My favorite all-time inspirational song...
Mariah_Carey__-_He... |
Hero
"So when you feel like hope is gone. Look inside and you will be strong and you finally see the truth that a hero lies in you. "- Mariah Carey
Not all heroes wear capes or have superhuman strength. There is some hero in me and there is some hero in you when we reach into our souls and know the pain and sorrow will soon melt away and the healing will begin very soon.
Mariah Carey’s Hero reminds us that we can always find hope for healing when we rely on our faith and on our own brand of heroic strength to do so.This song is just more than a song its a song that has caried people from one level to another.

A wonderful song...:)
When You Believe - I love this song a lot...is because of the meaningful lyrics about what's possible when you believe in yourself. Often it's difficult to truly grasp the idea that you can be the person you want to be, do the things you want to do, and have the things you want to have in life especially if you've had many failures in the past.
It can be easy to lose faith and start believing that you're no one special and that the life you've dreamt about is reserved for the lucky and talented. You must realize that you have in you more potential than you think. The people who achieve their dreams are people who put everything into them. They are the ones who failed over and over, yet got back up, dusted themselves off, and kept going. It's this level of determination that got them to where they are today.
The reason they keep going is because they believe they will eventually succeed even if there's no proof that they will. You must have faith in yourself. You must continually believe in yourself. Too many times we look at successful people and think how lucky and talented they are and forget that they went through many setbacks and failures to get where they are today. Never let that belief in yourself die. For when you let it die, your dreams die as well, and without dreams, life is pointless.

Do tell YOURSELF everyday is a Great Day
This cartoon has the ‘Feel Good Factor’:
you sort of affirm what they’re saying then you’ll feel the same!
Here’s a few ‘Feel Good’ quotes I found on the net…
The happiest is the person who suffers the least pain; the most miserable who enjoys the least pleasure.
---Jean Jacques Rousseau
I pray when I’m in trouble or when I’m happy. When I feel any sort of extreme. I pray when I feel so great that I’ll think I need to check with myself and recognize how good life is. But when it seems there’s so much bullshit around, it’s important to remind myself of the things I have to be grateful for.
---Madonna
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
---Henry Ford
He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much.
--- Hubbard
The Journey
There is this wonderful and terrifying journey that I have traveled. It's called life. Sometimes we all must take a review of our journey, looking back just to remind ourselves of how we have lived. Often times I hear too many of my friends and family asking that age old question, "Why me?".
The easy answer is of course, why not you? However I have a different thought regarding the question. In retrospect how else would I or anyone else become the person that you are now if not for your life's' journey. My life, my journey is the very tool that has taught me the how and why of living. It neither matters that I have had good and bad experiences. It only matters that I learn something important from each experience. The goodness of a action speaks for it's self, learning the error of a bad experience may not reveal it's self so easily. The difference in the two journeys is how I use them to learn and to improve my life.
Life is sometimes like the same kind of chocolates in a box, always giving us the the same flavors over and over with every bit. It is always up to me to select a box of assorted chocolates if the old box isn't working anymore. My journey, my life, is an assortment of chocolates, some I love and some I can do without. But the experience of understanding this is what has become the my teacher.
I know that I am blessed, that I have only good days ahead. I have learn from my journey how to have a good day. My teacher, my life's journey has shown me the bad days, but in so doing this, I choose not to allow bad days to accompany me on future journeys. Dying can change your perspective in just one heartbeat. Flat lining will change it further. Either way death can show you every reason that just simply being alive is the greatest box of chocolates of all. I find that for me my journey both good and bad, happy or sad remains a great challenge. To be able to just breath, aye that's life at it's best and what a wonderful and exciting journey it's been. The happiness we find far our weighs all of our sadness.
