Just do something

Clear your head. Block every thought that tries to make you- well, think.

Now, concentrate.

Try to remember what it was like to be somewhere else; another time, another place.

Do you remember what it was like to be fifteen?
Do you remember what it was like to be ten?
How about five?
Do you remember what it is like to be in the country side; the air, the quiet, the nice people?
How about a loud city?

Notice the beauty of nature.
Feel the summer breeze.
Listen to the birds sing.
Stare at the clear blue sky.

Pick up the phone and call an old friend. Remember the good times.
Help the needy.
Spend time with people you love.
Write a letter to your future self.

Just do something.

Strength

"Stay strong"

That is a phrase said to us at hard times...

but what does that mean?

Despite the fact that it is impossible to obtain one definition for the word "strong",

but it just means:

determined. powerful.

"Stay strong" means:

Don't freak out in spite of the hard time you're going through.

It takes a patient person to have strength.

Quotes

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. 

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Above all challenge yourself. You may well surprise yourself at what strengths you have, what you can accomplish.

-Cecile Springer 

Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.
-Plato 

No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come. 
-Victor Hugo 

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. 
-Friedrich Nietzsche

What this power is, I cannot say.
All I know is that it exists
and it becomes available only when you are in that state of mind
in which you know exactly what you want
and are fully determined not to quit until you get it.
-Alexander Graham Bell

I could do nothing without problems,
they toughen my mind.
In fact I tell my assistants
not to bring me their successes for they weaken me;
but rather to bring me their problems,
for they strengthen me.
-Charles F Kettering

Discovering

It's really weird when you have spent many, many years with yourself; 24 hours a days, 7 days a week. You've been with yourself all this time; through the ups and downs, through the rights and wrongs, through the good memories, through the childhood. You've heard everything you said and you know about your fears and all the battles you fought bravely, but still:

You don't know yourself.


But every single day you live, you explore the things you have inside your mind, your heart, your character.

That is what we do everyday; discover, discover, discover.

Dreams

Dreams will always seem
that they are dreams,
until
you
decide to make them come true.
Then, you will see
that they are nothing but reality
that is hidden over the hill,
that you will only find,
when you decide to climb.

Mountain

I look up at the mountain.
I remember well
everything that happened
the day I fell.

I had been walking forever
and climbing even more
since the opportunity came knocking on my door

I was excited
to rise above the others,
prove that I am special
one way or another.

I did my best
I was almost there
after spending days
exposed to the cold air

I reached the mountain top
I was on top of the world
Thought "I am above of the others,
I'm the best girl"

Everything was perfect.
I was ready to plant the flag
then I would leave
and start to brag.

But, out of the blue,
pushed me a scary bird,
I fell off the mountain
without saying a word.
