Why We Listen

“The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear”  - Elf (Infinifilm Edition)

Feeling healthy and great all the time can be hard. When our minds and bodies feel good, we want  to stay in that fantastic mind set forever. Unfortunately enough, the world we live in is not  perfect and nor are we. 

So is there some sort of cure to feeling bad? Is there some sort of pill that changes your mood? 

Yes, there is.

It's called music.

It has been a part of human nature since humanity began, and could quite possibly be one of mankind's greatest creations. So what's so special about it other than being an old tradition? Well nothing really, except well...

It transforms us, it moves us. It changes our moods and our way of life. We listen so that we can hear the music.

Tonight a good deal of caroling shall be heard, from churches to homes. We listen to it because we want to. We want to because it makes us feel better. It makes us feel better because it connects us all, no matter how diverse each and every one of us are. We all feel the same feelings during a song no matter what language we speak. It gives us the ability to reach out to those who previously could not be reached.

So by all means reach out, sing, and enjoy the holidays!

Good Night World,

Sleep Strong.

To Live for a Reason

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

 I believe that every single person in the entire world lives for a reason. We all have a job to do. We are all linked. We are all meant to help each other.

The statement above may seem to you as farfetched, or impossible, which is why you must remember a lesson you learned from your childhood: Sometimes you must believe no matter what the circumstances are.

Look at life with a new perspective and it will be better. I myself, was like you at one point in time and then, then I opened my eyes.Life suddenly looked so much brighter. I had a lot more to live for. I suggest you start this new perspective by taking my suggestions below.

Christmas can be a great and happy holiday. For those of us for which it is, take a second to look at what you have, where you are, and what you have accomplished.

Take it all in and remember to live. Live so that you can ensure many more great days like this one.

Although Christmas can be great, we must not forget those for whom are less fortunate. When times are down, and if money is short, remember: Miracles happen all the time, they are only rare because they are hidden, and only a few seek to look for them.

Whether your Christmas is sad or happy, remember: We are all meant to be here. We are all miracles. We are all equal, rich or poor, bad or good, we are all human.

And finally, whether it's Christmas or the middle of July, remember:  No matter how bad life gets, there are always people and ideas worth living for.

Good Night World,

Sleep Strong.
