Love knows the same. So many great virtues in our lives share sides of a similar one. Courage is more than a brave face. It's also a brave heart.
Thinking of someone else beside you shows your consideration of other people needs and struggles.

It best to keep some doors shut. The separation between what was and what is seems huge. As time passes, we often learn it was really a gift that we couldn't go the way that was once so comfortable and predictable..
Everyone has the potential to become an encourager. You don't have to be a genius. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to have it all together. All you have to do is care about people and initiate.
There’s nothing accidental about you.
There’s a specific purpose and mission on earth that only you can fulfill. You were created for something awesome. You are here for a reason. Never doubt your specialness. Remember that you can't always control everything, even if you would really like to dominate every situation. Be patient if you can. Just try not to let any fears or uncertainties slow you down.
Sometimes, it takes a specific situation for us to know who our real friends are. We are aware of who are willing to stand with us and would do so demonstrably, if required. Then, there are certain people who you scratch your head and wonder, why they've forgotten or ignored their pledged commitment or loyalty to you. Certain people who play no role in your future are moving on, one way or another. Proverbial wheat is being separated from chaff. Decisions, when they need making tend not to hang around until we're ready to make them. A result or solution sometimes requires quick thinking. We know some decisions made in haste could have been better, but we
do get it right sometimes. Have we really nothing to fear but fear itself? We all have our own ideas of what we are fearful of. What scares one person is likely something that doesn't concern another. That casts an interesting angle on what is and isn't something to be feared and if you're nurturing a fear unnecessarily. Give thought to how much control it actually has over you. Then, expect to discover how insignificant your fear is. Computers, laptops, tablets and phones provide a facility to remove data we don't wish to retain. With a push of a button, we can delete saved data that played a helpful
part in what we were doing in the past, but is no longer relevant now. There's no harm per se in keeping such data but sometimes, we notice a difference in how our devices operate through removing it. In the same manner, we could clear aspects of our past by not revisiting it. Modern technology makes it easy to stay in touch across time zones, and yet most people use it as ways to break off connections. It means leaving someone behind. Hopefully your parting of ways is not forever. However, even if it is a permanent situation, there is no point clinging to the past, or the pain of saying goodbye. There is no perfect way to say goodbye to someone. It’s something we all have to do at some point, yet we are rarely prepared for the emotional reactions it triggers. Loss, sadness, nostalgia, and anger are just a few of the feelings that may arise, when we are confronted by the harsh reality a goodbye brings to light. When a breakup happens, it’s obvious someone is left behind. While the goodbye may be unavoidable and you are being left behind, there is no point in trying to control the situation and force someone to stay. Acknowledge Your Feelings Life is finite. Time passes. While wallowing is never healthy, it is important to process your experiences. Likewise, though it doesn’t always make it easier in the moment. If you accept that you are not alone in this experience, you will find you feel less lonely while you are living it. You needn’t behave as if; you are unaffected to impress anyone. In fact, doing so will only leave you with regrets. You will later find yourself wishing you had been authentic, whether because you think it could have changed things, or simply because you have learned the importance of your words and actions aligning with your honest experience. Stop keeping your feelings bottled up inside. You need to express your emotions. Instead of numbing out, let yourself feel whatever it is you are feeling. They make you deal with reality. The end of an era via a breakup, move, or even death is something we have to deal with. Stop going over what if, could, or should have been. You ask yourself; where do I go from here. You start having fear of moving on. We don't realize just how much we need the people who have always stood by us; until we have lost our footing and realize they are no longer with us. Instead do something to celebrate the time in your life that is passing. Perhaps, looking at old photos and cherishing the good memories. Don’t be afraid to remember what was meaningful, even if, it brings about more pain in the moment. But, if it is too painful to deal with these memories, just put it away and not look back. No one is deprived of pain and we have all suffered in our own ways. Never sell yourself short because of difficult challenges you have been through in your past. You would not be who you are TODAY, if it was not for what you went through. I believe our journey is all about healing ourselves and healing each other in our own special ways. You could be playing a key role in someone's life and recovery, as you inspire them with your story. Let's just help each other put all those pieces back together and make it to the end. Let us help each other survive. Together we are all on a journey called life. NOW it's time to offer your experience, strength and hope to those who need it most. Part of life is learning to let go. It makes no difference whether it means letting go of control, pride, expectations or another human being. Acceptance is the only way through things. The good news in that is acceptance opens you up to the next chapter. By letting go of what’s gone, you open the door to new people, places and experiences. The only certainty in this life is change and by embracing it, you go a long way toward making it positive. We think so often that we are helpless, but we're not. You have the power to heal yourself, and you need to know that. We always have the power over our minds. We think so often that we are helpless, but we're not. You have the power to heal yourself, and you need to know that. We always have the power over our minds. We think so often that we are helpless, but we're not.
