Each day something or someone can influence, shape and define who you are either positively or negatively. Be sure of who you are so that you will never ever let circumstances pull you down or change who you really are! You are worth far more than that my friends,

What a world we live in!
Hi everyone
Today has been such a beautiful day here in Christchurch, a
wonderful sunny, clear day.
Sitting by
the river, after jet boating, I looking around at the people nearby, some were
chatting, others laughing but all enjoying themselves. The warm sun shining down on the sparkling
water, the cool breeze ruffling the branches of the trees my mind wandered…
I wondered who among those people nearby had suffered in
some way or another…
I reflected upon my own experiences last year (2014) and how
far I had overcome…
how far I had grown and, how much stronger I am now.
Adult Bullying – that
was my cross to bear!
How soul destroying it can be, but with support from those
who love you, you can rise above it - the thing is to realize that bullying is
done by small minded people who see in others something that they are not.
I have written about bullying in one of my short stories ('An
Anthology of Three Women 2' – on Amazon).
Sadly this is a worldwide, huge,
problem not only within young children, teenagers but also adults.
Bullying
comes in all sorts of 'shapes and sizes'
and affects boys and girls, men and women. I have spoken to numerous people who
have experienced bullying and am amazed at how prevalent it is within adults,
not only the workplace but within the home, especially in relation to elderly
parents, and society as a whole.
Why destroy yourself and who you are, why become something
you are not just to accommodate or please these people:
Do not let hurt or pain define you.
Do not let it shape the moments in your life.
Do not let someone else’s bitterness and jealous control your very
being
and never ever let it become who you think you are!'
If you yourself become bitter and twisted because of such
experiences, the perpetrators of such terrible acts have won!
Do not take on board their jealousy, hatred
and the maelstrom of cruelty that must be inside of them.
Instead, hold your
head up high, walk in grace, dignity and beauty,
just be the person whom God
intended you to be and:
'For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips,
speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you
are never alone!'
Mahatma Ghandi
once said, "An eye for an eye leaves
the whole world blind."
Oh yes… looking
around I saw such beauty today, such love and delight!
What a world we live in!
Oh yes… there is so
much beauty within our world yet so much ugliness too,
that, to live happily we
MUST only focus on this beauty and
the good that is within so many people.
I vow to do that
every day even though, some days it can be hard!
Go forth my friends and be in charge of your life, choose not to be a
victim of circumstance and blame anything and others for how you feel,
but instead,
STAND TALL and choose to be the wonderful person that you really are
and,
BE the BEST that you can be.'
