Let us talk about hearing the word ‘no’.

It’s OK to hear the word ‘no’. No means ‘next opportunity’. You just have to move onto the next opportunity, there are always going to be opportunities waiting for you. The word no pushes us to the next opportunity until life takes us to the right opportunity to finally become the person that we were always meant to be. All we’ve got to do is change our mindset from negative into positive and that is how you beat every challenge or obstacle laid in your path, that is how you win in life.

Time has a way of showing us what really matters in life. In life you have to go through certain hardships and trials in order to learn what is most important. If you surround yourself with the wrong aspects then you are just setting yourself up for failure. If you make the wrong things more important in life then you are taking yourself down a long dark road that nobody wants to be on. It is important to have priorities in life, that way you are teaching yourself what matters most.

We live in a society that grieves suicide but doesn’t want to talk about mental health. Some people that you know are already on the edge. Let us look at the people who are struggling in life. Instead of grieving suicide let us try to find ways to prevent suicide from happening. Let us try to find ways that we can help people who are struggling mentally. Nobody wants to see people take their own lives because of a temporary situation. All situations can be dealt with and suicide should never be one of those solutions. Let us try to show people that there is always a better tomorrow. Let us help them to turn their negatives into positives and let’s show them that they are not alone and that they shouldn’t have to be. Life is all about helping one another and if that means taking time out of your busy schedule just to be kind to someone then so be it. You will never know the importance of being nice to someone until you are faced with it, you will never know how the little things that you say to someone can affect them in big ways, so let us try to change the world and try and make it a better and more peaceful place for everyone to live in.

One person can’t change the world, but the world can change one person.
