Hard times reveal true friends. You know when you have a real friend by their actions.

You always find out who your real friends are in life when you face difficult situations. True friends never turn their backs on you. They never stab you in the back, talk bad about you or anything like that.  They will always be there for you through thick and thin. Even when you mess up they will have your back. Real friends confront you when there is a problem, not talk bad behind your back. A true friend will always be there for you and have your back even when no one does. They will correct you when correction is needed and always speak their mind or feelings. Anyone who can speak bad about you and behind you is not a friend.

Be careful what you say

 

I have had many experiences where my words have been misunderstood by others. Weather it be through a text, an email, a voicemail or any other written form, the things you say to some people can easily be misunderstood or misread.  The best way to resolve a situation is confrontation. If  someone said, you offended them, you confront it, don't do it over a text. If you heard one of your friends were bad mouthing you, confront it, don't send an email or text. Different people understand you differently. There will always be something you said that will offend someone in one way or the other, so always be careful what you say or how you put it. If you do offend someone accidentally apologize and do explain to them what you meant. Everyone is different be careful what you say.

Distance Between Two Hearts

A marriage is hard. It is hard when you are always away from your spouse because of work relations. Not just a spouse but if you are two couples in a relationship it can be equally as hard. Sometimes your spouse may not be working out of town but may be living out of town. It is very difficult being apart from each other. You feel lonely alot of the times. Yoou miss kissing each other, cuddling with each other, love making and just having that company around. 'But what makes a couple or marriage strong is the ability to hold onto that love you guys have. To have that trust and faith that there is nothing that can come in between the love you guys have.
Distance does not make us forget or want to move on. It makes what we have strong. Makes our relationship stronger and gives us that excitement to see our other half again. Makes you fall in love with each passing day. It reminds us of how strong true love can be. Whe you are in love and love your spouse or partner there is nothing not even distance that can get in the way of that or take that love away. Distance only makes the relationship stronger and reminds us of how much we love and care for each other.

Every test in our life makes us bitter or better

Sometimes we don't seem to understand that we go through trials and tribulations to see how strong we are. Some of these trials can either make us or break us. Alot of the times our trials seems to break us instead of make us.
The whole reason why we undergo the trials we do in life is to test us and see how fast we are to give in. Like this quote says every test in our life can make us bitter or better. One things that I have learned is that through all the trials I go through I want to come out of it better than how I handled it. When we undergo certain difficulties in our life, sometimes we feel hopeless and stressed. We may cry, isolate ourselves from everyone and anything but the important thing to remember is that every obsticle or trial we go through it is a test and we can't let it break us but instead we tackle it head on with a smile. That may not always be possible but we can always try.
Our problems can define who we are or define how strong we are. I have gone through so much in life that I can't even name all the things I have gone through. There were days I gave up, cried my eyes out, did not want to see or be around anyone. I just built a bubble around myself and wanted to be left alone. I was letting my problems break me instead of building myself. I was the victim. I chose to be the victim. I felt sorry for myself.
It was not until after I took a long look at myself and my life and decided that I was no longer going to be the victim but instead the victor. It feels so great to be the victor. To say I did not let my problems define who I am.
The choice is ours. We choose what we will be and how we will rise from it. I tackle all my problems with a smile on my face. I live life and smile always. I no longer let my problems break me but instead build me. I am a VICTOR.
Don't let your problems break you but instead build you. Be the VICTOR not the victim. If you let all your problems break you down, then you will be miserable and unhappy for the rest of your life.
Remember our trials are to make us stronger and to be better but not to bring us down. It is hard sometimes and does hurt but lets defeat our problems.

Recognize, Appreciate and be happy

Sometimes in life we always seem to complain about how little we have or how little we own and not realize in all reality how much we actually have.
Having a roof over our heads, a car to drive, power, a blanket, clothing, food and so much more are just wonderful blessings that we are able to own.
During the times that we seek to complain or depress ourselves over the things we don't have, it should be an opportunity to be thankful for what we do have.
Like this quotes said happiness does not come as a result of getting something we don't have but recognizing and appreciating what we do have.
Alot of the times I forget that. From my very own experience I have come to realize that the more I have the more I seem to want. There is just never enough. I do believe that as human beings we will always want more and even when we have more we will still want more because it will never be enough. As we complain and seek for more it makes us miserable and sad because we are putting so much pressure on ourselves to be able to earn more and that leads to frustration.
Don't stress  on what you don't have but instead be grateful for what you do have because what you have may be another mans dream to have.
RECOGNIZE, APPRECIATE and be HAPPY.
Don't be selfish and miserable seeking for plenty but make do with what you have and that will make you happy.
