Letter to God (my personal release)

Dear God,
I know that you have been looking down on me and seeing all of the things in which have been occurring in my life. Some good and some bad. God, I am having so much difficulty at this moment with various things and I think you may know exactly what I am talking about. I have been trying very hard to become closer with you because I know that you will be able to guide me in these endeavors. However, sometimes I stray away from you because I let the bad get the best of me. I know that I should put my faith in you 100% and understand that things will occur no matter what. Whether I am prepared for them or not. I have neglected you for a very long time and it has not been fair to you. I am speaking to you in this form because writing is my release from all stress and it helps me to let go of many negative emotions. I am having many doubts about certain things that I know I should not. I have so much love and care in my heart, but it seems to slowly disintegrate. This world is very cruel at times and it is harder for me to put trust into anyone but you. I have been working on learning to trust and I must say it has not been an easy journey. I will be very honest with you; I am scared of disappointment and failure. I am scared that the things I am most happy about will soon disappointment me. I am scared that I will not succeed in the form that I would like to succeed. Even though I am scared I am trying everyday to maintain positive thoughts with you in my mind. You have never let me down and I know that you have put these things in front of me for a purpose. You love me more than anyone in this world could ever love me. The tears that have been brought into my eyes have only helped me grow as an individual in the long run. I watched this movie Letters To God and it touched my heart so much. I think this is why I chose to write you a letter in my blog. I try to talk to you every single night, but I feel that writing to you can help me bring a closer relationship with you. I just want to know one thing. Why is that I always seem to make myself disappointed almost each night with things that probably don't even make sense? I get so confused as to why I look at things in my life and begin to question them all the time. It can be something so great, but I question it by asking myself why is it happening? There must be something wrong if it is happening. I know in my heart I shouldn't be doing this to myself,  but God...it's difficult. I promise with all my heart and strength that I truly do try to fix this about myself. I don't know how long it will take, but I really do put my trust into you. I want guidance in helping me to become a better person. I've made so many mistakes in my life and you are the only person that will still love me unconditionally. I am not a perfect person, but I have been trying to be the best I can be. For myself and for the people I love dearly in my life. Help me have the strength to continue to do this in my life. Protect those people that I love with all my heart and guide them in making the right decisions. I know some of them have neglected you, but I know you have a place in their heart. Help guide them to find you and be able to love you as much as I have learned to love you. I try to stay positive for myself and mostly for you. All you want is to be loved as you love all of us on this earth. I love you with all my heart and I hope that I will able to conquer all of these fears I have. With you in my life I know it can happen, I just must learn to be patient.

Love Yourself

Have you ever heard of the phrase "You must learn to love yourself, before you love another"? Well this is TRUE. There are a selective few of individuals whom tend to criticize themselves worse than what another person would. These people have various insecurities in themselves and tend to have a necessity of having another person in their life to make them feel happy. However, what they do not recognize is that if they need to always have a romantic relationship with someone then in all honesty they do not truthfully love themselves. How can you be happy with someone else if you can't even be happy by yourself? Here is my best advice that I can possibly give to those whom feel fit these descriptions. Take some time to yourself and recognize the things that make you the most happy without having someone by your side. Enjoy what life has to offer and experience things that you might have never encountered. Try to occupy your time with activities that make you the most happy and maintain a focus on it. Also, if it helps; write down the things that you feel are the best qualities you may have. Look them over each day so you can remind yourself that you will be okay and that you are a good person. Appreciate who you are as an individual and try to learn some more things about yourself. You will be surprised when you have some time alone how much you can find out about yourself. Once you feel that you are truly happy with yourself as a person and able to love yourself for who you are, then try to incorporate a romantic relationship with someone. It is very hard to care and love someone else when you might have insecurities or doubts about yourself as a person. How can someone else love you if you can't even love yourself? When you are happier with yourself, your relationships with people become ten times better. Take this to consideration in your life and you will be able to see much improvement in your romantic relationships and any other type of relationships you have with people.

Making A Negative To a POSITIVE

You ever felt like whatever you plan for yourself, usually backfires? It is because of this that you find yourself becoming negative towards the situation and just feel like throwing in the towel.  However, the best way to deal with these type of backfires is by focusing on the good of the outcome. Maybe it was not supposed to occur at that very moment. I say this many times because in all honesty, even though it can be the worse feeling, it is 100% true. Every negative outcome can essentially become a positive one in due time. We must open our hearts and mind in seeing the positive in things. If we continue to dwell on the negative, then moving forward becomes extremely hard. Here's a perfect example.

You've made plans in finding a job and place to live in another location in which you live in now. Everything has so far been going smoothly and you will soon be on your way to working and living in the area you've wanted to be in for a while. Suddenly, a week before you are set to move to your new location you are faced with an unexpected issue in which ruins your whole move. Due to this issue it is almost impossible for you to make the move during the time you were supposed to. Therefore, you have to stay in your current location for a couple more months before you can make this move. You have to call your new job and state your reasoning as to why you will not be able to start when you were supposed to, which then creates a big stress level for you. Also, you would then have to call your old job to see if they would re-hire you for the time being. If your past job does not take you back, you will then have to look for a new job, which then creates a WAY bigger stress level on you. 


Many people are faced with situations such as this one and it can completely ruin your plans. Negative thoughts will then run through your head and essentially will make you just want to give up.  However, as I've mentioned before you must try to find the positive in this. I know at the moment it may be very difficult to do so, but it will help you to overcome the bad of it. Make the best out of the situation and continue to work hard. You never know where things may lead you. Always maintain positive and never give up on what you want to accomplish. In the end it will only make you a stronger person in life.

Forgive

I'm sure everyone has heard of the phrase "Forgive and Forget".  However, how many of us actually do this? Especially when we felt betrayed or hurt by people we care about the most. Here is my personal opinion on forgiving those who have hurt us the most. Throughout our life we are certainly going to be faced with MANY disappointments. In order to move on from disappointments by others we must forgive them. I am not saying what they do is correct and that we should continue letting them hurt us. However, forgive them for what they have done and continue with your life. As I've spoke about before in past posts; be the bigger person. Speak your mind about how you may feel about the situation and then forgive them. Pray for those individuals so that they will no longer provide this hurt to others as they have done to you. Always remain true and do not grow a hatred towards a person because of their faults. Each person on this earth will sooner or later realize that they were wrong whenever they have hurt someone. Providing negative anger towards them because they have done wrong does not give that person a sense of thought as to why they were in fault. By forgiving them and doing what is best for you will eventually open that individual's eyes as to why they were wrong. You are not giving in when you forgive a person. You are merely showing them that you are better than that and you are indeed a good person at heart.

Don't Give Up

Josh Groban-You Are Loved

There are moments where things may be going wrong for us and we feel as if there is nothing else in which we can do. This happens when we feel as if everything we do just goes completely wrong. The first thing in which comes to our mind is; "Why does this always happen to me?" In all honesty it's not that bad luck seems to follow you; it's just the fact that things occur for a reason. Maybe what you planned to do wasn't meant to happen at that very moment. During these type of moments it is hard to really think of it this way. I too have been faced with moments in which I just felt like giving up, but in all honesty it really isn't the best way to go about the situation. In going through these situations we should try to remember that regardless of the setbacks there is still one person out there that will always be there for us. That one person is God. He will always be there to listen to you when you are facing problems in your life. You need to have hope that things will work out and the disappointments are merely blessings in disguise. Never give up on what you believe in the most because every obstacle that you face makes you stronger. It may take weeks, months, maybe even years until you reach that one goal you've always wanted to accomplish. No matter how long it takes you never give up on it. Keep the faith always and maintain being positive. Things will work out for the best.

Live Your Life

"Live today like it is your last" This is a quote that many people try to go by each day. However, they do not always go by it like they say they do. This is a quote that we should all follow because it is the honest truth. We do not know if tomorrow will be the day that we do not wake up from our sleep. For instance, do not take advantage of the people that care about you the most. Appreciate that you have them in your life and let them know it. Do not have the attitude in your mind that those people should already know how you feel about them. Although this may be true, you never know if tomorrow you will be able to express that feeling towards them. Also, try to do things you enjoy each day. Try not to waste your days away by doing nothing. Sometimes, it may be difficult to enjoy your days because there might have been something or someone that ruined it for you. However, we as individuals can not let those things effect us. We must try as best as we can to be appreciative for each day that we have. You do not necessarily need to leave your house in order to enjoy your life, but you can wash away the negatives and keep moving forward. Why let a person or situation effect your day? Still do the right things and try to maintain positive. Continue moving forward in your paths and appreciate what life has to offer. Always remember, those that care about you maintain them close. There's nothing better than having the people that care about you most around. Those are the people that can help motivate you in life.

The Little Things

In our world today almost everything is about money and expensive material things. It is through this that we sometimes forget what are really the most important things in our lives. Of course we need money in order to live and support ourselves. However, we must not solely focus on money. We are sometimes blinded by money and don't seem to realize that it ISN'T everything. Take a second and think to yourself what REALLY matters in your life. We should focus on being closer to our families and understanding that those are individuals that will not let us down. Even if we may not have the best relationship with our family we must at least try. Family is so important and it is a beautiful thing to have in our life. Also, if you have a faith and believe in the Almighty Jesus Christ then seek Him. Don't be afraid to go to Him whenever you need Him most. Begin having a pure relationship with Him. All things in which occur in our lives are merely temporary. It is temporary because once we die we will no longer have what we once did. However, one person that will permanently be with you is God. Whether you are alive or not. If you do not have a faith in Him; that is perfectly fine because you have a right to believe in what you please. However, it is still important to value what is truly important in your life. Always remember to be real with yourself and to give back. Don't become a greedy/unkind person. Even if you feel as if no one has ever made you feel good about yourself, don't take it out on others whom don't deserve it. Don't let past experiences ruin your chances of being the person you are set out to be. It is honestly the little things in life that are considered important. Money comes and goes; however the way you treat others is permanent.
