There are times when people around us feel like crap; they feel down, insignificant and hurt. In this time your words of kindness can be a help in a tiresome and dark everyday life.
Relient K - More than useless
http://open.spotify.com/track/3tdqxPtYmf3LqsjQC8KS72
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLkMA3wn70Q
Like in this songs there are days when we can feel like there is no purpose to our existence, you might feel unwanted, feel like you have dissapointed someone or will fail someone, and you wonder if you are any good at all?
In these times think of the great value a word of kindness, of encouragement or of praise can have for this individual. A single word can make a person feel loved instead of feeling worthless. aHve you ever thought about what a great influence you can be for people if you encourage and express love? Have you ever thought about how great things people can achive if you believe in them?
Like Relient K lets us know, it is great to have a person that thinks you are "less than useless".
Your words are more than just words, they offer meaning and express feelings, You words can express feelings of gratitude, encouragement and love. To uplift, encourage, help and motivate. Sometimes your words don't do anything and some times you use them to discourage. Let's use our voice and our words to uplift and motivate those around us. The people around you are actually affected by what you say. They look up to you and belive your words to be true.
In the past few weeks I have been taught the meaning of having goo friends. Friends that encourage, that uplift and makes my days better. They endure my sadness, they tolerate my bad mood and they carry my sorrow. And at the same time they encourage me, they help me be active and they use of their time to make me feel better, to tell me that I'm good and that I will be ok.
So when people around you think that they cannot do something, you have to promise them that they will get through it and that they will do something right and that they are worth something. And don't just do it now, make it a part of you. Look around you and use your time and words to save people from themselves and assure them that they are more than useless. Like my friends helped me feel that I am more than useless.

Painted youself into a corner? Are you going to choose the easy or hard way out?
This weekend was something we call General Conference in the church, its a satelite transmitted meeting worldwide that lets all of all leaders talk to the entire world at once. You can read more about it at http://www.lds.org/ and http://www.mormon.org/. Today I want to give you some impressions I had from a talk from meeting. And these songs might give you an idea of what the talk was about. I will especially encourage you to listen to the first song and read the lyrics.
Relient K - When I go down - Lyrics (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/relientk/whenigodown.html)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOBs8dU4Pb8&ob=av2n
But at this conference there was a talk that impressed me. In this talk the person gave an example of a man painting the floor of a room and he had the bright idea of starting from the door and then painted himself into a corner. A well know mistake for most of us. But his point was that when you are in this corner that you have painted youself into there is no window and no door and it seems like there is no way out of there, well there still is a way. But it will be a painfull and you will have to repair the damage. The solution is to walk over the floor, ruining some of the floor you have already painted and then fixing it again afterwards. It will hurt your pride, it will hurt the floor and it will demand some work.
How many of us would like to just paint ourselfs a window to escape out of when we have painted ourselfs into the corner? Why are we looking for the easy way out? Looking for the quick fix and running away from the difficult path of redemption. What happens if we do this?
In stead of going through the hard way, that might seem overwhelming we choose the easy way, because we think that we can escape our problems by not facing them. We think that if you don't have to face them we don't have to face the though and hard feelings that come with facing them. We thikn that if we run it won't catch up with us and we can continue living like nothing happened. But what are the consequenses of running?
We also let go of a wonderful opportunity of learning. We might leave someone hurt behind and do not heal their or our wounds. And you leave the past to haunt you. Like a bad consience that never will let you feel comfortable with yourself again.
What if you choose the hard way? What if you take the pain and face the hurt, problems and troubles that you have caused? Like diamonds and coal we need to be refined and it burs. But when you do this you say yes to the opportunity to learn from your mistakes. You are proving that you are not the proud one that declines help and refuses to see that, like everyone else I also have flaws. And that makes you kind, merciful and human. And you accept that each situation has something to teach you about life.
A part of the hard path is doing good what you did wrong. This will help you get closure. Either if it was towards yourself or towards others. You must forgive yourself or others, or apologize to yourself or others. And the ghost of your past will not haunt you. But leave you with a feeling of peace, calm and you will have become wiser.
So whenever you think about taking the easy way out, think about what the consequences of that choice is. Do you want hurt feelings and your conscious to haunt you. Or do you accept that every hard path is a way to learn and get closure in your life. Healing yourself and the people around you. Don't run, but face the opportunity in front of you. You problems do not go away simply if they are ignored. (Relient K)

If you believe me, you are gonna have to disbelieve yourself
Have you ever met a guy or a girl with a low self-esteem, and no matter what you tell them nothing can make then change their mind about themselves. This has frustrated me from time to time. I care for these people and it hurts me to see them hurt themselves and I want to help. This song from Relient K really makes my point clear.
Relient K - If you believe me
http://open.spotify.com/track/1xGVYkIqnzHXDNlr9kvWBv
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmQcg0GLLaU
The chorus in this song goes "if you believe me, you are gonna have to disbelieve yourself". And thats what I feel when I meet these people. Don't believe what you are telling yourself or what you mind is telling you. Disbelive that. And believe me when I say that you are AMAZING!
I think this could be a large part of helping yourself. Don't beat yourself up over failures, don't think that you have to be different, you don't have to be someone else, you don't have to do what everyone else is telling you. You are you and you are great. And there is noone like you. Disbelive all that you think that others need you to be and be comfortable with yourself.
If there is something you want to change and you feel that this is something you need and that you feel will be good for you, then do the work for it to change. If this is something you don't want, but others want of you, then don't do it. And remember that if there is something in your life that you cannot change, then stop thinking about it. There is nothing you can do about it. And you are amazing just the way you are.
Turn to the people that love you. They love you for a reason, and it's not because you suck! It's because you are amazing and you have something to offer to the world and us that noone else can.
You are you, and YOU are AMAZING, don't be me or anyone else.

Do break-ups break even or is one hurting more?
When you break up with someone there are always two different stories, two different paths, two different hurts and two different ways of recovery. One thing is that it always hurts more for one person than for the other. One is breaking up and when is getting broken up with. I have myself this year experienced both of these. In the beginning of july I broke up with a girlfriend and in september now my girlfriend broke up with me. And there is a difference between the two.
One of my favorite songs describes this very good.
The Script - Breakeven
http://open.spotify.com/track/1fyysXwSGNtMeqMBLwW3SI
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzCLLHscMOw&ob=av2n
It it is normally the case that for the one breaking up the hurt starts before the break-up, when he/she realizes that this relationship is not going to work and then it ends up in a positive feeling at the break-up, where the pain of breaking up and hurting someone turns into relieve for the person, because the hard part is over and the right decicion might have been made. I'm not saying that it's not difficult after the break-up, because you still feel bad for the person you broke up with, but you feel that you have made the right choice so it's mostly a positive feeling. These are the steps that I have been able to identify for the person breaking up.
1. feels insecure about the relationship
2. feels that it is not right anymore
3. feels that he/she should break up, feels bad about it
4. gathers the courage to break up
5. breaks up
6. moves on and is relieved, but feels sad for the other person
The one that has gotten broken up with might have caught on to the clues that have come over the time before the break-up, but this person usually still feels that the relationship is good and that he/she still loves or is in love with the other person. Often the break-up don't come as a shock, but still you hoped and believed that the time would never come. In my case this last time it did come as a shock though. But the break-up always feels like a shock no matter what and realizing that it is over and trying to forget the other person is hard. It hurts.
1. the shock with depression and hurt
2. realizing that it is over
3. trying to open his/her heart again
4. trying to let the person out of his/her heart
5. finding out that there are other people that can make me as happy as this one did
6. trusting him/herself to let other people in again after the hurt
So after a break-up there are always one that is hurting and one that feels relieved. This can turn into complications. Often the one that has the positive feeling, feels sad that it is over, but still wants to be friends with the person. While the other person that is hurting still feels that the only person that can make him/her happy is the person that just broke up with him/her and everytime he/her looks at that other person he/she feels the pain of not being able to be with that person anymore. How can you be friends with someone you want something more with?
So when a couple breaks up the pain meets in the middle. The person breaking up hurts till the break-up and the other person hurts after the break-up.
So the next time you break up with someone or are broken up with, think about what the other person is feeling. It might not help you feel better, but it will help you understand why the other person is acting as he/she is.
Some other good break-up songs that describe the process of breaking up are some of Relient Ks songs. These songs range from trying to break up, the hurt of falling, accepting it, getting over it and finally moving on. Enjoy!

The beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair
"The beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair". This sentence is taken from a song that I posted on my Blog on tuedsday. Relient K - "Be my escape". I was for some random reason singing this song in my car on my way home today, and started pondering this sentence.
Relient K - Be my escape

Grace is defined in a dictionary as the free and unmerited assistance or favour or energy or saving presence of God in his dealings with humanity. Grace is a gift of God and is not considered to be deserved by the individual. It is also defined as the exercise of love, kindness, mercy, favor; disposition to benefit or serve another; favor bestowed or privilege conferred. (http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/Grace)
So grace is a free gift, often of mercy or forgiveness, which is not deserved by the person recieving it. And I was pondering, does it make life not fair?
Grace is actually not fair is it? The fair thing would be to be punished for what you have done wrong. If you drive to fast, then justice would claim that you should get a speeding ticket. So what is grace. It is an act of love, an act that defies justice, that renders it wrong.
If you have done something wrong to a person and that person forgives you, then what you have done has been claimed not to be wrong of the person you offended and the sting and hurt of the action has been eliminated.
Do you deserve this? Probably not. But is it your decicion? No it's not. But what will you be happy for this gift? Absolutely. Does this feel fair for the person that offended someone? Probably not. But the offended person gets closure and feels relieved. So who will benefit the most from this. Probably the offended person. But even the offender can get relief, but only if he regrets and accept the gift from the offended with open arms.
Grace is a possibility to do something more than what is fair, something that is more than what someone deserves, its to give someone an exeptional divine gift. So i will give you the challenge at the end of this blogpost. Give that gift to someone in the next week. The beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair, it makes it so much better than just fair.

Teenage Dream
Today I want to present my favorite song at the moment. It's an acoustic version of Kate Perrys song "Teenage Dream" by Boyce Avenue.
Boyce Avenue - Teenage dream (Made famous by Kate Perry)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAUMU3QQE6w
I LOVE acoustic music. Have you often noticed that in popular music you often don't listen to the words, but more to the beat. There are so many good songs with wonderful lyrics out there that we never notice because we never listen to them properly. I would normally not listen to Kate Perry songs, but this acoustic version of her song really made me realize that there actually can be a beautiful message in most music.
In acoustic music there is also more focus on the message, the feeling of the song and the vocals, but the sweet gitar or piano sounds blend in to the lyrics so beatifully. Just listen to the difference between the original and Kate Perrys version -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRuCCfgyUHE
One thing I love about this version by Boyce Avenue is also that they have changed the lyrics so that is not unapropriate. One of the changes they have made is for example in stead of: "Let's go all the way tonight, No regrets, just love", he sings "let's just talk all through the night, there's no need to rush". I hate how a great song about love and romance always has to be ruined by talk of sex. I think love is a feeling and that feeling doesn't have anything to with sex. Sex is one of the ways of expressing that love later on i a relationship. But the feeling of haveing found a new chrush or a love is just wonderful in itself. I love the sentences below from the song. These describe me very much when I've fallen in love.
"You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream"
"I might get your heart racing"
"I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete"
Another example of a song that turned great acoustic is Relient Ks "be my escape".

One of the changes they have made is for example in stead of: "Let's go all the way tonight, No regrets, just love", he sings "let's just talk all through the night, there's no need to rush". I hate how a great song about love and romance always has to be ruined by talk of sex. I think love is a feeling and that feeling doesn't have anything to with sex. Sex is one of the ways of expressing that love later on i a relationship. But the feeling of haveing found a new chrush or a love is just wonderful in itself. I love the sentences below from the song. These describe me very much when I've fallen in love.
"You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream"
"I might get your heart racing"
"I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete"
Another example of a song that turned great acoustic is Relient Ks "be my escape".

Hope for every fallen man
In this blog I will discuss and post the music I love. Music is more than just catchy tunes, it's lyrics with meaning, words from the heart and often personal experiences. I will not only discuss the music, but the lyrics and the topic of the songs. I hope you will enjoy it.
Todays song is inspired from an experience in my own life. It's by Relient K and is called "Hope for every fallen man". You can find it on spotify eller på Youtube.

Just a few days ago I was dumped by my girlfriend. This is an experience most of our young hearts have experienced. It can be a time of a large range of emotions. Often these emotions are powered by the hurt.
Hate is one of them, how could she do this, why would she want to hurt me when she said she loved me? Another feeling is the feeling of loss, which often is strong. You got dumped, you still love her and there is nothing else you would love more than for her to change her mind. But will it happen? Unsecurity is another feeling, did this happen because of me? I'm I not good enough? Did I do something wrong? How will I get trough this?
What about her? Do you think it was easy for her to dump you? She might actually have loved you, she might actually have been sincere about her efforts in trying out this relationship, she might actually have done her best in trying to adapt to you. But it just didn't feel right. Are you justified to hate her for that?
What is the correct way of feeling after a break-up? Most of these empotions is often something you have to go though, it's a part of the healing process. And I have often felt a large range of all of these emotion. But this time it was different. I didn't feel anything else than loss. I didn't blame her, I didn't blame myself. I just couldn't stand the though of loosing her. That she wouldn't be the one for me, that she wouldn't be in my life. I genuinly felt sad because of the loss.
This song talks about this range of emotions that you could feel in this healing process. But the message is that there is hope for every fallen man. Remeber. There are millions of other girls/guys around your age that might be as good or better than the one that just dumped you, and you better believe it even though it feels hard right now.
