Consequences

There will always be consequences to your actions
Some good, some bad
Some decisions can have a massive impact on others 
Your actions have the potential to build relationships or destroy them 
But what you need to remember is that you created the situation 
You and you alone made the decision that led you to where you are now
You need to take responsibility for it not blame others when it doesn't work for you 
We can't control how others react only what we do 
So think before you decide to do something, think of the consequences not only for yourself but what it may do to others & the relationships you have with them 
Sometimes it's not just about you! 

Change

Change can be hard and frightening for some however there is never any gain without hard work resilience and endurance 
There is no shame in having things go wrong in your life, the only shame is in not doing all in your power to fix it

Sounds harsh I know but it's true. You have the power and ability within yourself

Is it time for you  to stop trying and start actively doing? 

Never be afraid to seek help & support if it's needed 

Above all

Believe in yourself <3

Always move forward

My thoughts are sometimes black, like a bottomless hole, I can see no solid ground. 



I sometimes feel lost floating in the shadows of my mind. I'd rather not taint the world around me by sharing these things











































BUT...



















At the start of each new day, I try 
to remind myself it's a chance for new beginnings for brighter thoughts to be born & created  with the rising of the sun  I am hopeful...forever hopeful that the darkness will fade away again...

Religion...eh it's not for everyone!

Ok so we all know & hear about the bad things in regard to some religions
I honestly probably see more of this than I do the good things or people posting about the good things to be honest
We live in a world where many people think religion has no place anymore

Many young people seem to feel if you follow a religion you must be narrow minded & blind...sometimes that can be the case, there's no denying it
But when you ask them why?
Some of the things they say are in fact living by the Old Testament which, let's face it is pretty brutal..it is & as it should be a thing of the past....history...long done away with for the most part

If they understood a true Christians purpose & faith they would probably relies the values, morals etc are more closely related to to their own than not

Yes there is still room for change in a lot of organized religions with some even taking this on board...more power to them
The new pope seems like a pretty rad dude
I like him

There has been some awful corruption & some terrible things done in organized religion over the years, in some religions it's still going on but that can be said for anything....police, schools, families just about anyone & anything is open to corruption
That's human nature, not the religion or organization itself, & most normal religious people are horrified at the history of some churches but I say again that is the person & the choices they make & to blindly follow in the footsteps of corruption makes a pretty tragic person

But like life in general some things should not be tolerated, worshiped, or followed...change is happening as these organizations learn to grow & "catch up" it just may be slow in some cases but hey at least they are willing for change

I ask you though if you are one of those that has a zero tolerance to all religions....what does that make you?
Are you not just like those religious fanatics that try to push the word of god onto everyone?

Hmmm something to consider, yes?

Don't tar all religions with the one brush...or all Christians as one mindless flock there is good & bad in everything.

Maybe educate yourself properly, talk to different people from different religions before making a biased judgment based on what others say or what you've read
& above all respect someone else's views even if they may be different to yours.
Religious & non religious alike...let's strive for equality

As long as they aren't trying to force you to join them, who are you to force your opinion onto them & tell them they are stupid?
Sure they can follow some pretty stupid views in my eyes...but that could be said of a lot of things

Not all religions are the same, not all religious people hold the same blind views
& some people take real comfort from what some religions have to offer them
Where do you think most organized charities spring from?

They can do a lot of good as well...remember that

I don't like it when religious people try to tell me my views are wrong or that their religion is the only right way
but I equally don't like it when narrow minded people who don't understand faith pick on, ridicule or put down someone for their religious beliefs
This was written because I've seen a bit of religion bashing lately, it might be worth stepping back & looking at yourself first
I'm not saying you should or shouldn't follow a religion all I'm saying is it's not all bad and maybe do your research before you go hating on it and it's followers...

Peace, Love  & Joy to all <3
