THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD

Inspirational words can encourage a society to take inspirational actions, which in turn will govern long-term changes to be made for the betterment of society. Our successors can only be achieved if we as a society are on the same page and are ready to do what needs to be done to propel society forward. The power of positive thinking carries further with the momentum to affect society for the positive rather than the alternative efforts that are put in place in order to force people to submit to what they passionately disagree with and then expecting a good result. The power of words stays with you even when the person who speaks them passes away, this is why getting someone to see another perspective is better than trying to force your opinion down someone's throat in order to control them. In order to reap the benefits that can only be achieved by forward thinking, we need to educate ourselves in being open minded and not judging someone based on one of their many opinions that you may disagree with. Force will never hold the same power or influence that encouragement offers, which is why it will not replace the progress that is willingly achieved through inspirational encouragement that spires from wisdom. So whether you accept that people will eventually rebel against a forced hand rather than an open one, it is up to you to deal with the repercussions when you're faced with them.

OVERRULED

When you put forward a claim there are those who will always claim the opposite in order to prove that they have seen both sides of the story and in your assertion that you may have missed something of importance. This is done not only because they believe that they are making a point that you haven't yet considered but also they want to highlight how open minded they are compared to you. They confidently believe that you have  jumped to conclusions rashly without logical thought even though you've made your claims with all things considered which is why your focus is now only on the importance of what should take presidence. When decisions have to be made we like to consider everyones preferences but where opinions crossover we have to make the choice to satisfy the many and at the same time try to accommodate the best we can for the minority. If we decided to do the opposite to what seems to be the most rational choice to satisfy the most people you can in your power because they are more flexible and more willing to compromise  whereas the minority are more likely to be focused on only their own way of being and are less likely to try to adapt with the consensus because it doesn't fit their specific needs. The choice should be an easy one if you don't turn it into an emotional one because emotions will keep you thinking that you can please everyone but logical thought understands you can't. People are sometimes driven by their irrational emotions which can go against what is logical and steer others into the wrong direction this puts your focus on the individual who isn't in control of their emotions rather than the clear thought process you have when you are in your right mind. So before you make any claim make sure that you can stand by it before it is overruled with a simple comment otherwise you will be left to choose to backtrack anything you may have said that made you second guess your claim.

BORN TO DO IT

Talents are the becons that guide us through to the right job that we should endeavour to pursue, even though our preferences dont always align with our raw talents they still manage to divert our focus away from our intrinsic skill set. Most of the time our chosen pathways are focused on what we see as the practical choice rather than the most logical choice that will bring us a higher level of happiness because it is connected to our core being. Money is a factor that can steer someone to choose what pays more even if it takes away the joy that being in the right job brings you. Talents are rare and should be appreciated as you would appreciate any gift because not everyone is lucky enough to possess what you have achieved without even trying. Those who admire your talents have to put in more time and a lot more hard work just to come close to the standard that you have easily reached. All that extra effort that they put in, they still aren't guaranteed the same result. That is why not using what you've got is abusing what you've been given, and you should never squander the gifts that have fallen in your lap.

LIFE ON HOLD

We put all the things we intend on doing on hold in order to accommodate for the things deemed immediate because our priorities change and the time we have left is limited. Our preferred bucket list gets pushed aside to accommodate for a logical exchange even though our achievements can be measured in so many ways if what we choose to do with our time doesn't belong on the bucket list you can almost predict that you'll feel that you've let yourself down. The bucket list is usually full of life experiences that you wish to fulfil before you kick the bucket whereas your day to day to do list is what you've put in place to ensure that the day runs smoothly. Your day to day task may help you function short-term, but it's your long-term goals that your bucket list is made up of that gives you something to look forward to. Life is about sacrifices, but there is always a limit where the more you give up is the more you feel that you are losing yourself. That's why a balanced lifestyle will reward you with peace . The key is we have to have a to do list to function through the day but we also have to not neglect that at the end of completing our responsibilities we owe it to ourselves to pursue our bucket list. 

HARDER THAN THE TIMES

As much as we strive for an easier life to live without difficulties in your life to challenge you the easier lifestyle you lead will magnify your vulnerabilities so that you will inevitably  struggle at the first sign of trouble. Difficult times strengthen your mentality so that you have the learned experiences to deal with lifes ups and downs because everyone's life has ups and downs. No one is immune to the troubles that will eventually find them. It is very important that we remain tougher than the tough times ahead because our mental health is on the line. No matter how strong you think you are, your mental health can break if you don't allow yourself to learn from your mishaps. So brace yourself during the tough times and wait the storm because the tough times will eventually dissipate, and all that will remain is the stronger version of you.

REPUTATION INPRINTED

Once you have a reputation, it can feel like it is set in stone, but this is only true if it's a bad reputation because it is almost impossible to lift your status once it's down. Those of you who are lucky enough to have a good rep it can be short lived when society has its eyes on you, this is because once you are in the publics eye the expectations on you to remain perfect is heightened beyond any normalcy. Peoples expectations of those that they have already thrown in the bad rep basket are at the all-time lowest that they could be, which is why they are overlooked even when they try to do good. Whereas a good reputation can be tainted quickly because people who see you in high regard are jagged by any slight thing you do that can tarnish their almost perfect view of you. In life their is no possibility of pleasing everyone because once you reach someone's high standards you decline from someone else's. So make your own standards and try your best to live up to them and dont worry what basket society decides to put you in.

TAKEN FOR GRANTED

When you've grown accustomed to having an easier lifestyle, it's likely that you will forget those who have helped you get through those tough times. Whether or not they have played an integral part in you being able to reach your desired lifestyle its all forgotten anyway when you are living in the moment of your success. The moment your desired lifestyle becomes the norm is the moment that your new found comfort takes priority over what is right and overrides any appreciation that you should have shown for those who have contributed to your added happiness. The last thing on the mind of someone who is enjoying their easier lifestyle is what sacrifices may have had to happen for them to get their desired way of life. This is why it is important that we keep to memory that the sacrifices that are done willingly by our friends should never be forgotten for that we are only where we want to be because of those who went with out in order for us to have more. Humility goes a long way when you are able to reflect on your journey through the tough times that you can only succeed surrounded by supportive friends even when you were at your lowest state of mind.

ON THE RIGHT TRACK

We are not always on the right track when it comes to our life, but no matter how many times we veer to the wrong path, there is always a way back to where you'd rather be. It just becomes much more harder the further you stray away from where you'd prefer to be, your efforts now have to be magnified to match the negative position that you've put yourself in and you need to focus on making better life decisions. You will not always do it on the first try but your failures have a purpose to remind you that if you quit you will remain stagnant in the same position that you claim that you'd do anything to get out of. We need to use our failures to fuel our courage to persuavere through the dramas so we can claim the things we say we deserve, you want a better life than do everything in your power to make it a reality. When you make a mistake, own it, then recognise where you went wrong and change your path. Life lessons can either benefit you by teaching you how to manage yourself through the storm, or you can ignore the patterns of your choices and never learn from your mistakes. So tomorrow is a new day. What will you now do with your day?

OUT OF BOUNDS

Boundaries are a necessary measurement to keep us aligned with what we believe in and at the same time steering us away from a pathway that we believe is wrong. We need boundaries not only to keep our standards in check but also to ensure others dont cross our personal line of comfort. Without putting the right boundaries in place, we are only guaranteeing a negative life experience that will lead us to confusion, and eventually, what will follow would be an overwhelming increase of stress. Boundaries are put in place by us for us with logic in mind, with the intention to be our guide in making the right choices for the betterment of ourselves. When we ignore logical reasoning and choose to venture beyond our chosen boundaries, we lose the foundation that keeps us together, causing cracks in our state of mind. Life has its ups and downs and when you feel at your lowest it takes an enormous amount of effort to propel you beyond the sink-hole of depression this is the moment you appreciate what boundaries can do for you. So don't forget you are in control of your boundaries, it is up to you to recognise the good ones from the bad ones.

NO HANDICAPS HERE

Handicap individuals don't want to be treated like they are different from the rest of society they strive to fit in with everyone else and  would rather not be seen purely for their handicap.They want to be recognised for what they can do not for what they can't do  they are strong willed individuals and dont need the sympathy of others to give them  reasons to push through the tough times. They have a resilience that most people would never know because it takes starting on the back foot that strengthens their mentality to persuavere to the next level whereas those who haven't needed to do without take for granted the advantages that they've had on the get go. People who go without the norms appreciate on a higher level the good days for they don't always come as regularly as it does for some, to the other side who can't remember the last struggles that they've had slowly start to forget to appreciate their current situation especially when they are feeling at the top of their game. This is why it is important to appreciate the advantages that you may have in life and to remember not to belittle others when they are trying to be better themselves. Handicap individuals don't want or expect extra they just want they same as their peers.
