1. A friend is everything

    34

    Someone we trust, 
    and someone we care. 
    Our deepest secrets, 
    with a friend we do share.

    Times when we're lonely, 
    and covered in fear. 
    A good loyal friend, 
    will always be near.

    A friend will not criticize, 
    nor ruthlessly judge. 
    Towards our dreams, 
    faithfully nudge.

    Attentively listen, 
    and offers advice. 
    A friend keeps no tabs, 
    never looks at the price.

    Picks up our stress, 
    and brings joy with a joke. 
    A friend feeds us laughter, 
    in memories we soak.

    A friend is everything, 
    and always much more. 
    With a huge smile, 
    a friend opens the door.

  2. A magical spell

    17

    Kindness is a magical spell—performed by enlightened beings—meant to enchant hearts and lift weary souls that they might fly. ~Richelle E. Goodrich
  3. Be the living expression of God's kindness

    12

    I like how Mother Teresa put it: "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile." If you approach life this way, always looking for ways to build instead of to tear down, you'll be amazed at how much happiness you can give to others and find for yourself. ~Sean Covey
  4. Nobody has a perfect life

    31

    Nobody has a perfect life. We all have own problems. Standout and learn how to deal with it in a better way. Stop giving up hope, because you never know; it could still happen. Life is all about taking risks. If you stop taking risks, then you'll never know what you are capable of. When you let go of what is not meant to be, you clear a path for good stuff to find you. You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to live someone else's life. Live your life now you are magnificent in your own way of dealing with life. ~Kemmy Nola
  5. Having to let go of things in your life

    52

    They say you don't know what you have until it's gone. But the truth is, you knew exactly what you had; you just thought you'd never lose it.

    Its true that sometimes we really don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we never may know the things in life that we have lacked in until they arrives. In order to live your best life sometimes you are faced with having to let go of things in your life that you never thought that you would have to let go of. The things in life that make us happy are things in life that we must take proper care of, but are things that sometimes die for reasons that have nothing to do with our own lives.

    Sometimes we are faced with the question of losing something or someone and we then give the effort that we should have always given. Finding a delicate balance in life is a very difficult task, but we must give forth a mighty effort in everything we do at all times, doing so will show that you are always appreciative for what you have, and will make instances in your life that you are forced to let go easier, because chances are it won't be your fault that you are forced to let go. By J. Johnson

  6. The Little Things

    509

    The little things are most worthwhile–
    A quiet word, a look, a smile,
    A listening ear that's quick to share
    Another's thoughts, another's care…
    Though sometimes they may seem quite small, 
    These little things mean most of all.

  7. kindness

    119

    What could be greater than to realize this?
    That kindness is the way to all gain and all knowing
    That kindness is the only thing that ever matters
    What else is there to be which takes us further
    Than being kind to someone for no reason?
    Other than to be kind!

    Loving those around us is the only way to anything
    Because there’s no distinction between them and us
    When we give to someone, we give to ourselves as well
    Not because giving might bring us some nice reward
    But because that person is us and we are them!
    Not just similar to us, for that's not enough 
    We're each guided by the same force
    And made of the very same stuff!
    Kindness is our greatest gift to ourselves
    Kindness is our birthright and our responsibility
    Kindness is our way home 
    Kindness is the true religion of all the universe!
