything.
