"The more bitter the experiences of life, the sweeter the story."

Many are passing through pains and complains. They prefer easy lives, rather than the tough ones they are passing through now. But the more bitter and painful your experiences in life, the sweeter the story becomes when things starts to work well for you.
"Sometimes when you feel so much pain in your soul, you don't realize that everything happens for a reason. Life, family and different situations teach us so many things. We need to enjoy everything, not suffer. Let's be strong!!!! Let's be better!!! Always, always remember this!!!! "

I'm passing through a difficult time and when I feel this way, I just remember that I'm not alone. I keep in my mind that this is just a moment!!! It doesn't matter, because it won't change my life or my attitude!!! I came to this web site to find an answer and I found it!!! This makes me feel much happier than a minute ago because I asked to God to give me an answer to my questions and these web pages gave it to me!!

"Depend on faith to bring you home safely when you're feeling the crashing waves from the stormy sea called life. Depend on hope to uplift you, bring joy, and fulfill your story filled eyes and set them at ease. Depend on your mind to give you the confidence and the strength to overcome any battle, as you are not alone. With faith and hope by your side, you can raise your head high and take on any challenge that attempts to get in your way. Nobody can ever take that away from you!"

"The beauty of life is that this instant before us is the moment in time that really exists. The past is history that has long banished. The concerns for tomorrow must not rob us of this one beautiful day. Living today right will create strength to take care of our future... whatever it holds. It's within every human spirit's power to choose the attitude of success; to grasp on to gratitude, cheerfulness, selfrespect and love. We can choose to greet each moment as our very own last breath, with all of the awesome joy enthusiasm, kindness and thoughtfulness that a grateful soul will emanate."

Only
The innocence
Of the heart
Can hold dreams
Within
Like the sigh
Of love
That comes
From a kiss
Within
The spirit of loving
The surrender begins
And these shivers
In the heart
Only
Innocence
Can give

"Each and every moment is sacred."
Written in 2006 by Simon Heighwaya --- United Kingdom
I came to understand this while going through a very empty, void-like period in my life. It felt like days, weeks, months were just passing by and nothing was happening. I went to visit a good friend of mine who was very pregnant and she told me that "any moment now" the baby was due. I thought about this for a while and it hit me that in every moment of existence someone somewhere is being born, someone somewhere is dying, someone is getting married, someone is getting divorced. Life-changing events and experiences are happening in every single moment, no exceptions!!
The bottom line is that not a solitary moment exists that is not for a divine reason. Each and every moment is a God-given opportunity for something, anything. The choice is yours!!
