" We shouldn't make judgments based on others opinions about us; we can only stand in front of the mirror with a clear view, not one that is darkened with poisoned insults that don't appear clearly. We can only wipe away those smudges upon the mirror and stand tall, because all that matters if what is seen through your own eyes staring at your own entirety, not the view upon the blinded eyes that can't see you truly."
Written in 2013 by Amy Masella --- Illinois



" The more you release the Negativity, the more Positive gain you will receive."

" When God created Man he gave him authority to conquer the highest and most challenging cliff of life. Remember all that you are going through is just a pebble compared to your dreams. Don't give it a chance to pull you down; March on!"
Written in 2013 by Benson Nyaga --- Kenya Because my God is able to deliver us out of the challenges we face in our life.


" Reality... Don't expect everybody to love you. Some will love you, while some will hate anything that looks like you with passion. Some will pray for you, while some will wish you no longer exist. Some are confident and believe in your ability, while some underestimate and see no good thing about you. I am fully aware of the second category; they don't bother me at all. My friends, don't be bothered about the second category, just believe in yourself; don't be in any contest with them. They are everywhere: in your neighborhood, family, school, church, mosque and office. Be happy that you special. That's why you are being envied, hated and underrated. Be proud that you are a STAR... God bless you."

"Champions don't give up on themselves; they always find a way out of their difficulties, even if it means they die trying. Champions will always find a way, mark my words. They will rise out of the deepest hole in the ground. They will claw their way back to the ends of the earth. Know this: You... are a champion. You must commit this to your mentality. All you have to do is change your thinking, change your attitude and change your life. Be motivated, be insightful, be creative, be cognitive, be passionate and be inspired inordinately."

" Inside every human being lies a touch of divinity, the power of infinity that dwells in our subconscious. Realize the power we have in us that isn't vested in the temple of god. It's right here, within our body. Realize it, believe in it and then watch your life change. Watch it as everything falls into place. Watch yourself walk the road of success... the road of immortality."

"If you are breathing, you have a chance to change your situation. Don't look to anyone else to do this. It's like looking in a mirror. Who do you see? Don't look to the left or the right. The person straight ahead is the one in charge of your life. Keep moving ahead. Continue on in your journey. The buck stops with you and you alone. If you want to make your life better, you must take the reins and ride like your life depends on it; truly a better life does."
Written in 2013 by Janice Harris --- Florida


" Our struggles in life gives us scars, but they also give us growth, strength, faith, and a passion for life to break through all barriers so when we make it to our destiny, we can look back and embrace who we've become. I am who I am, and I've yet to become who I will be."
Written in 2013 by Jariel Morales


" Shrouded In darkness, surrounded by negativity, racked with insecurity, sick with worry, filled with doubt, and full of uncertainty. Keep your head up through it all. The strongest warriors are made from the toughest battles. The wisest of people experience the most pain. The most successful people keep stepping, even when they can't see past the here and now. Though all the troubles of life will never permanently leave you, happiness will if you let those troubles overcome you. Keep your head up, lower your shoulder, and run over anything that gets in your way. Never get discouraged. When a volcano erupts and destroys everything in sight, it leaves in its wake the most fertile land on earth."

And makes you stumble and fall

Love will lift you
And make everything all right
Will certainly see you through

" The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles.
