A Ray Of Hope

The support system everyone needs

1691
A Ray Of Hope

A person requires support from his family, friends and his/her society. We are busy and occupied with our lives and have a certain bond or dependency with them. When we are emotionally down, we need a pillar of support. In other words, a ray of hope to get back on track. Family often comes first and they are the closest to us. Some of them look forward to support from different sources. They may be through family, pets, work or sports. Loneliness would be an area of concern and should be addressed in the right way. People feel lonely in this monotonous world and they need someone who understands them, cares for them and loves them. Happiness always results from good values and traditions passed along through generations.

A sad part of our lives is that each and every person has a vacuum in themselves which they often do not reveal to others. This emptiness must be filled through joy and happiness. I often see a lot of cases where people take drastic decisions and leave this world and it pains us that they did not have someone to support them at that point of time. We need to make changes to understand others and care for each other and support one another to live at peace in this society.

Life is an opportunity and it has ups and downs. Parents and teachers need to educate children to be strong and face the hardships in life strongly. The way we think could make life so much easier and fun. Optimism, Courage and strong will power to face challenges in life must be taught to young children. Money is not everything in Life and we should embrace our society with love and care for each other. We are all equals in the eyes of the Almighty. A ray of hope is what we must see through the darkness and the path would lead you towards the brightness.

When in sorrow, we usually have two ways to approach it. We could think of other people who have endured more sorrow than us or we could engage ourselves in activities as to bury the sorrow we are facing. Positive thinking definitely helps us move forward in life. This ray of hope can be brought about by our family, friends and dear ones who act as a support structure in our day to day lives. Always, respect elders and be nice to children and enjoy every part of life since life is a precious gift from God to us.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
