Recovery Begins

Based on the current living situations we walk around with a lot of pressure on our shoulders. Everyone is looking for that someone that can help them share their load but nobody is looking for that someone they can help share their load. Dedicate part of your day at least to be a miracle to someone and the favor will one day be returned when you desperately need it. Instead of always looking for help, sometimes try and forget yourself then attend to others and the seeds you plant, it is you who'll sow them. You have to learn that help comes from helping others. Just because everybody is going through something it doesn't mean they don't need someone like you with a broken limb to help them; you never know; what he/she lacks is what you have and whatever you lack is what he/she got. So the moments you feel like you are drowning don't spend all the hours wallowing in your own pain, get up and ask your neighbor/friend "what can I do for you?" instead of "what can you do for me?" Don't worry even if they won't help you in return just remember no good deed ever rots.

Learn to help each other selflessly, the treasures of tomorrow lies in the path you take today. Some people always wonder if I ever go through tough times since it seems I do always have the answers, well yes pretty much all the times, but a special someone once told me, "...the words you wrote to me also apply to yourself as I hope you must know. Helping others is ultimately helping ourselves in the long run..." I don't usually have all the answers or words to help myself up but through whatever I write here, I find my guidance too. Sometimes the solutions to your problems that you are looking for, you unlock them by stretching your hand to the person in need.

We don't expect everything to be perfect and neither do we expect ourselves to be perfect but that does not mean we can't be the best of us today. The world is harsh and each day somebody is bound to annoy us. Be it a friend, family, a stranger or even the love of our lives...maybe just because they woke up on the wrong side of the bed and they let their temper out on us...its not because they love it but its because they have a lot on their shoulder. But keep this in mind...two wrongs don't make a right and some people are brought into our lives not to help us but instead we be there angels. You maybe going through a lot too but its better your swallow your pride and instead of being mean to them, be nice...even when they hurt you reply it with a smile or a compliment or a shoulder...maybe that is what they are looking for...you never know, someone maybe on the brink to terminate their life and you may be their savior just because your kindness showed them that they are loved and they are not alone. That fake smile on your face, those kind words maybe your key to your dreams. God gives the hand that offers...you help this person today and you never know he/she maybe having the solution to your problem(s). Remember you cannot reap apples when you planted cactus. Your partner maybe short tempered and he/she keeps on getting pissed off at simple things. They'll do that a lot and it will hurt you. And if your response to them is getting mad at them, staying away from them, replying them with anger too, it will stick as a habit...and nothing will ever get better. But if your response is you smile, you calm them down, you show them love...assure them that everything is going to be okay. With time they will see that they are wasting themselves and they'll realize that they are the one at the losing end and you'll be surprised on how they change to become better. Always remember a victorious fighter is not the one with a gun on his hand...it is the one with a smile on his face. Don't ever let people take the best from you...let people bring the best out of you. A foolish angel is that who believes that he/she is not an angel, instead others are.
