Wednesday Words #2!

(Source)

Hello!

I hope that you're week is going wonderfully! 

This weeks Wednesday Words quote is, "See the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see." 

I think that this is an important thing for people to do because, so often, we find ourselves 'hating' on others. I don't know if this is true for everyone, everywhere, but I find that so many of the females I know excessively hate on each other. Because rather than helping other girls and building each other up, we find ourselves feeling as though we need to constantly compete with other women for some unknown reason. But we need to stop that.

Not saying that it's only females. I have seen men doing this to other men, many times. I have even seen men doing this to women and vice versa. 

We need to stop finding all of the 'negative' things in others and pointing those out and constantly focusing on all of this bad stuff. Instead we need to start finding all of the amazing, uplifting and just good qualities in everyone and build each other up with those. 

People always say that the world is becoming such a negative and unhappy place. Things like this are the reason why. If everyone continues to constantly go around hating on each other and focusing on everything that is negative in the people around them, how on earth can people expect the world, or themselves for that matter to be positive in any light?

This is not at all, me claiming that I never see anything but positivities in anyone. I, just like so many others, am guilty of judging people by some small thing they once did that I didn't like. But being aware of the fact that I do this and understanding that it will never help me in any way, is a good step towards not doing it. 

Seeing the light in others and treating them as if thats all I see, is something I am always working toward. Imagine how much happier the world would be if everyone was constantly working toward that. 

That's all for now. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating it tomorrow! I'm going to my grandparents house and having a huge yummy feast!!!! (I'm so excited!) What about you? 

With Lots and Lots of Love,

Wednesday Words #1

Hello!!

I hope you have all had a good week so far! 

               This week, for the first Wednesday Words, the quote I chose is; "You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks." 

                I think that a lot of times, we, as human beings, tend to get stuck on the things that bring us down. For instance, when someone makes us mad, a lot of times we sit infuriated and ranting (whether it be out loud or in our heads) about all the things that were wrong in the situation we just encountered. And most of the times, we don't even do anything about it. 

             So rather than moving on, we are attached to this negative feeling for a little while until something better comes along. 

              Sure, sometimes you are just in a bad mood, but that mood could be distracting you from some cool things, even if its as simple as just having a good laugh with your friends. 

             All in all, try not to get stuck on the things that put negative thoughts in your head, just brush it off and find a reason to smile (trust me, there's lots of them).

With Lots and Lots of Love,

Wednesday Words!!

Hello!!

                 I am going to start off by explaining that the reason I have been absent from this blog for so long, is I have gotten extremely busy (excuses, excuses, I know!) with school and dance and I am also trying to find a job because, sadly I don't have one yet! 

                 I'm going to start a new weekly post called, "Wednesday Words". It's going to feature a quote, that I very much like, and my thoughts about it and things like, how I try to apply it to my everyday life! 

                Wednesday is the middle of the week and sometimes we just need a good pick-me-up! And I thought maybe some of these posts could be just that for you! Tomorrow will hold the first Wednesday Words post!

                  Also! I would like to inform you that I am (finally) starting to plan future posts rather than leave it up to my ideas on those days. Because frankly, that approach was not working for me! And I think you would all agree! I mean, I feel as though that approach probably doesn't work for very many people, aside from the extremely skilled.

Before I go, I want to say Happy Veteran's day to everyone! And I would love for everyone to say a prayer for all veterans and families of veterans as I will be doing tonight!

                That is all for todays post! I am looking forward to your thoughts on the first Wednesday Words! 

With Lots and Lots of love, 
Marissa! <3
