Whether it be
family, friends, loved ones or acquaintances
When someone believes in you,
in your skills,
in your character,
in your potential growth
that is a priceless and immeasurable
It gives you the strength, confidence and passion
to strive to be successful
in all that you do
In turn,
the belief in oneself
becomes a powerful force
in sustaining you to overcome and persevere
in any venture you decide to undertake
The greatest gift
that you could give to the ones that you love
are memories
Those precious moments
can brighten the most darkest of days
and
give warmth to the coldest of nights
Those golden memories are
beautiful and joyful
and to share that moment in time
with someone
is something that will last forever
Don’t be too preoccupied
chasing your dreams
to stop and cherish
those around you
that allow you to do so.
Be appreciative
of those that support and guide you in life,
they are the ones
that help to create
a clear path
for you to move forward
Life is a blur,
so stop
and
take the time
to bring things into focus
Spend time
with family, friends and loved ones
Do things that are
amazingly great or
incredibly stupid
Life is a blur,
so make sure you take a snapshot
of those special moments
because
it’ll last you a lifetime
Life is too hard
to go at it alone,
so make sure to have
your
family and friends
beside you
to aid you in
your journey
Breathe it in,
everything around you,
the smell of nature,
the warmth of the sun,
the coolness of the rain,
breathe it in
You’re going to worry about work,
money, and material things
but nothing will compare
to how fast time will pass you by so,
breathe it in
The chaos you’ll encounter,
the daily grind you endure,
breathe it in
Even when the monotony
starts to set in,
breathe it in
All the wins and the losses
breathe it in
The time with your family and friends,
breathe it in
Every moment of your journey in life
breathe it in
Enjoy all the big moments,
but truly relish the small ones
because when all is said and done
when you look back on your life
you’ll realize they were all big things,
so…
just breathe it in
The power of faith, family and friends are immeasurable – they provide eternal hope, unconditional love and tremendous support
Sometime when we are
stressed, depressed, worried or have anxiety,
being alone in our thoughts
can be unhealthy
So take a step back, breath,
clear your mind
and make it a point
to seek out family and friends
Spending time with them
will reset your perspective on life
and will help you gain insight
The wonders of
friendly advice, loving support and good laughs
will do your soul wonders
So relax, for it’s not the end of the world
You will get through it and
come out stronger in the end
with a robust confidence
backed by an eternal well of hope
Despite what a terrible year 2020 has been, I’m thankful that I got a chance to strengthen my relationships with my family and friends…even connect with long lost ones. It helped me to lean on them for support and I learned that regardless of what life throws at you or what obstacles arise, if we face it together…together we will persevere.
