You Are What You Attract

I've been having some frustration and confusion lately towards girls who just present themselves like trash. The way they dress and the way they act says one thing to me: they have no respect for themselves. They are merely presenting themselves in that way just to gain attention from people, who will most likely end up not respecting them anyway because of the way they dress and act. I know that this is true with at least one person, because the only people they talk about are multitudes of guys... This is all a case of being Classy VS Trashy. It is so not necessary to dress in a certain way to gain attention or for people to like you. Just be yourself and the right people will come to you and stay by you. And while you're at it, dress so that others have to use their imagination a little, instead of letting it all hang out... please.

Respect yourself. Plain and simple.

Promote Peace

Just a quick thought I had last week in response to other people's response about the violence and problems in our country...

I'm so sick of everyone hating on the President for everything they think is wrong. He is not the only person who has power to make changes. There are so many people involved in the process, and guess what, you can be too. If you don't like something, don't send out negative hate messages. Promote what you want & love instead, positively & peacefully. If you want the violence to end, saying "I hate Obama" or other people and things only creates more anger & negative energy. What this world needs is love, so start promoting that instead of bashing what you hate.

My New Year's Resolution: Promote Peace, Love, & Happiness :)

Respect Yourself

Another great quote by Buddha:

"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

First and foremost, be kind to yourself, and that love will then spread outward to the world. Peace. :)

Taking The First Step

Peace takes much time and effort to reach, like any goal that we may set for ourselves. We must think about what we want to achieve, and what sort of bad habits we need to give up in the process. First, step back and take a look at yourself, your actions, and your thoughts. Look at the life that you have lived, up until now. Did any of your actions affect others in a negative way? How do you think they made others feel? How did you feel? Was the outcome really worth it? Think about these questions, and all the times that you may have prevented peace from existing. Think about what you could've done, or not done, to help lower the amount of hatred and negativity surrounding your daily life.


I believe we all need to do some self-analyzation and self-reform, because the problem in this world is not society as a whole, but rather each individual who has helped create it. Power and corruption. Greed and selfishness. This is what our world consists of: the love of things which can hurt others, only to benefit ourselves. We live in a sadistic society, and I find it to be downright disgusting. People inflict pain -mental and physical- on others to make themselves look better or stronger. But in the end, it is only making them weaker. They are only hiding behind what they don't have: respect for themselves. There is no peace in a sadistic world. No respect. No love. No progress. By hurting others, instead of trying to help them and improve our society, and ourselves, we are only stopping any progress from being made. We are bringing ourselves down, because we are not taking advantage of the opportunities available to move forward. We do have the ability to reach new goals, develop new ideas, and create a land where everyone can prosper. However, we will only remain at the same, poor level until we change how we treat each other.
~Respect others. Respect yourself. Save the world, because you can't just save yourself...

Peace & Reality

Peace is something that is very difficult to achieve. I have asked many people whether or not they think it is possible. 99.9% of the time, the answer is "No." Although Peace is something that I desperately want, and would do anything to try to reach it, I would have to agree with them. I believe that Peace, in its entirety, is not possible. However, I do believe that parts of it are possible. Less conflict, responsibility, respect for one another, love, kindness, freedom to express ourselves and the rights we have as human beings. If any one of these or any other can be achieved, we are one step closer to Peace and making the world a better place. Of course, the love of things like power and money will still exist, making it ever more difficult to reach a stable Peace. However, this journey does not begin with trying to change others. We must first look at ourselves, uncover our potential, recognize our faults and strengths, change our way of thinking, and develop into makers of change. We must find ourselves and create Peace on the inside before we can express it and share it with the rest of the world. Now, listen to what others view as "Peace."
