Love is The Best

      I believe love is the best thing that you can have in this world. Not superficial love but deep down unconditional kind of love. The kind of love between a mother and father and their children. You do not have to impress your children. You just need to be around to support them and show that you do care. Children will love you just because you are there with them. I think if you have that kind of love, you have the best thing that this world has to offer.
     I have heard many times people say that their family means everything to them. Their family gives them something that they need in this world and that need is love. Love should never be over looked in our lives because it is the most important thing that we could ever have. If we do not have love we are diminished in life. We will walk around trying to find something to fill the emptiness inside of us.
     We do cling to those who do give us a feeling of love. Because we know that we need love as much as we need air and water. Love is the best thing that we can have because it makes us want to keep on living. Our world becomes more colorful, more joyful, and more comfortable to live in with love. Love makes us feel safe and secure like everything we will be alright. Love makes us feel like that we have everything that we need.
     It could just be me but I feel that our world has become a little cold, distant, and indifferent toward others. I feel the only love that we can find is within our own families and if we do not have a loving family then it will be hard to find it from anyplace else. Perhaps a pet, good friends or a social group can provide us with some kind of love but sincere love seems to me to be a rarity then commonplace. I think the reason for why it is lacking is because so many of us do not feel loved and we cannot give what we do not have.
     I do not really know why love is in such a short supply but I do know that we cannot survive without it. Maybe we can survive but cannot really live without it. The quality of our life is just as important as the type of food that we eat. Love can save us where as violence and hate will destroy us. Love is the best thing that we can have. I feel a sense of warmth just by writing about it, love is that powerful. Love can heal us and make us feel closer and with love we can change our entire world.

Feeling Like Spring in Winter

     Today is a time for our celebration, Why? Because we are alive. Even though it feels like we are surrounded by death and sorrow. Somehow life has given us more time to live. So lets celebrate while we still can. Even though it is winter lets make it feel like springtime on the inside. Lets fill our lives with what we can do now so to make us feel better.

     Lets think positive. Like, I will open my life up and let the spring air in. I will let it energize me, strengthen me and heal me. Spring is a time for rebirth and new beginnings, so let it be spring every time we need it to be. No waiting around for it. The time is now. 

     How do we celebrate this inner springtime? By doing everything that make us smile and be happy. If I feel like dancing, I will dance. If I feel like singing, I will sing. If I feel like painting, I will paint. No matter if I do not have the skill for it, if I feel like doing it then I will do it. Whatever makes you feel happy then do those things. 

     Sad times seems to come to us automatically but with our own happiness sometimes we need to take action. Our sadness makes us slumber while our happiness makes us feel awake and alive. So lets feel alive and let the springtime in.

     Death will always want us and it will get us one day but not now because we have so much more to do. As long as there is life in my body, living becomes my priority and not dying. While I am alive, I have time to enjoy everything that life can offer me. Mourning life is not an option for me if I can celebrate life I will. I do not want to live my life in sadness but I want to be apart of life just like all of nature. I am part of nature and nature is all about being alive.

     Celebrate! Celebrate your life. Celebrate all life. Let springtime flow through you anytime of the year, making you feel alive and happy.

We Must Find Our Own Way

     I sometimes look at the people of the world and think to myself that their just lost. They need to find a direction to go in. I would like to tell them to go this way but in truth they must find their own way. If I would tell them come join me on the beach and enjoy warmth of the sun, some would say I rather be in the mountains or the valley or even camping in the woods. What I believe to be the ideal place is not their ideal place to be.

     I have to be careful that I do not become so arrogant that I believe to know what everybody needs. We each need different things to be happy. If I were to say to eat less there may be others that need to eat more. If I were to say exercise more there maybe others that need to stop and just relax. One way of doing things does not fit all. Each of us are different.

     All I can say is this is what I like and this works for me. Each of us must decide what works for them and what does not. We can take another's advice and change it in a way that it works for us or we can just leave it alone and look for something else. It is our life and we must decide what is good for us.

     I will never pressure you in taking my advice and I hate those who push their opinions so hard like it was the God's truth. They will pressure you to do as they say in order to control you. They will make you feel like you are stupid for not following them. They do not see you as an individual that must find their own way but as someone that they can use to do their bidding.

     I would like to say that I know all the answers but that would be a lie. Life is just so complicated to know everything. I am just a small speck on the surface of the earth and my life is so short compared to it's age. I feel I haven't even scratch the surface to the knowledge of what is out there. 

     We will struggle and we will make mistakes on that road of finding our own way. You cannot rush the process like it was a competition. Just relax and enjoy the process and try to keep an open mind. Do not close yourself off but asked for help if you need to. 

     Strive for peace and understanding. Hate less and love more. Do not worry about to what will come tomorrow but enjoy today if you can. Together, we can help each other to find what we are looking for and make our world a better place to live.
