What My Lokai Bracelet Really Means To Me

I’m sure most of you have seen the clear, rubbery bracelet that everyone seems to be wearing nowadays. If not, it looks like this...

This is the Lokai bracelet, and it holds a great deal of meaning for many people that wear it; however, it has become a fad, but it's way more than just a fashion statement.

When you're going on the roller coaster of life the bracelet helps you find balance within yourself so that you don’t let positive or negative events affect you too intensely.

The black bead has mud from the Dead Sea inside it--showcasing the lowest point on Earth. This is to remind you that sometimes when you’ve hit a low, you should stay hopeful. The white bead contains water from Mount Everest--the highest point on Earth. Reminding you that sometimes you’re on top of the world, so stay humble. The clear beads represent that you just have to keep going, the way Dory explains to Marlin (Nemo's dad) "just keep swimming" when they go looking for Nemo.

I never realized how much an article of clothing could actually help me stay centered and balanced when things in life start becoming too stressful, and when things were going only straight up on this roller coaster for me.

It’s a resemblance of hope, and an example that you can’t become arrogant once everything in your life is going the way that you want it to be.

If everyone could find that one thing to get them through their roughest moments, and allow them to remember that you are to stay humble with your good findings because karma is always around, I think that there would be a lot more happy people in the world.

Life is a mixture of a roller coaster and a circle combined. You're going to go up with the good times, and down with the bad times, but you know that during those bad times that roller coaster will circle right back around to the good times. And during those good times don't allow room for regrets.

No, I am not saying youneed to go buy this Lokai bracelet to find your balance in life. I am just stating that this Lokai bracelet has brought a lot of comfort to me and my life situations.

It allows me to realize no, I am currently not located at the lowest point in the Earth buried in the mud of the Dead Sea; I am still above that no matter how terrible I am feeling at that moment. The bracelet also allows me to think, OK I am at this amazing point in my life, but I'm still not at the tallest peak of Mount Everest, I can either stop now and gloat in my own glory or keep going and see how much farther I can make it.

It helps support me on my journey, wherever I may go.

I love my Lokai bracelet, and I am extremely thankful for the creator of the bracelet, Steve Izen, that came up with the whole idea. It's truly pure genius.

If you do have a Lokai bracelet, don't ever forget what the tag says that was attached to the bracelet when you bought it.

"Water from Mount Everest: sometimes you're on top of the world. Stay humble. Mud from the Dead Sea: sometimes you've hit a low. Stay hopeful."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
