Get inspired.

I got an email from a friend from SFI today who really inspired me with her ''thank you gift''. I was so inspired that i couldn't sleep rather i took up my iPad and began to scribble down stuffs that were going through my mind. There is this feeling that comes when you get a ''thank you'' for doing the things you love to do.

Here are some thoughts i will like to share...i hope you enjoy them!

Sense your emotions. Holler. Cry. Yell. Talk it out. Pray. Feel down if you're blue. The key isn't to prevent your feelings. That will only make matters worse. Feel pitiful if you're sad. Feel furious if you're angry. Sense your pain. Feel. Take a bath and shout. Talk on the telephone with a friend and weep. Go see a counselor and cry out. Crying is great. Release. Share your feelings with the higher power. Share your feelings with family. It's O.K. to let yourself carry out the emotions.

Forgive other people if they made errors toward you. Forgive yourself if you've make errors. Forgiveness is cardinal to advancing from your past. Forgiving other people doesn't mean you'll forget. But if you don't forgive, you'll never advance. Forgive for you. Forgive yourself if you weren't there for somebody. Forgive yourself for stating something you didn't mean. Forgive other people for not presenting you a chance. Forgive other people for things they've done to you. Forgive and relinquish the past and advance!

Accept the past for what it was. Accept what occurred. Accept the loss. Accept the hurt. Acceptance is key to marching on from your past. You're on your way to freedom by admitting what can't be altered. The past lets us learn and experience other matters. The past is the past tense.

Live life without any fear. Live with no sorrows. Live for those you lost. Live for desire of something fresh. Live for the trust that brings individuals back together. Living is key to releasing the past. Live a life of delight. Live a full life. Live to help other people. Living a good life doesn't mean the past didn't occur. Don't quit. Live for you. Live and release the past and march on!

See you at the top!
