MissUnderstood?

Sometimes people say no one understands them. That's because they don't really want to be understood. They want to be the victim. They want to be the one who no one understands. They thrive on it. Why? Because for them, it is what makes them different from everyone else.


“Maybe they like the pain. Maybe they're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe they just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.” - Meredith Grey.

The Power of The Holy Mass.

I'm feeling Elated. Went for Mass yesterday, felt Peaceful, the climate is better, I feel like my old happy self again. Realized that my Happiness is not a result of anyone being in my life or out of my life. My happiness lies in God's presence in and around me. True happiness comes wen u accept ur mistakes and then move on, realizing that no matter how painful the situation is, ur still Happy cuz that's Who You Are.  :) Peace and Happiness go hand in hand. Love drives you toward them. Love for God, love for those around you and love for yourself. For God lives in all these people. This kind of love is calm, silent and felt within ur soul. It makes ur spirit want to jump for Joy. But at the same time your body is still. Just taking it all in and giving it out to everyone you see and meet. Love is not boastful. It is enduring and it conquers all.

I end with these few words.  A priest once said, "The difference between happiness and pleasure is, happiness is felt in d midst of all the pain and chaos. Pleasure cannot co-exist with pain."

Drug HABITat?

As you know, many people today especially the youth are experimenting with drugs. What can you do to help these people? It's simple.

*Firstly, remember that whatever you do, make sure ur goal is to NOT stop a person's drug habit. If you make that your goal, you will be limiting yourself by focusing on ways to STOP his behaviour rather than working with him to help him realize on his own that he can get out of it and there is always a choice.
*Be a comforting friend/confidante to them
*Understand what they are going through
*DONT be harsh by saying things that will put them down. They are addicts. They are human.
*Be there as much as you can emotionally, invest time and patience.
*It may seem like it's not helping and the world isn't going to change but the world for that person will change drastically. Slowly but surely.
*Lastly, don't give up. U need to be strong till the very end. There's no guarantee that their drug habit will stop permanently. They could relapse. The best way to help them stop is the rehab. But then again, they hav to be willing to go.

Look at it this way. Maybe if you hadn't been there, they would have lost their life long before they truly lived. U being there for them, would have not only extended their life expectancy but also would have given them one more chance at life or one last breath of happiness before death. Peace.
