MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT!

 It is said that the man is a success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for
the best in others and gave the best he had....

However, the majority of us lead quiet and unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. People who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.

You may have touch people and know it. You may have touch people and never know it. Either way, no matter what your life feels like to you right now, you have something to give. It is in the giving to one another that each one of our lives becomes meaningful.

Everyone has a reason for being here and a season for making their highest, greatest most auspicious contribution. Too often we underestimate the power of a simple touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the numerous opportunities there are to make our impact felt.

Martin Luther King, Jr. affirmed this by saying; “Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle or Einstein's Theory of Relativity....to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love”

 But most often, the effects of your kindness are not always seen immediately, sometimes it takes years until your kindness will pay off, and is returned to you. And sometimes you never see the fruits of your labors, BUT KNOW THAT THEY ARE THERE, DEEP INSIDE OF THE SOUL OF THE ONE YOU TOUCHED....

NEVER BACK DOWN!

On a quest to start a new life, 

You will face a lot of challenges and uphill battles that will try to bring you down.

Fears will arise that will make you stumble

And the only way to stop them is to face them!

As a friend, I would like you to know that life will knock us down but we can choose to get back up.

You will always hit a wall in everything you do in life.

How you overcome this wall is the true measure of your determination and perseverance.

Always remember that the wall isn't there to stop you;

It’s a way of making you realize how much you truly desire to achieve your goal.

Remember to be strong always.

Root it in your heart that no matter what the obstacle or task
you are strong enough to make it through!

No matter what distance the finish line is

Pace yourself to complete the race!

No matter how seasoned in years you may be

Your wisdom is more valuable than youth!

No matter how hard today appears to be

You can make it because you are here!

Keep pressing on

Don't lose sight of your dreams and be determined
No Matter What!

Even if you are overpowered by the silver lining with your bruised wings
know that the luster of the sunshine would heal you!

Even if your nest is almost on the verge of collapsing
don’t allow your broken wings to give up
Gather the twigs again
your slashed wings may ache when you fly
Yet continue to soar high

Something beyond the dense haze may constantly lure you

You may bleed quite often
But you can't settle feeling small for the sake of luxury
You’ve got to soar high
For your limits are limitless
So don't mind the stings nor the broken wings!

the right time to say "I LOVE YOU"

The climax of just about every LOVE story is that key moment when the object of AFFECTION looks longingly into the other's eyes; their HEART pounds so fast that it sends paralyzing jolts of EUPHORIA throughout the body, and then they say those three little magic words… I LOVE YOU! This scenario is maybe what we see in the movies, but it is also how we IMAGINE it happening in REAL life. And quite frankly, how it really should be. Anything else is nothing short of a DISAPPOINTMENT. So, how can you ensure that your first “I LOVE YOU” will play out like the SCENE you've always envisioned? Read on please.

One of the most important things to know about saying I LOVE YOU is that, from the receiver's point of view, having someone tell you that they LOVE you when the FEELINGS aren't reciprocated is a HORRIBLE feeling. All of a sudden, feelings of FEAR and a sense of OBLIGATION emerge. With this in mind, take the following advice to heart if you are the one saying the first, “I LOVE YOU.”

Even though being HONEST to yourself and others is of UTMOST importance, taking your partner's FEELINGS into consideration is an equally necessary component. We often tell ourselves we are experiencing TRUE LOVE when we feel LUST, EXCITEMENT and a mere CONNECTION. In my opinion, TIME is the only sure way to decipher the TRUE nature of your EMOTIONS.

It can often seem like we have a built in compulsion to FALL or be in LOVE! For women, "I love you" is the sweetest phrase in the world. But not every man who says it means it. On the other hand, some men may feel it deeply, but still find it hard to say. There are several reasons these words might stick in a man's throat. The first is that, quite commonly, men have a difficult time expressing the emotions they feel most deeply. Another reason is the words "I love you" might be interpreted as a marriage proposal. So that nothing gets lost in the translation, men with this concern will wait for the time in which they can back up their words with a lifetime commitment....

The truth is, most people hear those words when you're telling them that you LOVE them. It’s what they wanna hear, so they do. Hearing those words when you don’t RECIPROCATE the feeling SUCKS! If you aren’t sure that what you're feeling is MUTUAL or IMMUTABLE, WAIT!!! It’s worth it! Hold your tongue until you’re sure to have a “MOVIE MOMENT.” The more anticipation you can build up, the better your moment. Pushing for this key moment will only CHEAPEN it!!!

Imagine yourself MARRYING this person and then, ten years down the road, you’re reminiscing. “OH HONEY, do you remember the first time I said ‘I LOVE YOU’?” How do you want that MEMORY to be? I think some people treat those three all-important magic words so CASUALLY, that they tend to FORGET soon after, but there are some who will forever keep the MEMORY because they prevented prematurely saying, “I LOVE YOU!”
