The greatest weakness of humans......

"The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how they love them while they're alive."
                   Being able to tell someone how you feel is a very difficult challenge, especially when it is the first time telling them. Although it is not feasible for every moment of our life to be planned, sometimes planning your words, especially when you are relaying your feelings to someone is the best way to handle things. In order for you to tell someone that you love them, you cant be looking forward to telling them, seeking for them to say the same in return. 

                 If you are doing this just to see a persons reaction then you are probably doing it for the wrong reason. You should only tell someone that you love them when you know in your heart that you do. Of course we all want the person we love to love us back, but getting our feelings off of our chest shouldn't be a ploy to gauge where someone eases feelings. Whatever you do be confident in the fact that you love this person, and know that whatever happens after you tell them how you feel, just happens.

Beauty Might Bring Happiness But Happiness Always Brings Beauty

The way that the world functions today, we tend to think that our beauty is made up solely of the person that we see when we look in the mirror. Little do we realize our beauty is made up of the person that we are inside, not the person that we are on the outside. If we only allow people in our lives that only appreciate us for our beauty on the outside, we will never have real friendships or love. 

With that being said, the way we feel about the image we present to the world can greatly affect our confidence and the way we deal with people. Some of us may think that we weight too much, some of us may think our nose is too big or that our eyes are too wide. Too overcome this we have to challenge society, and tell ourselves that despite whatever everyone else says we know that we are beautiful. Try not avoiding the mirrors and every morning after you wash your face and every night before you go to bed, look in the mirror and tell yourself out loud that you are beautiful!

If you love someone, tell them....

Every day that passes by on this Earth that we have life in, is simply a blessing. No one can predict the date and exact time that they will go to meet their maker, but we do know that death is inevitable. One of the most important things we can do in our lives is to make it a point to tell people what is on our hearts. There have been so many who regret not telling people how they really felt, or how much they cared for them before they passed.
 
The pain that many experience because of this regret can be very intense because you realize that all it would have took to change the regret you are feeling in the moment, is a little more initiative on your part. Refuse to live with regret, and refuse to be ruled by the fear of telling someone something that they may not reciprocate. Tell people how you feel while you still have the time to.

Being single and feeling lonely is better than being married

Choose your spouse carefully. Being single and feeling lonely is better than being married and feeling lonely.
This quote may be founded upon older principles but it is my belief that this is a truth that will help people for generations to come. Things these days are different in our society and it seems that marriage is just another form of life that people are instantly gratified of when it happens, but it is an institution that has lost importance in the minds and hearts of people because so many of them fail.
Never get married for the wrong reasons, often times you can feel in your heart what exactly the wrong reasons are. When you are truly in love with someone it will be way too hard to even imagine life without him or her.
 
If someone isn't the right one for you, don't drag out the relationship and lead the other person on. Likewise, be willing to make the bold move of committing to be with someone forever when you know that it is real. After all, life is much too short to live unhappily.

love yourself to become a new person

Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.
There are some instances in our lives that we will be forced to decide to move on from a situation rather than to hold on to something that will ultimately distract and stop us from achieving what we envisioned for ourselves in life.
 
To be successful in life, we have to commit to living an active life. Some relationships and other circumstances that are part of our lives now, will weigh us down too much and not allow us to keep progressing forward in life.
 
One principle we must all remember is that to obtain success, we must be willing to keep moving, even when there are parts of our lives that we always thought were vital arent able to go along with us.
 
Be willing to let the old parts of you go when the time is right. Only you know what is in your heart, and only you know what is truly holding you back from reaching greatness, make the best decisions for you and for what is in your heart.
 

doesn't need to be perfect Love.....

Love doesn't need to be perfect it just needs to be true.
Love isn't something that causes everything in two people's lives to all of a sudden become perfect. What makes love so powerful is the fact that it can help make a situation that isn't at all perfect, a situation involving two imperfect people, and putting them together in a manner that perfectly supports them and in a manner that helps to encourage both parties to grow.
 
Many go through their relationships mistakenly thinking that everything should happens as they miraculously do in the movies, and end up dooming their relationships before these relationships are given a really good chance to start.
 
Don't give in to the trials and tribulations that you will surely face in your relationships, remember that any relationship worth keeping is worth fighting for. Keep fighting for your love, because though love is not perfect, it is perfect in its imperfection.



way you treat yourself.....

The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others on how you demand to be treated. Don't settle for anything other than respect.
You are more than just a name; you are a great spirit inside of a physical body. Recognizing greatness inside you isn't always the easiest thing to manage to do, especially since there are so many things that we are able to do that we tend to give these things much less focus. For instance, we breath thousands of breaths each day without even thinking about it once throughout the day. Breathing is key to us staying alive, yet it is such a part of a normal everyday lives that we don't even look at this process as incredible, or even much pay attention to it at all.
In a sense this is what we do with our lives overall as well. We take for granted how special we are, and how much greatness that we have inside of us. If you've been full of doubt lately, turn it around. Remember that you are great, and that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

Promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate.

People hate when they feel as though their efforts haven't been, and probably won't be as adequate as what they see someone else doing. It is instinctual for people to challenge other people who seem to have a slight edge on themselves, but that doesn't mean we should not work hard at loving each other, instead of stubbornly clinging to hate.
Instead of giving focus to things that you don't agree with, we should give our best amount of time, and best amount of effort loving and living out our dreams. There is a limited amount of time on this earth, and tomorrow is never promised. Get rid of the hate before it becomes too late.
We must make a concerted effort to get over what angers us, to forgive those who have done wrong to us, to be happy for what other people have and for what other people do, and to keep a peaceful hardworking resolve towards our dreams.

Make The Most Of Yourself

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.
One great quality that we all have as human beings is being able to feel what is right by examining the way that we feel at our heart's level. Not only do we have the ability to think about life, but we have the ability to navigate life by using our heart and soul to guide us.

If a person wants to truly follow what is inside of their heart, they must be willing to first find their self. One must take a keen look at what is inside of them so that they will be better able to trust in their own decisions.

When a person isn't too familiar with their selves, then they are more than likely going to be highly influenced by the opinions of others surrounding them.

We must be willing to trust in ourselves, for we know way more than we think, we also know what we feel inside of our hearts.
 

Do Not Let The Opinions Of Others Consume You

"Do not let the opinions of others consume you."
 When we choose to let the opinions of others matter too much to us, then we are choosing to let their opinions consume us. Instead of living your life worried about what others may think or feel about what you are doing, live your life to the best of your ability, with the things that are in your heart and not someone else's heart.

One thing we must all learn in life is that the more that we are productive, and the more that our light and our soul is shown to the world, there are always going to be those who will speak against us, even if most times they have no justification or right to do so.

Any time there is a positive force of production in the world, there will be negative forces to try to stop, by speaking against it, and trying to persuade it in any way possible to stop. Never let the opinions of others consume you, live your life, and live to be as great as you possibly may become.

Have The Courage To Follow Your Heart And Intuition

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. 
They somehow already know what you truly want to become. -Steve Jobs"
One thing we must remember is that courage isn't just living and doing in the absence of fear, courage is the ability to overcome and fight during any situation, even when fear is present. Courage isn't just something that we should do on an intermittent basis, it is an attitude that we must choose to live with. We have to choose to be courageous enough to take risks in our lives, we have to be courageous enough to live as and be ourselves at all time, we must be courageous enough to bypass and overcome whatever fears and other obstacles that may be in the way of us achieving all of the things that we have inside of us to achieve.

Not only must we be courageous enough to go after the things that we desire in our lives, but we must also be courageous enough to try and help to build others up along the way. In the midst of adversity, and fear, make an effort to be as courageous as possible and defy any force that tries to stop you from making your dreams a reality!

Whether You Think You Can Or Think You Can't You're Right

" Whether you think you can or think you can't you're right."
 What you do in this world is what you choose to believe that you can do. I know, we have all heard the saying "you can be anything that you put your mind to" but this saying is so clich� because it is very true.

Your life is what you make it. If you choose to wallow in your failures, and if you choose to submit to you defeats, then chances are you won't have much victory or success in your life. If instead you choose to learn from the parts of life that you don't do so well in, and if you choose to continue to keep getting up after life knocks you down, failure will only be in your life for a limited amount of time, and success will be in your life substantially. But you are only going to harvest the seeds in life that you have sown, make sure that you plant the right ones.

This Is Your Life Do What You Love

"This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our difference. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream, and wear your passion.
 What do you want? Sometimes it's good to ask yourself this question and then see if your actions correspond with these same goals. For instance if you say you want straight A's how much time are you studying? If you want to be a better friend/spouse/coworker/relative how are you treating others? If you want more money, how are you managing the money you have now? Are you working toward what you want in life or are you just expecting it to happen?

To grow and achieve your goals we must ensure we are working towards them. Try it for yourself. Set up a progress report on what you said you want and what you did for it. Make efforts to help to keep yourself accountable for your actions and how they directly correlate with your dreams, and be willing to change the things in your life that are delaying your progress from achieving the goals in life you may desire.

Watch Your Words For They Become Your Actions

" Watch your thoughts for they become your words. Watch your words for they become your actions. Watch your actions for they become your habits. Watch your habits for they become your character. Watch your character for they become your destiny."
There is death and life in the power of the tongue though many of us unwillingly underestimate the power of our words. Words have tremendous power, especially if they are heard over and over again, and are instilled into a persons psyche. Words are like a powerful drug, because they have the power to either influence and inspire growth or to help cause destruction, words can weigh heavy on a person, and words may also help to liberate a person

From knowing this we must all be willing to choose our words carefully. Though it may be easier said than done, we have to all make efforts to not speak out against anyone behind their backs, and to only speak so that they will be able to hear it, receive it, and grow from it. Your words are powerful, always make sure to think and use words that build instead of destroy.

Dedicate Your Life To Becoming Better

" I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance, to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to the next as blossom and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit." -Dawn Markova
 Every day is a day that we can be doing something important to us. We can't get baffled by life and all of the options that we have to choose from on an everyday basis. In whatever we do we have to be consistent. No matter what we do we have to be willing to give the same effort towards the things that we really care about on a habitual basis. What you decide to do is up to you, just be sure to do something relating to your core beliefs, and what you think that life means.

We have to dedicate our lives to becoming better and better in the areas that we believe to be most important. Only then will you be able to live openly without fear, and to sow seeds that will produce good fruit! Consistently sow from the heart, and you will consistently reap great harvests.

You are love. You yourself ......

"You are love. You yourself as much as anybody in the entire universe, 
deserve your love and 
affection."
 You are love is an expression meaning that you are what you choose to be. In a sense if you choose to be love you are choosing to walk in love at all times. Meaning you are choosing to be positive, and make choices in your everyday life that are relative to and the represent someone that walks in love in everything they do. Choosing to be love and to walk in love is not an easy lifestyle to live.

The temptation of doing things that seem to be instinctual or ingrained in our flesh would be an easier life to live as it would be living off of our impulsive thinking, instead of living life doing what we know in our hearts is the right thing to do. Today we should all make a concerted effort to live our lives walking in love. Meaning, we must choose to be positive when our circumstances call for us to be negative, we must resist urges and temptations to do whats wrong, and we must try with everything inside of us to walk in love with every step that we make in our lives.

Love yourself and be proud........

"Love yourself and be proud of everything that you do, even your mistakes. Because even mistakes mean you're trying."
 Learning to love yourself is key in truly embodying and truly becoming the great person you are. Though sometimes life seems to be a bit scary when we are all alone, we have to believe in the fact that when we learn to persevere alone, we learn a lot about ourselves and the journey in life that is our destiny.

We are destined to do tremendous things, and knowing this we have to be willing to continue to fight for our destinies, no matter who is around us. Sometimes we will be alone in life, but it is in these times that we are truly able to learn a lot about ourselves and a lot about who we are destined to become.

Never think of being alone as a depressing time. Seek God, meditate and pray unceasingly for in actuality with God you are never alone. He will speak to you and he will guide you out of darkness into a life filled with positivity, love, peace, and great friendships.

Tell Them........If you love someone

"If you love someone, tell them. For hearts are often broken by words left unspoken."
 Every day that passes by on this Earth that we have life in, is simply a blessing. No one can predict the date and exact time that they will go to meet their maker, but we do know that death is inevitable. One of the most important things we can do in our lives is to make it a point to tell people what is on our hearts. There have been so many who regret not telling people how they really felt, or how much they cared for them before they passed.

To Become A New Person And Better Person You Must Love Yourself
