Love Does Not Cost A Thing

Below is such a nice piece to read, written by Carla Jo Masterson, a published author of children's books. After reading it, it makes me realize more about the importance of loving, caring, kindness and showing feelings to other people. It doesn't cost a thing but somehow it can be the hardest thing to show how we feel to other people...

"Love does not cost anything. Kind words and deeds do not cost anything. The real beauty of the world is equal for everyone to see. It was given by God equally to all, without restrictions.

Everyone, was given a beautiful vehicle in which to express love to others. Feelings are free to express and give to ourselves and each other through our willingness to give and care.

What is complicated about this... Why have we made others feel they have to climb mountains and swim oceans in order to make a difference.

All we need to understand my friends, is that human life was given equally to us all, not partially but in totality.

The sun was given to all. It does not shine on the few. So, just has nature is indifferent to our station or situation, we need to know that we are all equal. We need to focus on the things that are constant and not place our values on things that can be blown away with the next, great, wind.

Value life in what ever house it dwells. For when it comes time that we are all stripped to bare bones before the divine and facing eternity, we will understand that the only law we were meant to follow, was to love ourselves and each other. Nothing more...nothing less."

You dropped food on the floor...

The image below is so funny. I found it on blogs.sfweekly. It's funny how we all tend to think long before we do something really simple. The situation below is this:

"You dropped food on the floor. Do you eat it?"

Turns out that before we do something really simple, we had a long process of thinking in our head. You might want to look at the chart below. have a good Monday everyone =)

Floating Bed...

Would you love to be in bed for the weekend? I would really love too, considering it's been a tough and hectic week for me. Look at the Floating Bed below! Amazing!! You can put it inside or outside your house. My perfect idea would be more for the outdoor floating bed. I can just sleep there and feel the breeze and hear the birds singing.

I have a short story below. It's about confidence, trust and hope. Those three words are small but very powerful and meaningful. Those three small words can be guidance for you to live this life. In life, we all must have confidence, we always have to trust ourselves and other people and last but the most important is not to lose hope.

Confidence, Trust & Hope

Once, all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an Umbrella;

that's Confidence

***

Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby when you throw him in the air, he laughs......because he knows you will catch him;

that's Trust

***

Every night we go to bed, we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still you have plans for the coming day;

that's Hope

Think Good

Think good..think positive. That's what I always had in mind and that's what I often people how to think. Not in a way of telling them what to do but in a way of suggesting other people that by thinking good, the good things will come along. Even if something bad happened to us, doesn't mean that we're having something bad. I believe that there are reasons when something is happening to us. We can say that the bad things happen to us were only the cover of something good that will eventually come along. Here are 3 tips on how to think GOOD (via)

How to think GOOD

1. When you are thinking of a bad song or a bad thought that you can't get out of your head don't try to get rid of it, otherwise it will come straight back at you. It's like physics - every action has a reaction. If you hit a wall, it applies the same amount of force back. Thats why your hand hurts. Try not to throw away the thought, just regard it as any other minor thought, however horrific, and don't feel guilty about this. Naturally your thoughts will move on.
2. It's only when you regard it as a big thing that you will dwell on it. Furthermore, think like this. If you did carry on thinking about it, you would simply justify yourself and the position you were in. However, this just spends more energy on it which isn't a good thing. Remember, it's already happened, thinking about a bad thing will only prolong your bad mood.
3. If you're apprehensive about something, think as if it's already happened and gone amazingly. This way you're setting your self in good stead for it. Thinking this way also relieves the pressure.

It's Monday but it's OK

Monday...Monday...Monday. How are you all doing this Monday? Hope you all have a great start of Monday to make the rest of the day be good. To be honest, I couldn't sleep well last night. I kept thinking all the things I have to do on Monday, which is today. I made a checklist on my mind and try to make a timing for every single thing I have to do today. But gladly, I managed to get some good sleep. So, here I am typing this post ... having done all the things I had to do. Having all things checked on my checked list I've made last night. It's not even mid day but I have managed to do most of the things I must do today. Sometimes, we all worried a bit too much about certain things but when we're actually doing those things we worried about, those things can turn out be easy. Don't you think so? So..just like the image above..you must all say "It's MONDAY..but it's OK" =) Here's a good tip for you from wikihow. about how not to worry too much. Have a good day.

Live in the moment, most of the time.

Worrying is something we do when we think about bad things that might happen in the future. So the less you think about the future, the less you'll worry. Immediately stop the thought as soon as you recognize that you are worrying. The more you worry, the more worried you'll feel. Take out time for yourself. Take a shower and fix yourself up for the next day of school or work. You'll feel better about yourself and you'll stop worrying. Still, it's impractical to not think about the future at all, if you have any sort of responsibilities. The next few steps will address that.
