Total Overflow

Anger. Delicate, yet dangerous. Bubbles up to a maximum in a number of seconds and overflows the rim to cause havoc in a number of minutes. It's an uncapped bottle full of dissapointment, hurt, and frustration. It may not be all bad though. Think about it. It's just another emotion given to man to help him grow and build a foundation. Yes, it may cause trouble, but one must know pain to advance, right? To me, I think it's what the person does with the anger that is the problem. It's the action that determines whether the feelings are negative or positive. The anger we possess seems to be a sign telling us something needs to be changed. It's so easy for us to resort to yelling and losing our patience as soon as the bottle's uncapped. It's too easy to forget how it may hurt others or the consequences that follow. While this is probably a hard thing to do, think what would happen if we all stopped and took 10 minutes to play out in our minds what we are going to say, as well as the followed reactions, before we say it. We can all deal with anger, we just have to find the strength to put it aside and the courage to be the bigger person and promise yourself to resolve it. Let it dissolve, and move on, for if you don't put it aside then it will only linger in the back of your head for who knows how long before actions are taken. Plus is it really worth it all the time? Is there another way to act or say something before this feeling turns into resentment and regret? Through my eyes, it would be nice if we could up our willingness to listen and down our temptations to become angry.

Stronger Than Ever Before

It's not the people in this world who are famous and earning millions who amaze me. In fact, it's just ordinary people like you and me. It's the ones who have gone through so much in their lifetime, yet still have the willpower to keep going strong as ever. Where I have faced nothing and feel the need to give up at times. These people are so determined and strong. I wish I had that. I really do. Despite everything they have suffered, they look at life in the simplest way and be open to all sorts of things. While I hesitate and worry when I have not come close to anything in comparison. This really shows me determination. These people are so unique. They refresh my faith and prove to me that life goes on. We fall a countless number of times but only to pick ourselves up and learn from the mistake. Looking at these people I can't help but to wonder why things play out the way they do. Everything happens for a reason, right? No one said all our days would be rays of sunshine. There will always be laughter with sorrow. Times of pain and times of joy. But I look at it this way, we are dealt with all kinds of different situations. Many times we find ourselves standing at a fork in the road with trembling hands unsure what to do. No matter what it is though, anytime I am given a certain situation, I remember I was dealt with it for one single reason. I am meant to get through it.

It Doesn't Matter

You know those rags to riches stories we all hear about? Well it doesn't matter whether you live out of a shopping cart or live in a mansion owning 25 cars. It doesn't matter if you're a striving genius or failing school. If you can find the inspiration and believe you have the talents, then everything else is just an accessory. The places you may end up are countless. It's the person who creates the horizon.

Express, don't assume.

There's so much going on in our lives that we often forget the little things in life. Birthdays, anniversaries, the first snow, the sun's warmth on a cold morning, the tiny gestures that send chills down our spine. As humans it seems we're programmed to automatically grow close to a select few and share all our dissatisfactions with those people, rather than showing our reasons for contentness. With our lives constantly keeping us on the move, we often forget how good it makes us feel to receive a compliment or to hear someone is proud of you. At times, we need this appreciation to push us forward and excel, while sometimes it just keeps us happy inside. As relationships prosper and we tend to grow closer, we forget to celebrate the people we love who have kept us happy for this long and got us to this point in our life. We easily take them for granted and assume they know how much we appreciate them, but do they really? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. But I do know that it feels great when your told you are. So don't assume, they may have no idea. Make an effort, go out of your way, you never know how much of an impact you may make on a person. It's a great feeling we all know and love. So remember. Express, don't assume.
