Listening To Mom Sing

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 05, 2016 / 4,865 views

When I was a teenager I used to take long walks in the woods behind our home. I found it a great way to clear my head, a good way to calm my spirit, and a wonderful way to connect to something greater than myself. I cherished the peace that it gave me. As I was walking back to our house one day, I heard something that gave me even more peace than my stroll through the forest had. A window of our...

Why It's OK To Be Average

By Gregory on May 05, 2016 / 4,567 views

A bird can just be a bird. When the sun rises it isn't accompanied by a feeling of dread. It's daily tasks are solely comprised of being a bird and being a bird still. Humans are a problem. There's no place for us. I cant just go out into the woods and be a human. But then again, I have a taste of the finer things and I'm an enlightened person that doesn't care to live in the...

I Just Risked Everything

By Mike Baker on May 04, 2016 / 4,597 views

I’m a 26 year-old fitness professional. I just risked everything. I came into this industry as a young, hungry 21-year old. Growing up, I was never the hardest worker or the most motivated guy in the world. When I started working, all of that changed. I had a spark. I was doing something I loved and felt like I finally had a purpose. I felt like I had making up to do. I took on every client,...

Some time ago, when the ice-creams were not so expensive, a ten-year boy went to Nirula’s ice-cream shop. While sitting at the table, he asked the waiter "How much does a Sundae cost?" "Rs. 40" he replied. The boy took out his money from the pocket and began counting it. "Well how much does a simple ice-cream cost?" There were other people waiting to be...

You Are You

I sometimes see myself I think stop it there are people in the world that have it worse then you. But then I think can I ever just complain? I think life is hard it always will be but it's how we deal with problem we can complain all we want but think is it really worth it?

How To Stop Seeking Approval From Others

By Michael on April 28, 2016 / 2,434 views

When you live your life for the purpose of other people's approval...who's life are you living? When you dress, talk, and act in a certain way just to make someone "like you"...you're not free. The problem is many of us seek the approval of other people, and as a result we live a life according to other people's standards instead of our own. It is obvious when someone is doing...

What CKY Has Taught Me

By SeanEboy on April 27, 2016 / 3,325 views

It has been a while since I have found inspiration to write. It is too easy to write without having real perspective or purpose thus creating something bland without any true insight. Recently I have been running into late-teens-early-20’s nostalgia. College, friends lost, things I should’ve done and others I probably shouldn’t have. Though this is not a unique phenomenon, I recently read an...

The Beauty Of The Soul

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 26, 2016 / 4,955 views

I was walking into the store today to buy a bar of soap. I had no idea why I had forgotten it on my regular shopping trip but my soap bar was now down to the size of a quarter so I had to get one. I wasn’t in a hurry so instead of heading right to it, I found myself walking among the aisles amazed at all the products. There were several brands of soap and bottles of liquid soap too. There were shampoos...

It's Just A Ride

By Bill Hicks on April 25, 2016 / 4,470 views

"The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question:...

You Are Dead

By CAP034 on April 25, 2016 / 3,949 views

One day you are going to die. It might not be today, it might not be a year from now. It will happen, though. The problem is that some of you are already dead. You died the moment you decided what ever lesser standard that is killing you is what you will settle for. You committed spiritual suicide the second you ceased the progress or drive that was previously sending you to your dreams. When you...

Baseball Sisters

By A.J. Richard on April 22, 2016 / 2,593 views

My short term goal was easy. I aimed to be well conditioned and prepared to play baseball respectably at fantasy camp. The long term goal was more difficult. What kind of long term goal would be realistic for a 44 year-old just getting started actually playing baseball? Eventually, I decided my long term goal was to play in a women's baseball tournament. I had no idea my long term goal would be...

I wake up thinking of you and I do the same as I drift off to sleep at night. Everyday I find one new thing that makes loving you a blessing. Although I don't say it as often as I should, I want you to know I love you with all my heart. No matter what you are going through, and no matter where life takes you, I'll remain your number one fan because, you've made me happier, content and beautiful....

Sassy

By Joseph J. Mazzella on April 20, 2016 / 4,265 views

After battling health problems for over two years my son’s beloved cat, Dusty passed away. I held her in my arms as she breathed her last breath and with a heavy heart carried her gently up to the woods behind our home to bury her. As the days passed it seemed strange not hearing my son, JJ talking to Dusty in his room. He handled her loss better than me, though. His beautiful, simple,...

These should help us make the best of what life has to offer. "To always be thankful for life" should be our primary goal, and to enjoy it with all its ups and downs, pain and suffering.
