Happiness & pleasure contradict each other

What will you do when you want to get out but you can't?

Which is better, the easier or harder way?

Life's not a bed of roses. It is imperfect and that makes it perfect enough. We tend to bend towards a shortcut than going through a long way when we experience any form of loss; money, career, loved ones, etc. In a way, shortcuts will not get you to the top in life. Morever, they may deteriorate your sanity! Pleasure is temporary while happiness is eternal so if you want to be genuinely happy, interpret its vast difference. Well, pleasure can be an antidote to sadness too but it does not work efficiently because we always crave for more later on and soon, might end up with more troubles. In life, realise that pleasure aligns with pamper without affecting yourself and others to the black side.

Common errors:

"I've been hating how life is treating me!...so,"

• Thinking that alcohol will do it well
• Thinking that going to clubs can let loose or de-stress yourself
• Thinking that drugs like ecstasy completes your doomed life
• Thinking that violence/revenge will solve it all
• Unconsciously being selfish by manipulating/hurting/affecting the others
• Thinking that gaining a whole sum of material things will change your life
• Thinking that waiting for something uncertain to happen is a good idea
• Thinking that someone/something will make your life wonderful
• Thinking that I'm fated to suffer on earth, I give up

STOP & STARE! - Nonsensical right?

What's the right thing to do then?

• Just drink water, eat more bananas & chocolates (scientifically proven that this can make you feel joyful)
• Don't go to night clubs. A club where you can exercise and do other healthy activities is so much better
• Drugs are a NONO. Take vitamins instead! Keep up your health cover
• Hatred won't solve anything because it grows. Love your enemy and forgiveness is an open door
• Be selfless towards every earthling. The benefit of selfishness is a pile of dead guilt. Do thing that will benefit yourself and the others
• Holding on to things regardless of value is of the same value. Take material things as rewards that will be gone when you die.
• Don't wait for something to happen. Money doesn't rain down from the sky everyday. WORK on it, CHANGE. Make it certain if it's uncertain
• You're not a toy to anyone out there because you control your own life.Only you can make yourself feel the best out of life. If someone were to do that, treat that as kindness
• You're here on earth because you're lucky. Lucky to have lived on this beautiful planet where there are so many things to be explored. Live the right way and you'll know how lucky you are to be here!

Stuck? Don't!

“Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.” - Dalai Lama

Feeling troubled?

Lost? Confused?

Depressed?Lifeless?Hopeless?Weak?

Don't worry! It's not the end yet :)

Never give up & hang in there!

Make a change, not forgetting your values. Happiness is not something ready made, it comes from your own actions.

How you feel is important; gratitude, peace, happiness.

Every moment is a chance to do something great. Why not fly?

Treasure your loved ones. Be selfless, put smiles on their faces!

Happiness is shared & its radioactivity will never stop!

For yourself & others,

For the world that you live in,

For the reason why you're born

With metta,

Back and since then

My Heart & Mind,

Blue birds without wings,

Silent without fear

I saw a monk smiling,

When Sun meets moon in the morning,

Like a submarine trying hard to float,

I saw pink but embraced blue

It was real and priceless,

Yet so vulnerable,

Aligned a smile with a teardrop,

Beautiful and hurtful

Rare but worthless,

For it went to waste,

That hidden treasure,

Not sighted nor felt,

So deep,

For it went to waste

Fate chose deadlocks,

The dying rose finally arose,

Dust became glitter,

Words to Melodies,

Needless to memorise,

What wasted,

The blooming rose never stops,

Dancing and singing,

Even when Sun meets moon

The Road Not Taken

You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

Every living being is given a gift. Used, misused, untouched, dimmed or enlightened, it depends. It's a gift to expand with wisdom regardless of life mystifying mysteries. There's a soul burning in you now while you're alive and its flame changes from time to time. When it's dim, light it up. What makes the inferno? Not magic nor miracle. It's you, yourself. The world is so big and you're like a microtiny thing so why not fly and reach out as far as you want? The destination is not the main point but, the process of everything you catch and let go in life. Whether you may achieve it or not, what matters most is the memorable yet meaningful experience you've never thought would embrace you. That makes your soul spark for another gain or the other dream. Dreams are exciting but with a wise heart, they're struck through the realms of reality. Great things are always the invisible around you. Even the greatest treasure lies inside you. Find it and don't just stare at it.

My Cup Of Tea; Picked by fate

Your presence is a present to the world

You are unique and one of a kind

Your life can be what you want it to be

Take the days just one at a time

Count your blessings, not your troubles

You will make it through whatever comes along

Within you are so many answers

Understand, have courage, be strong

Do not put limits on yourself

So many dreams are waiting to be realized

Decisions are too important to leave to chance

Reach for your peak, your goal and you prize.

Nothing wastes more energy than worrying

The longer one carries a problem the heavier it gets

Do not take things too seriously

Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.

Remember that a little love goes a long way

Remember that a lot … goes forever

Remember that friendship is a wise investment

Life’s treasure are people together.

Realize that it is never too late

Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way

Have hearth and hope and happiness

Take the time to wish upon a start.

AND DO NOT EVER FORGET ….FOR EVEN A DAY HOW VERY SPECIAL YOU ARE !

Looking Up To Her

Her album, Fearless has won platinum. Not only because of her melodious songs but, her truely warm lyrics. Joe Jonas had shot her in her heart so this is what gets now; Self-success! She's been strong, independant , herself and a believer. Prince charming's on his way to her as she believes in true love and fairytales. Through her songs, I gained confidence by telling myself that she would've had similar thoughts, feelings and beliefs as mine. Most of her works are about boys including Joe who broke up with her unreasonably. It became the first source of healing for me. Plus, I look up to her a lot. Her attitude, energy and style are creative and inspiring. She's just like any other girl out there living her own dream. Indirectly, she might be playing a part of changing the world by inspiring girls who fall in love, go out of love, never been in love or have a broken love.

True healing;compiled by me

'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall

I've found time can heal almost anything

And you just might find who you're supposed to be

I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen

Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest?

That made you run and hide like a scared little boy?

I looked into your eyes, thought I knew you for a minute

Now I'm not so sure

So here's to everything, coming down to nothing

Here's to silence that cuts me to the core

Where is this going? Thought I knew for a minute

But I don't anymore

I'm sick and tired of your reasons

I've got no one to believe in

You asked me for my love then you push me around

Here's to you and your temper

Yes, I remember what you said last night

And I know that you see what you're doing to me

Tell me why

You don't have to call anymore

I won't pick up the phone

This is the last straw

Don't wanna hurt anymore

And you can tell me that you're sorry

But I don't believe you baby

Like I did before

You're not sorry

Looking so innocent I might believe you if I didn't know

Could've loved you all my life

If you hadn't left me waiting in the cold

And you've got your share of secrets

And i'm tired of the last to know

And now you're asking me to listen

'Cause it's worked each time before

You used to shine so bright

But I watched all of it fade

Holding on and days drag on

Stupid girl, I should've known, I should've known

That I'm not your princess

This ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet,

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around

'Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairtytale

I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well

This is a big world, that was a small town

There in my rearview mirror disappearing now

Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now

Baby I was naive, got lost in your eyes

And never really had a chance

When all you wanted is to be wanted

Wish you could go back and tell yourself what you know now

Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday

But I realized some bigger dreams of mine

But I didn't know it at fifteen.
