Be proud of yourself.

See how far you’ve come? Be proud of yourself. If nothing else, one day, you can look at someone straight in the eye and say: “But I lived through it and it made me who I am today.”

“be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”~ Mother Teresa

Do you believe that there are no accidents in life?

Do you believe that there are no accidents in life? Everything happens for a reason. Every person we meet will have a role in our lives, be it big or small. Some will hurt, betray, and make us cry, to be become stronger. Some will teach us a lesson, not to change us, but for us to realize our mistakes, to help us grow, and make us a better person. And some would simply inspire and love us to make us happy.

Anything that happens in our lives is always for a purpose. If you take it positively, you’ll benefit from it, but if you take the vice versa, it’ll break you.

No matter what happens to you in life, you control how you feel and react to things.

A strong Man can handle a strong Woman

Strong is the opposite of weak. In terms of a strong man and strong woman it’s talking about being emotionally strong. Emotionally strong people are confident, happy and optimistic people. Handle means, to deal with or understand. So in other words a confident, happy and optimistic man can understand a confident, happy and optimistic woman. Wouldn’t you agree? Now to the second part, A weak man meaning, an insecure, miserable and pessimistic man will say that a confident, happy and optimistic woman has an attitude. An attitude means, she has a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior. Why? Because a strong woman does not think the same way as a weak man does. They are opposites so they will counteract each other. Naturally a strong woman that is again confident, happy and optimistic wants to help the weak man become a strong man and by doing so the weak man thinks negatively and does not see that, which in turn makes him feel more insecure then becomes defensive and thinks negative of the strong woman and he feels like she’s giving him an attitude. This can go both ways too. A weak woman can perceive a strong man as having an attitude as well. Really doesn’t matter the sex. Depending on your experiences and if you are a weak minded or strong minded person you will all perceive this in two different ways. Just like a weak minded person will think the word handle means to control and a strong minded person will see that the word handle means to understand. Realistically, there is no right or wrong, again its all a matter of perception. ~ Melissa Hope
