Be Kind To Yourself And Others

Kindness is a generosity of spirit. It comes to life when we give of ourselves and our time to be of help to others, without expecting anything in return. When you show kindness to somebody you bring out the best in yourself, and a side-effect of brightening up somebody else’s day is to feel happier in the moment yourself.

Pay attention to the impact your behaviour has on others, and notice your own feelings in association to their reactions. And think about how you feel yourself when somebody else shows you kindness. What you give comes back to you in even greater quantity. When you are kind, you not only get an immediate payback in terms of a feel-good factor, you will also receive kindness from others, and in completely unexpected and unrelated ways.




It is so easy to find ways to be kind to others: say something supportive when you instinctively feel someone needs to hear it; offer help without being asked for it; smile encouragingly; swallow your criticisms; listen without judgement; let mistakes slide instead of assigning blame; make small sacrifices for the benefit of somebody in greater need.

A great rule of thumb I apply to my life is to Do unto others as I’d have them do unto me, and, do unto myself as I’d do unto others. The latter part is just as important as the first. It is no good to be consistently kind to others and forget to be so to yourself. You will run out of steam, and feel less able to show kindness to others if you don’t replenish your own mind, body and spirit on a regular basis.






Being kind to yourself means getting your needs met, being gentle with yourself instead of critical when you feel you’re not performing at your best, forgiving yourself when the need arises instead of beating yourself up. When you get into the habit of treating yourself with kindness, it becomes much easier to extend that consideration and behavior to others.

A Positive Thursday..

Everyday, some people will try to drag you into their negative energy, but as long as you know better

than to let them get to you, You'll be fine.

So, surround urself w/ positive and happy people, fill ur head w/ great memories and happy thoughts,

find something to laugh about, and before you know it, you're smiling again.

Tears may fall once in a while, the cuts may get deeper and take a while to heal,

but as long as in between those tears and deep sighs, you can find something in

your heart to smile about...

you just know.. this too shall pass,

and though life maybe hard at times,

it's still, and always will be...

Beautiful.

***** awkward silence *****

Someone's silence doesn't always mean they have nothing to say.

Sometimes, they'd rather keep mum, than regret ever saying anything.

Specially when too much is riding on those words.

Yet Again

hayz, im uninspired yet again. some people are meant to disappoint u. the reason why i liked him so much is due to i thought he's different from the rest, that though he's liked by many, he never even for once took the time to even consider that thought and he remained as loyal as he can be to the one that he belongs to. just when i thought that it's possible that those type of guys still exist, he turned around and became just like any other guy.



don't get me wrong, im not the one he belongs to, im one of those girls who crushes over him, and the reason why i liked him so much is coz he's ever loyal to his queen. and its more of an admiration of that character that he has that makes me think he's a catch, coz on the looks department he's just so-so.it's more of being drawn to something or someone you can never have that keeps my "crushing" and kilig" afloat.



and then one day....



he proved me wrong.



i should be happy right???



but no i'm not. i'm disappointed.



and even sad,

kala ko iba sya. un pala.. kagaya dn sya ng iba.

:(
