Inspiration and motivation for the weeksteemCreated with Sketch.

in writing •  7 years ago 

Every Monday I will share with you something that has inspired me, my thoughts and any images, stories or experiences.

Everything in life happens for a reason. This weekend I went to a birthday party of a dear friend of mine. I met and danced with a few people which I knew long ago and it was great to see them again.

It dawned on me this morning, I woke up and had an invitation to a farewell party this weekend. 2 of my closer friends will be leaving to the US and will not be returning. This weekend I also went to a farewell party of someone who is going to England.

So the older I am getting the more friends I am 'losing'. Everyone is off to go and leave their mark on the world.

Looking at all this, people come and go in your life, but there are there for a reason. New people come into your life for a reason, even if its just to learn a lesson from them.

As all these people are leaving I am quite sad, I don't want them to leave, but I also want them to make their future bright.

As this week goes forward I will be concentrating on all the lessons and fun times I have had with all these wonderful people. Then this weekend I will bid them farewell and wish them all the best.

The world is a small place and who knows what will happen in the future, all we can do is hope for the best.

Great post! It's sad to say goodbye to people you're close with, but that makes the day when you see each other again even better! They should start over wherever their heart leads them and I'm sure you can manage to stay in touch and even visit them :)

Yeah... For sure, our heart would always bring back the memories we have shared with them, that's just one thing we cant overcome easily

Wow that's a great one.
I love motivational articles and that's what i usually do. Can you please help me with it@dragonslayer109

nice post @dragonslayer109. Losing good friends is really bad.

Nice quotes ;)

Thats a nice steemit name. I will follow you. I like video games.

Quite touching.
Life is beautiful with all it's ups and downs. Now that some of them have left and some will be leaving, that's sad but you have created beauty out of it again by writing.

Poetry is a way of engraving people on black and white so that they live on forever...... So, this is what exactly you are doing when you start writing about them this week, of course you will smile while writing.

Staying tuned. Lovely post.

Yes the memory will live on and I find it interesting that I only remember all the good.

that's is an inspiring story, @dragonslayer109 . please continue to provide to us motivational stories and educational ones

PLEASE follow me @alba-tross

      THANKS   YOU

With the internet and social media, the world has actually become a small place. Just the fact I'm interacting with you is evidence :-)

That quote about how you react is spot on. We cannot control all things that happen, but we can control how we react to them.

This is the cycle of life mate! I have lost sight of so many friends...but everyone in some stage of life will move on and we remain with memories only !

Great works, I wish you success

nice one @dragonslayer109
its good to move ahead in life than staying stagnant am sure the internet and globalization has made the world a one huge global village as such you can do live video chats and feel as if you guys never parted unlike those days before the internet you write letters and or only expensive phone calls with no much mobile... but hey... you have a huge family with us in steemit... they can as well be steemians and enjoy wealth creation with us.. thanks for sharing this

Skype is going to become my new best friend for quite some time as I want to keep connected to them.

sure and also wassap has live video chat and better on mobile... also IMO has good video chats...
wish you guys all the best...
regards my friend...

friends may be many you have, but a true friend are not as many friends.

Yip, I have loads of friends abroad - most left after school. Even family... Well, life is what you make of it, and so is the town/country you live in hey 😉

Well if I ever go traveling I can crash at their place to visit :D

Haha!! I've done that many times!! Definitely a perk man 😜

thanks a lot! After reading that I got it that my girlfriend is just a waste of time...seriously, if somebody does not support you and makes you life difficult, even more difficult than before, then get rid of him/her ;) cheers

Or, equally importantly, how we refuse to react to it!

Smiling and laughter put things in perspective (after all, very little is really so big and scary), and flood your body with the best sort of survival hormones.

You can think more logically when your mind isn't focused on the negative, too!

True!

Nice post.Everything happens for a reason definitely.The Cosmos is constantly interacting with us, it is left to us to pick up the signal. Upvoted and resteemed.

i don't like it because i do really love it.. keep on inspiring people by your post. every single person will appreciate it if they will understand clearly what is the meaning of what they believe. thank you for your very nice words @dragonslayer109.

Excellent post. This is something I need with what I have experienced today. Thank you. Resteemed.

Life is all about making moments count and cherishing them later : ) thanks for this motivational post

I think this is more philosophy than motivation.

Isn`t it?

Every person in our life is there for a reason, I really believe that. They will all shape you, some will teach you something, some will help you, and so on. You stand to learn from each and every one of them.
I know it's very sad for a friend to go away, but try not to let it get you down. After all, true friendship survives any distance.

Very well put, and with facebook and steemit they are only a click away :D

One of the most inspiring and life-affirming posts that I've come across in a very long time. You never really lose friends, you learn and grow with one person, and then be inspired by this other person that you recently met. Maybe eventually they all part ways with you... look at the bright side. You made memories and that's what you'll take forward in your heart x

I Love ur post

yes... but can we change that and react less?

So true !!

Hope is what will keep u going, no matter what happens... but we must lost our direction and we will always be on our way till our last day :)

Hello @dragonslayer109. I forgot my username and my password to steemit.chat and i cannot login into it. Pls do have an idea of how to solve the problem? Thank you.

I agree with you on all 100%

Thanks for that@dragonslayer. I needed a boost!

This is true! Most the time we can avoid so much by just by just letting things go or a positive reaction to anything, even the negative.
Most of us use our emotions as an excuse,just like the saying "I'm only human" ...I've learnt the best reaction is sometimes no reaction

This is really perfect...if the past cannot prevent us from being present,why then do we hold on to our past...we only do nothing but waste a precious time...am glad to bring a lot more guys in the #steemitghana community to follow you for your good words @dragonslayer109 ...upped

There is always a bright side.
Imagine how great it can possibly turn out after some years when finally meeting in an unexpected place and time to share what you've collected all your life.

Peace, Love, Gratitude

So true - every person that crosses your path is there for a reason - may it be good or bad. Luckily we always have the memories of the good ones and the lessons of the bad ones.

Nice post every day we have to learn meet people and most times it's hard to say good bye I love life and meeting new people and I live for today, life is kind when you meet the right persons, I upvoteed and resteem

Yes I need motivation for whole week!
