"INSPIRATION"
"People are like stars...we all have our own special light that shines from within. Sometimes we find our light to be dim and we struggle to shine... but that is when we need the light shed from the other stars to help us light our path once again. A true light that comes from within, from our divine Maker is so brilliant that it penetrates into the souls of the other stars onto which it shines, leaving it's impression for eternity. Are you shining for someone today??"

I thought of this analogy while trying to cheer a friend up. I believe that people come in and out of our lives for a reason...each person has that special something; that inner light, a smile, a touch, a helping hand or a listening ear. We are meant to grow as people from the light that we shed on each other. My hopes are that we learn to shed the same light as that of the brightest star of all...Jesus Christ!

When life is hard I always say this quote to myself!
Let it be known
To those, you and I,
There has never been a reason
To not reach for the sky
For those who have wisdom
Will surely know
It is not where you have been
But where you will go

Help me be the best I can and always do the right,
Guide me in the path of your everlasting light.
I know that you are with me and will never let me stray,
For as long as I have faith in thee
You will always guide the way.

Always remember that God will never leave you, he is always there to comfort and support you. He loves you and will never let you down. He will always guide you and help you choose the right path. JUST HAVE FAITH!!!

My thesis groupmates and I often recited this, to motivate ourselves when we were still in college...and it really worked! So, I'm sharing this thought with everyone.

This thought makes you a real bold human being. People come out of their fear and start doing a lot of good.
I pray for your smile,
It reminds me of shining stars in the sky.
I pray for your everlasting sparkling eyes,
That would be the favorite dream of mine.
I pray for your consistent success, although I know,
The sky of the success will make you disappear from me.
But I pray for your happy life.
I pray for the path that would bring,
Love and happiness, peace and hope for you.
I know you are going far away from me.
I know one day I will lose you.
But one thing that you would never know,
You would never understand, even I don't,
That I pray for you till my last breath.

These lines prove that unconditional and true love is still accessible in today's world. But if you think you have found it, don't delay to express your true feelings. Be expressive.

F.R.O.G. (Forever Rely On GOD)
When you find that your life isn't going like you planned or how you hoped it would just remember that GOD is the maker and he has a reason for everything. It took him just seven days to make the moon and the stars, the sun and the Earth, and Jupiter and Mars. How lovingly patient he must be because he is still working on all of us.
While you wait on your turn don't pick out the bad things, pick out the good. Bring out the good in all things, but don't make things bigger than they actually are. Like GOD, work on the big things first but don't forget the little things. Our lives are like beautiful tapestries on a wall; the black strings are as important as the silver ones.
God has a plan for all of us. Believe in him and he will lead you to your destiny because he believes in all of us. Be optimistic and follow your heart. Rely on God for yoru map on life and he will make sure you achieve your dreams.
