Beauty

Beauty can be found in everyone, In everything and everywhere. If you can't find it, You simply weren't looking hard enough. -

Be a good person

At every given moment the opportunity arises, the opportunity to be a good person; every situation provides you with a choice, the choice whether to champion one another and support others when required, the choice whether to better yourself by bettering others. You may view your impact as minor, something so simple and quick. Yet this contribution works like a puzzle piece, it’s a contribution to the bigger picture. Imagine if this one simple action was global and popularly out taken by a percentage of the human race. Then adjust your perspective, your impact becomes augment. Pick an everyday action that’s out taken by a large amount of people, such as taking public transport. Imagine if just 10% of those riding it struck conversation with someone sat next to them, then suddenly it doubles in size, 20%. A simple yet friendly conversation allows the opportunity to be a good person; a person who cares about other people, who wants to listen and to effectively impact their day, be t

Perspective

Perspective “The point of view in which you see a situation from” “A particular attitude towards or way of regarding something” “A point of view” “The way you interpret a situation” The definition in itself suggests that we look at things differently, although allowing for the potential of similarities. We all look at things differently; we all have different ways of perceiving things, different personalities and values that suggest diversity. Everything in this world has meaning if it’s approached by diverse perspective. A perspective can be changed, developed or influenced. Understanding that no matter what, life continues to progress and move forward. We don’t go back in time, it’s a continuous journey. Forward, it’s a progression, a progression that is always going to be positive.   Positivity is a choice, whether that’s in mood, relationships or conflicts. Positivity can be reached if the perspective is altered to achieve the desired outcome. Life is a

There’s a story behind every smile.

There’s a story behind every smile. An expression that is used to indicate ‘pleasure or amusement’, something that can be expressed in many ways by an individual and perceived and understood in many different ways by another. It is a simple gesture that has so many different meanings, a simple gesture that is so diverse and beautiful. There is a reason that every smile has been expressed, whether it’s in conversation with the presence of people or expressed intrinsically. The value is unique to the individual, whether it is laughing at a joke or smiling at a loved ones actions. Every smile is unique, both to the individual and to the world. A smile indicates an emotion, something that can only be completely felt by the beholder. It can be acknowledged similarly to the original emotion by an external empathetic source, yet fully understood by the beholder. Life is full of motorways where everybody is going in the same direction or a roundabout where people group off into di

‘Love, not Hate’

The promotion of ‘Love, not Hate’ is sending a vital message to the world, showing that the only way to succeed is by spreading love, accepting people for who they are and who they want to be. In a world corrupted with hatred and evil allows for the opportunity to be better, to do better and to want to be the best we can be, for ourselves and for others. Understanding that the future is within each other and helping each other through the good times and the bad times. This may be a controversial statement, yet to live the life we want we must allow others do the same. Encouraging a future inclusive of everyone, accepting diversity and focusing on the importance of a democracy, a system that allows input and a contrast of ideas, yet a collection of EVERYONES ideas to create a representative society, to allow all people to have their opinion valued. Life shouldn’t be a process of being afraid of one and other, or judging someone else for who they are, focus on what’s i

Individuality and acceptance

We live in a world of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination. A world where others believe it is in their power to belittle others. To make people belittle their value and decrease their self-belief and confidence. A world where others believe it is in their power to decide others decisions. People are only engaged if the topic someone is talking about is of interest to them, we are too quick to dismiss others because we don’t believe the conversation or situation has value to our lives. Understanding that there is a reason behind everything people say and do, a reason which may be influenced by someone’s passion and enthusiasm about a topic, or even a mask to someone’s identity. A mask of individuality to reflect societies norms, to ensure there is no criticism. Criticism that is taught and influenced by the need to ‘fit’ in. Everything must be labelled now a days. For example: if you like comic books you’re automatically a ‘nerd’, if you’re a girl and you like sport you
