Love and appreciation,

P.S. I simply love the sword of light but the background is too dark and I think it is not easy at all to read the texts. The contrast is too big. What about another colour or shade? Maybe blue, silver or green,or another colour you like :-) The decision is yours of course… :-) I hope it is not too much of me but this is what I feel. Just a suggestion…

So, I say it now Fam, may that acceptance of Life and your wisdom always be a gift to you, and may you go far and be blessed on your journey.

PS
My realisation came as thus
it is hard to give
and hard to love
because we have been taken from so much
and we have been hurt so much by loving
….so then am I afraid of giving
am I afraid of loving? I was.
Does being instantly and subconsciously angry make me/others feel better - no. And did it kill me, or my spirit to love and give and be hurt?
No, I survived
and better than that
when we realise that we can love more
and be loved more
and give more
and be given more
we have the strength and willpower, because we have fought and won, been hurt and survived, scars and all, to stand up and carry on with our journey in confidence.

I have seen god…infact I raised him from the dead and he gave me a hug and wiped away my tears - you may take that metaphorically if you wish, I actually say it literally.
Now I rest in this haven, enjoying each moment and looking forward to the challenges ahead.
God in everyone and everything
bliss moments to all
love

It may be a cliche to have the good win over the bad, but in life, that is what we want to happen. It doesn’t always happen in real life; nevertheless, the struggle between the urpight and the crooked is not judged by the outcome of a single battle. It is judged by how we fought the battles and how we find the strength to fight again regardless of the losses or victories that we have achieved.

All of us desire a good life. We all want to be happy, whether or not we care to admit it. All of us has the right and opportunity to have that privilege; however, it is up to us how we reel that goodness to our direction. Everything we need to have must come to us by the means of our own dignified effort. Life is hard, but it doesn’t mean that our hearts have to harden along with it. The world can be cruel and we cannot defy that; it is up to us to uplift the quality of our life.

But we cannot do it on our own. We cannot avoid getting hurt or feeling solitude. That is why we have each other. We have people who can help us, whom we can learn from, whom we can believe in. Due to the diversity of the human race, though, we must be vigilant in selecting who to trust. We must learn to decipher the true from the false, and by that token, we must decipher the sincere from the wicked.

In the end, whatever outcome may arise in our wars, there comes a point when we feel regret. But this is what I believe about regret. Regret cannot change the past, but it is actually a stream that flows along with self-discovery. With regret, we learn to veer away from what has harmed us before. With regret, we learn what and what not to do… and that is the whole point of learning now, isn’t it? We all make mistakes, and that is our nature… it is not something we should be ashamed of; it is something that, with a good perception, can be a weapon in prevention and redirection.

I commend Paulo Coelho by always making it a point to stress that we should be who we are and that we must stand up for what we believe. Thank you for showing that there’s more to life than the scathing of a single blow. Thank you for touching the life of a fourteen year old like me. Thank you and thank you again.:)

So true. I wish those who experienced failures and disappointments would press on and never bury themselves in order to protect their heart from more hurt. By doing so they create their own prison and the ability to experience love, happiness and success in their life. Thank you so much for your words.

Love
