Thank you

Have you ever wanted to send someone a thank you note/card to show your appreciation for their kindness. Maybe you already have or maybe you never have. Showing your gratitude toward actions done by someone else is just as important as doing the action itself. When you show gratitude you acknowledge its importance in your life, and you open up room for more good things to come your way. Take the time to tell people how much their actions mean to you. Its very simply done, just by writing it down, and sending it their way.

Remember you only live once so give and take kindness, show your appreciation, and just do life!

"Tis the everyday things that really count, 
And the everyday people we know; 
And everyday kindness go very far, 
Toward making a heaven below".

Life Lesson #78

Negativity is everywhere, even in social media. Now don't get me wrong, social media is the best thing to happen to society all in due part to the internet. It serves as the means to connecting and expressing yourself to the world. However, it comes with a price. We are taught at a very early age to look to others for self approval and acceptance. How we speak, walk, listen, and think are all molded by the world we live in. The definition of beauty, intelligence, success, failure, etc are all preset by the standards of society, and we all try daily to fit into these standards. Due to social media now being the primary source/method of communication and expression, what we see on the TV or the internet, we usually tend to believe. We start comparing our own lives with the people and things we are being exposed to and start seeking ways to stand up to par otherwise we feel unaccomplished or unworthy. Life is meant to be self defined and self approved and to be lived by your standards and definitions. Don't go looking for self acceptance otherwise you'll only get lost in the crowd. All you've got to do is look to yourself, thats where your true happiness lies.


No pleasure philosophy, no sensuality, no place nor power, no material success can for a moment give such inner satisfaction as the sense of living for good purposes, for maintenance of integrity, for the preservation of self approval.

Words of Wisdom


"In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility."

"Live the life you wish to, date the man you wish to date, and stop looking to your family for affirmation for the choices that you make. Life is full of risks. You can’t live your life in fear of how people will judge you for following your dreams." - David Sullivan 



"Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people." - The Breakfast Club
