That should say it all, however sometimes is not enough. We sometimes become fixated in what we see outside rather than what we can encounter in the inside. WHY? Who knows! It is part of our human nature to look at others with some hesitation, with criticism, and with caution. Trust is everything. Without trust we do not have any confidence in us or others. So Why is it that when we encounter someone we start to judge rather than give the benefit of a doubt? We do have a pocket full of excuses. So it should not be difficult to come up with a good one. "HUMAN NATURE" or "HE/SHE LOOKS DIFFERENT" OR BETTER YET "HE/SHE LOOKS FUNNY"or "HE/SHE IS TO FAT AND SO ON..... to many to list. Are we so materialistic, empty vessels? We forget sometimes that we might have families that might look funny or might be fat, or to skinny or have a cross eye, but we still love them. Because they are our own blood. We are able to love them, but we find the other ones repulsive, disgusting. WHY IS THAT? I will never understand. After all we are just HUMAN. We are all fighting to survive this WORLD of ours, that seems to be getting smaller by the minute. So what are we to do with those less fortunate? REJECT THEM, because they are not beautiful, they do not have money, they do not live in mansions. I just would like to find THAT INDIVIDUAL WHO SEEMS TO BE PERFECT. So far no luck. But oh boy there are a lot of individuals that claim to be perfect.
"THERE'S SOMETHING MUCH IMPORTANT THAN TAKING
TIME AND EFFORT TO MAKE OUR BEING AS LOVELY AS POSSIBLE.
WE CAN TIGHTEN OUR STOMACH MUSCLES AND SUCK IT UP, PAY A PLASTIC
SURGEON TO TUCK IT UP, OE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO DRESS IT UP,
BUT UNLESS WE ARE GROWING BEAUTIFUL ON THE INSIDE,
OUR EFFORTS TO BE GLAMOROUS ON THE OUTSIDE ARE USELESS. [KP]
So you may want to considered looking inside yourself before spending all your money on your outer shell. After all wont you rather want people to know the real you!!!!!!

Ever take a step and wonder where it will take you! We hesitate somewhat because we do not know where it will take us. Sometimes the fear of not knowing do not allows to embark on a journey and moving forward can be very difficult. So we continue to hesitate. We remain standing still even when we would like to leave our mark on this World of ours. It is better to remain where we are even when we do not seems to understand? We do not want to believe that Our Footsteps can lead us to a World of Wonder, Enjoyment, Happiness. However we should allow our SOUL to go alone. Once we allow our Soul's fingerprints to take flight we will Soar. Once we do that, Our Hearts, Minds, and Inner Most being will become ONE. WE will discover that by standing still WE do not become that which WE were set out to be: HAPPY FEET, HAPPY SOULS, with a great LOVE for LIFE. Because WE allow ourselves to be UNIQUE, LOVING AND PEACEFUL WARRIORS OF OUR OWN DESTINY. We should NEVER think that WE MOST TAKE OUR FOOTSTEPS ALONE. That is the beauty of it all. A journey will only start if WE take the first step. We should not worry about the right direction, or a map. It does not matter as long as we start this journey with TRUST, ENTHUSIASM, HAPPINESS, LOVE, ENERGY, AND A TUNE IN OUR HEARTS. Only time will tell how many footsteps and fingerprints we are going to leave in this World. How many people we are willing to touch alone the way by our CONFIDENCE AND BELIEVES, AND BY JUST BEING OURSELVES. SO LEAVE AS MANY FOOTSTEPS AND FINGERPRINTS AS YOU ARE ABLE. MAKE SURE THE WORLD KNOWS YOU ARE HERE

So true and yet we managed to antagonized those who we truly care about, those who we held as friends, or those who we come in contact on a daily basis.WHY DO WE DO IT? SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS OUR NATURE. It is our nature to hurt those we love, it is our nature to always try to be better than the next person. Because we are always trying to better ourselves even when it means that others might get hurt in the process.
SCATTER SEEDS OF KINDNESS EVERYWHERE YOU GO;
SCATTER BITS OF COURTESY WATCH THEM GROW AND GROW.
GATHER BUDS OF FRIENDSHIP; KEEP THEM TILL FULL BLOWN;
YOU WILL FIND MORE HAPPINESS THAN YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN. [ARR]
Think WISE before moving on, think SMART when spoken to, think PROPERLY when it comes to decisions; because you MIGHT ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO DO GOOD. Do not consider yourself weak when mending someone's life, do not consider yourself troubled when you do not get to the next step. TRUST IN THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT YOU. GIVE IT A CHANCE FOR ONCE; BE HUMBLE IN WHAT YOU DO, HOW YOU DO IT, RESPECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS WILL RESPECT YOU. Life MIGHT get easier, especially when helping someone along the way. You will never know what you might find along the way. Each path that we take will lead us in so many different directions, and while traveling that path you might find friendship again, and again, and again, because YOU DESERVE IT. JUST MAKE SURE YOU HEART,MIND, AND SOUL ARE OPEN FOR THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP.

"So true and yet we do not seem to grasp the idea of understanding each other, of being there for each other. Why you may ask? Because we are to busy. Think about about it, most of the time we do not take time for ourselves, let alone try to understand the needs of others, especially of those who we are suppose to love or at least care about it. That is the reason why we need each other, whether is to listen, to lend a hand, or just to be there in the stillness of the night. Because we care, because we understand, because we dare to love those who are around us, or those who are still in our memories. Actually those are the ones that understand the most,it is them that we take our most inner deepest secrets because they know us from the inside out, and understand where we are coming from. In sorrow, in joy, in happiness, in tribulations, in victories, in satisfactions, in everything that we do we need UNDERSTANDING from family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and those who filled our everyday life. When we give understanding we surely are able to get understanding. That is when we are BLESSED. WHEN TWO INDIVIDUAL REACH THAT GOAL AND ARE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND SHARE THAT WHICH IS PART OF THEIR LIFE IS TRULY A BLESSING.
WHEN WE HONESTLY ASK OURSELVES WHICH PERSON
IN OUR LIVES MEAN THE MOST TO US, WE OFTEN FIND THAT
IT IS THOSE WHO, INSTEAD OF GIVING ADVICE,SOLUTIONS,OR CURES,
HAVE CHOSEN RATHER TO SHARE OUR PAIN AND TOUCH OUR WOUNDS WITH A
WARM AND TENDER HAND. THE FRIEND WHO CAN BE SILENT WITH US IN A MOMENT OF DESPAIR
OR CONFUSION, WHO CAN STAY WITH US IN AN HOUR OF GRIEF AND BEREAVEMENT, WHO
CAN TOLERATE NOT KNOWING, NOT CURING, NOT HEALING AND FACE WITH US THE REALITY
OF OUR POWERLESSNESS, THAT IS A FRIEND WHO CARES. [HN]
As you see that is pure and simple understanding, something that only comes when true friendship exits and is kept alive amongst those who dare to care for each other. Remember even silence can be understood if we are willing to listen, but only true friends knows that when silence is golden it does mean something for the one who understand and remains watchful. Give UNDERSTANDING A CHANCE. You will be blessed with friendship as you would have never imagine. HOWEVER SOMETIMES UNDERSTANDING MIGHT COME WITH A PRICE BUT IS WORTH EVERY BIT OF IT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO TASTE TRUE FRIENDSHIP. Here is for those who are willing to give it a shot, thanks

"Every one of us have the ability to LOVE. There are so many kinds of LOVE. LOVE OF A BROTHER,SISTER, MOTHER,FATHER, a COUSIN,AUNT,UNCLE,a FRIEND and so many others. Of course there is the one LOVE that all of us experience. The LOVE that speaks for ITSELF, and that GENERATES MORE THAT WE COULD POSSIBLE IMAGINE. OH YES I know as well as everybody else that this LOVE for some might come in a life time, while other might experience it more than once. THE TRUE LOVE, THAT MAKES US HAPPY,MOVE EVERY FIBER OF OUR BEING. A LOVE SO BIG THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DEFINE,TO DESCRIBE,TO UNDERSTAND,A LOVE THAT WITH TIME AND NURTURE BECOMES OUR GUIDING LIGHT,STAR OR WHATEVER NAME YOU WANT TO CALL IT. That LOVE takes us to higher place, a place that allows to be happy,a place where sometimes we want to stay forever because it allows to be ourselves. A LOVE like that can not be deny,can not be throw away,can not be forgotten because it circulate through our veins and infiltrates our brains. But because we are happy we allow it. It is almost like a virus.
"TAKE A RISK.OPEN UP YOUR HEART.
FIND A REAL FRIEND AND GROW TOGETHER.
BE A REAL FRIEND AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.[SH]
REMEMBER TO BE HAPPY,TO LOVE NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL THE NEED,BUT BECAUSE IT MOVES YOUR HEART,SOUL,IT KEEPS YOU GROUNDED WITH THOSE AROUND YOU. REMEMBER TO LOVE BECAUSE IT IS THE ONE THING THAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE,YOUNG,AND MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE.NEVER GIVE UP ON LOVE EVEN WHEN YOUR LOVE IT TS TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU.LOVE LAST FOREVER. So take a chance at some of the FRUITS ON THE TREES, PICK THEM UP AND TASTE THEM.DO NOT BE AFRAID TO LOVE AGAIN IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE WHILE REMEMBERING THE LOVE YOU HAD. SO HAVE YOU HAD YOUR FRUIT TODAY?

Ever wonder why there are some people that walks with their heads down! Are they afraid of what they might see or encounter? Maybe they are shy. Maybe they are lonely souls traveling without any destination. Perhaps life has dealt misfortune to them, hence they rather be alone. They rather go on unnoticed. They hide amongst the crowds to avoid to be noticed. What they don't realized is the fact that hiding is never a good choice. Who really wants to go through life alone, with his/her head down? Who wants to go through life without leaving a mark? We all at one point would like to leave a print of our exhistance of what we once were. Sometimes what we need is a little attitude. Because in this time and age, attitude is everything. You need ATTITUDE to move forward. You need ATTITUDE to win the battle. You need ATTITUDE to raise from the ashes. You need ATTITUDE to decide what your future is going to be. We all know that ATTITUDE can bring trouble into our lives, however if we use correctly, ATTITUDE can be very rewarding. It can help us conquer our future, our emotional state, and everything else that we might set our minds to. Some people will say:
"ATTITUDE WILL TAKE YOU FURTHER THAN TALENT"[RBH]
I will have to agree with this idea. Because there are times that even with talent you might not do as well as if you were yourself. As you see ATTITUDE is everything. Dare to be yourself, Dare to dream big, Dare to go out there and CONQUER. However while using your ATTITUDE, Dare to be kind to yourself, your family, your friends, your co-workers and those you meet in the way. Do not be afraid to keep your head high. Do not be afraid to look at those who are in your life in the eyes. When moving forward maintain your head up high. SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF WHILE YOU KEEP LIVING YOUR DREAM.

"Often times we place ourselves in situations that might be uncomfortable at times. We often times set our STANDARDS HIGH just because we try very hard to keep up with the "HUMAN RACE" OH YES The Human Race. I will never understand Why People Most Always Attempt To Race, To compete, To do Better than the next person. It is just a GAME. Some people do know how to play and are able to get ahead with minimal effort. Others seems to take forever to reach their GOAL. Becoming upset with their lives and those around them.
THAT WHICH WE ARE, WE ARE
ONE EQUAL TEMPER TO HEROICS HEARTS,
MADE WEAK BY TIME AND FATE BUT STRONG IN WILL.
TO STRIVE, TO SEEK, TO FIND, AND NOT TO YIELD.[ALT]
Life is going to take us to a JOURNEY, however it is up to US to choose what kind of journey is going to be. Is it going to be Happy, Sad, Successful, or is it going to take us on a Detour that we might encounter New Friends, New Adventures, New Goals, Expectations, and Yes a little FUN. Sometimes we forget to have FUN. Sometimes we keep going without a break, without taking a little time to Smell the Flowers. How long can we go this way? RUNNING TOWARD SOMETHING THAT MIGHT, OR MIGT NOT BE BE OUR GOAL, HOWEVER IT IS NOT A SURE THING. I learn long time ago that there is something for sure, WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TOMORROW HOLDS. We do not even know what will happen in 1 hour for now. So instead of a constant RUSH, WHY NOT SLOWING DOWN A BIT. FIGURE OUT WHAT WE REALLY WANT OUT OF LIFE. MAKE A LIST, BUT DO NOT FORGET TO ADD ON THIS PRECIOUS LIST OF YOURS TIME TO PLAY, TO DANCE, TO SING, TO ENJOY LIFE. WE WILL HAVE TIME TO CONTINUE THE RACE. THAT IS THE REASON WE ARE ALL HERE. WE WILL COME TO THE FINISH LINE. HOWEVER IT IS UP TO US WHETHER WE DO IT AND REMAIN FOCUS. WE HAVE TO REMAIN TRUE TO OURSELVES. RUN IF YOU MOST, KEEP UP WITH THE HUMAN RACE, BUT ENJOY YOURSELF AS YOU GO ALONE. SEE THE WAY I SEE IT YOU ALREADY WON THE RACE. ENJOY LIFE

Most fears come from the fact that we do not know what tomorrow might bring. That is the reason that we can never leave behind "FEAR". We can not just leave it to dry out in the past. It will be easy for all of us if "FEAR" WAS NOT PART OF OUR LIVES. Does it bother us so much because @ times we found ourselves inadequate when doing our jobs, when perfoming a tasks that was asked of us and we do not want to failed? Do we fear for our children, our families, our well being and of course our financial needs? Sometimes I wonder what scares us the most being in the light or in the dark. If we are in the light that means that we are under the constant watch of other individuals, who might look at us for guidance, work performance, social skills,and everything else that comes with being part of the HUMAN RACE. You see we should not be afraid of the dark because the only one watching over us [I hope] is God. We do not have to be perfect. Yesterday is in the past, and now we have to think of tomorrow and sometimes that makes us fearfull. The future is unknown but the present is right now, right here, consequently why to FEAR. We are all meant to shine. Some of you will shine brighter, while others will shine less, but nevertheless we will all shine. So do not FEAR, FORGET ABOUT YESTERDAY, THINK ABOUT TODAY AND PREPARE FOR TOMORROW. IF WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE BRIGHTLY, WE ALLOW OTHER TO DO THE SAME, BECAUSE IN THAT WAY WE ARE TRYING TO LIBERATE OURSELVES OF ANY FEARS THAT WE MAY HAVE. IF WE DO NOT FEAR WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO EXPERIENCE OUR OWN LIBERATION FROM THAT WHICH BOUND US AND KEEP US FROM BEING HAPPY. FOLLOW YOUR HEART, DO NOT LET FEAR TAKE HOLD OF YOU AND KEEP YOU FROM DOING THE THINGS YOU ENJOY DOING. ENJOY LIFE, IT IS OK, EVEN WHEN THERE IS SOME FEAR. REMEMBER THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR ITSELF [FDR]
