More To Do

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 08, 2016 / 0 views

It was a hot and humid day in July. I was driving to the local grocery store because the heat had made my bananas go from yellow to brown overnight. My air conditioner in my car was on high, but it still wasn’t cooling me down. Suddenly, the car in front of me signaled that it was pulling off. I pressed on the brakes and slowed down. Out of the corner of my eye I saw several teenagers standing in the...

You Must Not Quit

By Sunny Skyz on August 06, 2016 / 0 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 care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us...

Allow Things To Pass

By Sunny Skyz on August 06, 2016 / 6,095 views

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic; true power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you; breathe and allow things to...

Even The Darkest Clouds Have A Bright Side

By Oscar on August 05, 2016 / 0 views

I was on a long road trip recently through eastern Canada and I was watching a storm growing out over the ocean. It was around midday and I could see this drastic contrast between the bottom side of the clouds and the tops (due to the density of the clouds, and intensity of the storm). From where I was the tops of the clouds were so bright and incredible looking, but I could imagine being under them...

Second Chance

By Anne Moldez on August 04, 2016 / 0 views

What if one day, the one you trust, the one you love, the one who you think will be the last person will do you wrong, will be the first.. What will you feel? Disappointment.. for trusting too much. Hatred.. for making a fool out of you. Heartaches.. for loving him/her still despite everything that he/she do. Acceptance and forgiveness.. for...

The True Treasures

By Joseph J. Mazzella on August 02, 2016 / 0 views

There was a long line at the local convenience store the other day. Apparently the multi-state lottery prize had grown into the hundreds of millions again and people where lining up to buy tickets. As I waited to pay for my gas I wondered if I should fish the two extra dollars out of my wallet to buy a ticket myself. I thought for a second about all the things I could buy with that much money. Then I stopped...

Three Simple Ideas That Changed My Life

By Jockobutters on August 01, 2016 / 0 views

I've been wanting to write down these ideas for awhile in the hopes that someone else might find them useful. I know this sub has a tendency toward contrarianism, and I certainly do not intend these ideas to be "universal" - but just wanted to present these things that have personally worked for me and can maybe benefit someone else. If I slip into direct address and say "you" - I'm...

The Risk Might Be Worth It!

By Cloventongues on August 01, 2016 / 0 views

I planted two viable seeds in my backyard. They lay side by side in the fertile soil. The first says “I want to grow! I want to send my roots deep into the soil beneath me, and thrust my sprouts through the earth’s crust above me, I want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the blessing of the morning dew on my petals!” And she grew. The second seed says, “am afraid. If I send...

Too Much To Be Thankful For

By Happiness Is Easy on July 30, 2016 / 0 views

The world of abundance. We all dream of it. I guess that's the unifying characteristic of human race - imaging the perfect system in which each and every one of us is cared for in every possible way. And if some of don't dream it for everyone, all of us dream it for ourselves. Having everything we would ever need; not worrying about money and time, oblivious of problems. Yet, so many of us...

Giving Up?

By Jiahaowoo64 on July 29, 2016 / 0 views

I know it hurts, I know you just want to give up and tell yourself you tried your best, but is it really? You know you could go the extra mile, you know you could finish just another practice question, you know you could just endure the pain for another day, but you choose to give up? Are you kidding? You worked this hard to see all of your hard work down the drain just because you gave...

Avoid Conflicts, Stay Happy

By C M Reddy on July 28, 2016 / 0 views

"If you want to win over the adversaries or enemies, don't lock head to head. Just grow out beyond their reaches. You will be ever victorious." We have to live with our friends and adversaries equally. It is an inevitable condition where we have to face criticism or conflicts in our work places or business and professional arena. Don't pull the matters farther where the...

To Be The Strong One

By Life Lessons on July 26, 2016 / 0 views

Some of the difficult moments in life is giving someone a hug when you need it the most. Fighting back the tears in your eyes to wipe off someone else’s tears. Listening to somebody’s grief when you want your pain to be heard. Being the reason for someone’s smile when your own smile is lost. To bless someone else while you are going through your own...

Little Blinkers

By Joseph J. Mazzella on July 25, 2016 / 4,720 views

I was walking my beagle, Snoopy the other evening while the last light of the setting sun colored the clouds purple and pink. I looked up to the sky and smiled. After a minute Snoopy started pulling at her leash. She was more than ready to head inside for a bowl of dog food and a bacon treat. I wasn’t quite ready to go in yet, however, so I knelt down and patted her head. I was waiting for my friends the...

How To Be Present. Some Practical Advice

By Mtbclimber on July 25, 2016 / 1,935 views

A long time ago I read a book called the The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I will admit that I was not a fan of the mysticism but underneath all that there is a very simple and powerful message. Be "present" at all times. Unfortunately, the book wasn't exactly clear on how to do that. I was left knowing that I shouldn't be living in the past or future and also not letting my ego...

Kids Like You And Me

By The Bully Reject on July 25, 2016 / 2,720 views

When kids like you and me go into high school, they're gonna ask us what our career path will be like. Like in elementary school, when they said, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Remember? Anyway, then kids like you and me say, "I'll be (Insert dream job here)" And we think our lives suddenly becomes a Disney movie where we sing bibbity, bobbity, boo and our dreams come...

Guinea Pigs!

My birthday, April 5, was the happiest day of my life, because that day i had gotten a guinea pig. It was my 12th birthday, and my Dad had finally admitted to getting a guinea pig for me. I named him Oreo, and to this day, he is the BEST pet I have ever...

This Goes Out To All Of The People

By Lil on July 23, 2016 / 2,168 views

This goes out to all of the people who have been broken but have been strong enough to let go. For the people who have hurt so badly that they felt they could never love again, but kept their head up. For the people that learn from their mistakes and never stop moving forward, even when they take two steps back. For the people that wish loneliness wasn’t a part of them,...
