Thursday 11.12.2014 Stay strong and positive, christmas is coming!

Hi guys!

"Only 7 days at school before christmas holiday!". Yep that's how to write it on positive way. But I know most of us at school or work think on other way. On not so super positive way. In fact on pretty negative way. "More than a week before holiday and almost two weeks before christmas! I will have so many tests before holiday! And so much to do! OMG I won't survive this semester or this year!".

But hey, you will... You will survive this week, you will survive next week, you will survive your tests and works, you will survive christmas and what ever you are afraid or worry about. You will survive!

Now it's the time of year to talk and think about surviving, on deeper and lighter way. 

We are unhappy because: have to be at school, have to study, have to work, don't have free time, too long time before christmas, I'm tired, I have headache, it is dark outside, there isn't snow, I'm bored,...

First thing that comes to my mind is the Gambia. Even my contacts aren't so tight anymore I still have good friends there and still can know how's living there. And what I will always have is those memories! I saw a lot of poor people, kids. Too skinny, sick, weak and living in danger. Kids were happy if they got some food, rise, or could go to school. They couldn't dream about presents like we do here in Finland. Their clothes aren't cool and clean, no... It's good if they have even shoes. It's hard for them to stay positive but on many time they do so, they don't wanna show how bad all things are, maybe they don't know about all those luxury things we have but something they know.

Here in homely Finland we also have problems. At least for me it is a bit hard to see many of those problems here because I see most of themselves much smaller than problems abroad. But like I said even here in our own town we have poor kids. 

And what makes me really think when I'm not happy about my life is that I'm alive. In the Gambia I saw people who maybe don't have many years, moths, weeks or days left. Two of my Gambian friends got malary and I was really worry about it. And here in Finland we also have people who are fighting for their life. So be happy your heart beats, you can breath, your brains work, you can see, you can feel and you are alive!

Think of those people who are fighting to stay alive, start thinking your own life on positive way, stay strong, you really have only a few days left at school, and keep up all happiness!

"Even big obstacles may exceed if only wants enought!"

Have a nice christmas time guys,
stay positive,
