I wanted to be loved

I had chased people for so long trying to convince them to love me to no avail.

I wanted to be loved so much that it clouded my judgement and made me want the right thing with the wrong person too often.

I never realized that you can’t make someone love you, no matter how hard you try and how much you want them to..

I fought to win the heart of potential partners and I tried to befriend people that weren’t meant to be in my life.

It’s a very upsetting feeling to get rejected by people that you want in your life..

Until you realize that they aren’t your people.

It’s hard lesson to learn, but the moment I met someone that I just clicked with from the first hello..

That’s when I realized the truth of love.

You can’t make anyone love you that doesn’t want to ..and the ones who are your people will love you, regardless of time, distance or behavior.

Those are my people..the ones that have my back, love me unconditionally and accept me, flaws and all.

I don’t have to talk them into my being my friend and loving me..they just do.

Love will come when it is time..and nothing I can do will change that.

I stopped trying to force people into what I thought my love story should be and started just loving myself more.

I’d let my friends find me however they were supposed to and I’d love them unconditionally when they finally showed up..

I worked on me and let true love find me when it was time.

I knew that it would happen when I least expect it in the most unexpected way..

And one fine afternoon, a simple hello from a beautiful soul reminded me why all the others never worked out.

When I stopped trying to love the wrong people and started going where the love is..

Everything changed.

I was so thankful that I stopped trying to force love and let it be..

Let it happen naturally, as love has rules all its own..and what we want doesn’t always work out.

And it made all the difference, after all.

I went where the love was, and I couldn’t have imagined a happier place to be..

Healthy visitors

Patience visited me

And it reminded me 

That good things take time to come to fruition

And grow slowly with stability 

Peace visited me 

And it reminded me 

That I may remain calm through the storms of life 

Regardless of the chaos surrounding me 

Hope visited me 

And it reminded me 

That better times lay ahead 

And it would always be there to guide and uplift me

Humility visited me 

And it reminded me 

That I may achieve it 

Not by trying to shrink myself and make myself less

But by focusing on serving the world and uplifting those around me

Kindness visited me

And it reminded me 

To be more gentle, forgiving and compassionate toward myself 

And those surrounding me

Confidence visited me

And it reminded me

To not conceal or suppress my gifts and talents 

In order to make others feel more comfortable 

But to embrace what makes me me 

Focus visited me

And it reminded me

That other people’s insecurities and judgements about me

Are not my problem 

And I should redirect my attention 

From others back to me 

Freedom visited me 

And it reminded me 

That no one has control over my mindset, thoughts and wellbeing 

But me

And love visited me 

And it reminded me 

That I need not search for it in others

As it lies within me.

Words by Tahlia Hunter

Be your best

Why is being your best self more important than being the best of all?

Becoming our best self means recognising our shortcomings, learning from our mistakes, and improving ourselves. It not only helps us in personal growth but also creates a pattern of overall development for us.

We live in a competitive world and focus on other people's abilities rather than our own because our goal is only to surpass them. This attitude may lead to initial success, but in the long run, it hinders our progress because we never allow ourselves the opportunity to know how far we can go, how much we can explore, and what we can become.

To discover your true capabilities, you need to focus on self-development. Analyse yourself every day, challenge yourself to do something more, stay strong in difficult situations and aim to improve every day. Once you start focusing on becoming your best self, you will look to others only to learn from, not to compare.

Dr Bhawna Gautam

I need you to stand

Underneath all that you do, the main purpose of your life is to love: to both give love and receive it, by carrying and transmitting an energy of love and healing into every single interaction you have. For example, a cleaner is not just a cleaner; they are transforming the energy of a space. A builder is not just a builder; they are creating a foundation for dreams. And a teacher is not just a teacher; they aren't shaping the minds of the future.

kindness and Love

It is not naive to envision a better future,

For time and time again throughout history,

Light has triumphed over darkness.

Good has succeeded over evil,

And love has conquered fear.

And the chronicles of history

Do not simply contain tales of tragedy 

But also ones of perseverance, bravery, kindness and love.

Words by Tahlia Hunter

Courage to challenge

Give me the courage to face the challenges of my day, no matter how large or small.

May I never lose sight of the sunlight on the other side of the storms..

For that will always give me the strength, courage and perseverance to see things through.

Give me the passion to fill my spirit and move me to greater heights and more awareness.

May the things I pursue bring joy to my heart and peace to my soul, so that I will always have that fire burning inside me.

Give me the serenity to understand that my journey is as it is meant to be and nothing happens by chance.

People and things come into my life for a reason, for it’s up to me to figure out why..

To step back and understand the reasons, learn the lessons and appreciate the growth...

even though sometimes, things don’t go as I want them to.

But I’ll always what I need and where I’m meant to be.

This journey is mine and mine alone, though I’m blessed to have so many wonderful people walking this path beside me..

My people that love me just as I am and accept me for all my quirks, flaws and uniqueness.

That’s the love I tuck into my heart to carry me through the hard times- when I don’t think I can keep going but feel the love and find a way.

Maybe I’ll take some wrong turns, but they’re not really wrong..they’re just places I needed to go and people I had to meet to teach me who I was and what I’m capable of.

I know there will always be long nights and tears to cry, that’s just part of finding myself.

Every person, every broken heart, every situation has something to show me if I’m willing to open my eyes.

But every day is a blessing that I’m thankful to have and an opportunity to find the beauty in the moments, help someone in need, be kind to another soul.

There will never an obstacle I can’t overcome or a problem I can’t solve.

Most of all, what I know is this:

There’s always hope to inspire me, love to lift me up and strength to carry me through.

Every end is just a new beginning and with passion in my spirit and eyes lifted, I’ll find my way.

Maybe it’s not perfect, easy or ideal, but it’s my journey..

And taking one step after another, I can realize my dreams and follow the stars.

I can do anything, be anyone and become anything.

It all starts now, with me, and a little sprinkle of hope, dash of courage and a touch of belief.

That’s how I make today great.
