RE-BIRTH

"It isn't that we dare because things are difficult;
it is that we don't dare that they are difficult."

I lost a childhood toy... but have the memory of the person who gave me the gift with unconditional love.

I lost the privileges and fantasies of childhood... but had the opportunity of growing and living free.

I lost a lot of people whom I loved and still love... but had the affection and now have model from their lives.

I lost memories of life because I cried instead of smiling... but I discover that, it is from planting love that love is harvested.

I lost many things many times in my life. But in that "loss", today I aspire for the value of "gain"; ...because it is always possible to fight for that which we love; and because there is always time to start all over again.

It is not important the time of life when you tired. Important is that it is always possible and necessary to restart. Re-birthing is a new opportunity; it is renewing the hopes in life; and more importantly, it is believing in oneself.

Did you suffer greatly sometime?
... that was a time for learning.

Did you cry a lot?
... you were cleansing your soul.

Did you feel spiteful?
... it was a lesson on forgiveness.

At times, were you alone?
... it was because you closed your doors.

Were there times you believed everything was lost?
... it was simply the beginning of your improvement.

Did you feel lonely? Look around you and you will see people waiting for your smile, just to get closer to you.

RE-BIRTH

Today is an excellent day to start a new life project. Where do you want to go? Look higher, dream higher, desire the best, life brings us what we aspire.

If we think small; the small will come. If we think firmly on the best, on the positive and we strive for it; the best will come in our lives.

TODAY IS THE GREAT MENTAL CLEANSING DAY. THROW AWAY ALL THAT BINDS YOU TO THE PAST; ALL THAT HURTS YOU. DISCARD EVERYTHING INTO GARBAGE; CLEAN YOUR HEART; PREPARE IT FOR A NEW LIFE, AND FOR NEW LOVE, FOR WE ARE PASSIONATE. WE ARE CAPABLE OF LOVING MANY TIMES, BECAUSE WE ARE THE MANIFESTATION OF LOVE.

LIFE CALLS YOU; IT INVITES YOU TO A NEW ADVENTURE, A NEW JOURNEY, A NEW CHALLENGE. THIS DAY, PROMISE YOURSELF; THAT YOU WILL DO ANYTHING POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE YOUR OBJECTIVES; TRUST IN LIFE, TRUST IN YOURSELF....

Breakup Recovery 101: Five Rules You Must Follow!

Whether or not you were together for two weeks, six months, or four years, breakups hurt. And they can be really hard to get over. If you listen to the wise words of Charlotte on Sex and The City , it takes half the time you were together to get over him. Here are a few more wise words to help make your next breakup a little easier.


Don't Talk to Him


The most crucial rule in breaking up is to not talk to the person you're breaking up with. Even if you think you can handle it and still get over the person, you can't. Don't kid yourself; feelings will get hurt. Take some time off, get over him, and maybe someday in the future you'll be friends. Until then, lick your wounds and recover any way you'd like; whether that be partying hard, staying in bed for days with pints of ice cream, or spending absurd amounts of money on clothes you don't need. No one will say a thing; we all heal in our own, weird ways.


>>My healing started when I found a job. It kept me busy, too busy and too tired to even think about him anymore. Although there are times that I miss him but the pain is not that intense anymore. I knew I was on my way to recovery.


Snap Out of It


Remember how things, like stupid songs and movies and that little spot in the park that you two went to on your first date used to be "yours"? Well, they're not anymore. Don't make a connection to platonic objects when there isn't one. Remind yourself that you like that spot in the park because of the good view, not because of anyone connected to it. There's no point losing more than you have to from a breakup, so don't get all sappy on yourself

>>Continue living your life... I know it's so hard but that's what I'm doing now.


Reconnect with Your Friends

No matter how much you say you're not going to be that girl who gives up her friends for her boyfriend; everyone gives up a little of their time to spend with their guy. Well, now is the time to make it up to them (and, you could use the girl talk). So, go out and have fun; grab your best wing woman, and remember how much fun being single really is.


>>When my friends learned about it, they all came to my rescue. Took me under their wings and let me cry my eyes out until I couldn't cry anymore. Made time from their busy schedule just to meet up with me and be with me when I felt sad or lonely. But I knew that there will come a time that I have to be alone and face the pain.


Take Some Time For Yourself

Amidst all of this trying not to talk to him, hanging out with friends, partying more and/or eating lots and lots of ice cream-you need to remember to sit back and actually work through your feelings. Understand why things went south, and why you're better off this way. And in no time you'll be back to your old self, and what's-his-name will be a thing of the past.


>>As what I've previously said, continue living your life. I still go to places where we used to frequently go because I enjoy going or hanging out there. It is my me time. My time to relax and unwind.


It's All About Rewards

And finally, do all of the little things that make you happy every day. Yep, being single means thinking about you, you, you. So, go and take that extra time after work and buy yourself that little ring you've been obsessing over. Or take a long walk and meet a friend for cupcakes because well, you can. Have fun spoiling yourself, because you deserve it after....wait, what? I'm forgetting already.


>>Thinking about my past relationships, I never really had anything longer than a month in between them. I guess I was eager enough to forget the ex that I jump into one relationship to another. Which I think now, was wrong. It didn't really gave me enough time to reflect why or what happened and didn't gave me enough time for myself. Right now, I just want to enjoy everything as a single girl. And now that I got a new job, I want to make plans for MY future and honestly speaking I already have a one-year plan and I'm all excited about it. All about myself.
