Taking A Step Forward...

As kids we are always told to do what makes us happy. As we grow older we are told that true happiness comes from sacrificing what you love to have the people who you care for to be happy. After learning this, we look back and some of may regret some of the sacrifices we have made.

What can hurt most in life is when you do something for other people but they don't appreciate it well enough. However, that is not their fault, or is it? I mean if you really cared for that person shouldn't you be able to foresee? I am not a philosopher, but i can tell you that life is a game. A game where we are just players. Players that think they are capable of great things, but in the end do nothing because they believe that small actions won't have a big impact. That thinking itself is a flaw.  

Why not believe that you could be the change this world needs? I am sure even great leaders we learn about in history didn't even know how popular they would be. The point of becoming the change doesn't mean popularity. It means hope. If you have hope and you trust your instincts and dreams to be impacting, then go for it! Be the change this world needs. Things like this are definitely easier said than done, but if we all keep thinking this way, what is left in this world to hope for?

There are many shrewd people in this world, but what is to come of that when there is no one benefiting from it. You don't have to be intelligent to make a change. I don't know the exact saying but i have heard that a single pebble can have a bigger rippling effect than expected. Now I'm not sure if that is exactly the saying, but what i do know is changing the heart of one person or impacting one person's life is the change the world needs. That's all. 

Just remember that true happiness will come from those who want the people around them to be happy :) 

Keep Smiling and don't forget to chase your dreams :)

A second Chance

Sometimes to forgive and forget is the best policy. I mean think about it...do you want to look back at your life just remembering all those times people have hurt you OR all those times when you have hurt someone else. The answer without hesitation should be no.

A lot of the time a lot of us are simply just afraid to step out into the world. Afraid of society.  Afraid of failing expectations.  Afraid of hurting the people we love. I've learned to make a pact with myself.

I learned to walk in my own foot steps without falling down. I don't want to be that person turning around and reflecting at myself with regret. I want to look forward because the past will always remain in the past. That cannot be changed.

Time will always go on and sometimes it will leave us, forgetting us.  But the point is to get back up and chase after our dreams to catch up with the rest of the world. Once you're caught up with time, there will be no I ne there to hurt you or pull you back.

There will be great opportunities in life and even though for some of us our journey has just begun...there will always be good and evil for eternity. What we should keep in mind through all our struggles is not loosing the people we love who have suffered along with us. Hold on tight and dont loose your grip. True strength can be found inside us, inside our hearts.

A Simple Contemplation

When I close my eyes, I want to see the world in front of me. A world where there is no looking back. A world where there is no bad. A world where this only love, that would be a true dream come true.

I want to follow my dreams but I can’t, in truth no one can achieve their dreams. There is no such thing as dreams and there is no such thing as having your dreams come true. You can only chase after them, thus they are mere fantasies trapped in the back of our mental state, afraid and petrified of the true world out there lying in front of us.

But that doesn't mean that our life will be filled with nothing but sorrow. For our hopes and memories are worth more than the silly fantasies we have in mind.

So I’ll leave us all at one note, live life to the fullest, but in a manner that when you look back at it there is nothing but a pride smile across your face.

When we take a step in life, let’s make a vow to never take a step back because that would intent we have never forgotten regrets behind us.

Lead your life the positive way, which you envy when you someone else has. Instead of envy and jealousy shape your life in a manner that satisfies your needs and wants.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming, but there will always be something wrong with only dreaming. When you’re at that stage in life, you have clearly forgotten how to live it. 

Many have asked why we cannot fly. The real reason behind why we cannot fly is because wings are not strong enough to carry our burdens and responsibilities.

A Tale Of Pain

When he closed his eyes, he saw his past.

He had a spouse, two children, and a shelter above him.

This will always account as a sweet memory, but

For his children who looked up to him, likely not.

Hoping for a new start, he would look up at the sky’s jewel.

At a time he was full of pride, for he had everything

That a man would ever dreamt of. When the typhoon finally hit,

He still remained confident, for he had over confidence on his

Future to come. He figured why misfortune would ever happen

To him, for he had never committed any sin.

As days rolled by, the job that once relied on him,

Became something he daily began to depend on.

Once stout-hearted man, now filled with overwhelming fear of

How he too, would lose his job like his neighbors near.

A man with no guilt, suddenly indulged in guidance of God’s ways

Hoped his daily toil would gain His blessings, which he would

Clutch to his heart, for he only hoped for his children and

Spouse to live under a dwelling place, with no problems at sight.

Times were to him very harsh, for his job cut his pay.

At a point in his life money was all, but now hope had the power

To conquer all, but for he it was already too late.

Clutched at by trouble, his faith cried for help but

Never did he receive the comfort he requested for, he wept with his wife

For their old heavenly life, that they never had truly appreciated.

He felt that not a penny would be freed, for when his

Dead body is found sleeping in the earth-hall, screaming for peace

And nothing but tranquility, for his transcending sins.

The living sorrow of life, simmered in his eyes.

Now with nothing to provide for his family, he was left with no glory

Nor pride. For his life was nothing but morbid, of sweet memories

He wept of, sweet memories he dreamt of. All this lasted as a dream.

A dream that could never buy him his true gold, the happiness that had

Once lasted in the family. His true sin, he finally saw was

Not seeing the value of his jewel, until it was surely lost in time.

Thus he was not gifted to carry solace, until he gasped for air.

The tears in his eyes, the dream in his pearl-white smile

All portrayed the world of what was to come, when one lives with fear.
