When someone is vicious toward you, 

they are giving you a glimpse of the pain they carry in themselves.

"I'm always sad."

"Are there certain thoughts associated with sadness?"

"No, the sadness is under the thoughts. It's like when you're on a camping trip, and it's really cold, and you put on extra socks, and an extra sweater, but you still can't get warm, because the coldness is in your bones".

"Do you hope to get away from it?"

"Not anymore. I just hope to come to peace with it."

LIFE is truly something so beautiful that it should never be taken for granted,

some people are filled up with so much negativity that they can't see it.

The longer he looks into your eyes
the more he is interested in you. 

If he can't look into your eyes long enough,
there is a great chance that he just wants to conquer you.
After that, he will leave you.

The courage within you.

The courage not to bow to pressure,

the courage to stand alone, 

the courage to maintain one's determination,

the courage to look deep into one's heart, 

and confront one's own cowardice and prejudice,

the courage to challenge difficulties

Those who possess these kind of courage are true victors.

Empowerment

Praising others is not pampering them. 

In a stress-filled society, words that warm the heart are more significant than ever. 

They sustain and strengthen others, inspiring them to strive toward personal growth.

Gone With The Wind

I wish you were a stain

but you are so easily changed.

Like a spineless feather

the wind blows you away.

Falling down like snowflakes

when I needed you to stay.

I swim upstream

and you are gone with the tide.

I learn that people never change

they just learn how to hide.

A Glass of Water

A psychologist walked around the room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they would be asked the 'half empty or half full' question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz to 20 oz.

She replied, "The absolute weight does not matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass does not change, but the longer I hold it the heavier it becomes".

She continued, "The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they began to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralysed - incapable of doing anything".

It is important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down.

The phoenix hope, can wing her way through the desert skies,

and still defying fortune's spite,

revive from ashes and rise.
