If you think you
are a failure, I want you to try again. You see, failing is just a proof that
we are not perfect human beings. The fact that computer systems commit errors
is an evidence that they were made by programmers who are not perfect. You are
not perfect. You may exert a lot of efforts to achieve something, you may give
it your all, you may think that there is nothing that you didn't do, there will
always be times that you will fail. But it doesn't mean that you are a failure.
It does not mean that you are not good enough, it just means that this is not
yet your time to succeed. So I want you to try again. If you think you have
done your best then try to level it up. If you think you have done everything
then think of another thing. If you think that you were born to fail then I
want you to think otherwise. You just have to try again because the next time
you do, it might be the time that you will finally succeed. I want you to try
again because the true failure is not trying and you are not one, so please,
try again.
If you think you
are ugly, I want you to look within you and think otherwise. You may think that
you are ugly when you have flat nose. You may think that you are ugly when you
have a lot of freckles and acne on your face. You may think that you are ugly
when you have dark complexion. You may think that you are ugly when you have
frizzy hair. But then real ugliness is within you. You are ugly when you do
nothing but hurt other people’s feelings. You are ugly when you always try to
pull someone down even when that person is not doing anything to you. You are
ugly when all that you ever wanna do is see other people suffer. If you are not
one of those, if all that you could ever wish for other people is happiness
just like what you wishes for yourself, then you are beautiful. The real beauty
is within you. It is when you are genuinely helping others. It is when all you
ever wanna do is to be the reason of somebody else’s happiness. It is when your
conscience is clean from everything that may ruin it. It is when you are just
being simply you. You are beautiful. Don’t you ever forget that.
If you think you
are broken, I want you to pick yourself up. You see, loving is such a hard
thing because it could make you or break you. In this case, it did the latter.
There is nothing wrong with what you did. It is completely natural to love
someone because the desire is so deep within your heart. It is completely okay
to fall for the wrong one because people don’t wear signs that they are the
right one. The thing that is not right is when you make yourself miserable
because of it. It is okay to cry and feel the pain for a few days but being
like the way you are for eternity is not just right. So I want you to pick
yourself up. I want you to pick up every little piece of you and draw some
strength to stand up again. I want you to see the world as something beautiful
and I want you to live the way you should. I want you to go out and see the sun
and I want you to run and move on from where you are right now. Do not drown
yourself with so much misery. There is more to life than loving that someone.
There is more to life than loving at all. You deserve something more than that.
You deserve to live and to be loved. So I want you to live first and you will
be loved by the right one later.
If you think you
are alone, I want you to look around you. There may be times that your mindset
is that there is no one else in this world but you. There may be times that all
that you could ever think about is the fact that no one is there to listen to
you. There may be times that you feel like you are just an island in a wide
ocean and no one is there to swim to you. I want you to think again. There are
8 billion people in this world. Some of them are members of your family. Some
of them are your friends or classmates. Some of them are those people you see
on some other social-networking sites. Others are just around you, maybe
feeling the same way you do. I want you to look around you and choose someone,
just one person that you could trust all your issues to. It could be your
mother or your best friend or just one of your followers. I want you to pour
out all your emotions to that someone and I want you to listen to whatever that
someone may say. I want you to know that you are never alone because somewhere,
someone is feeling just exactly the way you do. And even when all the people
around you failed to be with you, I just want to remind you that God is there
whenever you need Him.
If you think you
are afraid, I want you to pray. Some people say that fear is not real. It is
just something that you program in your mind that cause paranoia and it could
damage you completely. It is just a monster that eats up your mind alive. It is
just your view of how things are gonna happen based on your past experiences.
The future is inevitable but not moving because of fear is not just so right at
all. So I want you to pray. I want you to ask guidance from God. I want you to
tell Him all that you ever wanna say. I want you to ask for a peace of mind and
clarity because I know for sure that He will grant them to you. Fear is
something that could destroy you completely. Don’t let that happen. When fear
knocks, I want you to let faith answer the door and everything will be alright.
Everything will be so much better than you fear it would be.
If you think you
are sad, I want you to be happy. Sadness could be so addicting. It is like a
drug or coffee or chocolate cake. It may be bad for you but there will always
be those times that you think you can’t just have enough. You could be sad
about almost everything in your life. From all the things that you wish you
didn’t do, the things that you will never have again, the things that you
failed to do and just everything that didn’t turn your way. There will always
be those times when you feel like giving up. There will always be those times
that all you ever wanted to do is disappear. During those moments, I want you
to look back to everything that made you happy. I want you to reminisce all
those moments when you felt like you had all the blessings in this world. I
want you to consider the fact that you are alive and that somehow, you are
still making it through. I want you to be happy because you deserve to. I want
you to be happy because even when there are a lot of reasons for you to be sad,
there will always be more reasons for you to be genuinely happy. I want you to
look at those reasons instead and I want you to remove all those sadness away.
If you think you
are nothing, I want you to know that you are loved. Yes, you are. You may feel
unappreciated at times. You may feel like everyone just hates you because of
who you are and who you are not. You may feel like you are just a piece of mess
and that no one is willing to deal with you. I want you to keep in your mind
that you are loved. You are loved by God, by your parents, your family, your
friends and even those you never thought would love you. You are loved by a lot
of people and even when they don’t say those three little words all the time, I
want you to believe that they love you. You are special and even when there are
a lot of challenges that you might face in the future, I want you to believe in
yourself and all the people around you. You are loved and that is more than
enough to know just to keep on going.
