The Only People You Need in Life are the Ones that Need You in Theirs

Sometimes, you have to realize that not everyone loves the same way you do. Not everyone shares the same values nor has the same standards on how a relationship should work. Of course it hurts when you find out that you do not mean as much to someone as you thought you did. It is totally fine to cry, to spend afternoons lying in bed listening to sad music and eating ice cream; everyone gets to a point where they cannot do it anymore. However, after a certain amount of time, you have to get up and live again. It might be hard, because all you want to do is to be alone and not see anyone. Fight against the urge to go back home. Go outside, spend time with good friends who encourage you, believe in you, make you happy. You deserve to live your life the way you want it to be. Therefore, focus on the people who contribute to your happiness, moments that make you smile, hobbies that relax you etc. There is so much more outside our cages; the world is such a huge place - you will find the right one when the time has come!

Meanwhile, live your life, smile, give each day the chance to be the best one you have ever experienced. Be grateful for the lessons - you were hurt due to realizing that some people do not care as much as you do. However, it is much better to see it now than living a scheme. You were given the chance to find someone better, someone who values you, supports you, sees you as the wonderful person you are. Say "thanks life for showing me what I do not want" and move on. It is hard, it is a long process and there will be moments of doubt. Never give up, do not look back - only to see how far you have come and be proud of yourself.

Have a great week!

Happy New Year! & Welcome back

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2016. 12 months. 366 days. 

New chances and opportunities. It is never too late to set yourself goals and to make your dreams come true. Everyday is a new chance for you to make it right. You have not spoken to a good friend of yours in weeks? - Go and contact him. You have always wanted to learn a specific language? - Get up and start. You want to spend more time outside? - Go for a walk. 

Be happy. Live and enjoy every day. Be thankful for all the little things that make your life better. A cup of tea. Waking up to the sound of chirping birds. Reading a wonderful novel. Listening and dancing to your favorite music. A great and deep conversation with a friend. Laughing until it is hard to breathe. 

One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day!

Bucket List & Instagram

How are you, my dears?

Everyone thinks about their lives at one point. "What am I going to do after school? Will I find the love of my life? Do I want to have children and if, how many?" and lots of more questions. Personally, I think that planning is very essential, because you can structure your time and often good results come from hard work and time management. However, too much planning and over-thinking destroys the wonderful moments life gives us when we do not plan anything. Relax, calm down! You do not have to know exactly what you want to do with your life. Enjoy everyday and be thankful for every wonderful moment. Life is too short to spend it worrying what might be or over-analyzing what a person said. Look at your future with your heart full of happiness and expectations. Further, there are so many bucket lists with things you want to have done before you are old. From my point of view, this is kind of fun, and some of the ideas are really nice - but, do not stress yourself with thoughts like "I want to do bungee-jumping before I die - let's get up and try it out now!". Everything happens for a reason and will happen the right time. It is always good to have aims and wishes, but never forget the most important thing: Life needs to be enjoyed!

I want to tell you about my Instagram account: @motivationfromheart . As you all know, I want to make people happy and I love quotes - so if you are interested in this: Check it out ;)

Have a wonderful week!

How I Study & Tips for you

How are you, my dears? I think you all know this situation. You have to study for an exam, but you are not in the mood or you do not know how to start or to work properly. Today, I want to give you some tips on how I study.

#1 Your Workspace

This may sound too obvious or unnecessary, but a cleaned workspace with lots of light is essential for good study results.

#2 The Time

Starting to study at 10pm will not bring good results, because you are so tired and your motivation is on a really low level. Instead, studying in the afternoon is way better, because you are fit and you can spent the evening doing something relaxing and fun. I also recommend to start early enough, at least at the weekend before your test - well, that is actually a bit late, but better than starting the night before.

#3 Motivation

Very important! Even if you do not like the subject - set yourself a goal. This might be getting a better grade or simply really understanding the content. Also getting a good graduation grade can be the thing you want to achieve. With a goal you have something you can work on, something that will motivate you.

#4 Structure

First of all, I write down the topics I have to study. Then I start to write summerys - in keywords. Even if I write down exactly the same as in my notes - when I start using a highlighter the sheet will look very different! ;) Further, writing helps you memorizing the contents you write more. When I am done with writing it all down, I read it out. I kind of do some small presentations to myself to remember everything better. The evening before the exam, I just read everything, but I usually do not add something new. If you did not study it until this time, you would not succeed in starting now.

#5 The Exam

During the exam, I recommend to stay calm. Read the tasks carefully and underline what you have to do. Bring something to drink and check out if you have all your things with you, like pens, paper, pencils etc. When you do not now what to write immediately - relax! Think again and start to write - it might come into your mind when you deal with the topic.

#6 After the Exam

Relax - you made it! Be happy, proud of yourself, and do what you love to do. Spend the day by doing fun things and forget about what you could have written or what your mistakes might be.

I hope, this little "guideline" helped a bit. 

What are your tips for studying?

Inspirational

How are you, my dears? Today, I want to share with you some inspirational/motivational stuff. Firstly, I have some quotes for you:

"Be with somebody that can make you laugh when you do not even feel like smiling."

♥

"Never blame any day in your life. Good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience, worst days give you a lesson."

Furthermore, I want to share some great music with you:

"Waterloo" by ABBA - Although it is quite old, listening to it makes me happy and I start smiling immediatly.

"Summer of 69" by Bryan Adams - This song is awesome! Great voice, power, rhythms etc.

"Angels" by Robbie Williams - I love this song. It is so nice. 

I also have two funny videos for you:

The reactions of the children are very funny, although I think some of them might be overreacting a bit - well, just a little bit ;)

There is also a second part:
