Never give up !

There are days when you just feel like giving up. Days when you feel like nothing is working right, days when you can’t find a way, you get lost and lose hope that things will get better. Days when the pain is so hard to take that you just can’t even stay on your feet. You just want to run away as far and as fast as you can or you feel you want to give up on everything. Don’t ! Don’t ever let go! Never give up!

You feel like you can’t do it anymore but you can! You didn’t come here  to give up! You came here to live and do something with your life.

 Life is not always pink! It’s not easy and sometimes it’s not even fair! Maybe it’s your stressful job, you worked so much but you have nothing in return. Maybe it’s your partner, your children, some kind of illness you are fighting with or you are suffering from the loss of someone dear or maybe you just want that hand to hold on. There can be so much emotional pain in someone’s life that they feel overwhelmed and think of giving up.

 Do you really want to give up? To be defeated and just throw everything away? Life is a gift given to you so you need to hold on to it! There are people in this world who are living and enjoying life as much as they can. People who are happy and successful and you…YOU can be one of those people! Life is short so don’t give up just because you are afraid to try. Learn from your past and your mistakes.

 Sometimes there are moments when you are down and nobody notices. Some people are indifferent and just don’t realize or care. Don’t think of them…you have all you need to move on.  With time you will find good friends who will stay by your side.

 Each day is a chance!…an opportunity to a fresh start ! So pick yourself up because you didn’t come here to give up! You try, you fail, you try again! And when you hit bottom…the only way is UP! So stay strong and live your life to the fullest. Never give up!

 Get out in the world, do what you love, screw up, try again, screw up again, don’t let go, don’t give up, try again and succeed! Live and love each and every moment of your life!

The sun always comes up after the storm

It rained every day for almost three weeks. It was cold, dark, stormy and the
spring days seemed so far away. But today the sun is shining and it’s a
wonderful spring day with a clear blue sky!
What am I saying here? Well just something that we always forget… the sun
always comes up after the storm! Same thing happens in our life. So hang on !

Life sometimes gives you rainy days, storms even tornadoes. Sometimes we bring rainy days in our life through the bad decisions that we make and sometimes the rain just comes without us doing anything.
Maybe there are just some usual rainy days in your life or maybe you’re going through a big storm that turns everything upside down, gets you depressed, you lose hope and you feel like giving up. DON’T ! Don’t ever give up! It’s really important how you manage these rainy days and storms. What do they teach you? Is there something you need to learn from the storm in your life? Are things really as bad as you think?
Even if it rains and you can’t see the sun and everything looks hopeless. Be patient and don’t give up. The sun will shine again!

Be A Better Person

We all sometimes think of becoming a better person saying that starting tomorrow we will try to do that.  At the beginning of a new year you hear lots of people and maybe even you saying “this year I’ll try/want/wish to be a better person”.

 But…what does being a better person mean to you? Is it being nice to people around you? Helping them? Is it spending more time with family? with your children? Is it being kind and honest to you? Maybe you want to be a better friend, a better parent or a better sister or brother.

You can always be a better person but it won’t happen over night. You should take some time to look at yourself, to find out who you are, what you dislike about yourself. You have to decide what “a good person” is to you and then, strive to improve and become the person you want to be. Becoming a better person it’s not about transforming yourself into someone you’re not! It’s actually being the real you.  It may not be easy so be patient and don’t give up. Be persistent and keep challenging yourself every day to become the person you want!

I know people who went through some bad times, losing someone dear or some kind of illness which made them open their eyes and become better persons. Now they understand how precious, short and beautiful life is and they try to enjoy it every day. They see life, and they LIVE life! a thing they never did before. They were here but they were not really living.

Don’t wait for a bad thing to change you, decide to make that change today and become a better person.

In The Garden – A Dill Fantasy

I love waking up in the morning and walking in the garden. I love the sunrise, the fresh air and the feeling of a new start, a new day. But…the one thing I love the most in the morning is the dew on grass, flowers and vegetables.

Today… the star is the dill in the garden full of dew ! A dill fantasy.

Enjoy

That Moment

- that moment when you smile with every part of your body
- when you just can’t take that smile off your face just because you feel so great!
- when you remember a lovely moment from your childhood
- when you feel happy and proud of what you accomplish
- when you finally succeed
- that moment when you watch the sunrise with a cup of tea in your hand thinking how great that day’s going to be.
- when you’re just you! doing things you like
- the feeling when you walk barefoot through the grass full of dew on a lovely morning
- that moment when you hear your favorite song while you’re walking on the street
- when you see an old friend
- when you’re playing with your kids
- that moment when you’re playing with your pet
- when after the storm the sun comes up
- that moment when you fall in love
- that moment when you’re holding his/her hand
- that moment when you’re feeling larger than life and you’re having fun with your friends
- that lovely moment when you’re doing something great and you’re thinking “I’ll remember this for the rest of my life!”

Today’s all about happy moments in your life. Make sure you have special moments in every day of your life!

Make time for the ones you love !

Life it’s a great gift and if we know how, we can make it great. But sometimes life takes us by surprise. We don’t know for how long we’re going to be here or the ones around us. Life is crazy…today you are, tomorrow you’re not!

So make time for the ones you love. Treasure them! Try to tell them as often as you can what they mean to you. Spend time with your dear ones, your family, friends, your lovely pet.

Sometimes in our crazy life we might ignore them or forget the good times we spent together. Don’t do that…because those are the most important moments. Life’s short! Try not to fight with them and even if you do try to solve the problem and enjoy the time spent together. Sometimes life takes them away and you might not have the chance to tell them how much they mean to you. And there’s no turning back! once they are gone, they are gone…so don’t ignore this. Make time to spend with them and say or show how much you love them.

Make each moment spent together great and get the most of it!

Smile!

When you smile the world smiles back at you! What do you think? Is this true?! I think it is.

Smiling can definitely  make you happy and when you’re happy your body releases good endorphins that make you feel good. Isn’t smiling great? And so good for you.

Smiling doesn’t only make you feel good but it makes you attractive. People usually like happy people who smile often and can make others smile. Popular people always smile.

It’s really amazing when you’re walking down the street not in a good mood and you see someone smiling at you! You instantly feel better, smile back and somehow that smile changes your whole day.

Smiling makes other people happy like your friends and family. It’s great to see a friend’s smile and feel better.

If you smile you reduce stress. Every time you smile signals go to your brain that you’re happy even if you’re not. Some people go to laugh therapy. But you can always try this at home. Think of something funny that you did or watch a funny movie.

Smiling changes your view on things in your life and makes you healthy so don’t forget to SMILE!

What’s holding you back?

Have you ever wanted to do something that you really loved, really wanted but you didn’t? What stopped you? Was it what people might say or think? Was it fear? Fear of failing or fear of actually succeeding? What was it?

We often find ourselves in a position where we really want to do something but… we don’t do it because of different reasons and then, we feel bad and we regret not doing it.

So you’re afraid of what people might think…do you really think this is good? Why do you care so much? If people around you don’t understand what you do or what you want to do, what you like and they try to hold you back it’s not ok! People will always find something to disagree with what you’re doing.

Even if you do nothing they will still have something to say about it. So why worry?

If for example you want to follow a different career… let’s say you want to be a DJ. Do it! It’s your life not others. Do what you want, like, enjoy and think it’s good for you. Not what other people want you to do.

Fear of failing of not being good enough. So you failed! So what? Try again! And if you still don’t succeed at least you’ll know you did what you could, you tried. Now you can focus on a different thing.

Fear of succeeding. Some people think if they will succeed they won’t know what to do! Success is scary because it involves change, challenges and responsibilities. Identify your fears, deal with them and get to work.
