Sometimes things worth celebrating occur. You celebrate. Or you pass up the opportunity. Other days nothing really seems to go on. Today was a kind of celebratory day for me. Until… nothing happened. But all of a sudden I just wanted to go back home and slink into bed. Hormones? Moods? Or my age-old enemy trying to sap the joy from me?
I could choose to go by how I feel. Pull this long face, shuffle my feet on the ground, grouch about everything. But it is tiring.
There are those days when you want to be miserable and no matter what one does, nothing can change that. Other days, you are really fighting the blues. I guess it is all a battle. You are not guaranteed nothing will happen to mess up your otherwise perfect day. Or maybe, nothing will happen. But you could still be miserable. You could still be on edge. I will choose to smile when I could hold a really long face. I am trying it now.
Talking about choice, what do you do to someone who is a real b**** but they still want to behave like an angel around you. You know the kind of people who back-stab you, yet are smiling when you meet. In reality, you want to give them a piece of your mind in the least. But you smile back, find out how they are doing (seriously) and even promise them coffee. Hypocritical. A tard. But it is also liberating. That you can try to love, try to understand, try to show you are not that easily pulled down.
Pride? Maybe. But I would rather handle than sort any day, than ugly confrontation.
Bored….Sorry about yesterday’s ‘mood’.
And out of this…may I keep you going
With some inspiring collection…

Take These Thoughts With You
On Your Journey To Your Dreams
Don’t ever forget that you are unique. Be your best self and not an imitation of someone else.
Find your strength and use them in a positive way. Don’t listen to those who ridicule the choices you make.
Travel the road that you have chosen and don’t look back with regret. You have to take chances to make your dreams happen.
Remember that there is plenty of time to travel another road – and still another – in your journey through life.
Take the time to find the route that is right for you. You will learn something valuable from every trip you take, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
Tell yourself that you’re okay just the way you are. Make friends who respect your true self.
Take the time to be alone, too, so you can know just how terrific your own company can be.
Remember that being alone doesn’t always mean being lonely; it can be a beautiful experience of finding your creativity, your heartfelt feelings, and the calm and quiet peace deep inside you.
Don’t ever forget that you are special and you have within you the ability to make your dreams come true.

Within You Is The Strength
To Meet Life’s Challenges!
You are stronger than you think,
remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life
helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter
strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome
increases your understanding of life.
When all your troubles weigh
heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden
you can stand tall,
because you are never given
more than you can handle…
and you are stronger than you think.
~ Lisa Wroble ~
You Can Be Whatever
You Want To Be!
There is inside you
all of the potential
to be whatever you want to be,
all of the energy
to do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
doing what you want to do,
and each day, take one step
towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
that you are the person you dreamed of,
doing what you wanted to do,
simply because you had the courage
to believe in your potential
and to hold on to your dream.

Wassup seeker!
Follow the wise advice from Winston Churchill:
When you face an obstacle, examine your actions. And if they seem to be taking you further away from your goals, change your approach and take new actions.
Keep your goals and dreams by your side as you work toward turning them into reality.

Hi seeker!
This is an edited piece i came across through the ‘link’.
See, i believed it!!
YOU KNOW!
At times, daily work is wearisome. But God’s blessings through well-tended relationships more than compensate. Yes, relationships that give life meaning were God’s idea!
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work.
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the one who falls and has no one to help him up! Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Apart from relationships, life and work lose their lasting rewards.
“What does a man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?” Ecclesiastes 1:3
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up.”
In relationship, life and work acquire meaning.
To God, relationships are everything.” We are created for meaningful, abundant lives in communion with God and others. By design, our greatest fulfillment begins when we enter a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. That primary relationship enables us to develop healthy, satisfying relationships with others. Our daily tasks are more attainable when we can share the load. Equally rewarding, we return the favor when we lift up someone who falls or needs encouragement. God’s best gifts come in relationships.
Life’s lessons are best learned in a supportive community that allows us to practice, succeed, and even fail. The courage to risk comes more easily with safety nets—God-given relationships developed through time and energy. When we inevitably miss a step and fall, our nets are there. And through encouragement, faith, and love, we also hold the net for others and help them to their feet.
