The Truth

Simply put, the only truth in this reality are feelings. Our feelings shape our perspective and ultimatly the world around us. Facts are useless if no one believes them, and before something is fact, is was a feeling, an opinion, a thought, an assumption.

Let your feelings be your truth and let life be the experiment. Nothing is dogma, so keep and open mind and youll recieve more truth...

...Be courageous, be strong. Let all that you do be done in Love" - Corinthians 16:13-14

Referring back to a previous post "What are you fighting for". All aspects of ones life are motivated both intrinsicly and extrinsicly, without going into a tangent, intrinsicly motivated people are very much so happier than those powered by outside(extrinsic) rewards. Do things because you want to, not because of the rewards, whether it be a line of work, giving or whatever it may be. You will find yorself many times happier if your motivation is because YOU want to do it. With that being said, find what drives you, what motivates you.

ex.) I like to be at peace with myself, I LOVE life, I strive to make my friends, and family happy while serving my god.
ex.) I love children, so i'm currently working towards becoming a teacher
ex.) I love my ex, I overlook small things, my pride, MANY external factors, some of which are my own friends, because I value her as a person.(may not be the best example but hey, it I cant live life hating)

Anger is the quickest way to combat a broken heart

...some side affects may occur but hey *kanye shrug*



[edit Monday 1:35am]

disregard what I previously said
Relationship disappointment does not mean youre "brokenhearted". The fact that you feel a certain way is proof that your heart is in fact working. The term "brokenhearted" implies there is a problem with YOU, when in all honesty, being able to genuinely love any individual aside from yourself makes you an extraordinary individual in this time. It makes you literally the last of a dying breed. Why stress over another individuals short comings, when all you can change is yourself. Live and let live while striving for righteousness. No test comes without stress, just realize there is one above you who can handle that stress. Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed are those who trust in the lord.

Regardless of gender, why is it so hard to get over things? Why must we project our emotions onto others? Our past surely affects our present state, but if your present state is one of "closed mindedness" and anger, your present state will continue to be the same, or maybe even get worse. Living a stagnant life based on past emotions hindering present success in all facets of life. It's definately a form of self handicapping. Why must we make our worse enemy ourselves? Sure youve been hurt....but havent we all? Ofcourse youve faced defeat or negativity, but thats life. The duality of life is success verses failure. I may be writing this due to recent events in my personal life, but I believe the topic of holding on to the negative aspects of your past affects more than what we percieve on the surface. Everyday is a new day. Why hold onto yesterdays problems when todays troubles are certainly enough? We are trained to be logical; "what has happened before, will porbably happen again"....that logical, I will admit. Logic is the downfall of the educated man. Relying too heavily on tradition, lacking innovation, lacking creativity, lacking individual thought. I am definately guilty of saying "...thats just how it's done". But I digress, you must live life. You must reevaluate things, remembering the past as you remain open minded as every day is new, every person is different, and every situation is unique. Differently put, it is human nature to hold an opinion, but opinions are not dogma.

Perfection needs no company...Your imperfections make you perfect for me...i dont want a perfect person.

...wish you understood that

#LoveIs...
not logical, it isnt a math problem that after inserting the right numbers and variables will give you the answer. Love is not a mandate, love is an option. Because love is an option, one should feel proud to recieve it. Love is faith, in God and in your other. Love is not a cake walk, love is hard, love is a battle. With anything worth having, it does take practice, it does take effort. Lovers are not telepathic, so communication is key.Love does not dictate actions, it is the actions that dictate love. Everyday is a new day, complacency is time wasted. Love is a reaffirmation of character. Love not the complete understanding of a person, moreso the willingness/commitment to try. Love cannot be attained from behind an emotional wall. One thing about walls is that while keeping things out, they also keep things in...better yet, Love is vulnerability. Love just IS....

1 Corinthians 13:7

It(love) bears all things, believes all things, hopes all thing, endures all things

I HOPE this works, because love hurts...
