Live life through the happiness of others

"Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong"

-Leo F Buscaglia

For some it is easy to envy and be jealous of others.....for they do not hold the treasures they desire. These people usually live life by destroying the happiness of others. They are the ones who grow quickly by causing others suffering but they will always be the weakest and loneliest in the end. 

For the people who grow through kindness and love grow strongest and tallest of all, and when the weak ones have wilted....the others will still be growing stronger and happier. 

The Strong people will always be better off in the end....even if it takes some courage to get through some storms.

"When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure"

-Peter Marshall

Our Interpretations

It's never what people do that make us angry;
it's what we tell ourselves about what they did

- Marshall Rosenberg

Our interpretation of other peoples actions and words is the only thing we listen to. If we interpret every situation positively then we will never be bothered by others.

Be the change in someone's life...

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” 

-Leo Buscaglia

It is incredible how much impact we have on other people around us.

When we are happy, they become happy. When we are sad, they become sad. When we show them love and kindness, in return they show us loving and kindness. Just by saying 'thank you' or making one brief phone call....we have the ability to alter someone else's life, we have the ability to express who we really are. Never take anything or anyone for granted. 

You really don't know what you've got until it's gone...

Sea Cliff Bridge, Wollongong (aka "Love Lock Bridge")

Sea Cliff Bridge 'Love Lock Bridge' is 23kms north of Wollongong (60km south of central Sydney) and it runs parallel to the coast. The bridge was opened on the 11th of December in 2005 and it's total cost was A$52 Million.
Since the bridge was first opened it has become a little heavier. This is because couples visit the bridge to express their love for one another by attaching an engraved padlock onto the railings as a public testimony to their bond. This is how the bridge in Wollongong received the famous name 'Love Lock Bridge'.
Some couples throw the keys into the ocean and others hold onto them for keep sakes.
I recommend everyone to walk this bridge as it is an amazing experience to read all the messages loved ones have left there. And if you have a declaration of love to make to another then you should definitely put your lock on the bridge :)

The Power of Nature

-Georgia O'Keeffe

Invent your future

" The best way to predict the future is to invent it."

-Alan Kay

In every persons life there is a past, present and future.... although the only moment that truly matters is the 'present'. The past is gone, the future is yet to come and the present is happening right now. From nothing, right now....we are the possibility of being everything. In this moment we can invent anything to be our future.
