Effort.

When you say something, make sure you mean it; stand behind your words and be completely honest with everything you write, speak, shout and cry about.

Do everything you’ve ever dreamed about, and put your heart into it. Own your actions, be about them and execute everything you choose to do with pride.

Make a promises that you plan to keep, that you, yourself, believe in. Once you give that promise to someone, hold yourself to it and make sure it sticks.

Always give hugs full of love and kiss with passion;  share kindness with every ounce of your soul.

A little bit of effort in the right places makes a big difference and it makes the world, a better place. When you live to the fullest, it makes for a better you and a life that’s more enjoyable. Don’t waste another minute and don’t let your actions fall short of their potential. Live life to the extremes and make every moment, worth it.

 

 

 

 

The Girl Behind the Good Looks

She’s got eyes that instantly draw you in; they’re innocently seductive, in their exotic beauty. Her skin seems flawless and her smile – it’s simply gorgeous. In your eyes, she’s perfection… that good looking girl.

Look past her attractive features, and you’ll realize that’s she’s got a soul. She’s got feelings that hurt, emotions that flourish, and a heart that beats with love.
See her for who she is, instead of what she looks like. See that she’s more than an easy sight on the eyes or your choice of arm candy for the evening; she’s more than a ‘name drop’, a notch on your bed post, and a worthwhile brag to all of your guy friends.

The truth is that she really is a good looking girl. It comes naturally to her and she just can’t help it sometimes, but she’s so much more than that and you know it. Acknowledge her for what she’s really worth, instead of what she looks like. You’ll be a better person for it – and if your goal was to get lucky with her, doing this will give you a better shot.

 

The Heart that Loves.

I wish I could turn down the dial of my compassionate heart, sometimes.

You see, my heart has this way of embracing people and great ideas in a tremendous way, like the way a bear hug feels when shared by someone who really loves you.  And while this sounds like a super-awesome quality, it sometimes gets the best of me.
Someone comes into my life and on some sort of level, I fall in love with them; I come across a fantastic idea, concept, possibility or project and my heart jumps on board, ready to reach ultimate highs. Whatever it is, whoever it happens to be – it’s all I can think about. I yearn for it, helplessly crave it – and I’m hooped.

In certain lucky scenarios – things work out for the best and having a big, loving heart works in my favour. But every now and again, happily ever after… doesn’t happen. The hopes of great success and the possibilities for what I wanted are slim to none, and I’m stuck.
My heart is screaming: “Let’s make this happen, it has to happen. I want. I need. This could be so amazing. Yes!”, while my head says: “No, I’m sorry. It just cannot be. There’s no way, it’s not possible. It’s not going to work out, I’m sorry. Let go.” It’s those moments, when my head knows the truth, but can’t convince my heart of the unfortunate reality. My heart, sometimes just doesn’t understand – which can make life, incredibly frustrating on occasion.

Despite the things in life that aren’t meant to be, there’s still a lot of awesome that can/will happen – which is why, sometimes, my heart just needs to chill.

Because, it’s really not a bad thing to have a heart that just loves to love… it just can’t love everything, all the time, at full force.
