Let it be Hope!

We all know hope. 

It’s there in our silent prayers, it’s what keeps us taking the next breath, the next step. We may forget its presence but it never leaves our side. It’s your savior in despair, your never-say-never friend who consistently pulls you out of troubles; it holds your hands and helps you cross the bridge when the waters are turbulent. The troubles don’t cease, the despair still remains, but hope gives you the strength to keep going. At the end of the day, all you need to hold on to is strength and hope; strength to know that everything will work out fine, and hope, until it does. Life teaches us that even when things are hopeless, there is always a way. Life has this strange way to defy all the odds and turn obstacles into opportunities. So, why not allow hope to be your companion, while life does its thing?

The night ends when the day breaks in. Good times follow the bad times. No matter how dark the night was, it never stays, the sunlight must shine through. And when the Sun goes down, the stars come out. The birds know that the skies know that, the entire universe knows the ways of nature. They surrender to the almighty and are they ever disappointed? Every situation is temporary and it will change. Don’t wonder how things will work out. They will. Keep the faith. We are all in this together, believe me. We are part of this big plan, we all matter, and we all fit in. Without you and me, the puzzle doesn’t get completed. Every breath we take matters, and every step we move forward, matters. If it was otherwise, we wouldn’t be here. And if we all matter and this all is how it is supposed to be, then why to worry? Why hold on to anything else but the best?

So, I hope that if you can hold on to something in your life, let it be hope. I hope it’s the hope that pushes you forward each time you feel like stopping. I hope it’s the hope that keeps you looking ahead and crossing that bridge, without a bother by the turbulent waters raging in the distance. I hope it’s the hope that assures you that you are exactly on the right path you need to be in life, and it’s going to get only better. I hope it’s the hope that holds your hands when fears make you weak in the knees. So, take time to meet up with hope every day- and hold on to it. It works.

Let the prayer of hope guide you when you stand at the beginning of a new day, bless you with a vision to see the best of things to come, give you the wisdom to make good decisions, and most of all, faith that you walk with Him every step of the way. And if you run out of hope at the end of the day, remember, it's renewable! The new day comes and there comes with it, some wonderful opportunities and some little miracles of life. So hold on to hope for the sake of them!

I wish you luck on this beautiful journey we call life!

Remember the last time you wanted to show your gratitude to someone but paused at that moment and never got a chance back. Or when someone brought a smile to your face but you let the moment pass without reciprocating. Maybe someone hurt you in the past and sought forgiveness, but you still carry the pain of that hurt in your heart because you chose that they don’t deserve your forgiveness. It may also happen that you yourself are waiting to make that apology but don’t have the courage or the perfect moment to do that. These are regular occurrences in our busy lives and believe it or not, we don’t deliberately miss saying those magical words of thank you, sorry or I forgive you. We just sincerely believe there is still time, a lot of time that we are left with, on our journey on Earth. We sincerely believe tomorrow will be kinder and easier for us, and that we will find that magical moment that will help make that long pending phone call or show our gratitude or say our apologies to th...

Remembrance

Image
When your heart aches, which it often will, Remember me with fondness, And the love you behold still.     Let go of the sorrow,   the pain that encompasses you, Cause’ my body may have perished, but my spirit is just as new.   I’m on my last journey, I must take it alone, There’s a light which guides me throughout,   I feel Him, and His splendor, I think I have always known.   We shall meet again, Our fates and path shall cross, Your heart will know, your soul will tell, And there will be peace and joy, across.   Remember the moments we had, And the memories we made, oh so sweet, Keep me alive in your smiles, and your laughs, I want to be set free, until we finally meet.

The guilt trip – Let’s take it!

Image
Have you been on a guilt trip ever? Chances are, yes, and often. It may be that we have really wronged someone in some way or we simply imagined that we wronged someone and then this bad itchy feeling appears from nowhere, which keeps pulling us in the past and worrying us for the future. Most of us have been there, we often let guilt overpower us, sometimes for our entire lifetimes. Most likely, we have at least faced this manipulation tactic, when someone made us feel we weren’t good enough for something or someone and that was enough to make us opt to self-doubt ourselves. This made us feel bad, may be uncomfortable, and imperfect too. But is guilt really such a bad boy?   Can we instead give this bad boy a second chance? Why not let guilt make us uncomfortable and scared? Why not let it help us realize we all are imperfect at the end of the day? And then why not let guilt show us the way instead, or act as our guiding path, that nudge in our arm, a shaking of our soul to mak...
