Why must we aspire to become good humans before anything else?

 

Aspirations without human values do not bring fulfilment. When we combine the two, not only do we become what we want, but we also make a difference in the world around us.

Most people aspire to become something big in life. Some do exceptionally well and earn wealth, power and status, but as they climb to success, they become arrogant, self-centred and egoistic. They mistreat, put others down and disregard other humans, not realising that achievements are meaningless if you can’t be a good human.

Work towards your goals, strive to become what you want but ensure that you keep human values always in your heart.

How does consistency help us in achieving success?

Being consistent means, you discipline yourself and show persistence despite hardships.

One of the reasons why we are unable to achieve our goals is a lack of consistency. Most people begin with a lot of enthusiasm, but soon the energy fades away. Either they don't show enough patience or feel disappointed if they don't see quick results.

If you want to achieve your goals, put in consistent efforts. When you see yourself doing better than the day before, it will keep you motivated and enthusiastic about keep going every day.

Memorial poetry

We all write it

When loved ones die

When they leave us behind

And our hearts and our minds

Know we're forever divided

We all write it

It's all we have left

To give those we loved

The words our souls scream

At the heavens above

When we're ripped at the seams

And we ride it

This ride they got off of

Waves full of pain

It all feels so empty

Where they couldn't remain

Like they took out the sun

And left only rain

So we pick up our pens

To absolve any blame

And we kiss them goodbye

And we write it.

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.
