“The environment is where we all meet; where all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.” We must start thinking of our surroundings as something we borrow and depend on to survive, as something that is slowly decreasing its’ sources because of our highly demanding needs, & as something only we humans are capable of destroying. Without this nature & it’s sources, there is no future, so when you think of nature I hope you also think of sustainable development.

“happiness isn’t a destination, it is a method of life” being happy doesn’t entirely mean waiting for a reason, a person, you’re next stop or a materialistic object to bring you such a positive feeling. it is a state of mind, you choose to feel what you feel. no matter the situation, there’s always a reason or something to be grateful for, whether it’s big or small, a memory or a goal: look around you, & just be happy with what it is you have.

cut out negativity & embrace the positivity surrounding you today I took a step towards a happier me, it might be minimal but most likely worth it. I’ve come to realize that certain social networks such as twitter always left me feeling unsure, disappointed, upset, & so on.. I decided to delete the negative vibes & energy I was getting from twitter, so I can go on without knowing the unnecessary comments of what so & so thinks of another so & so. Having going through many challenging relationships, it has made me grow into a person who’s knows what kind of person i want to be but also don’t want to be. Loyalty is very rare these days as it’s difficult for some to take a stand & tell another how they are acting is incorrect & to put them in their place, to also open up different views of a situation & think better of people. This being said, I took a step today but also a few months ago: Last summer I decided to rekindle my friendship with someone I had once lost, & to this day, that one phone call was the best decision I made. This girl has been there for me through it all. & I thank god for her loyalty & presence. Stay close to those who make you feel good about yourself, & cut out the people who try to bring you down. – Stay Posi

they always said “put yourself in someone else’s shoes” & I argued that they never fit. to respect others is so simple, yet we still seem challenged by it everyday. so whether you live by that saying or not, I say forget the shoes and walk bare feet. everyone has a different story and a different mind set. whatever it is, treat them how you would want to be treated. have common manners to know what’s right vs what’s wrong, when’s the right time to say something & when’s the time to sit back & bite your tongue. be courteous enough to make others feel at ease & you will only leave feeling better of yourself
