You are the best you are capable of being. - Maya AngelouYou don’t have to be your full self to make yourself beautiful. - Unknown, Unknown
What is an unexpressed beauty without a sparkle? Or, is it not that which makes us happy?
When we don’t need to be reminded how much love we feel for another and we can feel it ourselves, when we find something our heart desires, when we can see the face of someone who loves us like no one else has, then we have all our needs met. All this should lead us to realize that what makes us feel whole and true to ourselves, is not other people. It is also us. We must recognize that if there were no one else in the world to remind us to feel our way, then at least we felt as though we had someone to talk to. And that is when we know when we have truly found our perfect mate in our hearts.
So whenever in your life, when your heartaches or breaks, when you feel hurt or alone – when the world seems so unfair, when you wish you could change something about the world or the people around you – remember this: you are the best.
You are the best you can be because it is always possible. You have the power to be good and kind and love, even if no one can see it. Because it is simply impossible to hide from someone who doesn’t care that you feel hurt, upset, or empty. For all they know, your heart knows, and their hearts do too.
Because of these simple reasons and those of others I am writing my essay today, where I can use some words like me for the first time, I can write this
1) Love isn’t a feeling. It is action. Action means things get done and it is the difference between success and nothingness. If we want to grow our lives and bring happiness into our lives we must act on our feelings. When someone hurts us, we must react as everyone else does: we respond with anger or fear. But it isn’t good enough to just cry and let it be over. We are responsible for our responses. If not acted upon at an early stage, not only can it create a cycle of pain, sadness, abuse, and depression but it can also leave us broken inside. So you see, the key to understanding Love is to understand the actions that speak back – whether you know it or not – the words and actions that say ‘I feel this and this and this.
2) People are never happy until they have made mistakes, yet are always unhappy until they have made the first one better by doing the right thing. John Humphrey once said to me “The greatest mistake you can ever make is not making the first mistake.” This quote has been attributed to William Shakespeare (in Henry IV). It was written by Aristotle himself. Of course, they are not entirely wrong – in the majority of cases, they make sense. His writings are often very instructive, but they always bear the mark of plagiarism and false wisdom.” In this case, however, Aristotle’s teachings might be just the beginning of what defines him as a pioneer in many ways, but, it would be a lie to claim otherwise. He has set the way for many generations, through his book titled ‘Nicomachean Ethics, to be able to understand the meaning of life and happiness. A few years ago, he published his latest treatise called ‘The Nicomachean Ethics of Morals’, in which he discusses the various virtues that constitute us. These include justice, mercy, courage, responsibility, respect, humility, and happiness. All of these virtues are directly connected with ones in his second book, which speaks of ‘the path to happiness’.Aristotle’s writings defined a particular moment in human history.
3) Everything that surrounds us affects us, positively or negatively, and sometimes has a direct impact on our happiness, as this is true whether we choose to acknowledge or deny it or whether we truly believe that if we change our environments, it will affect how we think and feel. One of Shakespeare’s great tragedy plays, Hamlet is based on events surrounding the protagonist’s father, King Claudius. When Prince Hamlet is sent to Norway to visit her uncle King Gertrude, he becomes depressed because things seem bad around her too. He studies how people say “good morning” and what the word “hello” actually means and he also meets people from different backgrounds. As a result of this, and of course, of everything in the play, his view of his brother and sister-in-law is warped. He begins to understand how other views, from both sides, can distort the truth and cause them to lose sight of who they are. Although not a particularly healthy response to grief, Hamlet, then, did not respond in the same manner, turning against the family they live in.
4) . However just as important, if not more so, are his ideas – particularly his concept of ‘the soul’.One story tells the tale of Hades, god of fire, and according to Greek legend, Hades loved his child Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom, but she was killed by Zeus after stealing her crown from Aphrodite, Goddess of Harmony and Justice. After being banished to Tartarus, Hades took Hermes, Hades’s messenger, and exiled him to earth, giving birth to the mortal form of man and causing him to start falling in love with his mother. them to be strong, and she wanted to divorce him so she could have a chance to live. On seeing this, Hermia asks him what his parents have taught him, and she says that his father wants him to be king and that he will remain king in return for all he has done. Her message to her son is clear and powerful, telling him to follow his heart and his head and to never give up on the task he has set out for him, even if it seems impossible. Yet her warning is not followed, instead, Hermia and Lysias go on to marry and have children and marry again. Their children inherit the same fate as their mother did, yet despite all the troubles that arise from the marriages of their ancestors, they continue to stay together and work hard to ensure that they are comfortable in their lives
and moving forward in their life. Being unapologetically yourself is a lot easier and more exciting than trying to pretend to be someone else. There is always a side or dimension of you that you truly aren’t aware of, and you probably wouldn’t want to open up those parts of yourself. Not that most people ever do, but that is exactly why being the person that you truly are will allow you to thrive, while maintaining your individuality. The secret is within ourselves.
If your friends cannot accept you for having lived a certain way all your life, or vice versa, then that is okay. It is ok to take pride in who you are and not change who you are to fit into someone else’s mold. re. Let’s stop worrying that you will fit into anyone else’s mold; we shouldn’t worry because
