The Moment

Posted in , , , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view. We spend more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families. We have more compromises, but less time. We have more knowledge, but less judgment. We have more medicines, but less health. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much. We reached the moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors. We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space. We have higher income, but less morals… These are times with more liberty, but less joy… With much more food, but less nutrition…These are days in which two salaries come home, but divorces increase. These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes. That's why I propose that as of today -- You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a special occasion. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to the needs. Pass more time with your family, eat your favorite food, visit the place you love. Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; it isn't only survival. Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume… use it every time you feel you want it. Take out from your vocabulary phrases like, "one of these days" and "someday". Let's write that letter we thought of writing "one of these days…"Let's tell our families and friends how much we love them. Never pass up a chance at adding laughter and joy to your life. Every day, hour, and minute are special… Because you never know if it will be your last…If you're too busy to take some minutes to share this message with someone you love, and you tell yourself that you will share it "one of these days"… "one of these days" can be very far away, and you may not be there to see it…

Be Free

Posted in , , by Rafaelina Siri | Edit
Going with the flow is the way to live. There is a difference between going with the flow and loving love versus going with the flow and being passive and lazy. Going with the flow & appreciating life and the beauty in little things is the way to live. Modesty and humbleness. Sweetness and kindness as well as fighting for your beliefs and believing in your dreams. Appreciating life with a strong attitude. Rolling with the punches and appreciating life for how it is, is how I view life. There isn't time for crap and being upset|sad|angry or whatever the case may be. That's my attitude, but sometimes I get caught up and blinded with the "obstacles" and situations life throws at me that I sometimes forget to just be happy that I am alive and well. I could be in worst dilemmas in my life like many people in this world. There is beauty in everything! My boyfriend is a beautiful inspiration in my life, he has reminded me to just be happy no matter how difficult or harsh live may be. That's me, it's my motto, my attitude, I forget. He's right! He reminds me of happiness, he is my happiness. Time is precious. There's no time to waste on being upset with a miserable demeanor. I sit and think and realize wow this is not me at all, why am I acting this way? Why am I feeling unhappy? I am not feeling happy with some aspects of my life, but I am happy that I have a family, a home, beautiful friends, amazing partner. These are the things that make life worthwhile. If I'm not feeling happy, I have to and I am going to do something about it. Don't get me wrong, I try and try and try and not see rewards or results, but I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP! Never! Freedom and beauty is a gift from God. We're here because of him. Everything happens for a reason. Being free is so beautiful, feeling relaxed, feeling serene, feeling celestial at peace is one of the many great gifts God has given us. A glimpse of heaven is to be free. Liberating! Life is beautiful, life is temporary, we're only here for a little while. Make the best of it. Love life and make wise decisions. Think with your ♡, feel with your ♡. I am going to be a successful person, I have lots of love and passion in my fiery soul! I know that I'll be where I wanna be very soon and I cannot wait for that day! BE FREE, don't forget to be happy today. Be happy to be here today and that you're alive and well. Be thankful for all that's around you and all that you have. Imagine, some people wish to possess the things you and I have. Sadly, most of us don't appreciate the things we cherish until they are gone. Don't allow it to be that way, always enjoy the present. Always. Are you happy today? Ask yourselves. Xoxo <3
