For my friend...

There are many inspirational leaders throughout the world. I am not trying to be one, but this entry is for you, my friend, so that you may be able to finish your journey with your head held high, with the feeling of accomplishing the inner peace that you always wanted.

When I look back at all I have been through, at how many times I wanted my life to end, at how many times darkness subsided in my heart, well I would lose count because there are so many. From the heart, let me tell you one thing, never lose hope. Because in the end, all you have is faith, hope, and love. But above all is Love. My creator had never left me. My God has always kept me safe, always provided for me, and always loved me. I want to emphasize to the human race one thing that I learned before I lay to rest. That is, never give up, never think it's the end, because one day you will earn your rest that you have been dreaming of.

In the bible, they always say to live as if today was your last breath. To have every moment count, because one day that could be your last moment. So if you sit in your chair right now, and your stressed out on life, think about the people you love, think about how none of this school or work matters once you're gone. Many times we forget about this simple things in life, what really matters to us. The reason why we are all here alive right now, is because we have the chance to improve ourselves and our souls. Our creator is giving us the chance to have the pure spirituality that we were born with. The soul that was not corrupted by the world. Atheist or Religious, we all have the same emotions. From a point of view that we can all see, we must seek contentment within ourselves, with the gentle spirit within us.

So I hope that you never give up, because life is all about getting over these little humps along the way. I promise you that if you never give up, and you actually seek for that inner peace, one day you will actually find it. Thus, you will have the greatest happiness that can ever be achieved.
