Personality

"A beautiful personality is magnetic and illuminating."

     A recent experience compelled me to write about personality.  It really struck me how someone's 

attitude and mannerism is the best thing about a person.  I was sitting in a fast food restaurant having a 

quick lunch.  A young man seated across from me started a conversation with the cashier.  He was 

pleasant and complimentary.  He told her the food at that location tasted better than the food at 

another of their location.  I happened to agree with this having eaten at both locations.  Throughout his

conversation, I just kept thinking how friendly and polite he was.  It all seemed genuine which made 

me believe that's his natural personality.

     Then I thought of how sad it is that we live in a world where many don't realize that someone's

personality alone can make them beautiful.  Instead this world places more emphasis on a person's

career, earnings/money and looks.  We read these stories where some good looking, rich people with 

superstar status are accused of hitting their spouse/partner.  It dawns on a lot of us that we wouldn't

want to live with such a person although they're highly successful and gorgeous.  Their personality

makes them undesirable.  It's reasonable to blame this in part on our society where shiny material things

take precedence over our actual character.  We often make the mistake of pushing someone's 

personality into the background and have had to pay a heavy price for this.  Now is a good time to pay

close attention to people's character as it is the thing that matters most about us.

Starting Over

If only we could start over, the sky would always be blue and our love would always be true.      So many of us wish for a "do over." We wish we could step back into time and do some things differently. We don't like some of the results we have now so we want to go back and change our answers. We may find ourselves asking the question: What could I have done differently with the  same tools or opportunities that I had then? Now more than ever I understand why we sometimes think like this although it may be entirely fruitless to do so. After all we can't change the past, what is done is done. However, it may help us to find peace with our decisions if we turn them inside out, analyze them and determine why we made them. This could help us to make less choices that we will regret later on.      Getting older certainly can play some tricks on our mind. It has made me think more and more about when I was younger. This, of course,...

Perseverance

"There's darkness and light, sunshine and rain. Nothing remains the same."      Life is a battle in itself. Every day we fight for or against something or even someone. As soon as  we cross one river, there's another to cross. This is why we can often feel like throwing our hands up  and just give up or give in. The light at the end of the tunnel may be taking too long to appear.  That's when we feel like it's all too much and we just can't be bothered anymore. However, when that  wave of hopelessness crashes into us, that's when we have to become a skilled survivor, ride it out  and come out on top.      We have to remember that nothing remains the same, after the darkest night, the sun still appears. When we keep on fighting that's when we get rewarded for not giving up. But we have to believe that things can change for us. When we embed hope in our heart, the light appears.  I went throug...

Companionship

                     "We can touch each other in so many ways,                  throughout the nights and the days.                  You don't have to be near,                  as our love travels through the air" I have heard more than one real life case where someone passes and they are only discovered some days  later on. This is due to the fact that they lived alone and also largely went unnoticed. So many thoughts cross my mind whenever I hear of this. You wonder who were their loved ones. Were those who cared  about them far away? The most unsettling thought is that they may not have had anyone who truly cared for  them. I recall reading an article where it detailed that the man lived alone, ate alone, slept alone, and died  alone. This was all to solidify the point that lon...
