Don't turn back...

When things are tough
Don’t turn back
Muster your courage
And stay strong
And walk forward…
Yes, even if you are feeling hopeless
Empty and lonely
Just walk forward

This is time you must listen your inner self
Your guiding higher power
The negative voices may try to cripple you
And ask you to turn back
Give up and accept defeat
It will tell you, you are never good enough
And remind you of all your failures
Did I not tell you?
You can never be successful,
You will never measure up to anything
You are never loved
Go back.. turn back.. why bother
You are not good enough…

Don’t give in to your negative voice
Don’t let it take control..
Continue to have faith
Faith is believing in what you don’t see
Continue to walk forward..
If things are really bad
Take a rest..
But don’t turn back..
Keep walking forward..
You are this close to walking out
Walking out of the dark tunnel
Where you have been for many days,
Sometimes may be months or years..
Our creator can see how far you have walked forward..
For he has a bird’s eye view..
Not you or me..
So have faith and continue to walk forward..
When things get tough
It’s not the time to turn back..

Don't turn back - its not the time...

Are you looking for Happiness?


So you want to be happy?
looking for happiness?
Most of us do..
But do you know what happiness means to you?
What does happiness really mean to you?
Have you thought about this?
Not to your parents, not to your family
Not to the world..
But to you?
Do you have an idea..
What makes your heart glow..
Okay most people say that they would be happy if they win the lottery..
But what are the real chances of that..
Many and many depart without ever winning the lottery..
So what if you never win the lottery…
Think.. think.. think.. what will make you happy?
Sometimes, they are the little things…
Not necessary big things..
Things that you cant find around you…
Talking to a close friend..
Having a giggle
Or a belly laugh..
Being silly.. yes.. really silly…
Reading a book
Going out for a coffee with your girl friend..
Listening to your favourite music
Going for a walk..perhaps walking with your bare feet..
Making a garland from wild flowers
Chasing butterflies..
Eating vanilla ice-cream – huum, make a double scoop
These are simple joys in life..
That will make your heart sing
Bring a simile to your face
Dance your in your own tune..
Who cares what people might think…
Skip when you walk..
Know what makes YOU.. happy..
Then do some every single day..
Make it a priority to be happy
Make a commitment
Find your happiness
And start living it today…
What does happiness really mean to you?

Soul Searching


Do you know YOU?
Huum... you would wonder what sort of question is this
Don’t I know me?

Yes, I ask you again – Do you know YOU?
The real you?
Huum... you might think.. I am living and breathing..
I am paying bills, and taking care of my children
I am this and that.. holding a job, I cook and clean..
How real can I be..

I ask again.. Do your know your real SELF?
Do you know your spirit?
Okay now I don’t mean that haunted type of spirit
Do you know your soul?
Which is your real self?
The very core of YOU
The gem inside of you
Your truest self? Your sparkling self?
The one that will truly make you happy

Okay its possible your soul is buried with so much junk
It is mental junk you have collected from past..
You have no place to dump.. so you dump it on yourself
Days, weeks, months and years go by..
Soon you have buried your soul..
You no longer can find your soul..
You are missing something..
So you look outside..
For him, for her..
For stuff, yes, all kinds of stuff
Your mind tells you.. go get this..
You run.. then it says.. oh..no.. try this..
You run again.. then it says.. huuum.. may be not..
Oh.. may be you should try this…
Here you go again.. run.. run..
left, right, forward and backward...
Like a little puppy dog..
And which ever direction you run
You can’t find it..
So now you are sitting.. and thinking
I have done everything, looked everywhere
My credit cards are all maxed
My house is full of stuff
But still something is missing
I got married, or I got divorced
I even had children
I finished my degree.. and got another one
I thought a masters would help
I got a house.. it has a back yard pool
Oh.. I even re-did the deck
I got the office I wanted.. got a great view
I am looking outside..
But yet it feels empty..
Something is missing..

STOP
Breath…
Be nice to your self…
Look within…
Deep…clean your internal self..
Do what you must do..
It might take some time..
Depending on how much trash you have dumped on yourself..
Find your inner self..
Some may call this your higher power..
Some godly self..
Some soul or spirit..
Find it.. take it out..
Clean it and polish it..
Let your life reflect your soul
Let your mind and body be in sync with your beautiful soul
The your truest self
Your most authentic self
Bit by bit you will notice..
That what you were really missing
Was your OWN SOUL
And nothing else..

Happy soul searching folks…
