Walking Away Or Trying Harder

We are in charge of our own suffering.

Walking Away Or Trying Harder
GoodReads

The hardest decision is deciding whether to "walk away" or "try harder". We all have been through so much. We keep on trying to try harder, but after awhile we have no more fight left in us. Maybe it is best to walk away sometimes.

This is the only choice we make in every moment of life. We either try harder or we walk away from being present, loving ourselves, loving another, pursuing our passions or completing a task. We choose to continue doing, thinking, saying, listening, eating, and being what we are, or we break up with it.

Depending upon the situation and the circumstances, it is okay to walk away. You need to know that. For example.. if you have fought for someone and they keep playing with your feelings or not even making a effort, get up on out of our feels and walk away. I know it is easier said then done, but you're wearing yourself out take a break!!!

When someone says you can't, that's one of the times you try harder. Show them that you can! Believe in yourself and push yourself to do it. Go above and beyond what they say you can't do. Prove them wrong.

The choice to stay or leave determines whether we free ourselves or we suffer. How do we make the "right" decision? It's simple, but it is not easy: Do not make more struggle for yourself. We are released from bondage when we know that regardless if we stay or go, we have the choice to stay or go. We are in charge of our own suffering. We can walk away from it when we wish.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
