So for my post for today, I thought I’d share some of my reflections from this year. I took a quick sca
n of my Facebook timeline, and here are some of my statuses from this year:
Change is inevitable and the only thing constant in life. It takes courage and willingness to dance to its fine tune. May all the changes in our lives be a vehicle for growth and bring us closer to our purposes…
Life is precious, delicate and unpredictable. Make the most of your health and time.
Love. Love one another as though tomorrow is not promised
If someone loves you, uplifts you, and shows genuine care for your wellbeing, keep them close and appreciate them.
Not being strong is not being weak, but human. It’s okay to depend on and accept help from others. We all need shoulders to lean on from time to time.
Not everyone is intuitive, nor a mind reader. People won’t know the needs you won’t show. Stop expecting, and let people know what you need or how they can be there for you.
Patience is a virtue. Things may get rough, but truly, when you’re patient, doors start opening and things eventually work out.
When you feel overwhelmed, focus on those who are worse off than you and start counting your blessings. Gratitude will get you far.
Live. Live your life so that you have no regrets. Say what you want to say and do what you want to do. Time won’t always be on your side.
Sometimes, in trying to help others, we think of what it is we would like and try to give that to those we want to help out… but often times, it’s best just to be present and to listen… it means more than anything you may give.
There’s nothing like good friendship that expands over years, even when time and distance drifts you apart.
Promises/agreements are meant to be fulfilled. If you don’t plan on fulfilling them, don’t make them. Respect your words
Life is full of opportunities. We just have to seize them when they’re available, pursue them when they’re not, and say yes when it comes knocking on our doors.
When everyone has a paradigm shift from an ‘us vs them’ mentality to an ‘us and we’ mentality, then and only then will the world be a better place. But so long as we focus on our appeared differences, we’re always going to have problems…
Everyone on Facebook is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Never assume that just because someone has lively status updates and uploads captivating pictures that their life is a bowl of cherries – perfect and all. It may be that this person is going through a hellish time but they chose to compartmentalize their life so their life is not tainted by the stress in their life. In reality, their life is just like yours: Life – a roller coaster ride with both good and bad times. No one life is perfect – we all have our battles and struggles. A person shouldn’t have to air their dirty laundry in order for others to understand they are also going through rough times. Be happy for others, remember that EVERYONE is fighting a battle, live your life and more importantly, smile more often. Life is too short to be upset.
