H.o.n.e.s.t.y

"Being vulnerable doesn't have to be threatening. Just have the courage to be sincere, open and honest. This opens the door to deeper communication all around. It creates self-empowerment and the kind of connections with others we all want in life. Speaking from the heart frees us from the secrets that burden us. These secrets are what make us sick or fearful. Speaking truth helps you get clarity on your real heart directives".

Honest. Is it too hard for us to be truthful? Are you prefer to smile because of lies or to cry because of truth? I know there is a time where we have to lie i.e escaping the lecture like I did before. But when in dealing the heart, would you like to lie? And before you are about to lie somebody especially those who are close to your heart, what will you feel if the person lie to you? Think it. Put yourself in theirs shoes. Too much dramas are sucks!


Honesty by Billy Joel


If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

CHORUS

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe

CHORUS

I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
Until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know

When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me, where else can I turn?
'Cause you're the one that I depend upon

Postive vs Negative???

Here I am. Staring at my laptop and thinking what I'm going to share. There's a lot things going on my mind but I don't know how to express them in words. Sigh. Lets start with how we think about ourselves or others. Sometimes we being negative or prejudice. Maybe because we've been through rough times. A time where we've been hurt or betrayed. A time where we loss someone that we care so much. Or anything that can lead us into negative thinking and make ourselves down or paranoid. We don't like how we look like. Feel ain't pretty enough. Can't get what we want. It's normal when we have such feelings but we cannot let these kind of feelings destroy our positive energy. Recently, I read an article in Cleo. "Think less and love your life more". It's about how we can make ourselves feel happy eventhough what we want is not happened according to the plan. Sort of like that I guess. Hehe. It says that "Being happy in your life is not about what happens to you but how you respond to those events. When you feel optimistic and energised, your positive vibe works like a magnet attracting good people, useful resources, opportunities and optimum circumstances to you". This article also gives some solutions in order for us to feel happy with ourselves. "Stop thinking too much. Not only thinking negative thoughts, but just living so much within our thoughts. Live in the present. About the past or fearing the future, remind ourselves that we can't change either; so geting hung up about these things is a waste of time". Hm, I think this article hepls me to change my view about what did happened to me and how I feel about my ownself. I admit that sometimes I tend to be so negative and it hurts me so much. And I can also be paranoid. Gosh! But when I recall them back, things happened for reasons and I'm learning from my experiences. Life is like a marry-go-round. There's a time you're on the top, there's a time you'll be at the bottom. I just bear in mind that "What I do not want done to myself, do not do to others." Because I believe in Karma. Now, I'm trying to be positive as I can. Fingers crossed! When I feel down about myself, sigh why I can't be like others etc..I will try to remember this. "Cassie dearie, each and everyone has their own uniqueness, advantages and disadvantages. Beauty attracts attention, but personality captures the heart. You can't please everybody. Just be yourself. Be honest,sincere and loyal. Respect others. Be grateful with what you have". In sum, nobody is perfect (^^,)
