Everybody has hard times!

 Everybody has hard times!

Here is another inspirational post from contributor, Stephanie Carfrae. She is a Creative Writing Graduate; you can find her own blog at www.stephcarfrae.blogspot.co.uk and I think you will be inspired by Steph's videos on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkoz1yev_apPjE8XcVrjyjA/videos 

You can only change the world little by little. You can’t change it instantly and make an overnight success of yourself. Of course, nowadays these limits are changing. 

But please know if it is taking time to come around that is the way of the world. Most of the overnight successes of the past have been forgotten because if it’s a video on youtube, someone’s watched it once or a few times but after they’ve done it they’ve done it. You may feel you want that kind of success but it’s much better to work towards something, than just to have it whether you’re appreciative or not. Then at least if you get it you will be more thankful because you’ve been through some really hard times and even doubting it would happen.


Everybody has hard times. No life is plain sailing. So always be considerate. You can’t know what’s on someone’s mind or where they are on their journey. How far have they come? How far do they have left to go? No one can say because honestly no one knows. When you get to wherever you’re going, you tend to forget how many sleepless nights you longed for it etc. 

You can go through a range of emotions at any given time, emotions are unpredictable. You can be feeling great at one time, then awful the next. Life has a way of knowing when we’re feeling good and then coming down like a tonne of bricks. But this is to test us. How strong is your faith or belief in yourself? Will you get through it, and add it to a number of antidotes’ or let it defeat you? I think I know how we should/want to answer that question. So the question is, what are you going to do?

A Lakota Peyote Healing Song by Robbie Robertson

A Lakota Peyote Healing Song by Robbie Robertson YouTube is full of music that claims to be Native American from North America and usually it isn't. It may be quite beautiful music but it is not what it claims to be. And in my view it does not have the same power.  This is authentic, beautiful and powerful Singer, song writer and guitarist Robbie Robertson was born Jaime Robert Klegerman in 1943, in Toronto, Ontario. He was born to a Jewish father and a Mohawk mother and took his stepfather's last name after his mother remarried.
