Inspiration

At times when you think that you have failed at everything, you have really just succeeded. You have realized that you are not perfect, that not everything turns out just right in life.

Think about all the good things you have done, the good times in your life. You have definitely made a difference in someone else’s life, you just don’t know it – I can guarantee it. If you are reading this blog, you have made a difference in my life.

Think about this: How can I do any better? What can I do to make a difference, to help more people, to change the world, one small step at a time?

Think about the future, not the past. Hope for the best, not the worst.

Believe in yourself and you too can make a difference in the world.

Crying and loving...

What is with the stereotype that guys don't cry, I mean jeez. Everyone cries, even and especially guys. Crying is an output, it is a way to show your emotions, it is a spontaneous reaction to the feelings that bloom inside of you, coming straight from within the heart and where your true feelings itself show. There are many times in my life where I am lucky enough to experience many tragic, riveting, touching and truly emotional times – feeling them with my heart and touching with my mind the things that go on around me. Yet at these times, at that very second when I feel and actually feel my heart splitting, feel that tense grasp of something in my chest, that weird feeling you feel every time something really important to you or just some... something indescribable, it's a feeling that just comes, it comes and goes whenever it pleases, it's a feeling you get during the happy times and during the bad times.

What I understood was the importance of family, the importance of love of whatever nature. Whether it be love for your family, love for your dog, your first love, unconditional love, true love, whatever it may be, it is still an essential part of our lives. As humans we all need love, and we all need to be loved. We all have to show our emotions and we have to feel, we have to understand, we have to live, we have to perceive and we have to help. It is in our soul and in our nature to love. It is through love that we discover our true self; it is through love that we truly understand the importance of life and the meaning or the reason why we came to be.

There are many people who may not feel that they need love, they may not feel that they have love, they may have lost the feeling of love and they may have pushed those they love away. They may have been loved but then lost their loved ones through a terrible mistake, through a tragic or horrific event. They may think that they have never been loved and have always been mistreated, but it is through the misunderstanding and the lack of love that they will feel love and come to treasure and understand it more than anyone else in the world. Whatever the case, everyone in this world either has been loved or will be loved. Love is everywhere. It can be found in the relationships people develop with each other, whether they be friendships or rivalries, these are all relationships, there is always something, a bond, a connection that humans make with each other.

Love can be with our pets, a dog or cat or fish or turtle. It could be from a family whether it be your family or someone else's family... but most of all, love is within us, we all have a love for ourselves. We must all learn to love ourselves, to understand ourselves and to gain self respect and self understanding - intrapersonal skills.

It is through true love and the trust we have in others that we will be able to truly understand ourselves. None of us will be able to live on this life long journey of living and loving alone, we must be accompanied by friends and family and pets and strangers. It is with the relationship and the special connection we have with each and everything we come in contact with that we can truly come to learn more about ourselves and understand what it is to experience a life of love.
