Don’t stop believing…

Don’t stop believing, Journey sang

And how true are these words

Cause we are the believers, the truth seekers

The never giving uppers

Holding onto a feeling, a belief

Even if it’s just a glimmer of hope

We continue to hope and believe 

Hope that the tide will turn 

And things will  go our way

A belief that things will get better, eventually 

Cause we can’t loose hope

We can’t loose faith

Cause if we do, it will be the end of us

So we continue hope and have faith

And continue to believe 

That no matter how things may seem

No matter how things may be

Even if we are tossed on life’s tempest

Hope will always get us through

Hope will always get us there 

No matter how bad life may seem

No matter how dire our situation may be

We will find a way to survive

To rise up and shine

Like a phoenix, from the ashes of despair

We will soar high 

Cause we have hope in our soul 

And faith, the wind beneath our wings 

And a belief that we’ll make it through

So as long as be keep believing 

Holding onto a feeling of hope, of faith 

We will survive and thrive 

So as Journey sang 

Don’t stop believing 

Hold on to the feeling!!!

Don’t Dream it’s Over

Even if the world may seem to you like a cold and lonely place and everyone seems to be on your case, but remember that the world is a better place with you in it.

You may feel that people conspire against you, luck seems to look down upon you, nothing going your way, just have faith and hold a little longer, cause you never know when your luck may change and the chips may begin to fall in place, cause the fortune favours the brave, the brave who believed, the brave who held on when others let go, when others stopped believing.

All is never lost, nor are you a lost case, a lost cause, cause all you need to do is know where to look and you’ll find a way out of the mire that has been sucking you in, and you will find your way back home. There’s always hope for the most hopeless of cases, there’s always redemption for the repentant soul.

Even if your heart is filled with darkness, let the light through, even if it is just through a crack or crevice. Let it seep in, little by little flooding your heart with light, banishing the darkness that clouded your mind, freeing you from its clutches. 

Do not internalise the pain that you feel. Let it all out, give it vent. Cause when you hold it all in the only one that it will torture is you, curdling and festering till you can hold it no longer. All you need to is just reach out and there will always be a hand to grab you, a hand to save you from the pain you inflict on yourself. There is always someone out there to help you, to save you, to embrace you, to make you feel the love you deserve, the love you need.

Remember when you hit rock bottom, the only way is up. There can be nothing beyond rock bottom; the harder you fall the higher you shall rise, the higher you shall bounce back. Just keep believing, just have faith, cause even if it is as small and tiny as a mustard seed, it will grow to bear fruits.

The world isn’t against you, it only believes in challenging, to shake you from your stupor, from your slumber, to discover how capable you truly are, capable enough to rise to the occasion. It has no intention of breaking you, bringing you to your knees. It’s only intention is to hold a mirror to show you who you truly are, not what you perceive yourself to be.

Your life is a precious gift, a gift not just for you. Giving up on what has been gifted is a selfish act, you end up thinking more of yourself and less of the ones who will be affected by it. Don’t give up on life cause you never know when it will surprise you. Even in the most darkest of night, even in the most difficult of situation, you will find that shining light within you that will guide you home.

So don’t ever give up on life, don’t ever dream it’s over, cause there’s so much to live for, there’s so much that we can give. So hold on a little longer and you’ll feel you’re getting stronger, even though the world may seem like a dark and lonely place, everything seems bleak, there’s always hope for you, your hope and faith will guide you home, find a way back home. Don’t dream it’s over.
