Happy

How can you be happy? Just appreciate the small things in life. Positive psychology practices daily saying three things you appreciate about your life, and three things you appreciate about your day. Keep doing these and see what you find

When you’re feeling sad, change the way you look at things. Don’t dwell on your situation, just think in a broader perspective: shit’s gonna be all good J

Disapointment

Life is never what you expect, it just depends on how you bounce back from dreams to reality. I believed that my dreams would come true, but reality and dreams are two separate entities. No matter how hard you fight, other make their own decisions, you must accept that. Even though you believe that you know what’s best, people make their own decisions and you have to live with that and be at peace with the outcome. Don’t get bogged down by life’s disappointments, life is full of them, so all you can do for the betterment of yourself is to stay the course, keep believing what’s true to you and you’ll find solace in your actions as well as others. Don’t try to control others because that’ll only lead to destruction in the end. Life is real, people are real, as well as your decisions. Make the best choices for you.

You are the owner of your life

When you feel miserable because of the people around you, it’s because YOU let them affect you. You let their hate, and their negativity drag you down. Many times people don’t do what you expect them to do, they don’t always do what’s right, but their actions should NOT be the sole dictator of your happiness. People can be either positive or negative to your life, it’s YOU who must decide which one they are, and its up to you to decide which one will have an impact on your life. You have to block out people’s negativity, and strive to stay true to yourself. Life does not explain your situation rather it conveys EVERYONE’s life, the term YOUR LIFE better describes who you are. 

In order to understand humans, you have to understand yourself. 

Take control of your life. I want to be surrounded by people; its impossible for every single one to like me, instead, I must focus on explaining myself and my beliefs to them, so they know what I represent. Their decision to support me or deny me makes no difference on how I feel about myself. 

My Views on life

The heart feels how the heart feels, the mind thinks how the mind wants to think, the body does what the mind tells it to do. When the mind and the heart are one, there is NO discrepancy between how you feel-what you want-what you do. It’s when people FIRST, don’t listen to their heart, and act solely based on their what their mind tells them to do, do we then become unhappy. 

So, listen to what your heart tells you, let your mind focus your beliefs into an idea, and make your body act out that dream into reality. 

The truth will set us free

Being honest with others lessens the burden of keeping a secret. It’s no wonder why kids have no problem saying what they think because they aren’t influenced by society’s standards for political correctness. By being real, it lessens the burden on you because you don’t have to hang out with people you don’t enjoy, you can just concentrate on being better friends with the people that you do enjoy. When there something on your mind, its necessary that you have the courage to bring it up, or else it will eat away at you and you can never be yourself around that person. Saying what’s on your mind will relieve you of that burden; thus, you can continue to be friends as you choose. You don’t have to be FRIENDS with everyone, or else, who would be your friend? You rate everyone you know on a scale, some are higher than others, and that’s done for a reason.

I hate people who laugh at those who are different. Who’s to say your better than ANYBODY? They might be different than you, but that doesn’t imply that they are any worse than you. Those who think like that need to get a fucken life and grow out of their high school selves. For me, I give everybody a chance to be my friend, if we don’t hit it off, I don’t write them off as people/future friends, it’s just that it doesn’t work out at this point in our lives. I hate talking shit about people behind their backs because it’s hurtful to the other person as well as yourself. Stop obsessing over being cool and saying the right things and just advertise yourself as is: the good and the bad. 

Dear Andrew and people,

Be appreciative of the things you have, the things you have gained, the people that have made you…you. Don’t always focus on what you don’t have because as long as you stay true to yourself, it’ll come in time. Bask in the love of your friends, the love of your family, and the love of God (whatever I conceive him to be). Tell someone you love them because you do… and it’ll make your day as well as theirs. Life is full of ups and downs, just enjoy it for what it is. Keep on livin’ J

Judgment

The thing I fear the most is judgment: from others, from my family, to my friends. But judgment is ingrained in human nature because that’s how we tell the difference between right and wrong. We know it is right to help another person out, and it is inherently wrong to rape a child. These two decisions are NOT the same; therefore, they have different values placed upon their doer. We all judge, we cannot deny that from ourselves, but what we differ in is the which QUALITIES we judge. Some people judge people for being “cool” or what I believe is just their version of society’s ideal image of man/woman. What I judge for is people being true to themselves. I judge people if they are willing to help others. I want my friends to be people who have the kindness to put themselves in the other person’s shoes and see if how they are being is right. I don’t give a shit how much u can drink, how fast you can run is cool (but in the end, does it really matter?). In the end, don’t fear judgment, instead, embrace that for the human quality that it is. It helps us filter out who we want in our lives, and makes us realize what is the ‘right’ decision to be made.
