I miss you

As I sit here watching the day fade into night, as the shadows swallow the remnants of the day I miss you. Its so strange to find that as the night wears on I miss you more. I'm engulfed by an overwhelming sense of unease, restlessness takes over forcing me to sit by my window and gaze out into the night. I miss you, plain and simple. Like a haunting melody stuck in my head on repeat, I miss you.

Getting It Done

One of my resolutions was to get healthier and exercise, it has been so hard to get the exercise part done. Doing sit-ups and squats when I remember that I need to exercise does not count much for fitness. Procrastination is such a terrible thing, I spend my days procrastinating about something or other and when the day is over I sit there feeling sorry for myself and telling myself that it will be better tomorrow only to procrastinate again the next day :)

Well no more, I have started taking walks in the evening, granted it's not all that exercisey but it's a step in the right direction. Well concerning this fitness thing that I have decided to take seriously now, it  might take a while but I believe I will be out jogging in  little while.

Fitness and good health is a lifestyle. It's not just about losing weight or getting fit, it encompasses the body, the mind and the soul. The harmony of these three elements is what will determine the end point. Visualise the goal, keep going and live it! Granted some of us were initially allergic to fitness but as time goes on it's all about maintaining the body, having a sound mind and happiness. So here's to eating healthy, drinking lots of water and fitness.

Staying True

Life is a continuous cycle of self discovery. Constantly pushing you forward and urging you to discover your true self. Obstacles in the way nudging you on to meet them head on. All through life we find ourselves trying to make sense of it all, to find a way past the madness and insanity.
Life forces you to find your strengths and make decisions about who you are and who you want to be. It is in these moments that we discover who we are, in these moments that we come to realize our strengths and our worth. These times allow us to build more layers onto our character and make us who we are.
When times come which test our resolve it helps us to stay true to who we are.
Staying true to ourselves is what will help us through any situation.

Falling into the Darkness

In the past week things seem to have taken a turn for the worst, throwing me head first into a pit of  comfortable misery. As I come face to face with the reality of how far I have let myself fall,
It hit me just how easy it is to slide into a hole of self-pity and self-judgement and general madness. It is a place i don't want to go again. For some reason the downward spiral towards sadness and depression is quick to come, forcing you into this dark cocoon where you feel like thats where you belong and where you want to stay.
Often it is so much easier to wallow win this darkness than to face the reality that life does go on, the world doesn't stop turning and neither do you stop growing. After coming to this realisation I slept better than I have in the past few weeks. I know it wont be easy but I'm willing to do it and succeed. My happiness lies in my own hands so I'm going to make it happen.

Don't let your stresses get you down, your worries be a shovel that you use to dig yourself into a pit. Always remember to pray and keep the faith. The light at the end of the tunnel is there for those who want to see it.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everybody. I'm sure everyone has made their resolutions and gone through that "new year, new me" phase. Anyway the previous year had been a tough one but I guess all that I can hope for is a breakthrough this new year. One can never turn away blessings and prosperity and success and all the good stuff.
One of my resolutions is to stress less and be a better, happier human being (it counts as one), anyway I have always been a person who worries a lot and stresses about things I really have no control over. It is so hard for me to let go and allow God to take control and steer my path. This year that is one of the things I would like to improve on, just stress less and actually just enjoy the present as it is, bringing happiness to all that I come across. Wishful thinking for the most part but I'm sure it can be done.
So with great uncertainty I face this year trying not to worry and trying not to stress, holding thumbs, crossing finger and toes, praying earnestly and keeping the faith that it will be an epic year full of happy memories, lessons learnt and all good things and the strength to conquer all the bad that may come along with all the good things but above all else I wish for a year of happiness.

Peace, love and happiness for 2014

Believing

Believing is accepting something as true or real. I often find myself longing for my childhood where my child like innocent allowed me to believe in anything. Sadly, as we grow older we shed the innocence as we get engulfed by the worldly influences, we stop believing in magic and wonder and people and even ourselves. We forget who we are in the midst of the chaos and the continuous hustle, striving to reach unattainable standards slowly drowning our own potential in a pool of self-doubt. Consumed  by the set standard we start to feel we aren't good enough and generally just not enough to be the people we are meant to be.
Believing in ourselves is the first step to getting anything, knowing you are capable of copious amount of greatness, believing with all your heart and soul and never giving up on yourself.

Everyday we turn ourselves into shadows of our greater selves, mere slaves to the lie that we can't be better or do better. On days were it would seem like things are at their worst and that the pit you have dug yourself into is so deep and theres no way you can dig yourself out... believe. Believe in you, believe in whats in you believe without a doubt that things will get better and believe in your world. Its not easy to throw years of submission to the voice inside that was always telling you that you aren't good enough, but fight and believe.

Believe in others, believe in life, believe in love, believe in truth, believe in happiness, believe in your dreams and believe in yourself.

Peace, love and happiness
