Summer thoughts

In the last 30 days, a lot has changed...it felt like i took another detour and i have no idea where this detour will lead me eventually. In this journey, I've made a couple of realizations...which i hope will do me more good than bad. =)

1) Look at the bright side of things - In this chaotic world we live in it's getting more and more difficult to look at the bright side of things. But if we succumb to that...it will be a lonely life to live. So take a moment and look at the bright side of things. You'll be surprised how good it will actually make you feel.

2) Never settle for second best - More often than not, everywhere we go everyone is in a rush and most of the time because of that we end up settling for second best. Don't fall victim to that. Take your time...don't rush things...eventually, things will fall into place and you'll get whatever it is that you've always wanted...nothing but the best!

3) Love yourself - Don't get into something in the hope that it will make your life better or more meaningful. Chances are it wont. Instead allow yourself to grow and be the best that you can possibly be. Learn to love yoursel first and share that with someone who will complement what you hold dear.

4) Learn from the past and move on - There are a lot of things that we can learn from our past but don't get stuck in it. Take the lessons to be learned with you and move on...there's still so much out there for you. Just believe.

5) Laugh more - Laugh at yourself once in awhile you'd be surprised how good it will make you feel. Problems will always be there but it wouldn't help if you frown all day...so go ahead and laugh! Life is too short.

6) Accept your mistakes and start a new - We all make mistakes but what's important is we are able to pick ourselves up and continue with the journey we've started. Forgive yourself for those mistakes. Everybody deserves a second chance.

7) Treasure your friends - When the going gets tough and the tough gets going...you'd be glad to have true friends around. They won't always agree with you but when everything fails they would still be there to support you no matter what. So appreciate your true friends.

8) Even the "meanest" person has something good to offer - Never give up on someone. Sooner or later something good will happen and you'd be glad that you hang on.

9) Do something good for your soul - Smile. Give. Help. Pray...these are some of the things that i need to do more to make my sould happy.

10) Go after what truly makes you happy - If you can't decide on what to do...just go after what will truly make you happy. You can never go wrong with that. If it still fails, you won't have any regrets. Fight for what you believe in and you dont have to worry about the what ifs.
