Have faith, things will get better…

Have faith, things will get better.

No matter how lost things may seem. When you get discouraged, know there is always something to hope for.  Hold tight to your dreams your goals, and faith. There will always be trying circumstances in this life, trying to your life, your understanding and your character. Believe in the best. Know things will get better. No matter what happens you can and will make it through, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Surround yourself with positive people; people who will uplift you and support you in your efforts, encourage you and see the best in you, when you sometimes can’t. Always remember to hold on tight to your essence, your being, what makes you YOU! Because that is irreplaceable.

Challenges

Life is not predictable at all, it is filled with challenges. What counts
in our own lives is how we choose to look at those challenges and what we
decide to do with them. We can run away, but we’ll be running from something
forever or we can do what not too many dare to do, look it straight in the eye,
and confront it. If you have enough determination and strength then you’ll
overcome it, and you’ll grow to become even stronger. The question we have to
ask yourselves is what can I live with?

Life is fragile

We often underestimate how fragile life really is. We are so caught up in our daily routines that we forget to stop and look around. In an instant life as we know it can change, and it only takes a simple event to shake up our lives for the better or worse. There is no way for us to know what comes next, but all we can do is take life as it comes and appreciate it as it is. Enjoy each and every moment and each and every person that comes across your path.

So many people enter and leave our lives, but often we are too caught up in other distractions to truly value and learn from another person. We have to appreciate those who have come into our lives because whether we admit it or not, they have helped form is into who we are today. A person teaches you more about yourself if you let them, they will either show you what you need in your life or what you don’t. It’s up to you to take the lesson and grow from it.

Being angry or resentful at a person is a waste. A waste of your own precious time and energy that could be used for something so much better. Never let your heart grow cold because of what another or what life has done to you. Move on but never forget. Even bad things come for good reasons.

New beginnings are not so new

A new beginning gives such promise, such hope.We all long for it at some point in our lives, or another. What we fail to realize is that we create unrealistic expectations for our lives. Somehow we believe that when this opportunity arrives that everything will improve, yet we must confront what we desire or lack in our lives to truly create that new beginning. The truth is we create the new beginning for ourselves, not the place, the job, or the circumstances but rather on the way we view life and what we do about it.

We cannot lead a new life if we continue carrying on burdens from our past, or continuing to be caught in patterns or cycles that have not brought any positive result to our lives. It is important to sit back sometimes and just reflect, in order to truly bring forth some change. Once we know what is broken, we can fix it.

My Hero

Who is my hero?

My hero is strong, confident, determined, good-hearted, helpful and ambitious. She follows her dreams regardless of what she faces, and doesn’t let anyone or anything keep her down. She strives for the good of all people and helps those in need.

The sort of evil/ oppression my hero confronts is that she is not expected to succeed or to do anything and is constantly put down. There are always major obstacles in her way that would seem to make her give up, also her past and circumstances are a struggle she must always face.

She confronts evil because she will only succeed once she defeats it, it is what is preventing good in her life and in other people’s lives. She wants to end the suffering. The motivation is to attain success, happiness for herself and others.

My hero confronts evil for the people, especially the younger generations and those to come.

The virtues my hero represents are kindness, wisdom, strength.

My own hero is what I strive to be.
