Pay it forward!

I know that the way we each choose to live our lives daily is a choice we make each morning for ourselves and the people in our daily lives.

I know that my choice to live a more positive and loving life style is not for everyone, but maybe it should be!  Maybe we should all try to be more welcoming and positive.

If more people smiled at stragers, said good morning to their cashier or asked someone in need if they could help them.... maybe, just maybe, the world we live in could become a world over flowing with Love and Compassion.

The world as it is today is brimming with fear and hate.  There are so many things put out there for the shock and awe of the story.  We are taught to fear strangers, for no other reason than that some people are hurtful. Some people.... NOT all people.

I feel like our world is punishing the many because of the actions of the few.  People hate people because of their skin color or who they choose to love, etc.  People fear what they cannot understand and that fear manifests itself as hate.

I think we need to pump more love and acceptance into the world we live in everyday.  Your local neighborhoods, schools, churches, shops, etc.  If we start there and all make a great effort to be less afraid of the man we pass on the street every morning and make an effort to say hello, maybe even ask how they are... that could lead to a world of safety, comfort and compassion.

We've got to dimish these flames of fear and hate and spread the aceptance and love that EVERYONE in this world deserves.  If we can't take responsibility for our part in making the world a better, safer place... then who will?

It's not every man for himself... It is UNITED WE STAND!

Our task as humans is to spread humanity.  Our goal should be to know and love others no matter what.  With the power of the internet it is not hard to spread these messages and reach many people.  If we are willing to start the ball rolling than hopefully others will be compelled to keep it rolling.  We can make a difference in this world, together!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE ONE PERSON AT A TIME... IF WE ALL TRY.

Our Mission Everyday: 

Do something nice for someone in the hopes that they will follow your lead and do the same for someone else; so on and so forth... 

PAY IT FORWARD!

My Pearls of Wisdom...

I have used twitter and facebook a lot lately to share some great quotes by other people that inspire me on a daily basis.  Since I have been on the path of positivity it has made me see things so much clearer. 

I have been inspired a lot lately to share some of my own positive messages with the world.  I want to share these positive vibes in the hopes that they will lead someone else to this path and improve their daily living the way it has for me.

So here are my top ten most recent Pearls of Wisdom... I hope they inspire you!

1. Never cover up your imperfections, because those cracks allow your inner light to shine through.

2. Take joy in what you have and be ever grateful. For someone, somewhere is yearning for that which you take for granted.

3. Life is about finding your slice of happiness and enjoying every bite of it.

4. We are only as good as our word. Our word is only as good as our intentions. Live with good intention.
 

5. If you can change your bitterness to graciousness, your jealousy to inspiration and your envy to motivation; you can change your life.

6. Our happiness is a direct result of the choices we make every day... Choose wisely!

7. If you find yourself unhappy with something; take action or stop complaining. It's as simple as that.

8. Never hold back. Always hold on.

9. Nothing in this life is permanent. You've got to love the ones you've got, with all you have; at all times.

10. If you want to be listened to, you have to listen too.

Epic Thought of the Day

Life is about living, not just existing.

There will always be stress. There will always be bumps in the road. But each one is a lesson to be learned.

You've got to seek out the good and the positive and thrive on them. There is always something good to hold on to. So when you are down in the dumps, seek what you need to lift yourself up.

Because every new day you are given is a blessing to cherish.

Fill it with happiness!

The Choice is Yours...

Everyone in this life is entitled to their own opinions.

Just like everyone in this life is entitled to be who they are, love who they love, pray to whom they want, etc.

Spending your life trying to get others to accept your choices, is just wasting your life.

They are YOUR CHOICES, no one else has to live with them. 

Be who you are.  Speak from your heart. Love who you love.

You only get one shot at a happy life, don't waste it.

The End

Looking back on things is rough when you have unresolved feelings about what went on.  Things you've often imagined yourself saying or doing to bring yourself closure, when you most likely will never get that opportunity.  Closure is elusive.

Sometimes it's hard to not just say the things that fly through your mind.  More often than not, it is much better that you don't.  Because the thoughts we think in the heat of the moment are tainted with what ever emotion we are feeling.  Once said out loud, they can never be taken away; the damage done. 

So why can't I let go?

I have been hurt by mere words and petty actions, only because I allow myself to continue to feel those wounds.  I have not treated them or let them be to heal.  My mind constantly picking at old scabs.

Wondering... wondering is the worst, right?!?!  I mean, we can drive ourselves crazy with "what ifs" but in the end we will never know what would have come to be had we just said something different or done something in another way.  It is what it is, no changing that.

So again, why is it so hard to let go of hurt?

To turn your back absolutely on those who have caused you pain.  Lessons learned... but the want for closure still lingers on.

Forgiveness can't be solely reliant on knowing the other party admits they were wrong... Forgiveness is on an individual basis. In order to forgive, I do not need to be forgiven.

Letting go... sounds so easy.  But emotions create ties that have become much harder to sever.

I guess patience will be the key... but in the mean time waiting with the scars is somewhat bothersome.

The right idea...

"Love the Life you Live & Live the Life you Love"
