Don't undervalue the words of our older generations

When was the last time you had a good chat with an old/older person? 

A really in-depth discussion about life, theirs and yours? 

I get the feeling these days that young people just don't want to hear it and I get the feeling it's because they wouldn't want their behavior questioned or to feel judged?

(Judgement isn't always a negative thing and can help you reassess your lifestyle) 
I'm wondering if you feel like that, then perhaps you're not entirely comfortable with the choices you make after all? 

For all your free thinking ways these days you sure all seem scared of good old fashioned communication. 

To question or be questioned about something is often hard to face and it takes a level of maturity to cope with that rationally, to listen to the opinion of others calmly and to take on board what is being said and then think about it. 

I can tell you right now, old/older people do understand.  

They have been there, they have done that and most importantly, they have learnt!  

The situation and the times may change but the emotions we all feel are the same throughout each generation.  

So next time you are feeling low about something, love, life, friendships work etc maybe ask an older person, have you ever dealt with this?  

 There is often a lot to be learned by making your own mistakes but sometimes hurt, heartache or poor judgment can be prevent or lessened by listening to the opinion of others, others who have a bit more life experience. 
Is that really such a bad thing, to ask, to listen?  

You don't need to do what they say...just consider their words, advice is meant to be shared and thought on, the decision is always still yours, & no one is trying to take that away from you but maybe an attitude readjustment is in order?  A different way of seeing? 

Don't undervalue or discard the words of our older generations because without it we have no guidance.  

Too many of our older generation feel worthless so make them feel valuable because they are and the knowledge & wisdom they have gained through learning could very well be what you need to hear.

Maybe you'll even take something good from it away with you....

Suicide - Don't leave the world to soon

When a person chooses to take their own life, they take away so much more than that.


They don't think it will matter, they don't think they matter, so the decision may sometimes becomes less of a burden for them & an easier choice to make.
But for every person that thinks no one will care, there is someone. It may be someone close to you or it may be someone whose life you have touched at some point but there will be someone and in following through with your decision, you will affect their life irreversibly.
I know it's not a decision you've made lightly, I know you've thought about it a lot.
It's these thoughts that are a burden.
They can consume you. But it's not your only option.

The ones you leave behind will be left with that burden, the questions no one can ever answer.
They will be left with the consequences of dealing with someone else's actions.
You may think, sure they will be sad for a while but they'll get over it & forget about you soon enough.
I promise you, they won't. I won't lie to you, it will haunt them for the rest of their days.
They will learn to live with it, they will learn somehow to cope...but it will never, ever leave them.
Some days will be worse than others, some days will just be unbearable, but they will endure & they will try to live life as best they can because they know they must.
There is only one thing in this life that can't be changed & that is death.

 
Death comes to us all at some point but it's the living of life that makes a difference to the world to others, not our death.
Don't leave the world to soon, don't leave a trail of heartache behind you.
Leave your mark in a good way and don't leave your burdens behind for others to carry.
There is always someone there for you, always someone willing to help. Family, friends, strangers....someone!
You have to open up your heart, mind and eyes to living.
The responsibility is yours and yours alone.

 
Every day is an opportunity to make a new begging no matter what happened the day before.
You can change this irreversible decision before it becomes too late & you can find people to help you achieve the change you need to help you create new thought patterns but change always begins with you. I know, it's not easy.

I don't know you, you don't know me but I ask you to consider.....I want you to live.

Relationships

We should all aspire to this

This is lovely and gave me a smile. 😍
Real love is about compromise and team work 
Are you doing it right? 
There is no "I" or "me" only "Us" 
Together! 
I hope you have this or find it because there is nothing better.
