If You See Something Beautiful In Someone, Speak It

By Jitensingh on March 31, 2017 / 5,211 views

Dale Carnegie have said "The Most Important goal of anyone's life is to feel Important". But unfortunately the world doesn't allow people to feel important easily. I mentioned easily because you as a individual can feel important but there are so many standards have been elevated by people and society and industry that can be explained in this way, if you have certain body shape you can feel...

Don't Quit

By John Greenleaf Whittier on March 30, 2017 / 12,799 views

By John Greenleaf Whittier on March 30, 2017 / 12,799 views

"When things go wrong, as they sometimes will; When the road you're trudging seems all uphill; When the funds are low and the debts are high; And you want to smile but you have to sigh. When all is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint on the clouds of doubt;...

I Really Put Myself Out There For The First Time In Years And She Said Yes

By Tsaketh on March 29, 2017 / 3,683 views

Not silver lining, but for context: my fiancee left me in 2015 for a married man she met on Facebook. It killed me. My GPA dropped from 3.8 to 2.0 and I suffered an academic suspension. I slipped into a series of major depressive episodes and could barely speak. That's not an exaggeration. She was the only person I had ever loved. 5 years later she left me out of the blue six months before we were to be...

So I Looked Up My Ex Online...

By Anonymous on March 29, 2017 / 4,030 views

I remember having a horrific breakup 4 years ago when I was 25. I was moving in with my boyfriend, talking about getting engaged in a few months, we were inseparable, and then one day he just told me he was leaving. No explanation. He blocked everyone we knew on social media (myself included), packed his bags and flew to another country almost overnight. His housemate told me later he refused to say goodbye...

A Positive Turn Of Events

By GameSnark on March 29, 2017 / 3,009 views

The last few years have been difficult ones. Between leaving my hometown, friends, and family except for my wife behind; and doing it all for a job which is a hostile workplace, I've really struggled with finding positive things to say. Finally, though, things are really looking up! I'll be leaving my job in a handful of weeks in order to move my wife and I closer to family; this morning, I...

Decision

By Miss Ehl on March 29, 2017 / 3,728 views

To get the things you want in life, you must decide what you really want and have a clear reasons why you want it. I never thought I would be thankful for the last minute. My parents is the typical mother-father who looks for their child every day. But somehow, I got tired of it. I felt useless because of the rules and unwanted situations they are imposing to me. Back then, everything that I do was to follow...

The Importance Of Being Nice

By Sonia Kaur on March 29, 2017 / 5,470 views

Have you ever think of importance of being nice? Nobody thinks about this because we all have a myth that if we become nice then people start using us and if they use us then so what happened they are making their own karma, ignore them and be nice because you are born nice and What's wrong with being nice? You have to love, you have to forgive, you have to ready to always help etc. God has made everybody...

One Person

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 27, 2017 / 4,357 views

In his many books and lectures the great educator, Leo Buscaglia showed us time and again how the love of just one person can change a life and change the world. I remember especially his story about the noted psychologist, Dr. Skeels. In the early 20th century orphaned children were often warehoused in badly understaffed institutions where they received little if any attention or love. At one time...

I Don't Know

By Rick on March 27, 2017 / 3,594 views

Life is strange at best. Many don't get along. Many reach out and help others in need. Many just take for themselves. I have taken, given, helped, and been helped, and not gotten along. What feels good to my ego is great, but hollow compared to making another feel good. Why is that? Have you noticed that? I don't know what it means though. Maybe we aren't alone. Maybe we are connected somehow....

The 6 Seconds Rule

By Carlinha on March 27, 2017 / 2,283 views

Ever since I was a kid I had a 6 second rule. That means that if I had something I needed to do but didn't want to, I'd count till 6 and do it anyway. My personal rule was to just never ever break that rule, that at 6, I HAD to get it going. Most of the time I'd use it to get out of bed or get out of the bath. Sometimes I'd also use it to restrict my time playing "ok in 6...

Teaching You

By Jackson Kiddard on March 25, 2017 / 2,477 views

Anything that annoys you is teaching you patience. Anyone who abandons you is teaching you how to stand up on your own two feet. Anything that angers you is teaching you forgiveness and compassion. Anything that has power over you is teaching you how to take your power back. Anything you hate is teaching you unconditional love. Anything you fear is teaching you courage to overcome your fear. Anything you...

Keep Fighting

By Daniell Keopke on March 25, 2017 / 2,065 views

Don't allow the negative things in your life to discount the positive ones. Don't let a bad day or month or year make you feel like you have a bad life. Instead of focusing on everything that's going wrong, start holding onto all of the things that are going right. You may be struggling, but there is still so much to keep fighting for — there is still so much more to life than this pain. And...

We Are What We Repeatedly Do

By King William Kent on March 24, 2017 / 5,262 views

Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit." To possess any desirable character trait, you must start acting and thinking as if you already have it. When your thoughts and actions align with your ideals, your self-esteem will soar. If excellence is important to you, pay incredibly close attention to this quote. Because -...

Life, Love, And Tough Choices

By Anonymous on March 24, 2017 / 2,089 views

When I was younger, I used to think that love was like a Disney movie. At first seemed hard, but they got better and never got bad again. I thought as a little kid that relationships were easy, and everyone would like us, and that nothing was bad in the world. Boy was I in for a rude awakening. We all want to think that everything is perfect, we all want to think that the world is a good place and that all...

Wishing all A happy 'World Water Day' Simple message, Conserve and preserve water for the future generations. Water: (A Poetry Attempt) Without you not being with us, certainly does matter, The globe will die away if there's not enough water.

Because Of Him

One day in Elementary school a couple of girls were teasing me. A young boy walked up to them and poliety asked them to stop, and they all walked away. The boy and girl became good friends. One day they were playing together in the schoolyard when a small dog walked into the school grounds. The boy checked the collar. "Misty" is what it read. He helped to get it out of the gate so it wouldn't get...

What Went Right

By Joseph J. Mazzella on March 20, 2017 / 4,932 views

Today I made the mistake of turning the news on. I found my senses instantly assaulted with stories of fighting politicians, corrupt corporations, and countless crimes. It seemed like the only news worth showing was mankind at its very worst. It seemed like the only thing they wanted to talk about was what went wrong today. After a few minutes I turned the television back off. I poured myself a...
