Now this isn't mine but is something worth posting. It is a collection of unspoken truths that human are guilty of throughout life. I can attest that I have also been guilty of so many of these negative actions. After reading, I fully agree with this person's thoughts and perspective on how even negative thoughts have power to create a postive.
As a consequence of their self-absorbed consciousness, humans are the most cruelest and horrible of species on this Earth. Knowing this, we should always be reserved with our trust toward and inner-most feelings for others.
You're depression is a result of your insolent desire for self-destruction. - Kahlil Gibran.
When in an emotional slump, force yourself to open your eyes and appreciate the natural beauty of the world. This is also a good way to reinforce one's humility.
Question why we feel the need for a relationship/partner. Often we attach ourselves to horrible people out of misunderstanding/ignorance of this drive in us. We are worth so much more than that.
Take sorrow and anguish and temporarily make it into anger - it's a powerful motivator for change.
To those who have hurt you, say thank you - they have elevated you above their shoulders as they trample along their own hell.
One's diet has a profound effect on state of mind and emotional health. Learn to identify which eating habits and/or foods are culprits to feeling low.
Those who fumble toward instantaneous gratification lose grip on the longer-term and longer-lasting benefits that come with reservation.
Those who fear change are essentially dead. Those who embrace it and live by it are Godly.
If someone passes you over in a dash to get something/someone else, it really is their loss - they're losing a great opportunity in something greater than their self-absorbed and desperate clinging to habits.
Never play down someone else's suffering. Experiences are a relative, and there is no ranking on people's perception of their own suffering.
Learn to forgive, but never forget - remembering is the basis to learning from mistakes, and recognizing and preventing similar events.
We are all Gods. Take time to understand the implications of this.
Why let somone else's bullshit affect your life?! Take your own direction and carve-out your own path in life.
Learn to give, but understand the parable of fishing: give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime.
It has been proven that in human physiology, mental attitudes and habits circularly reinforce chemical markers that attract people of similar mental attitudes, and repel those with opposite behaviours. So re-learn your habits and teach yourself to be positive, energetic, happy, and optimistic (and truly believe it in yourself!)
Learn to love yourself. Easy to say, but harder to practise. We often find ourselves fixating on the external to fulfil an internal emptiness. When we love ourselves, this self-pitying need will become vacuuous.
Value the "Golden Rule" of life: treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This rule of moral conduct is not a creation soley from Christianity, it has been present independently in almost every cluture throughout history
Let go of the chains of the past - they are simply phantom vices and quickly dissipate once we live for today and tomorrow.
Thoughts and feelings are not real. Learn to acknowledge their presence and detatch yourself from being controlled by them. - The Buddha.
Remember, you hold the key to your happiness. All negative experiences, albiet lingeringly hurtful, are the crank-handles to elevating your soul to a new strata of humanity.

Etiquette and the Shame of our Society
Our society, to put it bluntly, is another Hoverville with a little more class. What ever happened to the proper way of speaking, dress, and communication in general?
Our society no longer takes pride in propriety, but rather encourage to be cosmetically educated. We are so caught up in the need to be a so called "gangster" age slandering the English language. True slang is a part of our language, but do we really need the false accent of being black everywhere? I don't remember any of us as children speaking this way. We are so caught up in the fame stardom propaganda that we can't even create our own individual image. How did we change from the fearless expressions of our youth to overbearing concern of our self image?
We care so much of what's "In" that even the way we dress has been influenced. True there are great clothing lines out there with clothing that has it's own accepted style, but the was I see it is if a person chooses their look only according to recent stars out there rather than looking out for their own tastes then there lies the problem.
Another thing that puts our society to shame is he amount we curse at each other. My moral values stand where I don't curse at all. I don't mind if people do around me but I just listen to how people can slander the English language so much. People today have grown to sounding so uneducated and juvenile. Because of the new propaganda, our generation has come to terms that cursing every other word is acceptable. To me to be able to have an argument or any type of conversation you must present yourself with dignity and using such vulgar language just puts you in a position where all you have are curse words without the education the support what ever point you want across.
What has our generation come to? Are people whom have proper etiquette a rare breed?
What ever happened to the ladies and gentlemen of our society? Where are our Elizabeths' and Mr. Darcys'?
Perfect example of what I'm talking about it the movie My Fair Lady. If you can watch a classic like that and understand it and its meaning then you my friend are most likely part of this rare breed.
Until next time

Integrity
I want to be looked upon as having integrity because of my morals. I do this for myself to say I had it all, to become legendary if you will. I’m not striving for perfection but to at least give it my all. Yes I have been told that I am a perfectionist, but I never want to accept something lower than I deserve. I don’t want to sell myself short. I believe when god finally sees us as perfection that he will take us away to the kingdom of heaven. Perfection is seen in the eyes of the beholder.
My views on life are if you are not able to deal with the challenges ahead then you are not living up to your full potential. True days are harder than others but true courage lies in the strength to carry on because in life there are no safety nets. I know my words are easier said then done but it’s a truth that I hold for myself. Even if I find life grows to be difficult I pull through it as much as I can. I’m not afraid to say I have my moments where I can no longer follow through on my own. In fact I could just break down and cry.
It is ok to cry and I know that now. The statement of crying shows weakness I have come to find is partially true because now I see that there is strength in weakness. I go to those I love for comfort. To hold me tight in their arms to say everything will be ok. No matter what the problem they will do everything they can to make my suffering go away.
It’s all a game of the mind. To pull yourself together and become in control is one of the hardest thing to accomplish on your own. The best thing that you can do for yourself is to pick yourself up clear your mind and think out your problem.
I try to view both sides of an objection even when I don’t always agree. It is when I feel strongly about a belief is when I will not budge on what I feel is right. I have to try my best to express my feelings even though no one wants to listen. Every word is important in some way. We are important in the world.
Look at a watch with an analog face. Count the seconds hand for 15 seconds and tell me what you learned…. Experienced.
Truth be told within those 15 seconds you just watched time pass by without the ability to reclaim it. Your life that I took in which could been used for a greater purpose. If we take that time and applied it to a larger scale imagine what could have been accomplished if it weren’t wasted.
Time is defined as a non-spatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.
What better way to reflect about our time left here than to discuss the moments of our past.
It’s amazing when we find our memories to be a blessing, yet a burden at times. A reminder of the past where we lived in the moment. So small but with great significance. Words were said, promises made to ensure true happiness in our lives. In that brief moment we engrave a ghost of memory of our emotions. We think back and ask ourselves the question why do we reflect back to the memory? What triggers the longing from the past to show it’s face to the present? It defines who we are. All these thumbprints imprinted in out mind teach us who we are. The happy and sad moments that have been given as well as received is what puts us in place in the world. It’s all a matter if we choose to listen and learn. By communicating with each other we give each other meaning.
Do we truly exist if we alone isolate ourselves from the world?
We meet new people with an exchanged glace creating the connection to further impact ourselves in the world. Let then all know you exist and are still here. Without the interaction of another we are as invisible as we appear to be and as insignificant we feel to be. It is a choice to interact with dignity to show who we really are without the mask. To be grown up with integrity.
On occasion we trudge over the limits of the relationship whether it may be a friend, family, or love relationship. We deeply hurt each other causing they relationships that we build with each other to branch into different directions.
Is all the hurt we give to each other worth what we lose by it? Are the wounds we inflict on each other worth our ego? Are we too stubborn not to care how others around us feel that we wont listen to reason?
You have to ask yourself what do you want out of a relationship? What do you really want to commit to? In the end what would be best for your future?
Every moment in life that we experience happens for a reason. It’s a matter in what direction you take and learn from it. Time is the past, present and future.
Yesterday the history tomorrow a mystery today a gift that’s why they call it the present.
