Social - Being Underestimated

Good evening fellow readers,
The subject for today is about
Being Underestimated .

It is a very important subject on which I felt the urge of writing about...
As some persons might have been or are experiencing this in their lives (at certain point).

Let NO ONE ever take your dignity away
Nor put in cause your value.

And even if you get/are stuck by any comment
I know and I am sure that none of those is made out of truth
But instead, made out of either envy , jealousy or from persons
That want no good for you. Hear nothing of that.


"No weapon formed against me shall prosper" 
(DMX - Lord, Give me a Sign)

-- I heard this lyrics of a song, yet it is a useful quote
In this situation. Do not allow anyone to bring you down.

Instead, keep focusing of your goals :
Surprise them, amaze them with your abilities...

I remember when I was bullied in highschool...
I wasn't as good as my classmates in Physical Education Classes.
I started to write as a coping method.

Then I learned my strongest subjects : Language (PT) and English.
While I was made fun about in one part,
I shall say that I surprised my classmates
When I was able to get good grades on the two subjects I was keen on.

If I made it through School, you can make it through as well.
It can be applied to other areas of life, for example any type of relationship.

Bottom line is :
Do not allow anyone to bring you down
In any circunstances...

And even if you feel down or weaker,
Please pick up your weapons and remain fighting.
Reveal the warrior in you

Because you are stronger than you can imagine.
You are a wonderful human being...

Anything that happens
Hold onto us.
Bring me your troubles and insecurities
and I shall do the best to help.

We shall never underestimate
Because we know your value! 
Take care.

Life´s Advice - Gratitude

A blessed weekend to everyone out there!
Being Grateful.
I chose this topic
As it is a subject very related to me

And , personally,
I believe we may go through this
At a certain in our lives,

We either learn or not to be grateful 
We either choose or not to practice 
Gratitude In OUR lives. 

Practicing gratitude in... 
Each and everytime you breathe a gasp of air... 

Each time you wake up in the morning, 

Each time you are alive, 

Each time you have health (even if it is a little bit) 

To carry through the day, 

Each time you have food on the table, 

Each time you have a place to sleep, 

Each time you have someone to love, 

(Whether is a family member, your better half or good friends) 

So... Practice Gratitude, as many times as you can,
Every day and even when you feel upset or sad.
It is not about what you wish to have or about what you want to have and don't have

It is about what you already have 
Even the slightest, most simple things 
AND TO BE THANKFUL FOR THEM. 
Blessed be*

World - Spent Game

Good afternoon , dearest readers.

During common holidays, I took some time to read and see many interesting articles

And also, think about my own experiences a bit now and then.

I saw this game called "Spent",

Which reflects the reality of (maybe) several families in America.

The chalenge for today is getting through the month.

It is meant to create awareness regarding Poverty and Unemployement.

Can you do it?

Life´s Advice - Inner Weights and Trauma

Good morning!
Woke up rather early, here.
My chosen topic for today is about weight.

As in, emotional weight caused by trauma,
 Significant events and/or fear.

The advice I leave to follow from this day on is to Change and Let Go.
By personal experience, I was stuck in this certain time of my life
Seventeen and eighteen years old, to be exact.

I didn't know what I exactly holding onto, to be honest.
Was it the trauma? pain? addiction? bitterness?
lack of forgiveness? nostalgy? sorrow?

1. The first step is to recognize that a problem exists. 
If you feel that you are heavy hearted by any reason above;
It is time to act and react towards what is leaving you
in that state of either apathy or deep pain.

The weight is there... 
- When it holds you back from being yourself. 

- When it stops you from doing what you used to, 

- Taking along with one or many things that you used to enjoy 

- Whenever you procrastinate.  

- Whenever you let go either by disbelief, 

- Either by guilt...sorrow...sadness... 

What could have happened, 
What could have been, 
What would have been, What could be done. 

It may seem little, but all together carry serious consequences.
By letting go all of that,
You shall feel less heavy on that matter.

And fear? It only is a monster if you allow it to become so.
And it becomes a monster when you you give importance to it
Whenever you drink it, like a poison Whenever you carry it, as heavy luggage.
So please, let go... I shall be here to assist you.

Prayer - Awakening

Awaken, child.
We need your voice.
Mother Earth is suffering.
Awaken...open your eyes.
Believe NO more lies.

(I thought of nothing
My mind just let go, all the words came along...)

We are paying the price for our ultimate and present actions
We are hurting ourselves, our brothers, our ancesters.
Unite. Rise. Peacefully, each and one, awaken.
The Heart. The Mind. The Spirit.

Who will we follow or feed?
Our Guiding Angels or Our Inner Demons?

From scratch and very beginning, we are (bright) lights
You have the ability to change and help the ones around you.
Yet many come along to persuade you and make you doubt
Manipulating your thoughts and purpose.
Darkness, that is.

But, my beloveds, you are light from the start.
You can choose, turn things around.
You matter. Always did, and always do.
You are light, from the start.

Depression - Detox and Embracing

Good morning,  everyone.
Besides talking and writing about advices for your life and daily basis subjects,
Today I decided to share a diferent aproach
Regarding Depression.

Along with this aproach I will add another subject,
Parcially related to Depression which is Detox(ing).
So, here we go :

A. Everything happens for a reason
This is not just a phrase.
Everything DOES happen for a reason.
And things will eventually work out the best way for you.

B. Depression is NOT a lifetime sentence.
After plenty of time reading articles
and having gained knowledge and awareness about this condition,

- I learned that "it" is not a lifetime sentence
It is a condition, as many others, and it must be treated as such.
You are not condemned because you are facing mental illness.
Face it as another phase of your life.
Face it as you were staring it in the eyes,
As an illness that can be diagnosed and treated.
IT WILL PASS!

- It has a cure, but it all starts in YOU as well.
Friends can be a great support as well.
Avoid being alone when you feel down.

- I fell many times in this mistake
(So it applied to myself too)
Change the thinking pattern.

Change the type of music you listen to,
Specially when you feel heartbroken, sad, upset or angry.
Those emotions tend to attract you to songs
Which reflect those negative emotions.
By having those emotions reflected, they won't be gone
Nor cleansed, instead, they will still be there.

We want to reverse the pattern, that vicious cycle.
And we CAN do so.

C. We can also Detox by getting rid of objects,
pictures or dirt at the space/place we spend most time in.
Starting from our bedroom.

Then our computer...
- By cleaning the files, trashbin and uninstalling programmes you no longer use.
- By defragmenting your CPU and cleaning your disc ;
- By selecting, organizing and cleaning your email inbox ;

Then, the living room. And so on.
Everything will feel better and, impressively, lighter!

Heavy burdens have to go.

As we say, at least in my language

It is something like this :

New Year, New Life !

GOD BLESS YOU ALL... !

World - Shooting in Newtown

Good afternoon , dear readers...

Today (and these last days) I have been thinking through.
Which is why I sincerely took some time for myself...
And then, to write this post.

I have to ask : 
What leads someone (to carry and) shoot a gun
Towards his own mother, 20 innocent children, 5 teachers,
Then, put an end to his own life??

This tragedy occured in Newtown, USA in 14th of December
At Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Even thought this happened, it must carry a lesson.
It MUST say something to people... that something IS WRONG!
People must act and react in order to prevent these type of tragedies.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
Not only about School Shootings...

But also about murders, accidents, terrorism, trageries DONE by human hand
Blood spilled, precious lives lost
ALL DONE by human hands...

WHY??

Rest in Peace, little angels.

Who were, as the students, just doing their jobs...
Some even sacrificed themselves in order to save their students...

Seize the Day - Life´s Advice

Good afternoon !

Seize the day.
Cherish it as there was no tomorrow.
Respect your elders.
Pay attention to your family.
Love them.

Before it is too late because you will never know what can happen in the future.
Never regret, carry no malice towards yourself or others.
Leave nothing to say and try not to carry anger towards anyone.

God bless.



Lyrics :
Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away
Arise and seize the day 

Now is the time to seize the day
Send out the call and join the fray 

Wrongs will be righted
If we're united 

Let us seize the day 

Friends of the friendless, seize the day
Raise up the torch and light the way
Proud and defiant
We'll slay the giant
Let us seize the day 

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one 

Open the gates and seize the day
Don't be afraid and don't delay
Nothing can break us
No one can make us
Give our rights away 

Neighbor to neighbor
Father to son
One for all and all for one

The Power of Thought - Life´s Advice

Good morning, to whoever is reading (L)
It's not 11 am still and Winter is showing itself.
It's freezing now, but nothing that a good cup of tea
(Or hot chocolate) can't solve! ;D

The topic I decided to approach today is Thinking Patterns
We all tend to think now and then a bit negative.
However, that can be harmful not only for ourselves,
But for the ones who live with the person nearly everyday
And also, for our health.

Thought is a very powerful tool
And CAN have a great impact in our lives!
SO, be careful with what you do and/or wish for.
If you see or notice that your thinking pattern
Is holding you back from achieving your goals
Or holding you back from having healthy relationships
With your friends, family or your better half,

Then it is time to think and reconsider.

Notice : The change of a thinking pattern is not instant.
It requires time, patience, faith and will.

Then you MUST ask yourself and consider these points:
1. * What do I want for me?

2. * What do I want to be attracted to me?
(As in goals, purpuse, energy, any area of your life
It is called the Law Of Attraction)

3. * Time is an ally and God is healer.
And if you do not believe in God, you can be your own healer.

4. * What has been holding me back from achieving what I want and desire?

5. * Now and then get some time for yourself. And rest.
Not resting can result on not apreciating as well YOUR day.
Because there is a new day, everyday,
Starting from the moment you open your eyes.
There is a chance for CHANGE and there is a chance for RENEWAL.

I suggest these websites as well:

1. About.com (EN)    
2. Pensando Positivo (BR)  
3. Awake2000 (EN)
4. Socionatural, Natural Remedies (PT)
5. Spiritual Ebooks (EN)
6. Circle of Light - Natural Healing (EN)

6. * Another advice is for you to think for yourself
Avoid making part of the masses.
Think as an unique individual and not as the Media tell you or as other people tell you.
It is important to be faithful to your own opinion.
To stand out. To be YOU, not another sheep in the system.

7. * NO, NOT, NEVER...forbidden.
Negative words aren't allowed in thoughts, nor writtings.
What you think may be attracted to you.
You can start for example, writting in a notebook the best times of your life.
The joyful, playful moments. Any that aren't in those categories, aren't allowed.
At all. :D

Blessed be, always*

School - Strategies for Study

Good afternoon , everyone!
First of all, allow me to say (or justify) the cause for my absence:
After some time working for few companies, my temporary contract ended.
I was unemployed then.

With the help of one friend, I knew about a teaching institution here in my country.
It was a wise option (in my eyes) so I tried it!
After some tests and two interviews I was approved and called to start the course!
HOW COOL IS THAT?!
I am willing to go until the end with this course as I have fought to earn a place here.

The trick is to be motivated and truly believe you want to be in that course,
In that job and reflect that positive thought and atittude to the ones around you.
The chances of entering will surely increase!

As for strategies to study I have some tips for you.
Some are good. some might even work out just for me.
You can even adapt them for yourself.

1. The place : I can either study at a noisy place (with headphones on)
Or a more peaceful one.
However, my advice would be to search for a peaceful and quiet place.

2. Organize.
Whether it is a folder or a notebook or even files on your computer
containing .docx word files with each discipline, a great start is to have each discipline separated,
Then separated per lessons
(One to ten, Eleven to Twenty OR One to Five , Six to Eleven and so on...)
Use the tactic that you find that helps you the most.

3. Highlight the most important parts of each new subject, with a bright marker or pen.
That way can help you with learning and knowing all the things that you need before each test/exam.

4. Use keywords.
Some can memorize by using similar words.
It helps to remember, later on.

5. Pay attention to class.
Talking from experience, I payed much attention to class during my schoolyears.
Knowing all the things you need, even if it is at least a bit, can help you out
and that way you do not need to study TOO much.
I do not intent like, to tell you to not study, BUT to study from time to time,
In order to not "overdose" with your brain with the disciplines.

6. Aiming for relaxation.
Lighting a scented candle or incence stick, putting relaxing music on.
Aim and fight always for the best.

7. Start off by the most difficult disciplines.
Then study the ones you can master.
Due to this simple reason :
When you start off your study, you have plenty of energy, unlike the end of that time of study.
The disciplines that you do not understand as well
Will require more concentration and more energy, dedication from you.

The ones you will leave for last will be the ones you are better at
Or on which you feel you can get great grades.
You can study those just to double check the most important points.
I hope I was able to help,
More posts and new features will appear soon.
Take care, my dear readers!
