Day 2, (January 2, 2016)

You yourself must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically or overnight. You have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life and going to live it to the fullest.

The best way to gain self-confidence in yourself is to do what you are most afraid to do.

Day 11, (January 11, 2016)

Day 12, (January 12, 2016)

Believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Laugh at yourself and try to laugh at other things as much as you can. Laughter will reduce the stress and help eliminate the negativity.

Day 19, (January 19, 2016)

Life is a bowl of cherries. Some cherries are rotten while others are good; its your job to throw out the rotten ones and forget about them while you enjoy eating the ones that are good!

Day 23, (January 23 , 2016)


There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.


Day 24, (January 24 , 2016)

When things go wrong, don’t go with them.


Day 25, (January 25 , 2016)

People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one.

“A lot of things are inherent in life -change, birth, death, aging, illness, accidents, calamities, and losses of all kinds- but these events don’t have to be the cause of ongoing suffering. Yes, these events cause grief and sadness, but grief and sadness pass, like everything else, and are replaced with other experiences. The ego, however, clings to negative thoughts and feelings and, as a result, magnifies, intensifies, and sustains those emotions while the ego overlooks the subtle feelings of joy, gratitude, excitement, adventure, love, and peace that come from Essence. If we dwelt on these positive states as much as we generally dwell on our negative thoughts and painful emotions, our lives would be transformed.” ― Gina Lake

So rest assured, a person doesn’t need to surround anyone or go around finding someone better & beautiful as everything depends purely on everyone’s own nature and no one has a different associates than who s/he is as character in life i.e. a good individual gets only the good, a positive stays always with the positive and so it goes with the others.”

Throw caution to the wind a bit. – Neil Patrick Harris


Day 349, (December 14, 2016)

In society, we have to earn other things of import like trust, respect, money, education, careers, status and etc., so naturally, we find ourselves attempting to earn love, acceptance and validation along with that.

 Why are we doing this?

There is to much unhappiness and depression in the world today and everyone deserves to be happy.

You look around and see the happiest people that seem to not have a care in the world, but generally speaking they maybe suffering from major depression which can kill you, look at Robin Williams as a example, a world comedian, a well known actor, a funny man who always bounced around, full of life, has everything most people would only dream of and yet he had depression which ultimately killed him.

We have had a few friends who have taken their lives because of depression and know plenty more who are suffering with depression, including myself.  people dont choose depression and it doesn’t matter if you are financially stable or unstable, you can have nothing and you can have everything, it can hit anyone and unfortunately it comes with people believing that these people are not normal, but they are. The greater general public must try to understand and give all the help, support and understanding that it is not shameful to have depression. Just like a common cold , it can hit anyone.

I am one of the lucky ones who has amazing support from my wife and a few very good friends to help me realize that life is to short, so I am choosing to take life on for whatever it throws at me and make the most of it. If you have depression, please seek help and turn your life around.
