Hello everyone and welcome to my page!
HELLO EVERYONEMy name is Cherie Amor, totally named after a Stevie Wonder song.
Time for a wee bit of an update.
Going through the rough times?
♥ ♥ ♥
Things don't go wrong, and break your heart, so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.
LET ME ELABORATE
There may be times when life gets ya down but…you can’t when all else fails you try and try again. Look at it this way. Let me break down the term “Perseveranceâ€.
Perseverance means: to continue a course of action despite difficulty; never giving up; to try and try again.
But why perseverance? We all go through a lot of stuff every day and no matter what road we travel down, we will always be facing some sort of roadblock, somewhere. I know I don’t have the worst life in the world, but I always have to deal with a lot of things that I don’t want to put up with. But hey, I love my life. That’s what perseverance is all about. It’s about standing up when you fall down and fighting your way through tough times, even when everything’s against you. It’s fighting the tide because you know you can and will succeed. It’s never losing hope. Whether it’s in life, love, family, or friends. Bottom line: Never give up!
Most true happiness comes from one's inner life, from the disposition of the mind and soul. Admittedly, a good inner life is difficult to achieve, especially in these trying times. It takes reflection and contemplation and self-discipline.
IN OTHER WORDS
Happiness. There are many definitions of happiness…some people have it, some people don’t. Yet the one’s who “don’t†have that happiness, basically CHOOSE not to obtain it. Based on personal experience, people have always tried to discourage me but in the long run, I only fed off of that hate and discouragement and kept doing what I wanted to do. Even though there were chances that I may have fallen, I took matters into my own hands, and played the cards that I was dealt with.
When that quote speaks of the “disposition of the mind†its basically saying that, “if you keep trying…and believe what you TELL yourself to believe…you’ll be able to build a more solid foundation of, and as the quote says, self discipline. Once you achieve that state of mind, you’ll be able to conquer the world. No matter what, keep in mind, YOU are the one who decides whether you are happy or if you are sad, and YOU are the one, and the ONLY ONE who is able to change that.
The only service a friend can really render is to keep up your courage by holding up to you a mirror in which you can see a noble image of yourself.
FOR EXAMPLE
Basically, friends can only go so far. This quote is much like the previous one. Saying, that you shouldn’t ever forget who you really are. Friends aren’t going to be the ones to TELL you how you should live your life, or TELL you what you should think or what you should say. Based on the quote, it’s pinpointing a specific instance and describes in detail an image of a friend, who’s just merely holding up a mirror. Well…pictures say a thousand words, and that would be one of them.
Only you can see who YOU really are. Only YOU can change who you are. Only YOU can see how beautiful you really are inside and out. Don’t EVER let ANYBODY try changing you, or tell you otherwise.
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!
It’s time for a new start. A new beginning. A new year.
Speaking of new years…I’ve got a pretty good list of resolutions I’de like to share with you:
1. Lose Weight and Get in Better Physical Shape
Physical activity builds physical vitality. With every year of your life, you have more to gain from being physically active; as your age-related risks of chronic disease increase, regular exercise generally slows or reverses that trend.
In fact, you're even more likely to notice the benefits of regular exercise if you already have a chronic condition.
Are you ever going to be fit again as long as you live? The answer is unless you make a resolution to get fit – you’re never going to be fit – ever. The choice is yours; it begins by opting for the stairs instead of the elevator, fruit in place of chocolate, and active rather than sedentary activities.
2. Stick to a Budget
It’s been said that the best defense is a good offense. Developing and sticking to a realistic budget is a brilliant offensive move as it prevents overspending and ensures peace of mind.
Many people find it very difficult to stick to a budget. It does take hard work and a lot of self-discipline, at least in the beginning. The good news is that most people find the longer they can stick to a budget, the easier it becomes.
3. Enjoy More Quality Time with Family & Friends
More and more people are resolving to spend more quality time with family and friends this year. This means you must consciously decide to actively and purposely work on improving your family situation every day.
You may need to do such things as reschedule business activities to make time for your kids, help your children set and achieve worthwhile goals, and setting aside an hour a day for the family, every day.
Starting right now, you can begin to make choices and take day-to-day actions that will create nothing short of a phenomenal family. You can choose to have one if you just resolve to do it and know where to put your focus. Making our families stronger and healthier is important to our communities, our state and our world.
4. Find a Better Job
A new year provides a sense of getting a free do-over, so you can try again and get it right. Many people resolve to find better jobs or to take a new approach to the jobs they've already got.
It's corny, but true -- most of us get reflective at this time of year and if we are in jobs already, we begin thinking: Am I on the right path? Do I like where my position and my company are headed? Am I even in the right career?
So you've been hearing that voice again, the one that says you're not doing what you were born to do. That may be true, but how do you figure out what you should be doing?
To begin answering this question, examine whether your current career path matches your core interests, beliefs, values, needs and skills. Resolve to ask and answer those essential questions before making any new career changes.
UPDATE
I QUIT MY JOB!!
Due to specific, and personal circumstances...my time was up…..
Being that it’s a new year I’ve taken matters into my own hands, and made it a goal of mine to make something of myself, starting this year.
P.S………I’m friggin lovin it too!
5. Get organized
Resolve this year to plan your days, reduce interruptions, clean off your desk, say "No", and make detailed lists. The benefits of getting more organized include being able to save time, as you no longer look for the same things over and over again or need to replace things you can’t find at all.
You will reduce stress because when you know where everything is, there’s no last-minute rush to find what you need and get out the door on time for school, soccer practice, or that important business meeting.
You will also find yourself being much more productive, as all the time you once spent looking for things can now be used to do more important or more enjoyable tasks.
Most people define being organized as quickly and easily able to find what you need. While this is certainly true, organization is so much more. The ability to staying organized lets you focus on accomplishing your most important goals. That’s the true benefit of being organized.
6. Volunteer and Help Others
A popular, non-selfish New Year's resolution, volunteerism can take many forms such as spending time helping out at your local library, mentoring a child, or building a house to name a few.
Volunteering has risen sharply in the years since we began collecting resolutions. This suggests the possible emergence of a new civic generation and a resolve to make a bigger and better difference with your life.
Resolve to replace the pursuit of success and materialism with the pursuit of contribution and generosity. For this to occur, the critical question must move from, “How can I become successful?†to, “What can I contribute that will significantly impact other people's lives?†By focusing on what we can contribute, we automatically become successful.
7. Romance
Romance is alive and well as more and more people are looking for that special someone, their soul mate who lights their fire, the ONE whom they love unequivocally and who shares their worldview.
Soul mate relationships are the sort of romantic relationships most of us dreamt of when we were young and innocent: loving and erotic, committed and inspiring and best of all - lasting.
Soul mate relationships give both partners the fulfillment that deeply satisfies them and makes them feel that they have found the most wonderful person in the whole universe.
Speaking of soul mates, and romance…
JOSH AND I
Never in my life did I ever think that I would be so convinced as to what love really is.
There are so many people out there who think they have it but don’t and it makes me happy to know that every morning when I wake up.. I wake up knowing that I am actually in love with a man who loves me just as much and maybe even MORE …..
Josh Finney and I have spent well over a year together, and it’s an incredible feeling to say that my heart belongs to him.
Sometimes it isn't about whether the sun is out or not..it's about who's gonna be there to dance in the rain with you....(Thank you Ben.)
