Using your brain make you stronger than using your heart. Sirwan Kurdish
I see what you’re getting at but I must respectfully disagree. It is always the heart that must lead in every area of life at every moment the human brain is the ego, the heart is the soul in the soul is who we really are and why we’re here. Always follow and listen to your heart first.
There no greater feeling when you look into the people eyes that wish you harm,you hold out your hand and pull them up.
People will shake you and they will break, but how strong you stand will make you

I NEED ENCOURAGEMENT WORDS
It’s been 3 years since you asked for encouragement Hilma. You may not see this but I send it to you anyway believing your heart & spirit will feel it. Life is hard, there’s no getting around it. I myself came here for words of encouragement so I understand what it means to need encouragement. I hope with all my heart that things have turned around for you since you wrote this request. They say there will always be problems and very hard times but it’s about how we manage and choose to react to them. This is truth but also easier said than done. I can offer little but love to you and to tell you I care. I don’t need to know you to love and care for you. I am a person full of love & gentleness and I hope you can feel my sincerity. I wish I could wrap my arms around you and let you cry into me as long as you need to. There is much pain and loss but we aren’t here for very long really. Make an effort to surround yourself with loving, encouraging people and keep the toxic ones away hard and fast. You are needed here or you wouldn’t be here. Love every precious animal, tree & blade of grass. They love and need you no matter who else lets you down. Ask whatever Higher Power you believe in to guide you and be near and walk with you in every moment of your life here.
The books of Wayne Dyer have helped me greatly since I was a young girl. Maybe they would encourage you, too. May God bless you in every moment of your life, Dear One.
You are truly good person, This encourage and teach me a good lesson
what doesn’t kill u makes u stronger
In life to become fearless is to do one thing that scares you everyday. You will soon run out of fears.. We come in this life in one day and die in one day.
Because of sadness
I’ve known happiness
because of loneliness
I’ve known friendship
Because Of loss
I am grateful
Because of rejection
I have self acceptance.
Because I walk alone I’ve found strength
Because I faced fear I have courage.
I’ve discovered I can be my own Friend. I can be brave. I can do anything. I have myself.
I love myself. I believe in myself. I support myself. I am worth it.
