Certainly! Mental health struggles can be as debilitating as physical illnesses, yet they often remain hidden. It's vital to recognize that anyone can be affected, and the power of compassion and support can make a profound difference in someone's journey towards healing and recovery.

I am proud of the person I am becoming. Each day, with each step and breath, I am shifting into a better version of myself. I am growing, and learning, and becoming the safe space I always deserved to live in. My mindset and priorities have changed, I value peace, beauty, love, and balance. I hold, with importance, the perspectives that will lift me up. I choose to rise and flourish with my environment, and prioritize the moves that will help me grow……….

No more searching for peace In broken homes No more fighting to mend someone's broken heart No more trying to fix their emotional scars No more going to war For the people who started the battle No more neglecting the person that matters No more pretending your trust isn't fragile No more losing yourself In this complicated maze No more working hard for a love That pays minimum wage You deserve to discover The person you are meant to be Do your heart a favor Shift the focus back onto yourself You will discover bliss & good health Once you stop trying to heal everyone else….

Free yourself from judgment and comparison. Decide right now what you want your life to look like Then put all of your efforts into creating it by keeping a positive mindset and attitude while doing what’s in your reach. If you keep happy thoughts in your mind, soon your life becomes happier. Remain balanced and confident in yourself. Love and accept yourself more each day because you're worth it.

Occasionally we will get to meet different types of people during our life time, the good and bad who will describe you or what you go through basing on their own opinions and perspectives. But whatever they say most especially the negative things, no defines you or anything to do with you. You’re important and never feel otherwise about yourself.

Sadness is a feeling hard to understand by another but only the one going through it. A feeling that need close attention and a strong support system for people going through it. And to those experiencing it, never give up on yourself to this temporary situation.

Life is full of heartbreaking and challenging moments. Most of them can take a piece of us unknowingly but they can also be absorbed into positive thoughts and feelings if moderated. This audio is a message of reminder to all of us on our capabilities towards these situations.

Time flies and memories fade. People change and new friendships are made. Only the true remain forever at our side. Eventually the disappointment and pain will subside. It is all about the journey and what has yet to come. Life is what you make of it; you are what you've become. Life is too short to hold onto regrets. Forgiveness is key even though you may never forget. Cherish the good and remove the bad. Some people don't realize till it's gone what they've had. Moving on is a way of life. There will always be obstacles, pain, and strife. You must believe that you are strong enough to fight. You have to believe in yourself to do what is right. Always do for YOU no matter what you do, Because in the end the only one who has your back is you. Never be afraid to take a stand, And always be willing to lend a helping hand. All it takes is a smile to brighten someone's day. Your chance to live is now, so what are you waiting for? The world is yours for the taking and so much more. Endless possibilities are forever at your disposal. The chance to live another day is life's golden proposal. Never let anyone tear you down, And never let anyone steal your shine and make you frown. So will you sit in the shadows and let darkness win again? Or will you rise up and make the light your friend? Here is your chance, so what will you do? You've got this because I believe in you!

Treat me with love, dignity, respect and compassion Now as I am healthy, vibrant and alive. Don't wait to hear that I am sick and dying To love me the way I was meant to be loved. Bring me flowers and candy on any day just because. Don't wait for a holiday, love and cherish me every day. Tell me I am beautiful. See my beauty in my body and soul. Don't wait to see that I am disfigured And then tell me that I am beautiful Because you think that is what I want to hear. Talk to me lovingly now so I can hear your beautiful voice And listen to the ringing of your laughter. Don't try to talk to me that way now That I am deaf and can no longer hear your sweet voice. Speak words of love and compassion So I can remember those conversations Even though I may not be able to hear them again. Come one day and you will be sad, you will be sorry! Treat me like a human being with a life That needs to be lived my way...not yours! Remember that our Creator gave you your own life To live the way you please. Leave me to live mine!! I do not tell you what you should or should not do... I just listen and give you support. Why can't you do the same? I am this way and you are that way. That's because we are different... We are unique...can't we compromise? Bury the hatchet and move along. Free your body, free your soul. Let's just take the precious time We have now to live and to love... Everything else will slowly fall into place. Now I am sick and dying. You are now trying to love me, to bring me flowers, To speak loving words into my ears. Why did we waste all those years, all that time... Just to be where we are now, Now when I am too weak, too sick to enjoy your gifts? Love me now... As your sister, your brother, Your husband, your wife, Your niece, your nephew, Your daughter, your son... Don't wait until it is too late! Don't wait until I am gone... Narration by Ray Courage

Life situations at times get us feeling broken and failing our ability. But when we find the courage to work hard on building the best in us, that passion is something that gives us the motivation to keep trying, even if you fail time after time.
