Don't you feel sometimes like you are immobile in a routine that feels the same every single day?Not to be misunderstood, everyone needs routine, something stable in life ,but too much stability can be boring. Sometimes can make you emotionless to any experience.

In my mind, you can always choose whether you want to be a flower or a tree. 

A flower needs water and sun to grow, as much water you can feed it that much can grow.A flower will always crave the sun to make its own food ,without it the colours fade and the flower slowly dies.

A tree stands still, the water of the rain can be enough to feed it and the sun is always there to shine upon it. It grows until someday it becomes tall and that's it. It stops growing anymore and stays at the same place hundreds of years. 

You can choose whether you want to be fed all your life with new knowledges,growing everyday into something you always wanted to be. Or remain still and enjoy the sun. 

My view to this is that as long as you are young you have to learn new things,grow body and spirit,have goals. But it's always ok to stop in the mindle of the journey to observe. Stop and listen to the voices insides you,listen to the call of your own body and mind. Be aware of the positive things in live and turn your head to negativity . Touch, touch the nature and be part of it.The sun ,the moon reminds you that because you are still doesn't mean that you can not shine. 

A happy life is a life that makes you happy, you define happiness , you choose it.Happiness is something that is not stable and it's not always in the same places you already looked, happiness can also sometimes be found in problems that you didn't thought that you could solve, you find happiness everytime you find out how strong you are to go through situations that you thought you couldn't handle, places that seem to be hell and you turned them into heaven...

"Just because the process hurts

doesn't mean the results won't be beautiful."

You see, to reach happiness you need to know who you are. You need peace and pain,you need to reach high and suddenly fall. You need to trust and be betrayed, you need to love and be cheated. You need both darkness and light and you need to go throug it all more that once if necessary to learn how to use light to lead you through darkness. 

Heaven is a place on earth and that place lives inside you.

Many years of practice, many mistakes that frustrates you, until you understand that there is not always the perfect moment and you are not even that perfect so stop judging yourself as if you were. Choose the things,friends etc. that make you feel good. Oh!And make often something new to you!Be you,but more of it set as goal to be a happy you,as much as you can,step by step and when things go wrong take your time and retry.

"In the end 

we only regret 

the chances

we didn't take."

Hello everyone and welcome back to another new positive blog post.I know that It's been a long time since my latest blog post and I feel sorry for that but September was a month full of changes that I had to deal with and I wanted to take some time to figure everything out.That's why I always say that when you have to deal with something new or with something tough for you,you have to take the time you need to help yourself mentaly to deal with it.

So, I'm glad that I'm back doing what I love and I hope you are too.Today I will write about something that I always say but it's really important for all of us to have it in mind as an advice when things aren't going the way we've planned.

We people tend to make dreams and plans about the near future but things don't go always as planned,in fact life has a lot of ways to surprise us.Usually people feel upset when things go differently because they have never believed that they could live in situations way differently from what they've planned.As I have said before changes are scary but that doesn't mean that they will ruin your life or things will go wrong.
It's really scary when you have planned your life day by day and some day you are found in the middle of "nowhere" trying to get used to a new life,but you know what?That situation will grow you,and you will taste life differently than you used to.Getting far away from your comfort zone will teach you how to stand on your own feet!

"Everything happens for a reason"

You didn't get the job you always wanted,you didn't pass your exams,you didn't go to the university you wanted,your marriage isn't going well and now you are dealing with a divorce,you split with the one who you thought he/she was your life.Those are daily examples of people who have planned their whole life but things didn't go the way they wanted.And it's devasting to know that a whole time was wasted from people who were planning their life.
Now what?
You are going through a tough time of self doubt unable to predict what's coming next,will it be worse?The options don't seem to touch you...
But you know what?Things will go better than you have planned.Losing something doesn't mean that you are lost,take some time,cure yourself but be sure that everything is going to be alright.
You will never have a permanent time of total sadness or happiness in your life.Things will change and if you are at your lowest be sure that you can go up to your highest.Life has another way to show us how we can survive through situations that we've never thought about them before.
You will find a job that you've never thought that will fit you,you will go in the university that you've never thought about it in the past,you will see how it is to be alone without any partner to distract you.And you will get to creat a whole new life,including new habits,new faces.It doesn't seem to be that bad and it's not,believe me.

"Sometimes you have to let go 
of the life we have planned,
to have the life that is waiting for us"

 Hi there!!!

So,the Paralympic Games are already here and it's a great chance for us to get inner power and strength from the stories and the efforts of those admirable human beings-the paralympic athletes!

Each of them has a different story to tell but their common point is that ,in spite of their suffering and daily struggles,they've never given up,they keep pushing themselves,no matter the pain,no matter the biases,to show to the world-and to themselves-that they can definitely do the "impossible"!

Now,when it comes to us,Paralympics have the power to teach us,even better from the Olympic Games,the values of trying,of equality and respect; they teach us determination,bravery and courage and especially,they declare the triumph of the human soul over the evil; an evil that comes from states,societies or even ourselves!

Finally,when these Paralympics come to an end,we'll all remember the joyful faces of those athletes,their superhuman battles but mostly,we shall restore our faith in our broken humanity....

With love,Stefany

Hello guys!!On today's post I will give you some advices to help you achieve and be focused to your goals.Since my last post was about creating a to do list,I thought it could be helpful for you to give you some more tips on how to be stuck and concentrate on whatever you want to achieve!

1. Make a plan.What is your goal?You want to lose weight,you want to be the best in your class/job,You want to make changes in your life etc. People have a lot of dreams and goals but not everyone knows how to actually achieve them!So, make a plan,write it down or let it exist in your head.You want to lose weight,alright,create a plan of exercises and healthy meals.You want to be the best in your class/job,plan the days and times that you need to do your (home)work.You want to make some changes,make a plan and choose from when you want to begin.
   
2. Work for it.Goals sometimes mean sacrifices,you need to work for them.BUT don't overdo it,try as much as you can to have fun through the process,goals aren't meant to stress you!Do the best you can but also make it fun,in that way is going to be much more easier for you to get through them and achieve them.
3. Be ready to fail.This is the secret source for everything you want to achieve.Every great athlete and every successful person in this world have admited that if you want to succeed you should learn to fail.Failure doesn't mean giving up,it means that you are stronger or you become stronger by learning to stand up and fight harder!!!
4. Pick a partener.If you have a friend that has the same goal as you,she/he can be a really good motivation for you to keep going.For example if you want to strengthen your body,do some exercise with you friend,she/he can be a motivation for you to not give up and keep working those abs (or whatever).You can also be a motivation for someone else,cooperation is the key!
5. Determination,determination,determination.I have said it a thousand times!!You've got a goal?No excuses,no second thoughts!!Just go for it with all your heart and all your strength!!!
   

So these are my advices on how to achieve your goals.Eventually,it's all in your mind.You have to persuade yourself that you can succeed in whatever you dream about.I know,that the fear of failure is real but whatever it is going happen in the end, make peace with yourself and be sure that you did your best!

Hello everyone!!!I know that it is kind of early to create a to do list but I think that as school is around the corner and that means that a new (school) year is coming, it will be helpful for you to create a list that will help you realise what are your main goals to focus on them this year,in that way you will be always motivated and organized!

Also,either if you are going to school or not a list is always helpful.After summer holidays we are all a little bit unorganized and we need to go back to our routine.Personally,I have already created my to do list and my to be list.

To do list

What is a to do list?A to do list is a list where you write down the things that you want to do,it is basically you, leaving the past behind with the determination to change and become the new version of you.So I split my to do list into two different lists;the "to do" and "to be"  because I want my to do list to be the things that I actually want to do; for example read more books,create a healthy lifestyle etc. 

To be list

The difference is that in my to be list I wrote how I want my personality to be like,it's actually a way for me to improve myself by clarifying what I want from myself.It's a way to stop those bad habits that don't allow me to grow as a person!

So,I know that creating a to do list can be also a gain or a waste of time if you are not willing to follow it.Personally,I have stopped creating to do lists as new year's resolution because there wouldn't be a chance for me to follow it.But this year I want you and me to make it and achieve our goals so I will give you only 2 tips that will help you succeed and there will be other 6 more tips on my next post on Monday on how to achieve your goals!!

• Be determined.Be sure about which are your goals for this year,think of how important is for you to actually achieve them.That's why you have to be determined and dedicated to your goals and your dreams!Dedication and determination!
• Re-read your list. Repetition will help you remember your list and absorb it so you do things automatically.

I hope that you found this post helpful and I will be happy to know that you achieved your goals!!!Focus on your goals and I'm sure that you will succed!!!See you on Monday!!!

With Love,MaryGrace

Hello everyone and welcome back!My previous post was about how to survive this school year and today's post is about something that sadly is observed in the school areas and we all have to be involved with it and help the victims or even ourselves if we've ever been a victim of bullying to erase this phenomenon.I have never been a victim of bullying but it's sad to know that there are students or let's call  them human beings,because we are all humans after all, who have to deal with it.I can understand how tough it is to be in a place where there are people who make your life difficult ,what's more when this area is your school!!!

And I say this because school has to be the symbol of peace,acceptance and equality rather than a place of fear and hate.That's my opinion after all.But whatever you are through remember that you are not alone and there are many ways to avoid that behavior against you.

For victims of bullying

1. It's very important to tell someone right after you've been bullied.Your parents,your teachers,your friends,they are people who care about you.Don't let bullies have the space to act against you!!
2. Don't let them make you feel weak.Bullies maybe are physically stronger than you but they don't have the privilege to have an actual brain that's why they act violently!Don't let them push you down because mentally you are stronger!!!
3. Don't be embarrassed of being a victim of bullying,it is not something you chose and has nothing to do with the way you are or something.It's their problem,bullies have low self-esteem and they are weak mentally.They should be ashamed of what they are doing!!
4. Be around people who care about you.It's good for you to be surrounded by people,especially with those who will act if you are in danger!!
5. Raise your voice against your bullies and let everyone know about the fact that they bully you,no one likes bullies.Let them know that they don't have the right to misstreat you!!Don't be shy,fight for your rights!!!
6. Change school enviroment if you can.
7. Go to the police if things are getting serious.There are a lot of legal ways to defend yourself.Even if you are victim of bullying or cyber bullying don't be afraid to call for help!!

If you see someone being bullied

• Call for help
• Help the victim defend itself.No violence.Convince bullies reasonably to stop what they are doing,let then understand that they should be ashamed of that.
• Act,don't just watch the victim suffer!Whatever is the situation it concerns all of us.No one should remain silent!!!
• Support the victim mentally to realise that he/she is not weak and you will be by his/her side.Help him/her gain his/her strenght and self-confidence!!

As I said I have never been a victim of bullying but these things are what I would do if I were a victim or someone who saw someone being bullied!!Bulying isn't something acceptable and it concerns all of us.Either way don't stay silent and ask for help!Fight for your right or the right of someone else to live their life in peace!!!Take action!!!

With Love MaryGrace
