Be Kind for Everyone You Meet is Fighting a Hard Battle

Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. This was once said by Plato. It is very beautiful and meaningful.


Sometimes life proves to be unfair. Things do not work the way you want them to. No matter how much you try, you have to try even more, and you cannot get things to the way they were.


You have experienced such times in your life one time or another. People get laid off. People lose their loved ones. People have to leave each other, etc.


All these situations represent change in our lives, which by the way in most cases we do not like very much. We want things to stay the same all the time. But that is not the case, and it is only through changing that we can learn and grow.


Some people anticipate change, some embrace it when it arrives, and like it, and some hate it. No matter what your attitude toward change, it is here to stay, so we had better like and enjoy it, otherwise we cannot be happy.


No matter what the change or the nature of it, you will go through a process of transformation, and you will have become the change once the process is over.


It is sometimes too hard to stay on track while you are going through some kind of change, and you need to know how to maintain yourself so you can keep moving forward.


One of the very valuable resources you can use at such times is your friends, family, your contacts, and those who love you.


Sometimes you do not need any material thing; you would not be satisfied even if you were given the whole world. Sometimes you simply need someone to listen to you, to talk to, and to share with them. Sometimes you need someone who listens to you without being any judgemental. And when you need it, nothing in the whole world can be traded for it.


If you want to have people in your life that care for you, you need to care for people first. In other words, you need to pay it forward. You need to be there for those who need you, treat them as you would like to be treated if you were in their shoes, care for them, and really connect with them. People around you are the most valuable resource in your life. You are going to need them all throughout your life.


It is simple to have good and nurturing relationships. Whenever you meet with someone, pretend as if you were meeting with the most important person on the planet, and you are on your way to becoming a relationship wizard.


Thank you for reading. I would appreciate your comments.

All The Answers Are Already Within You

We all face problems in our lives that paralyze us one time or another, but all the answers are already within us. You can find them on cue if you believe they are there, and will not see them, if you believe not so.


When you have a problem, you must face it early on, or it grows in size and importance, and creeps into other areas of your life sooner or later. For example, if you have financial problems, you can start early in life, read books, take courses, join communities, or do whatever you can do to permanently solve the problem. If you put it off, as time goes by, it gets much more complicated, and much more difficult to tackle.


It is important to note that we have our own share of problems for each time period of our lives, and each must be dealt with on time. If not, they will be carried forward to the next stage of your life, and before you know it, you will have a pile of problems, and not much time to work with.


It is also important to note that problems are the best tools for us to learn and grow, and if you are looking for one, there is a seed of an opportunity in every problem that you face in your life.


All the answers you ever need all throughout your life, are already within you, no matter how complicated the situation. The only thing you need to know is how to go about solving your problems. you need to start gathering information from the inside, rather than relying on the outside sources.


You might not have the solutions to someone else's problems, but you definitely have the solutions to your own problems since they are your problems. You just need to keep looking for them, and trust the intuitive little voice inside you, although in many cases it seems to be totally irrelevant.


It is interesting to know that no matter where you are in your life, you are a perfect human being with all you ever need, integrated within you. Your whole life purpose is to realize this as a result of finding your own perfectness over time. It takes time, not because it has to, but because you think it has to. It is not about developing the skills you want to have or need to have; it is all about realizing the fact that you already have them all. You have heard it said that you cannot teach anybody something they know nothing about; you just remind them of what they already know. Patience, as you might already know, is your best friend in this process.


There is always something between you and whatever you want to have in your life, and it is always you coming in the way. Let the natural flow of life flow within you, and you will be a perfect manifestation of all you can be, or want to be in no time at all. All the answers are already within you.


Thank you for your attention.
