Be a Dreamer

Be someone who inspires

the people around you

by the way you live your life

and the way you treat others.

Stay focused on your future

and be willing to give all that you are

to make your dreams come true.

Encourage others,

and support them

with your strong beliefs.

Be a motivated person

who takes chances when

they present themselves.

Don't wait or worry about tomorrow;

just focused on

what's happening today.

Be someone

who looks forward

to challenges

and fully accepts

both the joys and struggles

that come to someone who dreams.

Ten Suggestions for a Brighter Future

1. Realize that life isn't always fair. Accept what you must, and change what you can.

2. Think before you act. A moment of carelessness or anger can cause years of anguish and regret.

3. Look for the beauty in life, in people in nature, and in yourself.

4. Appreciate what you have: the people, in nature and in yourself.

5. Make the effort to have fun. It's a great way to bond with others, and it makes some of est memories.

6. Set aside some time for yourself. Do something you enjoy without feeling even little guilty.

7. Accept others without judgment. Everyone is unique, and it's okay to be different.

8. Forgive. Bitterness and resentment hurt you more than the person you direct them at.

9. Learn. Open your mind to new ideas and activities, and don't be afraid to try.

10. Dream. Make plans, believe in yourself, and go for what you want.

Look on the Bright Side

When life seems overwhelming

and you can't seem to get

everything done...

When there isn't enough time

to relax and enjoy...

When there is little reward

for all your efforts and

you wonder if it's all worth it,

if this is what life is all about,

and if this is what the future

holds in store...

Try to keep a positive attitude by looking

for the little blessings that happen

every day yet often go unnoticed.

Keep your mind open to humorous situations,

because humor can rescue you

from being overwhelmed.

And never forget that there are people

who love and care about you.

people who want to help and support you

through life's difficult times;

people who think you're pretty special;

people who care a whole lot about you.

-- Barbara Cage

Special People

Special people are those

who have the ability to share

their lives with others.

They are honest in word and deed,

they are sincere and compassionate,

and they always make sure that

love is a part of everything.

Special people are those who have the ability

to give to others

and help them in the changes

that come their way.

They are not afraid

of being vulnerable;

they believe in their uniqueness

and are proud to be who they are.

Special people are those who

allow themselves the pleasures

of being close to others

and caring about their happiness.

They have come to understand

that love is what makes

the difference in life.

Special people are those who

truly make you beautiful.

Carry with You These Gifts of the Heart...

Trust... that whatever happens.

there is someone who will

understand.

Honesty... the feeling that you

never need to hold back.

Peace... in being accepted for

who you really are.

Beauty... in outlook

more than appearance.

Freedom... to be yourself,

to change, and to grow.

Joy... in every day, in every memory,

and in your hopes for

the future.

Love... to last a lifetime,

and perhaps beyond.

It's Never Too Late to Make a Change

At any time, you can decide to

change the road you're on in life, take

a new direction, follow a new trail. You

are the only one who really knows what

you want from life and if you're on the

right road for you. You are the only one

who can fulfill your dreams and receive

the joys and happiness that come from

reaching those aspirations and goals.

Don't expect others to be responsible

for your happiness and success. You

must take control and be in-charge of

your destiny and day-to-day situations.

Take advice (most of the time it's free!)

and listen to what others have to say and

what concerns they have; it's important

to have different points of view. But

always validate those words of wisdom

with your own set of standards and make

sure that the advice has meaning to your

sense of reality.

Yes, I'm Depressed

Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines a depressed person as experiencing feelings of sadness, helplessness and hopelessness. In traditional colloquy, feeling "depressed" is often synonymous with feeling "sad", but both clinical depression and non-clinical depression can also refer to a conglomeration of more than one feeling. --Wikipedia

"Persistent sadness, the feeling of being "empty", and anxious." That is my feeling now.

I just want to cry the whole day. I miss something that I want to see. But I've lost the chance. I'm just hoping there will be another chance.

Last night, I wished that I will forget that "thing" and all the memories with it. But unfortunately, it didn't happen. I wish I'll be better someday. and I wish that something will change just for me...

But it will never happen... :(
