Never Give Up

As I grow older I learn more yet know less about life. I can remember when young I was convinced I knew everything. What a roller coaster ride life becomes. No one is safe from the highs and lows we experience on a daily basis. Money and fame can not protect you from the sorrow of losing loved ones. Nor will it make your life as comfortable as most think.

Life remains relative to belief. What you believe about yourself and your life is most important, not the daily events or problems that touch all of us. Giving up on yourself is not an option. Modifying, changing your beliefs is the path to healing. Rekindle your curiosity, inherent in all individuals, and try new ways to think about life in general.

Practice being positive. Use affirmations to help you change negative beliefs into positive ones. You will be amazed how well it works if you just keep using them. Forgive the insults and problems others put in your path and stay positive. In the long haul you will benefit greatly. Never give up.

Forgive…

Hi Leroy..
With so much insidious hatred being spread around…here is a little poem to share with you to perhaps balance with love instead…

FORGIVE….

Forgive, some know not what they do

Forgive, some know exactly what they do

But either way perhaps we might just see

That they are in desperate need for kind reprieve

If God can offer such a supreme sacrifice of love

Can we not offer too the peace of a dove

If we cannot but turn the other cheek

Or be the first to give others the final speak

Especially when they are aching to fight

Can we not be the one to show them our Light

Perhaps theirs have been beatened, its flicker now quite dim

From so many hurts or tears of pain inflicted from anothers whim

Can we not be the one to stretch out first our hand

Take a purposeful step of peace towards where they stand

Or give them a more compassionate understanding

From our hearts eyes that sees beyond their gang branding

For in each instant we avert a hatred with our love

We may be just what their soul was aching for sent from above

And isnt true that what we see in our brothers

Is perhaps our own reflection as we are really One with all Others

So let us strive to Forgive…

Some may know or not what they do

But you have a choice in what you choose too.

Thanks for reading. Am so Grateful for You and the Love that you are and share, always.

Hugs, gisl

About Life

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat. Relax . . .
And read this slowly.

I Believe…
That just because two people argue,
It doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue,
It doesn’t mean they do love each other.

I Believe…
That we don’t have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.

I Believe….
That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe….
That no matter how good a friend is,
they’re going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe…
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I Believe…
That even when you think you have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you –
you will find the strength to help.

I Believe…
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe….
That you can keep going long after you think you can’t.

I Believe….
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe…
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe…
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe…
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I Believe…
That sometimes when I’m angry
I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe….
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had, and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.

I Believe….
That it isn’t always enough,
to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe….
That it’s taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.

I Believe…
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I Believe….
That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe…
That you shouldn’t be so eager to find
Out secrets. It could change your life Forever.

I Believe….
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.

I Believe…
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don’t even know you.

I Believe….
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe…
That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe…
That the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

I Believe…
That you should send this to
all of the people that you believe in, I just did.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily
have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything they have.

Think of Forgiveness

Forgiveness.

To give up resentment, and claim to retribution for a loss or insult.

Forgiveness is something you do for yourself. When you forgive, it is you that receives the blessing. Practice by saying: “I forgive you world, and all people, for everything harmful I believe you have done to me.” Forgiveness releases the emotions of fear, anger, hate, and guilt we build up in our relationships with others. It allows us the put the hurt behind and go bravely into the future. The person who most deserves your forgiveness is yourself. Forgive yourself frequently for all those things you believe you screwed up. Say: “I forgive myself, I accept myself, I love myself.” Say it often.

“Forgiveness is the final form of love.”

Reinhold Niebuhr,
American theologian, 1892-1971
