Positivity Journal

AstridKingsley December 13th, 2014

Hey guys! So many people on this site have had such interesting lives with so many twists and turns and ups and downs, and we?ve all got an inspiring thought or story inside us?something that keeps us going when things get tough, a happy memory, something we?re proud of, someone we?ve helped.

One of our members, CrimsonBike, had a brilliant idea: to create a scrapbook out of the positive thoughts and stories of listeners and members on 7 Cups of Tea, and we cordially invite you to share your experiences and kind words with us. There are no rules! Everything is okay: quotes and stories short or long, even a happy poem or a random uplifting thought you had in the shower. As long as it makes you happy. That?s all that matters.

How to contribute:
1) If you feel comfortable, post in this forum. That way we can all see the positivity and you might inspire someone else to share their happy.
2) If your story is really personal or you just don?t feel like being too public with it, send me a PM, and let me know your thoughts! I?d love to hear them, and they?ll stay our little secret. A link to my account here.
3) No matter how you choose to contribute, your usernames won?t be mentioned in the scrapbook. We?ll be keeping this as confidential as possible.

A few ground rules:
1) Don?t share any personally identifying information?keep real names, addresses, social media handles, and the like out of your contribution.
2) Unless you have permission, don?t share anyone?s 7 Cups username (even though we?re not putting usernames in the scrapbook, it?s just nicer that way.)

Other than that, we?d love to hear your thoughts! So go forth and share your happy!

God created my body and gave it life

sent me to Earth to live and strive

The ups and downs

Happiness and sorrow

life is all a drama today and tomorrow

people come and people go

we learn things as we experience things in the flow

showers of love and blessing

beautiful attires and dressing

though many ofthe things gave me tensions

I have learnt to keep stress away

people keep arriving and parting their ways

My mantra now is NO RESIDUES

to keep myself and people around me happy with just clear dues

Happiness is within us

we search it outside and get into fuss

Introspection is the best way

Self respect is the key

to live in life with happiness and glee

I hope God always blesses me to be comfortable in all situations

Be loving and caring in all my relations

May God Bless Us All

Say AMEN

Why are we so afraid to recover? We've already borne the pain. What we haven't done yet, is see beyond it; we've scaled the bare rock faces, we've weathered the storms, and yet we're afraid to look down and see the earth fall away, we're afraid to see how far we've come. The higher you've climbed, the harder you've fought, the more beautiful the view. Don't be afraid to look down.

I admitted that I needed help when I was terrified of what that might mean. I'm still scared, but that decision saved my life. I now believe that it will get better. For the first time in so many years, I see a future.
