Learn how to change your mood. At a certain point, you'll want to shift from a negative mood into a positive one. Otherwise your thinking may get stuck on how bad things are, and that can drag you down into feeling worse. Try doing things that make you happy, even if you don't feel like it at the time. For example, you might not be in the mood to go out after a breakup, but going for a walk or watching a funny movie with friends can lift you out of that negative space.

Why Happiness Matters Happiness is more than a good feeling or a yellow smiley face. It's the feeling of truly enjoying your life, and the desire to make the very best of it. Happiness is the "secret sauce" that can help us be and do our best. Here's what researchers found when they studied happy people: Happy people are more successful. Happy people are better at reaching goals. Happy people are healthier. Happy people live longer. Happy people have better relationships. Happy people learn better.
Loving yourself is something every person needs at least at some point in their lives. I believe that loving yourself is one of the joyous things in your life. If you’re happy with who you are then it’s easier to love and be loves by someone else. It helps ease the mind and there are not stresses on your shoulders worrying about what others think of you. You must love yourself before you can love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy. When I’m feeling good about myself my day goes by so much better. I am a humble person and love to have a good time, for example when I get a new outfit I feel confident and want to go out and socialize with others. It could be something as simple as clothes, or even getting your hair done. But it doesn’t have to be something to do with accessorizing or getting new clothes. It can come from within maybe a hobby you like to do, writing, reading anything that makes you happy will give you the...
Everyone must have purpose for his life, so first of all a method and skill to achieve success is to setting your goal. In order to determine the goals that matter to you, and you will use in your plan, make a list of everything you wish or dream to achieve in various areas of your life thought this dream whatever small or large and type it on paper. Writing all your goals on paper at this stage will expand the horizon of your thinking, so do not try thinking and how you will achieve these goals; because thinking will reduce and limit your belief in your ability to achieve them. Also, when you write a list of your goals you will start to see new opportunities in life were not see before, and you will find yourself attracted to these opportunities.
Don’t let success go to your head. Be humble. Humility is a sign of strength, not weakness. People with humility possess an inner peace. They’re modest about their achievements, grounded in their values, and they have nothing to prove to others. They’re down to earth, comfortable in their own skin, and quietly proud. Humble people shift their focus from taking to giving, from talking about themselves to listening to others, from hoarding the credit to deflecting the praise, and from being a “know-it-all” to knowing there’s so much more in life worth learning. There’s no ego, no pretense, and certainly no gamesmanship. Humble people are authentic. As C.S. Lewis said, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.”
Am I ugly as the people say? Why don't I have any friends? Why is the world so hard to live in? What do I look like in other peoples eyes? Why don't I have the same colour of the skin as everyone else? How can I make others happy? The questions does not stop. You ask those questions over and over again. When you don't have any answers, you want to scream out loud or cry. Bullying? Racism? What are all these? I don't understand what people get from making others unhappy and upset. Every single one of you there in the world have your own beauty. EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL.... So don't sit there saying I'm ugly say I`m PRETTY or HANDSOME instead. Be strong and face these saddo people around the world. Not everyone gets to live and those who do are sooo lucky!
Difficulties test the courage, patience, perseverance and true character of a human being. Adversity and hardships make a person strong and ready to face the challenges of life with equanimity. There is no doubt that there can be no gain without pain. It is only when one toils and sweats it out that success is nourished and sustained.
Happiness, sorrow, victory, defeat, day-night are the two sides of the me coin. Similarly life is full of moments of joy, pleasure, success and comfort punctuated by misery, defeat, failures and problems. There is no human being on Earth, strong, powerful, wise or rich, who has not experienced, struggle, suffering or failure.
A lot of times we get so focused on our big dreams and goals, that we forget to enjoy this journey called life. Always remember that life is all about this moment. Life is all about the journey and less about the destination. So take a deep cleansing breath and allow yourself to be present in everything you do. Allow yourself to enjoy each second of your life – to observe the world around you, the people present in your life and the beauty that is present within and all around you…
Smiling is contagious. We all have our own battles to fight. Each one of us! And sometimes all a person needs is a smile to reassure them that everything will be OKAY (because it will be). Maybe one smile can reassure that girl who sits beside you in the class, that someone sees her - that someone actually cares. Maybe one smile to a stranger you walk by in town today is all it will take to turn that rainy cloud hanging over him into a bright shining sun.
Parents are the role models of their kids; they are the one who we look up to. So they should also teach their children the important lessons of life like how to value your cultural beliefs and giving them the real education first. Since education is most important in today's lives, kids should definitely educate themselves and make a career but they should never forget their culture and family neither should they disobey them. Study hard but don't be someone to question your identity. Educate yourselves in way people will respect you. Don't be embarrassed or feel ashamed by their lack of education, at least they know the value of culture and family. And nobody is perfect, but if education can empower people and make a difference in the world we should definitely make the most of it. There is always an opportunity cost in everything that's why we should educate ourselves so we can make the best choice.
The most important reason why love could hlep the hungry problem around the world is the fact that love ties people together in a way to help each other. First of all, feellings such as, caring about others and helping each other is also included in love. Besides, someone moved by that magic feelling are more likely to do little actions that today's are being more and more rare. For example, to join a non-governamental institute that help people with hungry or even feeding someone who need food is a simple actitude that this feelling insentive people to do. Secondly, the spirit of sharing is not very comum in todays world. In fact, people tend to be more selfish and caring less about others. However, love flourish that felling and make people more likely to share what they have. For instance, sharing the half a lanche with someone who do not have or even giving a piece of a fruit are actitudes that people moved by love often do. Therefore, love incentive people do help solving soci...
Pain is an everlasting feeling we won't be able to change even if we feel like, it will haunt us for the good or for the bad. In my opinion, I recommend you learn from it anytime in all sorts of ways in relationship, work, outside anywhere. The only way you defeat it is by getting stronger every day, a lot of people feel pain and give up easily without trying to get over it except talking. It seems to be unhuman to accomplish it but it is the truth if you become stronger you will gain more advantages in the future so do not take everything to heart just learn from it.
What to Do: 1. Be positive . Picture your dream partner and what they will be like. Make a list of traits and remember that personality traits are more important that physical, though those are important as well. Wake up every morning seeing the day ahead as an opportunity to better yourself and your life, while at the same time helping others as well. 2. Improve yourself. Learn a language, read more (find the types of books that you are passionate about, there are books for EVERYONE!), stay busy and make your life great. If there are negative people/bullies, in your life, slowly start distancing yourself from them. It may feel a little awkward at first, but you will flourish in your new positive environment. 3.Be proactive. Most people take a passive role when it comes to love. I think of it as a numbers game; if you are moving about in circles of people like you (same interests, values, etc.) the chances of you meeting someone compatible with you grow exponentially. I...
"It’s very important for people to remember that anger is powerful. So is selfishness along with cruelty. However, kindness overpowers all. You may think your kindness makes a difference for other people only, but it doesn’t. What comes around goes around, and your act will be returned. Your most important reward is knowing how much you just helped someone in need. You feel satisfaction knowing that you might have saved someone’s day, week, or even life. What you have really been given is the most precious gift you can receive, the gift of kindness. Everyone is capable of being kind. Everyone can help. The real question is, why don’t we? This should not be a question. Kindness should come automatically. It should be common rather than a rarity. We can make this happen and do something kind today."
Sometimes we show our love when we are quiet and do not say a word, at the other times – we speak loud to express it. Sometimes we show our love by impulsiveness. Many times we have to show our love when we forgive someone. The problem with our world is that people don’t learn to listen to each other. They hear the words, but they don’t listen to the actions that accompany the words and do not mind the expression on the face.
Why is it so difficult to love?
More often than not, people are not ready to express what they feel. It is this that makes them stay away from the love. You do not have to be so busy in life that you never let yourself love other beings. Love can be for anyone. It can be your pet, your friend, sister, brother, parents and others. You have to attempt to get away from feelings of jealousy, hatred and revenge. Such feelings tear you apart and make you ill as well. Instead you should forget the hurt that has been given to you and learn to forgive and forget things that do not make you happy.
Everyone always says that when you meet that one person you are supposed to be with the rest of your life that you will know that they are the one the instant you meet him or her. For some of us that will never happen, but for the lucky people that it does happen to it is the greatest feeling in the world.
Does your life have meaning? To find out, rate the items below on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), then add up your score. a) I rarely go wrong when I follow my instincts b) I usually trust my hunches c) I can usually tell whether or not somebody is right d) My first impressions of people are usually pretty accurate e) It’s important to trust your feelings when making important decisions If you scored 20 or more, then congratulations: your life has meaning. Of course things aren’t quite that simple. But a recent study conducted at the University of Missouri found that people who gave higher scores on a short faith-in-intuition questionnaire (similar to the one above) were also more likely to strongly agree with statements such as: “My life has a clear sense of purpose .”
Before I became strong, I knew what it was like To be weak, How difficult it is to love yourself, To find the wholeness that you seek. Before I knew the light, I have had my fair share of darkness, too, Where my world fell into a hopelessness And I didn't know how to get through. For I have known the tears it takes, The courage to stand up again, When you are broken down and bruised And you know nothing but the pain. You forget to appreciate love, If you haven't seen the hate, Till you forget the meaning of smile and laughter, And your heart is left abate. I have known the strength and courage It requires to get it right, To face the things that hold you down And hold your head up and fight. Before I was who I am now, I was someone I didn't want to be. I was lost, battered, and defeated, Before I knew how to be me!
To some people February 14th is just another day. For me this is a day to take time and say... I love you. Stop, and think what we've been through and how much are love as grew. Yes, we fight, And I've lied, But never forget for you I would die. Everyday I see your beautiful, smiling face, And there are moments that I stare and you take my breath away, and leave me with nothing to say, On this special day, I ask myself how it is possible to love a person so much. My heart has been permanently touched. All the tears and pain seem to go away. The pieces of my heart that were chiseled away, you make them ok. Once there was a deep dark hole nobody could touch, Until you came and filled it with all your love. On this special day I want you to know, I love you, More than I could write down, tell, explain or even try to show, In this life or the next. I've done things I regret, And they hurt you inside and made you c...
As we watch the sun go down, I want to let you know; my love for you is forever, I'll never let you go. You're the one I've been searching for, the one I've finally found; without you in my life, my world wouldn't go round. The love you bring into my heart, which is so true and kind; is something in no other, I could truly find. You're the only one for me, God tells me so, deep within my heart, mind body and soul. Today isn't just an ordinary Valentines Day, it's all about me and you; about the love we share, and how it will forever continue to grow. It's not all about the chocolates, or the dozen roses; it's about the love we found, how much we've been blessed. Everything happens for a reason, I believe this statement is true, that's why you were sent to me, and I was sent to you. I've never been more happy, as I've been with you; even through the rough times, we always ...
In the glad springtime when leaves were green, O merrily the throstle sings! I sought, amid the tangled sheen, Love whom mine eyes had never seen, O the glad dove has golden wings! Between the blossoms red and white, O merrily the throstle sings! My love first came into my sight, O perfect vision of delight, O the glad dove has golden wings! The yellow apples glowed like fire, O merrily the throstle sings! O Love too great for lip or lyre, Blown rose of love and of desire, O the glad dove has golden wings! But now with snow the tree is grey, Ah, sadly now the throstle sings! My love is dead: ah! well-a-day, See at her silent feet I lay A dove with broken wings! Ah, Love! ah, Love! that thou wert slain - Fond Dove, fond Dove return again!
I am in need of music that would flow Over my fretful, feeling fingertips, Over my bitter-tainted, trembling lips, With melody, deep, clear, and liquid-slow. Oh, for the healing swaying, old and low, Of some song sung to rest the tired dead, A song to fall like water on my head, And over quivering limbs, dream flushed to glow! There is a magic made by melody: A spell of rest, and quiet breath, and cool Heart, that sinks through fading colors deep To the subaqueous stillness of the sea, And floats forever in a moon-green pool, Held in the arms of rhythm and of sleep.
I could never have dreamt that there were such goings-on in the world between the covers of books, such sandstorms and ice blasts of words, such staggering peace, such enormous laughter, such and so many blinding bright lights, splashing all over the pages in a million bits and pieces all of which were words, words, words, and each of which were alive forever in its own delight and glory and oddity and light.
The Years have passed by, In the blink of an eye, Moments of sadness, And joy have flown by. People I loved, Have come and have gone, But the world never stopped, And we all carried on. Life wasn't easy, And the struggles were there, Filled with times that it mattered, Times I just didn't care. I stood on my own, And I still found my way, Through some nights filled with tears, And the dawn of new days. And now with old age, It's become very clear, Things I once found important, Were not why I was here. And how many things, That I managed to buy, Were never what made me, Feel better inside. And the worries and fears, That plagued me each day, In the end of it all, Would just fade away. But how much I reached out, To others when needed, Would be the true measure, Of how I succeeded. And how much I shared, Of my soul and my heart, Would ultimately be, What set me apart. And what's really important, Is my opinion of me, And whether or not, I'm the best I can be. And how...
Sometimes I feel like everything in the world could be going wrong all at once. I feel so overwhelmed and frustrated. I think that nothing will ever go right and that I should just give up, but I believe that if I stay strong in all that I do, I can overcome anything. Anything is possible if you believe. A few days ago I was struggling with a lot of things in my life. My school work was piled up with essays and projects and I had multiple exams to take. I needed to pack for the weekend because I was leaving to go visit my family. On top of all that, I had four of my good friends, back at home in California, pass away. It was really hard for me to understand why all this was occurring to me all at once. I felt like I had done something wrong and because of that my whole life was going insane. I wanted to give up on everything right then and there. For a while, I didn’t care much for schoolwork or for my exams. Even knowing that if I failed ...
