Beauty in others

You see the beauty in others,

But can you see it in your own reflection?

You see the magnificence in others,

But can you acknowledge it in your own being?

And you see the potential in others,

But can you uncover it in your own self?

You must give yourself permission to shine.

For who among you

Has been lessened 

By the greatness of another?

It is not another person

But your own thoughts that keep you small.

So shine bright and let yourself grow,

Because your example will inspire and encourage others to do the same.

How does a peaceful mind help deal with the chaos of life?

Our relationship with ourselves largely determines our relationships with the people around us and our response to external situations.

Life is not easy for anyone. Something or the other is going on all the time. When the mind is disturbed, external disturbances magnify the problem and make the situation seem bigger than it is. When the mind is calm, thinking ability increases, we become patient, relationships with others improve, and we do not panic even in the most challenging situations.

To create peace within yourself, you have to trust the process of life, accept life as it comes and trust that whatever happens will be for good. Increase your inner strength by praying and meditating, and use this strength to remain calm in every situation.

Life will test you many times

 As I grow up I realized that life will test you so many times until the day that being strong is your only choice, I've experienced countless breakdowns, feeling lost while asking myself what is my purpose, I found myself settling for less and judge by a lot of people, I've been used and forgotten but I don't regret any of those moments because I've learned a lot.

I've learned how to be tough and to guard my heart when it's necessary. I've learned that history sometimes never repeats itself and sometimes you have to let go and move towards the blessings you deserve. I've been buried in the dark a few times and I learned to love myself in there. Being in the dark doesn't mean you've been defeated because hope begins in the dark, the bigger the hope in your heart the wider the light that will mold you to be the better version of yourself.

Understanding failure and disappointment

Throughout your life, you will be hurt. You will make errors, some people will call them failures, and instead of encouraging you to get back up, they will cease believing in you, tearing you to the core of your agonizing emotions.

However, you must understand that failure and disappointment are God's way of telling you that you are heading in the wrong route.

Failure is sometimes a redirection not a rejection.

Can you remember telling someone a compliment

 

Can you remember telling someone a compliment and seeing their face light up in joy?

Imagine, out of the thousands of thoughts that you think,

if many could be positive,

how fulfilled you may feel

and how glorious your face might shine,

radiating light for all those you see.

Encounter a difficult person

 The next time you encounter a "difficult person," recall that inside of them is a child desperate for approval who never felt seen. A soul desperate for affection that never felt cared for. A heart desperate for recognition that never felt appreciated. And a voice desperate for acknowledgment that never felt heard. For a difficult person is simply an unhealed person, and so treat them gently, as you would a small child that is desperate for validation because they never felt loved or are incapable of loving themselve
