Its My Birthday ....

It’s my birthday.... another year older and inside I’m screaming to be heard.... I know from personal experience in this great big wide wonderful, crazy, world... there are a lot of good, honest, decent people who live their lives in a balanced, honest way.
BUT... there are also people who are fragile, damaged through no fault of their own... this can disable them enormously making them feel emotionally inadequate, causing low self esteem which leaves them with no confidence... I say all this for a reason...
Life is too short to look back in the past... If you have ever listened to anything then please listen to this.
Do yourself a favour... what I ask is not always an easy thing to accomplish or even remember especially in our hectic, busy lifestyles. Try to consciously Open 4 things in your life... it will aid you as you make footprints in the sand...

Open your arms wide... to enable yourself to love, support, hug, and hold. Do this even if someone once pushed you away....

Open your ears... to hear good as well as bad stuff... really listen and act appropriately. Even if someone once told you to ‘shut-up’

Open your eyes wide... so that you can see around you to realise the beauty that surrounds us and when you see something dark, don’t close your eyes and ignore, make yourself deal with it. Do it my friend even if you’re really afraid, remember... there is always someone who will hold out their hand.

Open your heart... to open this is to let love in when you subsequently allow it to flow out, this somehow magically turns you into a stronger person. If you have love in your life, it usually follows you will have love inside. To share that special gift will enhance yours and someones elses life... behind the scenes this usually has a knock on effect that very often you dont get to see but the person you affected is the richer for having known you....These things are needed to hear, see, feel, hug and hold... Do it... one day you will look back, you will know your presence made a difference.
