It’s a New Day

We all have bad days, terrible ones. Or even to say the least we have bad weeks or even a month goes by with us feeling grouchy and un hopeful for the future. But today, if you’ve been down in the dumps for a day or even weeks, take the time to look out the window. You could either be looking at stuff that makes you even more angry but take this time to appreciate the many different things in your life. The small things that may be unfair sometimes but are what make you, you!

So take a deep breath, and focus all your energy on the positives. It’s hard to do especially when you’ve been through a lot, but it’s not impossible. Just the fact of trying to accept the past and moving on is good enough.

Yesterday, I got back one of my test marks and sure I knew that I didn’t do so great because I wasn’t able to finish but the fact that I was holding a paper with a big bold red percentage really ripped at my self confidence. It was the worst mark at that point in my life and my great math mark really took the blow. You know I thought that I’m not going to get in university and etc. But so what, not getting into university isn’t the worst thing that can happen to me. Many worst things will happen to me before I move onto this big world, and heck many of you probably have experiences trials more difficult then mine. I cried and let it out. Then I decided to not really think about it anymore because really I was choked that I studied really hard for it but didn’t do good. And sometimes this happens, but all in all I still had a mock final that could replace it, so I’ll need to work hard for that!

Now, today, as the morning grows brighter and brighter, and a new days starts. I breathe in and out, out with the old, in with the new. Todays going to be better, I’m going to try to be better, and Im alive, I’m breathing and that should make me enough to be happy because our life on this earth is short, we might as well make the best of what we can during the time that we’re here.

Dear Cecilia, so glad to watch you going through these. I fully understand how hard it is, and also know how strong my daughter Cecilia is…..so proud of you and fully believe in you, since you are you, not anyone else…..so blessed having you in my life ….teaching me how to be a better Mom and mentor…maybe I’m not a super one:) but I would like to improve myself like you improve you self. below I will share Obama’s letter who wrote to his daughters. Both of us can learn a lot from it, God bless!
“Life is short. It may feel like it takes forever sometimes, but the reality is that you live, and a short time later,you die. It happens so quickly, many people don’t even realize they had a lifeuntil it’s already over.
1.Stop Doubting Yourself
If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody will. Success starts in your mind, and if all you’re doing is putting yourself down and predicting failure, it’ll become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead of doubting yourself, think positively. Not only will you be happier and more successful, you’ll spread it to everyone around you.
2.Stop Being Negative
Now that you’re done doubting yourself,stop doubting others. You don’t like when people are critical of you, so stop being critical of others. Think about how you make other people feel – even if you have good intentions, people don’t like hearing negativity.
3.Stop Procrastinating
I don’t feel like procrastinating right now– I’ll do it tomorrow. When you procrastinate, you remain stagnant. Whatever you’re putting off doesn’t go away; resolve the problem, and move on. You’ll be much happier in the long run.
4.Stop Being Mean
It’s completely possible to step on someone’s toes without meaning to – it happens all the time. There’s no need to pile on by purposefully doing mean things, so make a conscious effort to stop being mean. If someone wrongs you, let it go. There’s no need to seek vengeanceunless that’s the type of person you want to be.
5.Stop Eating Out
Eating out is the biggest waste of money.Every so often it’s nice to treat yourself, but eating out for every meal is the quickest way to drain your bank account. Learn how to cook at least a handful of foods you enjoy: It’ll save you money, keep you healthier, and occasionally impress people.
6.Stop Being Lazy
Lazy people are annoying – it’s like pulling teeth getting them to do anything. If I can’t do something as simple as going to a movie with you without having to factor in an hour of convincing you to get your lazy butt out of bed, I’d rather go alone. People have enough
trouble motivating themselves; don’t make your friends and family waste their
valuable energy motivating you as well.
7.Stop Complaining
We all have problems, and sometimes we need to vent to someone. That’s acceptable, but pay attention to how often you’ reventing. We all love helping our friends and family, but when all you get from someone is negativity, it’s easier to cut them off than help, especially if they’re always complaining about the same things.
8.Stop Being Selfish
If you only think about yourself, you’ll soon find yourself by yourself. Stop for a minute and think about how your actions affect other people – did you take the last cup of coffee from the break room? Refill it! Do you live with others? Don’t drink out the milk carton. We share this world 100% of the time, so every action you take can affect other people.
9.Stop Wasting Time
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:time is the most valuable resource we have. Don’t waste your time on unproductive things. If you want to explore the world’s dark corners, that’s great. I still associate with people who have not-so-kosher careers, but I don’t hang out with those people at the expense of my own short- and long-term goals.
10.Stop Making Promises
Always under-promise and over-deliver. When you make a promise, you’re adding responsibility to your plate that, despite all your best intentions, you may not be able to deliver on. More often than not, your promise is an absolute (i.e “I promise I’ll always love you”)， and onlySith deal in absolutes. Instead of making a promise with your words, simply be there when people need you, and exceed their expectations with your actions.
11.Stop Being a Pushover
We live in a capitalistic society in which everyone’s trying to sell us something. Everyone’s looking out for themselves in one way or another, and you need to do the same. Stop putting yourself out because you’re too shy to say no.
12.Stop Listening to Haters
No matter what you want to do in life,there’s always someone around to tell you why it can’t and won’t work. I can come up with millions of reasons Twitter won’t work, and yet it’s one of the most popular social media sites on the web. My opinion didn’t stop Twitter’s success any more than it convinced Kobe Bryant to quit the NBA or Josh Hartnettto stop acting. Why would you let someone’s opinion stop you?
13.Stop Being Wasteful
You don’t finish your meals,and away food instead. You leave the faucet running when you brush your teeth,pouring precious water down the drain. You drive places you could easily walk,burning gasoline (a non-renewable resource)。 You are wasteful,and it needs to stop.
14.Stop Littering
The only thing I hate more than wasteful people are litterbugs. Litterbugs are my least favorite bug, and there are more than you’d think. If you’ve ever thrown even one piece of gum, paper, candy wrapper, cigarette butt, etc on the ground, you’re a disgusting litterbug, and you should be ashamed of yourself. There are over 7 billion people in the world– if each person only throws one “innocent” piece of garbage on the ground, that’s 7 billion pieces of garbage littering a world in which nobody “did it”。
15.Stop Taking Everything Personally
People get offended about the strange stthings. Take Kendrick Lamar’s now-infamous verse on “Control” this summer: he called out a list of a dozen rappers he thinks he’s better than (and he’s right)。 The internet went crazy, and rappers all over the industry rushed to their mics to record a response. The thing is, all K-Dot said is he’s the best rapper. Everyone took it personally, and that’s exactly what he was going for. The lesson to learn from this is that not everything is about you, and if you’re easily upset, someone will use that to their advantage.
16.Stop Talking
Sometimes it’s best to just STFU –especially in relationships. I can’t even count how many times I created an issue that didn’t need to be an issue simply because I opened my mouth. Even if what you want to say is important, just shut up and ride it out. You can say more with your actions than words, and you can’t listen when you’re talking.
17.Just Stop, and Breathe…
No matter what you’re doing in life or how your day is going, there’s always room to just stop for a moment and just breathe. Try it right now to celebrate getting through this list of everything you’re doing wrong.
Loved Mom
