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.

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.

It is a good life, risk your happiness
Yesterday I was walking home from the train station after school and I was listening to a song by OneRepublic, it's called "Good Life".
OneRepublic - Good life

Despite that there are downs in life and that we encounter difficulties. Life in general is good. After feeeling down, you will be uplifted, and after the rain the sun wil shine again and after the night the morning will come.
What makes life so great? In my life it is the people around me. My family and friends. Because in good times they are there to make me laugh and in bad times they are there to comfort me. So even in bad times, people make life good.
I also enjoy life because of what it gives to me personally. It gives me a opportunity to be myself, to be more and to develop, and if we take these opportunities and makes something with the time we have been given here, you will enjoy this life.
I'm wondering, what would life be if there were no downs? Would I be happy? Could I know the difference between happiness and sadness? Would I know how to laugh, to feel empathy for other, or to make other happy when they were down? Would relationships really mean anything if there weren't ups and downs? Would people matter if you really didn't make an impact at all? I need to feel sad to feel happy. That is my conclusion and sadness is actually one of the things that makes this life worth living, because then I know what happiness feels like.
And I was thinking who has responsibility for it to be a good life? My friends? Are they supposed to make life livable for me, my family? Are everyone in this world just existing to make me happy? No. I have to make my life good. I have to act and bring happiness into my life. I have to risk being sad, in order to become happy. And if you do not risk creating that happiness for yourself, then you will be sad.
Reach out to someone today, someone you have wanted to talk to or to do something for or to get to know better. A friend you haven't talked to in a while, a girl or boy you like, but have been to scared to talk to or a person you know needs some encouragement. Risk to be happy.
Life does go up and down, but mostly it is a good life, risk your happiness.

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://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.
