Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts

Eugene March 22nd, 2014

I hope you can help me add uplifting and inspiring quotes here.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

Failure isn't just a type of experience; it's probably the best kind. It can only make you a better person.

Sometimes, the best "medicine" is to get outside of our own wants and desires and do something to make someone else happy :)

This is an unorginal probably plagerizedinspirational thought I have:

All people love themselves and because they do they take care of themselves and aim to be happy. Whilst, this is true. Not all people know the healthiest way to go about it. Therefore, I see a lot of mean people who put down others are in one-down one-up relationships which is not recipricol or ideal. And today I realize all the negativity that comes from people, all their meaness small or huge, visible or not, impactful or unconsequential roots from the techniques wehave at getting ourneeds met. Which means that at ourcore weare innocent pure longing people, and of course we are all deserving of love, dignity, respect, and compassion.

It is our responsability to learn how to improve ourselves. How to effeciently and effectively get our needs met without harming someone in the process. Turning our unhealthy techniques/bad habits of getting our needs met in to healthy proactive habits/techniques.

The other unorginal inspirational thought:

Since we are all focused on our selves. We become so selfish and so bent on never getting hurt. As to live our lives where no one can touch me without consequences and they will pay for it, make them think twice about ever messing with me mentality. And yes there must be a mechanism to hold ourselves accountable. But the pointed out mentalityis tooextreme. It does not have a healthy balance. It is too vendictive. To the point where any thing slightly resembling an attack or a transgression against one is responded with and to be honest it is giving a reaction without much thought into striking back. And in reality most attacks and transgression done onto one is done by someone who they themselves feel they have been attacked or transgressed by us. And, we donot know how to communicate this effectively and efficiently, nor civily.Hence, spiralinginto attack and counterattack back and forth. Because we forget the other person matters, we both matter, and if they are attacking something is hurting. We forget to listen. We forget to care about others, about each other. Because we are so self-focused in an unhealthy way.

And the third unorignal thought:

We have to make allowances for each other... we do not know how to do things sometimes and need practice and to be taught. And we will fail. We will mess up. But at the end we supposedly love each other. So love each other.

It gets complicated when the other party, in my case, my dad, just wants things his way is narcasistic and so therefore he will say at the end that he loves me but only after I have admitted that I am wrong and he was right when it wasn't so. Only after I say things are his way when I have a right for my essential existence and to have people make room for me. In that instance hopefully none of you have to go through that.. well, it is best to not admit to something that is not true and to call out the person by saying I know you have a strong ego that always says you are right and don't really consider the other person so much or how they experience things or how their is truth to their experience and only see things strictly from your point of view and even when you see them from mine you somehow then shift it to yours and misconstrude it making you always right. Never acknowledgingthe existence of the other person, me. And I forgive you for it and I feel hurt by it. And, I am sorry you feel that way. But that is not how things are. I respect you anyways. And leave it at that.

All relationshipsshould be equal. Any relationship where there is a character that thinks he is always right and things are always what he thinks and how he views it and it is always his way. Get out of that relationship or formboundaries if it is your family. It is not healthy. And it is not our fault. That in my experience I was taught that they were always right even if I knew something was not right about it that I was wrong. And, they were always right about it. And it never was what I believed was right that was right. Even when there was no doubt that I was right. It is scary my dad even made me believe that it was strange that I say Hi to people I didn't even know. Simple things like that that brought happiness to me. It is a very severlycontrolling realtionship which I am at with this family of mine.

At any rate my point is never stay in an unhealthy relationship. Always love yourself. Always believe that you deserve the best. And that is the truth. For everyone. Never settle for less. Ever. And if people cannot make allowances for you nor take the time to understand you comprehend you or listen to you nor ask you questions to better understand nor give you time to explain yourself.In essence don't get to know you and make all sorts of conclusions on just outsider observations run from that relationship. as fast as you can. Not worth it. ever. even if it is your very own family. We deserve the best.
