There is always suffering in living and comes Hope

There is always suffering in living. But I realized that there is also hope, and we must never lose sight of it. Because once we lose sight of hope, that's where our life starts to crumble. We start thinking negatively and we never know what to do to make our self feel better. It's actually hard when we are lost in the dark and we couldn't find any light. It feels like we're about to die any moment and it's all because of loneliness and pain.

Sometimes, no matter how hard our situation is, we must force our self to hold onto something that give us a little hope. If we feel like giving up, we must look back to the reasons why we once chose to keep going. But of course, sometimes, we can't convince those who already gave up on their self. All we have to do is to be there for them. All we have to do is to give them hope again. Show them love and kindness and make them feel that they are worthy.
There is always suffering in living. But there are also some people out there who will make us feel that we are not alone while we suffer. We might sometimes lose the courage to live but the most important thing is that, there is still a little part of us that wants to stay. Because sometimes, just like what they say— we don't really want to die, we just want to be saved.

We've learned where we're strong, but also where we're weak.

By midlife, we're usually aware enough to understand which of our issues most need attention. We've learned where we're strong, but also where we're weak. We know what parts of ourselves to be proud of and what parts of ourselves should change. We know what our issues are. It might not be a time when we're learning new things about ourselves so much as understanding more deeply what we already know.

This is not the time to stop working on ourselves; it's the time when we've finally accumulated enough clues to help crack the case and solve the myself why and how we've kept ourselves bound for so long. Its not the time to give up and say, 'this is who I am, its too late to change.' Quite the opposite- its time to take a stand, once and for all, for your own potential. Don't worry that it took you so long to get to this point. It takes everyone this long. We know nothing until we know all the ways that we're not who we should be. Only then do we have a chance at becoming the people we've wanted to be. And for that reason alone, these are sacred years. ~Marianne Williamson

All that you are attracted to is a part of you.

All that you are attracted to is a part of you. It is your soul recognizing itself in another. The greatness you perceive in others is a reflection of your own greatness. The beauty you see in others is a reflection of your own beauty. And the qualities you admire in others are qualities that lie within you.

My paths chose me instead

 I’ve never chosen the woman I was, my path chose me instead.

Whatever I needed, whatever life called for- that’s who I became.
Whatever role I needed to be, that was who I evolved into..
Mother, sister, partner, friend, mentor, survivor, provider, protector..
I’ve been each of those and more.
It wasn’t about what I ever wanted, but what I needed to do and be.
I always did what I had to do to keep moving forward in my life.
Truth is, I didn’t know how I’d make it sometimes, but I always found a way.
I’ve been the one who everyone looked to for strength, courage and passion, and somehow, I was always able to become what I needed to be.
I won’t say it’s been easy or painless, because the struggle I fought was almost overwhelming at times..
But I made things happen, because that’s who I am.
I’ll never be fearless, flawless or faultless, but I’ll always be real, genuine and authentic.
I love with all my heart and I don’t do anything halfway.
My soul is filled with passion and I love hard when there’s love to be had.
I fill many roles and I have a never ending list of responsibilities, but I’ve learned I’m capable of conquering anything.
The fires that once threatened to burn me alive now fuel my drive to rise above and fly high.
Maybe my plans don’t always work out perfectly and there may have been a time or two when it came off the rails, but I managed to find my way almost every time.
I’ve provided for and protected those who needed me.
I’ve loved my people who wanted me.
I’ve fought for the ones who couldn’t do it themselves.
I’m a woman of many talents, qualities and depths..born of the darkest times which forged my ironclad spirit.
But no matter who I’ve been and what I’ve done, there’s always one part of me that I’ve needed most:
The survivor.
She’s the one that kept me going, gave me strength and lifted me up when I fell.
Come what may, she’ll always be the part I value most,
For as long as I will ever need her,
She’ll always be there.

Breaking the cycle

 You break the cycle by being willing to be the love you did not receive, give yourself the parenting you were not given, and radiate so much love for yourself, for others, and the world that it overshadows any past heartache or pain.

Words by Tahlia Hunter

Only happiness matters for her

 She never wanted to be successful, strong or powerful, she just wanted to be happy.

Along the way to seeking her happiness, life took some turns she never expected.
She didn’t choose to become that person that always survived, thrived and overcame…
But she never was given any other choices.
Time and again, she found herself on her knees, battling for her sanity and her survival..
And each time, she managed to emerge from the fire tested but intact.
While she may have once feared the flames of struggle, she was forced to become the fire instead.
When she was at rock bottom, trying to dig her way out of the darkness, the only thing she could cling to was the fire to fuel her ascension..
And so that’s just what she did:
She fought bravely, dug deeply and battled furiously to grow and evolve every chance she could.
Everyone counted her out more times than not and each time, she defied the odds and emerged victorious.
That’s the thing about a strong woman-
They don’t know any other way than to keep going and rising out of the ashes of hardship.
There were stars in her eyes and depths in her soul..
She wasn’t ever going to settle for ordinary, lackluster or average.
She was destined for more and every day, in every way, she worked tirelessly to be better than she was the day before.
With a quiet resolve and a determined facade, she endured storms that would overwhelm so many others..
And she took pride in her ability to withstand the obstacles of whatever life threw at her.
She wouldn’t ever be perfect, flawless or always put together, but she would be true to herself.
And in a world full of pretense, she celebrated her authentic truths.
She smiled as she knew that she would always be able to say that no matter what, she did it her way.
