Because…

Because hoping is better than living without

Because dreams really do give you strength

Because if the evil eye is true, so is the power of prayer

Because peace is not a state of mind, it’s a way of life

Because that relief on another person’s face after they hear what they desperately need to is sometimes worth the temporary lie

Because at least one shoulder to lean on needs to always be your own

Because the million reasons not to are easily offset by one reason to

Because distance created and communication broken leads to silences that words can rarely fill

Because being in physical company of people tells you if your body and soul can actually relax around them – because that’s what makes it a silence worth filling no matter what

Because memories and the past can bind up to a point – shared experiences, happiness and sorrow makes for blossoming relationships

Because sometimes fear of the unknown can take away happiness of the known

Because happiness of the known can bring a smile and hope that can melt away the fear

Because sometimes standing still is way better than moving on – if you don’t stand and observe you won’t know where to move to or how

Because a deep breath really does center your body which calms your mind – two seconds of diverting your mind to breath rather than worry does really clear the air

Because desires and dreams are real we take a step forward

Because comparison is easy and perspective goes missing

Because our lack of control over a lot of events messes up the mind

Because the thing you can control is your mind

Because forced laughter is more helpful than real sorrow

Because you can only move forward when you move

Because a view from the top is not always worth the effort – but sometimes it is

Because what’s worth it and not is about what you gave up

Hum of the Day

There are a million reasons why truisms are true and another million why they are no t. The side of the coin depends on the view you are looking for.
