Raise them good!

Let's be honest and not pretend. If you can't do that, pretend less. Let's try to understand each other, each others weaknesses, each others faults and each others mistakes. Let's not judge. If you can't do that, judge less. When you see a person, a person who is close to you or a stranger, ask yourself what's actually there. What is there behind the facade? Why is she or he like that? What has he or she gone through? Is that person hurt, is that person loved enough, is that person being misunderstood? Show compassion, it's in you. Hidden somewhere, try to find it. Show that compassion to that person. Show that you understand that life can be hard sometimes and we all fight different fights inside us. Don's say it if you can't say it or if you can't find the right words. Show it...and feel it.

Let's  be grateful. Grateful for things and people we still hold beside us. There's no guarantee they will be here forever. There's no guarantee they'll be here tomorrow. Thank each day for your life. Thank for your health even if you're not completely healthy at that moment, thank for it anyways. Thank for the love you receive and for the love you're able to give. If you cannot give love, start loving yourself, open your heart and realise the love within you. It's there, I promise, I see it! Thank people who loved you one day and hurt you the other day. Thank for the growth within you and for the strength to fight the pain they've caused you. Thank for everything! Because »everything« made you the person you are today! Are you proud of you?

Let's be happy. If you can't do that, be less sad. If you can't do that, start to enjoy in your sadness.  Give yourself as much time as you need to recover. Smile more often, even if it's fake - your brain will know what to do! Everyday thank for 10 things that make you happy. You'll see, you'll notice you have more than you think. Be happy with who you are and what you do. If you aren't, improve yourself. Focus on YOU only! NOBODY can make you as happy as you can! Give yourself love you want from others. Give yourself appreciation you want from others. And give yourself all that you can give, and they who are around you, will give you everything they've got.

Let's be more giving. If you can't do that, be less selfish. When you give yourself love, appreciation and everything you can give, so the others will give you the same, don't forget to give them that too. Give them more if you can. It's in you. You posses everything you need in order to give. If you like to bake, give people in need your desserts. If you like to sing or play music, spoil ears of the ones who need music. If you an artist, bring a piece of art in someones home, someone who's lonely. Tell a joke to someone who needs a smile on their face. We all have gifts inside us, let's embrace them, show them to the world and give them to each other!

Let's be braver. If you can't do that, fear less. WE ALL HAVE FEARS. But the greatest out of all, is fear of each other. Fear won't let us be who we truly are, because we are so afraid, what the world will think of us. Free your mind. And do your own thing. Because when you will show your uniqueness, others will find it in themselves too. They will see there's nothing to be afraid of if you are who you are. Because we are all a lil strange, we are all a lil crazy, we all embarrass ourselves sometimes, we all make stupid mistakes and we all make wrong decisions sometimes! But let's not be afraid to admit that. Let's be more honest...oh we've been there!

We've all been hurt. We all had our hearts broken. Deeply broken.  We've all been misunderstood. We've all lost trust of someone. We've all been lied to. But let's not forget! We hurt other people AS WELL. We broke other heart(s) AS WELL, deeply broke! We didn't show understanding to some people, AS WELL. Somebody lost trust in us, AS WELL. We all lied to someone at certain point, AS WELL. So understand, if you want to be understood. Appreciate, and you'll be appreciated. Love and you'll be loved back. Forgive, and you'll be forgiven. Help and people will help you. Live life and life will give you so much living, that you've never imagined.

It's not because of other people. It's because of YOU only! Be more responsible and stop blaming everything and everyone around you for your problems. Believe me, THEY have their own problems, they don't have time to cause you problems. And NO, they don't wake up and have an evil plan to make your life miserable. You make your life miserable. Society and the world HAVE NOTHING to do with it. Be more adaptable! You can't change circumstances, ignore and ADAPT. Adapt, fight and believe!

And don't forget your influence on other people. Remember how many people daily affect your life. In bad and in good way. Well, now, imagine how many lives, how many people daily YOU affect!  DON'T FORGET - You raise people. Raise them good...and than love what you've raised!

Happy life...or shall I say happy 2013!
